Hi
In 2017~2018, based on the advices on some here on ASR and AVSforum, I acquired a BenQ HT2050A. I have been extremely satisfied with this projector. Its accuracy out of the box is stunning and it lit up my Steward GrayHawk 100 inches (diag) screen very well. I have enjoyed movies for almost 8 years on it and been utterly pleased. I could definitely see its shortcomings, in the black levels and shadow details areas. I have seen better, my TV (LG OLED) is a constant and quasi-daily reminder. I was about to go large TV, even tried on Samsung (non-OLED) but experience wasn't as cinemartic.
The other night was going for Alien Earth ( An excellent series, BTW) and no forewarning... red light on the PJ, .. went from working normally, to no picture and a red LED... Lamp is likely toast and replacement is about $250 ..
Time for a change.
Waiting for your replies, comments and suggestions.
Peace

- Room is relatively small, 3.5 x 4.8 x 2.8 meters concrete dedicated. Good light control and painted dark gray.
- Budget<=$3000 for PJ + Screen, or TV
- Cinematic Experience, at least 98 inches diagonal, more is better
- HDR? maybe , close to HDR would be nice
- 4 K? hand-waving
- Like the idea of a Laser source for durability.
- Have heard all the noise/hype about Valerion PJ. Like the reviews. No experience with these.
- Bought a Stewart GrayHawk at a great price but are there SMSL/Topping/Fosi screen equivalent equivalent to Stewart Screen... low price but high performance based on measurements?
