instead of saving my tax refund I spent the whole thing on a new toy. I bought a Vava Ultra Short Throw Projector, a 100" screen for inside and a 150" screen for occasional outdoor movie parties.
It took me the whole weekend to install but that was primarily due to installing an outlet behind the screen for back lighting (my walls are not easy access).
The picture quality is shocking, crystal clear and vibrant. It's better in the dark but still very good in the daytime. I have a 15' floor to ceiling window in my living room that has a north facing direction so no direct sun.
I don't have the picture completely lined up with the screen yet and will do that as soon as I get my media cabinet setup. For now, the projector is sitting on cardboard boxes at the base of the screen.
