OT projector recommendation question

jamie jewett's icon

Greetings folks

this is a slightly OT projector request for a projector recommendation.

can any one recommend a high brightness projector with great contrast -

I have not really spent the time to delve into dark chip 3 and what not
but I have a client who needs a projector for theater use (thus needs to be bright)
AND is not happy with the contrast they are getting -

we are currently using an Optoma Ez Pro 758 -
3000 lumen with a 2000:1 contrast rating

oh ya - it would be good if it were free!
(ok say $2-5k)

many thanks

Jamie Jewett
