I'm looking for a 4k projector for a room with ambient light

  • budget about $5k NZD ($3k USD)
  • for watching movies/TV (not gaming so I guess I don't need 60fps+)
  • already have a screen 230cm/90″ diagonal 16:9
  • ceiling mounted 2.4m/7.8ft away in middle of screen, so need vertical keystone but not horizontal keystone
  • there is some ambient light so more ansi lumens please sir. maybe 3500+ ansi lumens are needed?
  • would prefer laser or cheap replacement bulbs

Ones I'm looking at

Any recommendations?
