whats wrong with 120Hz

try dividing 24 into 120

now try dividing 24 into 600

now think about how :how: most movies are filmed in 24fps and your tv is 60/120 hz

plasmas were never 600hz that was a marketing thing. they just had the ability to do multiple refresh rates. like mine could do 60hz for 30fps content and 48 or 96hz for 24fps content.

most 4k projectors under 10 grand can't do actual 4k and projectors are a pain in the rear end, noisy and require maintenance so they've been relegated to grognard use

idk, I bought my parents some "super duper gaming" viewsonic projector and they didn't have any trouble plugging it in and now my mom says my dad runs around picking flowers in the witcher but on a 100" screen

I feel like I'm missing something simple because both 120 and 600 are evenly divisible by 24. That or I'm worse at arithmetic than I thought.

Or does the 120hz mode in TVs tend to be some interpolated deal that doesn't solve the problem?

4k hdr looks loving weeeirrddd for like 5 minutes until you get used to it and then it just looks super good

my idiot sarnsung tv has to manually be set to allow hdr input though so i watched all of blade runner 2049 in sdr then went "hmm why does the option menu say "standard" in tiny letters?", so now ive got to watch it again which is ok because its a good film

also my tv updated and now shwos ads i nthe menu bar which loving blows and my br player also interrupts films to demand an update so that can go gently caress itself too.

That sucks. The first time I watched my Prometheus BD it demanded a USB flash drive be inserted but didn't say why. I imagine its to download a key or certificate or something from the internet. So far only that movie has asked for one.

When my Samsung plasma was new, I could use a neat app on my Android phone and it would stream whatever the TV was showing, audio and video, to my phone. I could poop and not stop watching. Later I think Samsung lost a patent or a court case, so a "Required" firmware update disabled that function without explicitly warning me first. That was annoying, I liked that feature.

projectors don't do great in anything other than a darkened room, and they take time to turn on and warm up, and they're noisy
