We've got a basement that's pretty under utilized. My office and the laundry room is down there, but the living space is just a playroom that our kids never play in because they end up just playing in their rooms. So we're considering making it more into a functional second living room.
My old Panasonic plasma is down there, but there's an empty wall that would be perfect for a projector. 1080p is all I'd need to start off with - we have an LG OLED upstairs that will be the main TV. This will be for family movie night, sports etc. Maybe some old school consoles as well.
My questions are:
1) How much would I be looking to spend for a full set up (not including audio, I have that mostly covered already) - so projector, screen etc
2) What are some good entry level brands? There's a lot of super cheap ones on Amazon that have good reviews, but they are not anywhere near the lowest I would have expected to pay
3) How much distance is needed from the screen to the projector?
4) What sort of maintenance is required?
That about covers it for now.. just looking for some input on what I might be getting myself into. :)
