70"-80" TV vs Laser projector 4k for conference room idea.
-
My apples to oranges comment was about you saying you have a larger TV in your home than those conference rooms have. While the OP was talking about 70-80" TVs.
Sure conference rooms have had larger project TVs, but I was calling your comparison of having a 84" TV at home apples v oranges when you don't a TV, you have a projector. It's not the same. The end result might be close to the same, but the discussion is not the same.
But now I'm just arguing with myself.. soooooo.........

@Jason
I am thinking of something like smart remote with built in pointer if we go TV route. This does not mean we are settling for Samsung Smart TV.
Since we are not planning on purchasing a projector/TV every year I like it to last at least 4-5 years at 10 hr/usage per week

It's very much the same. I have a 84" display in my living room. That it projects from the front or the back might feel different to you but both are equally TVs. One is not more or less a TV than the other. That's a weird social thing that has arisen, but people in the AV space don't differentiate. Display devices are display devices.

@LAH3385 I have a Panasonic PT-RZ370U. I really like it, it is not 4k, just 1080P. I really like that there is no lamp and no filters. It is maintenance free, so one less thing I have to worry about.
What is the keyword to look for projector that is lamp-less and filter-less? What are they called?
-
@LAH3385 Panasonic calls theirs SolidShine. Don't know about other brands.

@scottalanmiller I know lots of churches that use rear projection. But you can always get a better picture with front projection, way more screen material options.

Even at that for the warranty to be valid at all you'll need to buy a commercial tv for the warranty to be vaild in a business setting.

Just to save from having projects on the main ceiling?

Rear projection is the standard way of doing it in the concert/entertainment industry. You can control the lighting behind better to give you more contrast when you use short throw projectors. Front is more likely to get washed out.

@scottalanmiller Light control is the main reason, sometimes space saving by being able to bounce it off a mirror.
