Been waiting for this to drop for the last month and is finally under £400. Seems unbeatable off the reviews for a 1080p projector in this price range. Also at PC world online.

I must confess this was a bit of a hassle, but as it's Christmas...
Great projector - bought mine in March 2016 for the same price (£389.99)

The £369.99 link comes without accessories, opened box and "major scratches". Worth the extra money IMO.

never thought of using a projector instead of a tv. is there things I need to know before I think of buying 1 ?

2 key things: (1) a suitable wall or screen to project onto and (2) how much ambient light is in the room / do you watch tv during the day.
It has replaced my tv permanently, however I generally only watch tv/films in the evening (where it comes into its own).

You could do but many don't , especially in the summer months , the picture will be washed out and look like terrible , these things need a darkened room to get the best out of them , along with a good source material.

I'd argue must importantly, how much do the inevitable replacement bulbs cost

Google optoma calculator to check the adequate throw distances for mounting the projector
23,000 contrast & 3,000 lumens on the HD141x vs 10,000 contrast & 2,000 lumens on the W1070, am I missing something which makes the W1070 a better model? Both are similarly priced at RS at the moment

While I do agree with light issue during summer days, I got LG PF1000 LED projector and it's projecting on wall on living room. It has replaced our TV last year around same time. I bought for £899 that time but amazon is currenty selling at £699. I know it's big price diffrence compared to Optama deal, If I would have been you would invest in future.
