what projector do I buy

preferably one with lasers

color reproduction with laser projectors is terrible. also the flickering makes old DLP projectors look good

get a dlp with LEDs - all the problems with DLP were solved by getting rid of the color wheels

how many nit is 1800 lumen

a nit is a candela/m2. a lumen is a candela*steradian. so it depends on how much area those lumen are spread over

your eyes are capable of seeing this huge cie chart why would you let anything less than Rec 2020 in?

are there videophiles that are crazy about impossible colors like audiophiles and ultrasound/infrasound?

the best podcasts are recorded via skype with everyone sitting in their backyards, poorly edited, and only vaguely about the stated topic

i like shutdown fullcast, you see

“poorly” implies it’s edited in the first place

lol they build more sets in prequels because computer graphics were bad back then

I assume Lucas made the real sets look like terrible CG in ep2 to blend in?

Just look at the massive elaborate set they build for EP1, and then on EP7 its like "welp lets just let bob from VFX do it" because it looks better.

Ep2 and 3 are the bad ones for that, it’s clear in 1 they ran out of money after the “roger roger” droids and jar jar
