DIY Home Theater - Projection Theater for cheap $$

[@gmott2010]

Finding a good quality used projector at or over 720p for under $100 can be a little challenging sometimes. I have since upgraded this Sanyo to a much larger 1080p projector that was used in a local college. I also picked up a great pulled down screen at the same school. If you're looking for something in a little higher of a budget. Amazon & Epson usually have good deals on refurbished units.

Just got an old Epson 915W for $140usd (pretty expensive in Canada with the exchange) that I'll use with a Pi as well (Plex + Kodi). Can't wait to use it :) Are you still enjoying your new setup?

@@alexitanguay I have since switched to a plex server with Roku's connected throughout the home. I found a Panasonic PT-AE2000U for the theater at a surplus auction, paid roughly $80 US... even came with a bulb. This unit upgraded my setup to an HDMI connection and 1080p for a $40 difference after selling my old one.
