I've just refitted my garage and the main use will be for the golf simulator. To justify the expense, I wanted to make it multi use so will want to use it for gaming and films for the kids too. The Optoma seems ideal, its 4000 lumens, 50000:1 contrast and 8ms input lag. The throw ratio is 0.5:1. Does anyone have any experience with this projector, its available in the UK for under £800?
Due to the shape of my screen, see pic, I can project 16:9 380cm by 214cm or 4:3 320cm by 240cm. If I went for a 16:10 projector I could get 352 by 220cm, anyone know of one with low lag for gaming? There is a large area above the image to catch higher shots and I'll be making a surround. My ceiling is 3.2m at its highest and 2.1 lowest.
I'm hitting from 9ft/ 2.75m away and with 16:9 the Optoma would be 6ft/ 1.9m from the screen. I've tested my swing and that would be clear. I can't go longer than 1.3:1 throw ratio due to depth of room. I've searched a lot of projectors and at the sub £1000 price range there's always one variable falling short. I'm going round in circles and need to make a decision.
I've also seen ideas on here for a sliding rail to switch between 16:9 and 4.3, although if 7ft is high enough from the floor I would probably stick with 16:9.
Sorry for the long post, hoping for some help please.
