Bro, that room brightness visual was so simple but great. I imagine it took some time but it worked flawlessly to illustrate something I was considering.

1. step one, pick your budget, 2. decide your room size, 3. pick highest rated based on room size and budget

I would really appreciate a video on screen technology. Silver, Grey, white, and black screens, "4k ready" screen. Benefits and tradeoff of each, and recommendations.
I've been watching you for a while and been looking into projectors for a while and I've come to realize the environment that the projector is in (ambient light, screen material, surrounding wall color, bias lighting, etc) make more subtle often sometimes dramatic differences in experience.
Thank you for the great content.

These videos are fantastic! I've been trying to research projectors off and on for months and I've not been able to find nearly this much useful info, let alone presented in a simple, easy to understand way. Please keep doing these forever!

Room size is key. We spent an hour last night taking down ceiling tiles, unscrewing and moving the mount, putting back the tile, and reattaching the new projector, for 6 inches. Frustrating, but the picture is perfectly on the screen now. Nice video, as always, Chris.

Just picked up the uhd50 of Craigslist for $700 and I am very happy with it. Colors are deep and vibrant, blacks are black and very sharp. My only gripe, I wish it was slightly brighter but def not a deal breaker.

Geat summary! One of the best I've seen. I would only add eyesight as a caveat to resolution as well. A good # of customers we've installed for, more than I would have assumed, can't pick up the additional detail between 1080p and 4K due to impaired vision.

Great video, you cover a lot of ground for me as a newb. Great work

[pankajmistry]

Excellent information in the new realm of research I’ve found myself in. Good tips on what I should consider. Thanks

Loved the video! What projector would be best for outdoors use for under $500? Thanks!

[jermainejohnson]

I've watched all of your projector videos. Decided to go with the epson home cinema 4000. I love it best entertainment decision I've ever made.

He's clear. He's not pushing his own ego. He knows a lot. Thank heaven!

You do an awesome job with all of your content! Keep up the awesome work! I have a 20' distance from wall I can mount a projector. I can however only go with a 110" screen size on wall. Trying to decide between UHD50, UHD60, P727 or HT2050a. I am more interested in the best picture quality and black levels over fancy features, 3d etc. Can't decide which one to pull the trigger on. Room will be 100% dark.
