Hi All,
I am looking for a projector to use in a small room (10.36' from screen to wall) for a 106" screen. This appears to be a challenge to find a HT projector with a short throw (There are plenty of business type ones though).
Does anyone happen to have a link to a site that will spit out projectors that will fit certain dimensions? I know projector central has one that you can pick projector one by one and check...but after finding the common projectors that are the go to on a budget, I've spent days stuffing around and come up with nothing.
If such a site doesn't exist, does anyone have any advice on a projector for me please?
I currently have a Benq w1070 which has served me well for almost 4 years, but it now has issues - not really happy with that investment, I thought I'd get longer. I haven't even changed a lamp yet.
I am going to see if I can repair - I've already replaced fans, with no success - it has a fan error, so I suspect it must be a controller, which I assume will be expensive. I presume it won't be economically viable to repair however.
So I am likely to go with a new projector and am looking for recommendations please. The two challenges I have are price and room size. The room is quite small to obtain 106" diagonal:
3158mm / 10.36ft Screen to curtains (the projector is on a wall with a window)
Considerations:

Considerations:
- A build thread from years ago Help Design My Small Theatre
- Budget:I'd really like to stay under $1000aud / $700usd, but could go to $2000aud / $1400usd if it was for a much better quality and longer lasting than 4 years.
- I am happy with HD, but of course would prefer 4k, but probably not in my budget
- Screen is a 106" Silver Ticket acoustically transparent 4k screen.
- I need a ceiling mounted projector
- I can't redesign the room
- I could move to a smaller screen, but I literally built the room around the screen I bought. Plus, they are expensive here in Australia, so it's not desirable. It would be more preferable to spend an extra $1000aud on a projector then to change the screen.
