I've got a 720p Acer projector that is about 6 years old. It's starting to lose colors. It's also pretty loud, we sit directly under it and can't hide it into a shelf or anything. New one might be needed soon, especially if the lamp gives. It's ceiling mounted in a normal living room. Normal (thick) drapes. Room is dark enough 9 months of the year, brightness is mainly needed for summer months. We have a TV for daylight watching. One of our walls is painted to serve as screen with grey paint. Details: http://www.tikkurila.fi/ammattilaiset/varit/varikartat_sisamaalaukseen/symphony_2436_-varikartta/h499.2408.xhtml Distance is about 3 meters from couch to wall. Wall is big enough for a larger picture than our current, but it becomes hard to watch. Future proofing can be hard, but we're likely to watch this thing for at least the next five years. We don't watch TV or almost any series; it's all Blu-Ray movies or in rare cases 480p material. Our current projector has about 1000 hours use time clocked. No gaming, barring maybe Burnout and beer once a year. Criteria: - QUIET. Completely silent isn't possible, but as quiet as possible. - good 2D picture, don't care about 3D - bright enough to work in a living room setting with drapes closed. - reasonably easy remote to learn (I'm not the only user) - can be mounted on a Multibrackets ceiling mount (http://www.multibrackets.com/1011.shtml) - preferred price €2000 or so, hard limit €3000. Suggestions?

King Hotpants posted:If you are already decided on a new projector, check to see if the Sony HW40ES is inside your price range. I'm not familiar with the cost in Euros, but it sounds like it'd work. I finally got a new projector. A Sony HW40ES, and good grief is it beautiful to watch. It's also almost completely silent. Due diligence: I think I browsed through every home theater projector cheaper than Sony, before accepting the fact that there just isn't anything worthwhile out there. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's also more draggable than portable. https://www.amazon.com/LG-PF50KA-Portable-Theater-Projector/dp/B07BHRRWH5 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BVMSMRN/ref=emc_b_5_t
