How about this?

3000 lumen for $1100 USD? I've projected a 1400 lumen lcd project onto a two
story building with decent result. The content used very saturated colors.
Back then, the projector cost around $3500.

By the way, hello everyone; I'm new here. And no, I have no connection with
Dell; am making a visual music synthesizer.

Cheers,

Warren

14 feet is not too hard for 16mm but two stories sounds wider !

Do you have a budget for this ?

  4K video projectors ? Well aside from Sony prototypes, I don't
think so..
