Bit more too it. Dark room or want to watch in some light? Only casting from phone or other devices? What are you doing for sound? Then price range, mounting options etc

Use Youtube and look for old reviews of projectors. The problem being to get something good quality for not much money means you will be looking at an older unit. Older units may miss out on tech of today like casting from devices and may require a wired connection. Not a problem for the likes of a laptop. Possibly problematic for a phone.

Any answer to my questions? really form the solution. Quite a difference between casting phone straight to projector & and wanting usable audio - or - having a chromecast or DVD unit and a stereo and only needing projector for picture

You can buy BD players with 5.1 sound,wifi,BT, and in-built apps such as Netflix quite cheaply - around $250 which you can also play from other devices to. Hook that up to a projector of your choice, price is going to be like $400 and up. I have a BenQ which I paid about $3k, I can watch movies and play games in 3D on my setup.
