Dude, same boat. My basement is a cave, literally no windows. I’ve been using the BenQ HT2050A for a while now, and it’s an absolute beast for both movies and gaming. It handles dark scenes really well, which is clutch for horror movie nights. That said, I keep hearing good things about laser projectors for low-light, like the LG HU810P. Anyone got experience with those? I wonder if they last longer in a basement setting compared to bulbs.

Who needs speakers? Just have everyone read lips from the projector screen - problem solved! *)))
