The most expensive thing was the projector at CAD 4,500. I got over 10,000 hours out of it though.

Yeah, my "Pearl" also had a MSRP of 5000 USD, but I got it for half of that a year later

It's a shame 4K projectors were pretty much non-existent when 4K tvs started to come down in price already. I paid the same for a 52" 1080p LCD tv the year before (2006) yet 4K projectors were only available as 4096x2160 and 20K or so. There is more choice today, yet not much in the 3840x2160 LCD range. Most are DLP or 4096x2160 LCD. Weird (I see rainbow effect from DLP, very distracting)

Anyway, I play on a gaming laptop nowadays, tastes change I guess. The projector has been sitting idle. The amazing contrast of 4K HDR has put me off projectors.

This looks nice

yet 20K and 4096x2160, no HDMI 2.1 (max 60fps), projectors are behind tvs nowadays.
