Upgrading from HD to 4K projector - recommendations?

ButcherOfNog

I've spent many hours over the last few days comparing projectors, and can't decide, mostly down to gaming input lag concerns and not wanting to go for a pure gaming projector.

What I currently have for the last 8 years:

Benq W1070 HD/3D projector, ceiling mounted 410cm from a 16:9 122" Sapphire screen, a Yamaha RX677 AV unit, 5.1 speaker setup, and a Playstation 5

I've the sofa sitting forward of the projector and the rear surround speakers, so I never hear any projector fan noise.

I use the setup for streaming services, Blurays, and casual gaming on the PS5, I don't mind a small bit of input lag, would like it less (or at least no more) that I currently get from the W1070 (20-40ms)

Budget could stretch to about €1,900 or so (you might be able to convince me to go a bit higher)

Help :)

Oh and I've blackout blinds, so ambient light not an issue in the room

Hey ButcherOfNog.

Thanks for the post.

You could check out the Benq W2700i coming in at 1899 Euro

Or if you wanted to change to a short throw there is the Optoma Cinemax P2 coming in at 1799 Euro

Another nice projector just over budget would be the Xgimi Horizon Pro priced at 1999 Euro

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks for the suggestions, are there any important differences between the W2700 and the W2700i? I don't need the wifi or the Andriod stuff, so it seems like the BenQ W2700 would cover what I'm looking for.

Also looking to replace my projector mount, as the one I have bugs me every 2 years when I need to replace the bulb

So I'd like to order the following (as long as there isn't something I'm missing from the specs of the W2700/W2700i:

Hi Noel.

The only difference between the i and the non i is just the smart features.

The W2700 would be £1299 / 1499 Euro.

I can offer the bracket @ £100 / 115 Euro

Total would then be £1399 / 1614 Euro Delivered.

Let me know your thoughts.
