A year later, my budget home theatre system is still going strong.
In 2022, I bought a projector for R1,300 and eventually added a second-hand 5.1 soundbar setup to completeI initially did this only as an exercise to see how cheaply it could be done and never planned on using it long-term.
This makes for a perfect projection screen, and the projector is mounted across the room on a DIY floating shelf, together with a Netogy Nova Android TV box, through which I stream all my media. I also regularly use the soundbar as a regular Bluetooth speaker for music on my phone, or if it is already connected to the Nova, I stream music through Chromecast.The budget projector has very poor brightness performance, making it struggle with ambient light in the room.
There is no real fix except upgrading to a significantly more expensive projector or a large 4K TV, which would solve both problems. Comparing a less expensive 65” 4K TV to my setup feels absolutely tiny, which shows how quickly I have become spoiled by my budget home theatre.
