Hi,

Did anyone try projectors as alternatives to TVs to watch movies?
Is it easier on the eyes?

__528491__ Most projectors except the super expensive "three chip" models use a spinning colorwheel, where the image on screen has the colors flicker very fast in order to make a full picture.

Something to keep in mind.

Epson Home Cinema 2150 has worked fine for me.
uses a bulb (instead of LED) for illumination which I think helped me.

Trialed a LED one (RAGU Z720) prior and was no good for me

Yes, I am going to buy one as no TV (LCD, LED, Plasma) is usable for me. Have tried a couple of DLP projectors and they work very well for me, no symptoms. Of course they were not the cheapest ones, all ~900 EUR (I do not remember the models, they were all Benq's). The Full HD one had a lot of details, no blurry pictures. Also my room is very bright during the day, but I could see the picture very well.

randomboolean Did you try cheap ones that were not usable?

KM I think I recall one time during last year when I had to use meeting room, but I refused to look at laptop. It was a 800x600 simple projector. I guess it was DLP. My eyes were OK.
