At the cheap end of the Projector market ...

Projector newbie here, looking to set up a movie den at the crib (bach for North Islanders). The Financial Controller has agreed to the release of limited funds so I'd like to maximise the experience without having to spend Big-TV prices. So that means staying in the sub-$K range. Ceiling- or wall-mounted, room size approx 4x5m, probably screen rather than just painted block wall.

Looking on some of the Sino sites* such as Aliexpress the prices range from $60 to $800 for units that seem to have minimal differences. So what are the things to focus (so to speak) on?

Lumens?

ANSI Lumens?

Contrast?

Native resolution?

Supported resolution?

Source light wattage?

Other traps/pitfalls?

Wifi?

LCD vs DLP?

... or is the price/performance not at that level yet and I should flag it and go with a 60" LCD from the Red Shed?

Cheers,

G.

*I'd like to buy local but a brief look seemed to indicate prices of $web250-300 = $local800-900 which is too large a difference to ignore.
