M.A.KHANThe problem with LG Projectors is that their image size (diagonal) is very less i,e it is only 3meter that too in its latest model PF1500, in rest of its model it is just 2.5 meter. The price range of LG Projectors starts from 50000 INR. In this price BenQ offers you its model GP 20 which has 6.99 meter diagonal projection image.And GP 20 is also LED lamp. -
M.A.KHANcan anybody suggest a popular brand projector having LED lamp, 15000 or higher contrast 700 lumen bright, and 3 meter (diagonal) projected image under 50000 INR
