Clay has owned his for 5 years and we watch it EVERY SINGLE DAY and has not had to replace a single bulb yet. That is insane!

The picture is great, can throw an image over 100″, and works great for gaming as well. The only issue Clay has ever had with it was trying to find the remote control for it because his kids LOVE to lose remote controls.

He has had home theaters for almost 20 years now. This has by far been the best combo of affordability, longevity, and picture quality. Clay loves it.

Yamaha YHT-4950U 4K Ultra HD 5.1-Channel Home Theater System with Bluetooth

The Yamaha products Clay has are no longer available. But, this is VERY close to what Clay has now. In fact, Clay has 2 systems almost exactly like this one. 

Yamaha makes amazing audio products and you cannot beat the value and quality. He would highly recommend this as a package and for under $600 and almost 900 4.5 ratings, Clay thinks you would be very pleased.

Ceiling Mounts

You are going to need a ceiling mount (most likely). This one is going to take a little bit of research for you as it will be based on your needs and where you are mounting your projector. 

The good news is that most ceiling mounts fit most projectors. Just double check in your research just in case to make sure.
