Jimmy Carter posted:Jesus you could buy a projector and make whatever size TV you want. Spend a few extra grand and you can get one powered by lasers. i went one level further and spent $20 on a xenon arc slide projector so i can project up to 80 frames at 0.75 fps in broad daylight

Cybernetic Vermin posted:i have never understood why projectors are so consistently special snowflakes in that they need confirmation to turn off. sure, they are not instantaneous to turn back on, but neither is a modern tv because if you let your projector gently caress up the warmup/cooldown cycles the bulb explodes and you have an angry customer on the phone Uncle at Nintendo posted:the only reason i can think of why a projector would turn itself on like that is a lot of them are mounted to a ceiling and plugged into a ceiling outlet so people probably just want to flick a light switch to turn it on infocus is good. my school's equipment checkout dept has these eensy weensy little infocus LED projectors that cost a zillion dollars and look like ye olde picoprojector but are as bright as the high-end projectors of olde and they're sharp and they barely get warm the xenon thing still outmatches cree's brightest single LED. but it probably won't for long.

i went to a san francisco arts commission show and they were testing some fancy ultra-short-throw laser projectors for Christie by projecting an image like 20x10ft 6 feet away from a wall with no distortion projectors are pretty neat i want to build a flash projector using a long telephoto lens and an old camera with a hole cut in it but i haven't quite got around to it yet

reading this thread and it seems that while projectors are cool, tvs fuckin suck humpbacked tech worker DLL lackey: "euuuuueeehh i spent four thousand dollars on my new television and it shows me ads and spies on me and gets malware! i dont understand!!!" enlightened blue-collar proletariat: "I bought a used TV that fits nicely within my budget. It looks great and does exactly what I want it to. You might want to take a critical look at your choices." php programming RoR gently caress wad: "no! idiot! that's not what i want!! i want a new tv!" salt of the earth wise fellow and overall good guy: "I guess we'll both have to live with what we've got." turns to the camera and winks

Smythe posted:one last cool thing i reasd about once is in the ian m banks book they describe the culture destroying an orbital with gridfire (the grid is whats below realspace or something and its where you go when you travel ftl) and it was cool. reading about the cool space weapons. one time angry keebler made a post about space battles and it was also super cool and one day i hope to read a book by angry keebler. i wish i could find that post. it was so cool. it reminded me of ian m banks style of writing about space battle. thank you angry keebler it's why excession is the best of the culture books
