Sala Projector and Screen

I. Suggested equipment 

1.) Projector: Epson EH-LS800B (manufacturer's website)
Price: £2,799.00
Suppliers: 
• richersounds.com (recommended supplier)
• amazon.co.uk
• avpartsmaster.co.uk
• atlanticelectrics.co.uk
Note: This particular ultra-short-throw (UST) projector has the following advantages:
1.) It's very bright (roughly twice as bright as comparable projectors), which is essential if projecting in a room which can't be blacked-out (where ambient light can't be eliminated) - which is our use case.
2.) It supports 4K source playback, which is a welcome feature.
3.) It can positioned very close to the screen.
4.) It's from a reputable brand and is a recent model (ensuring it will stay relevant longer).

2.) Screen: 160″ Matt Grey 16:9 Electric Screen
Price: £219.95
Supplier: platinumhomecinema.co.uk
Note: This screen is designed for areas where ambient light can't be eliminated and improves the image quality compared to when using a regular white screen. With our current white screen we have always have had an issue with the projected image appearing "washed out" - this grey screen will help with that issue.
Examples of the benefit of using grey over white projection surface in a room which can't be blacked-out:

Example 3: https://youtu.be/BVQoQHn8F_w?t=786
Example 4: https://youtu.be/mRgXCwEJe_o?t=131

3.) Projector stand/cart: TBD (the required dimensions for the cart can only be confirmed after the projector has been purchased and tested)

4.) Lockable storage for the projector: something like this (has to fit under the shelf in AV room)
