Optoma EH200ST vs. EH415ST

[Gamble Gamble]

The projector central calculator is awesome. I have narrowed my two possible projectors to the EH200ST and the EH415ST. The sim will be in my garage with two overhead lights and a garage door light. It will be used with the par2pro HQ material screen.

The EH200ST seems perfect but I am unsure if the 3000 lumens is enough. If not I would go with the EH415ST (3500 lumens) but the issue is that the picture size would have to be reduced from 12 x 7 to 10 x 6 due to the throw distance on Optoma's website.

Has anyone used the EH200ST in a lit environment with TGC? If so is the picture clear and bright? Thank you

(I do not have access to a light meter)

EH200ST looks good from my research. I think I found a winner.

Did you go with the EH200ST, and if so how is it? I'm trying to get 12' x 9' image from about 8 feet, looks like this would work perfectly.

Went with the Optoma GT1080 and it is perfect.

I was also looking at both the EH200ST and EH415ST and came across this post. How does the Optoma GT1080 do in a fairly well lit room? This is my only concern with this projector. I plan to project a 4:3 image which means I may be further back than you if your projecting a 16:9 or 16:10 image. What aspect ratio are you projecting and how far is your projector from the screen?

So what did you go with? How has it worked out? I'm looking for the same thing you were regarding aspect ratio and projector location.

Anyone have comments on what is better if was same price used the EH200st or the regular GT1080 not the darbee or HDR cause they are a whole other league
