Any sub $3500 PJ's that can light up 150" 16:9 in a light controlled room?

Looking to do an acoustically transparent screen with inwalls....

Thanks.

Epson LS800B? BenQ x3000i?

The Epson 5050UB would produce the best image and would be fine lighting up an image that size and will deliver the best image, by a fair bit, over the others which are available. I've seen the 5050UB used on a 180" AT screen before and it did a very good job.

I don't know if this is legit but a site has the JVC DLA-X790R 4K for $3700 NIB. Should that be a consideration?

JVC lists the X790 brand new for $4,000 on their website. I thought it had been discontinued, so if someone has it new, then that's a good price. It may NOT have a JVC warranty as it may not be selling from an authorized vendor. Still, it's a solid model and will look quite good for the money. I use my X590R on a 161" 1.3 gain screen and it looks solid.

Depends on your definition of “light up”.

Depends on what you are accustomed to.

And if it’s a lamp-based PJ, the brightness will decline and it will seem like the replacement OEM lamps just aren’t as good.

Worth a gamble on a 2200 hr Epson LS10500 for $1900?
