I've been looking this for few weeks. Previous cheaper price was in Nov, 2021 for $2695 and the cheapest at JB was in May, 2021 for $2595. I'm sure you could ask for a better price if you buy at a store.
I have a media/sitting room, not that big 3.5x3.8m. Once the blinds and sliding door is closed, the room is not pitched dark during day time but at night is clearly dark. Previous users, experts in projectors; what do you think.
