I have used a projector my entire life, I have no idea why this isn’t a “thing” (especially with HN crowd-like communities)…

I have a projector that I never use because I don't like the fan noise.

They're great for sports though. Hard to beat an entire wall of screen.

I prefer OLED for TV and movies though.

if you have a family with daytime viewing habits, projectors are basically a no go. 100" tv, with better brightness and black levels, are getting down to $2k range. they only make sense for > 100", and you'll be sacrificing some quality for a bit of viewing angle, usually recovered by scooting your couch a bit closer. i like bright, which is why i no longer go to theaters, which never did make the transition to HDR that they promised over a decade ago.
