My experience with projectors is that they are noisy, power hungry beasts with display quality far inferior to monitors. Has that changed? | ||

My laser projector is crystal clear, colorful, bright and the fan never kicks on. It can do 4K/60Hz or 1080p/240Hz. Highly recommend. I have a 120" gray screen a couple meters away and I code on it all the time. Nowadays it's even easier with the wealth of ultra short throw projectors on the market, if you have the budget. Personally I got an open-box long-throw projector for half-off at $1500, plus a $500 mid-budget screen. Definitely worth the investment. | ||

A little bit. You could get an ultra-short throw projector which sits close to the screen, and sit on the other side of the room. Projectors still draw more power than monitors; but, with new tech like LED and laser lighting, it doesn't matter that much. | ||

The noise varies quite a lot, the main issue imho is that they're close to useless when daylight is in the room so you're going to be mostly working with the blinds drawn if you're hoping to work on it. | ||
