Recommended Home projector

[gaelic-red]

Hi all, I have an etoe home projector for viewing in a bedroom. It was an hd , 600 ANSI with a 10w speaker. I have it 3 years but lately the bulb has started to deteriorate and it's not replaceable. Would anyone have any recommendations on a new one that the bulb CAN be replaced ? About €300 budget, thanks

I went the same road as you and started with a cheapy to see if I'd use it enough to justify a better one. My recommendation is a used Epson. Find one that does at least native 1080p. They are so bright and bulbs are easily had. Let me know if you want any help comparing models.

Would you have any links to where you got your one ?

Epson often has used listings themselves but anything like Facebook marketplace often has listings.

I can get one of these for £90 but don't know how good they are?

There's a million of these cheap chinese projectors. If you aren't sure if you are going to use it much and are only going to be using it in a dark room I'm sure it will be fine. If you have any ambient light or plan on using it frequently, its e-waste.

Dirt Mcgirt, would either of these "float your boat " they are 2nd hand and whithin budget for me , thanks in advance​

Epson EF-22 or Epson EF-12​

The EF22 has Google TV and at 22db it's 5 dB lower in noise . The EF12 has Android (not sure which). Not too much of a difference really and it's only for TV box set or catch up TV , bedroom viewing.

@gaelic-red Specs are more than fine, especially for a bedroom. If prices are close that EF22 is pretty nice.
