Bang for buck projector for church/community center

Hi everybody

 

I am looking for a bang for buck solution to replace an aging projector.

 

Image fidelity as such shouldn't be the main focus as this is not used to host cinema nights. However, this projector is expected to project to walls and in not perfectly dark environments.

Also it will be used by people that cannot be expected to be tech savvy.

 

Would appreciate suggestions.

 

EDIT:

The projector is just stood on a table, it's not permanently mounted.

 

Projector will be up to 10 feet from the wall and the wall is large enough for about 14ft diagonal.

 

So I'm guessing something portable would do fine.

There is no budget. This is a facts finding tour. Obviously the cheaper the better as it always is in these environments.

 

Distance to wall from 2 meters to 20. Again, community center. I'm not sure this thing will have the luxury of being a permanent installation.

 

Size of projection, also no idea. I don't think this thing will see an actual screen too often.

Whats thr current projectors model nr? If that thing suffices then we can look for one based around that as a min spec.

Don't know where that's stored but I did check the location and updated initial post.

BenQ TH685P looks good to me. I have an LG sound bar I want to get rid of. I could gift that too so they'd have an actual cinema setup... of sorts :D.

 

Any opinions on that projector? I know it's DLP and won't last 20k hours but I can get this for under 700 alpine bucks and as such when it dies, it dies.
