That was what I idea before I upgraded to a 3,000 lumens projector. unfortunately, iba talaga ang 2,500-3,000 lumens vs 1,500 lumens or lower PJ. And mind you, a 3,000 lumens PJ with ambient light is also not that good. it's not simply about the bleeding light. It also has something to din with the reflected light of the screen.
HOWEVER, as master Tony likes to say, "kung saan ka masaya, suportahan taka". If you are satisfied with your PJ, congrats sir!
3000 lumns vs 1500 lumens iba talaga. But you have to consider room size, distance/image size in the absence of outside light.
3000 vs 1500 lumens is not much difference if the image is small we all know that.
But the projector we are thinking about is a 5000lumen/Short life projector vs 3000 lumens longer life PJ.
In general you really do not need 3000 lumens. Unless it is 120ish up image size.
Much more a 5000 lumen PJ.
I have a 300 lumen, 800 lumen and a 3000 lumen PJ.
Try watching a movie with a scene in a sunny bright day with white snow background in a 3000 Lumen PJ in a dark/controlled room 100 inch image size.
I want to know if you can stare/look at it for a few seconds
