Hi,

I have been actively looking for a decent projector around 30k in Indian market.
I have ended up with Wzatco Legend pro and Borosso Ultima Gen 3. However I don't have first hand experience with any kind of projector, I am curious if these would be enough or if there are better projectors around this range. I have a MiBox 3 that I will connect with these projectors so software and performance are not an issue,because I will never use apps on the projector.

I am open to suggestions and flexing the budget too, are there any new launches that I should wait for ?
 
Hey

I have been using PixPaq Pro, models shared should be similar. I have been using mine occasionally for movies and web series. Works decently for the price.
Learnings
-Regular/Long throw projector need proper centre placement for no colour aberration on corners
-Keystone correction and focus is not wonderful in all models, do check this
-Option for multiple HDMI inputs ( mine has just 1 which is scary to live with)
-Inbuilt speakers are just meh, get a soundbar or something for better audio experience
-You may want to explore ALR screen for better colour contrast (im currently using a white wall, not the best way)
-You may want to get blackout curtains (budget projectors are not bright enough)
-Get the projector installed on a proper wall mount and avoid moving, you'll probably end up wasting a lot of time adjusting and ruining the actual time when you want to watch anything.
-Inbuilt OS is a joke, I'm also using Jio Box

Would request to keep this conversation open so anyone else also seeking can participate and help us improve.
PS. I also own Epson 695Wi with its own pain.

Thanks for adding to the thread. Borosso Ultima Gen 3 solves a lot of issues you mentioned including Short Throw, 2xHDMI. I never wanted to use speakers on these projectors though.
