    Bedroom projector?

    My wife and I want to get a projector for our bedroom, since there isn't a good place to put a TV. As with anything these days, there's a billion options and I know nothing. So, does anyone know of any decent options, preferably $200ish?

    I did this.

    Buy one off Amazon.

    That way when you stop using it in a month and you don’t need it anymore you can return it.

    it’s cool for when your sick in bed but not practical after work just wanting to decompress on the couch.

      Asking which projector model is like asking which which year spyder paintball marker is the best, there’s just too many to list. I’d say anything 4k resolution. Under $500.

        Just jump on ali express and see what you can find for the price. At $200 there's not a whole lot, might be better to go second hand DLP.

        OR, and I know this wasn't asked for, but personally I'd avoid a TV in the bedroom for the sake of my marriage, and for pavlovian association reasons. The bedroom should be primarily for sleep = better mental health etc.. Though TBH sitting up on your phones individually is almost certainly worse.

          I use the following for my little studio. For less than $60 it works pretty good. Sometimes I'll hookup my portable Bluetooth if I'm trying to crank the volume up. Majority of the time I use the built in speaker. I use my firestick to stream my movies and shows on Plex. I just use it on my wall. No proper paint or screen. This is just a temporary setup before I move.

            As far as image quality goes, it doesnt really matter. Cheap projectors usually have a pretty dull and unfocused image

            i would go for ease-of-use. I had a $200 projector that was a pain to set up. Had to connect to like 5 different things with different remotes. Super annoying

            Now i have a mid-range Epson and its much easier to use. Just turn it on and start watching. Also much better image quality. but it did cost $800
