    Projector Upgrade

    I am looking to upgrade my projector and wanted to see some options. I currently have an Optoma 1080 Darbee that's mounted on the celing around 8 feet from my screen. I have a fairly dark garage but still want a more clear pictue. My screen is a Carls Preferred 12x9.
    • I am not looking to go 16:9 and want to stay 4:3
    • The screen is on it's 5th year so it will more than likely get upgraded to a Carls Premium or similar (options on this are always welcome)
    • I would like to stay close to the same mounting distance from screen (if that's not possible then that's ok)
    • Is there a point in going 4k if I'm running 4:3?
    • Price point will matter (not trying to spend a more than $1,500-$2,000 area for now)
    • I am going to hang something dark blue or black behind the screen to help bleed through this weekend.
    I am attaching pics of my current setup.

      How much of an upgrade is that from what I’ve got?

          $1,549 on Amazon, so about double the cost of the Optoma GT1080. I have the same as you and I am interested in this upgrade. Let us know if you pull the trigger.

            I am debating between the GT1090HDRx for $1500, UHD35STx for $1500 and 4K400STx for $2000.

            The 35 and 400 are both 4k​
