Hi all,

Am looking into getting a cheaper non-big-brank but Full HD projector like this:
https://www.takealot.com/ultra-link-full-hd-50-250-smart-led-projector/PLID70396919

Budget is 6.5k to 8k for now - unless there are very compelling reasons not to look in that range.
Full HD projectors with big-brand names are significantly more expensive - starting from R12k upwards.
(hence my looking at the budget non-big-brand full HD projectors)
The projector would throw from the back wall 3.5m onto the opposite white wall (maybe would get a screen in time).
This would be on a shelf above the head of the bed, so low fan noise would be a factor I'd consider important.

So a few questions:
Is LED the same as 3LED?
What are the risk/s of going with a cheap brand?
Are cheaper ones noisier?
Does this projector look decent? i.e. for half the price of a big-brand full HD, is it good value for money?
What other models/brands should I consider in this budget range?

Any comments or experience with this brand or model or similar are most appreciated!

Cheers
