lotsa people poo poo-talking projectors itt and i have to say i could not be happier with mine i bought the Sony VPLHW45ES after a lot of research and it's amazing. zero rainbow-effect, absolutely no noise (even though it's right above my head) and it is very viewable with lights on here it is with the lights off   here it is with the lights on  i know there's aren't review-worth photos but these are the only photos of it I found on my google photos account. apparently my kid took a picture of the screen that i never knew about lol i got it for $1,400 new and couldn't be happier. yeah I had to spend another $500 on a 150" screen so it was $1,900 total but it was worth every penny and even me with my eyespergers i couldn't find anything to complain about

dragon enthusiast posted:do they even make actually dumb TVs anymore i wouldn't be surprised if Panasonic makes one when i was buying my plasmas back in the day they were the only company that offered a lot of niche poo poo for businesses, like a modular output panel so you could get VGA and DVI and stuff. they even sold some that came with no speakers at all, which I eventually bought, because my living room fireplace can only fit a 42" telelvision above it but with no speakers i was able to fit a 50" there. whenever Panasonic finally starts offering OLED is when i will probably finally buy one. i'm not buying LG because they get caught doing poo poo like uploading the file names of all files on any connected hard drives/SD cards to china

Farmer Crack-rear end posted:yeah that really is the good use for a projector, is to just fill an entire wall floor to ceiling. for whatever reason, and I know this makes no sense, but I don't notice a projector is low-res as much as I do a telelvision (i know this makes zero sense). my friend had a 480p projector for a long time and we always thought it was 720p and we'd play xbox 360 on it and watch movies on it and it looked fantastic (except for the rainbow effect). i never once thought it was not HD until i went to look up the specs years later and sure enough it was just 480p i got really lucky being able to fit a 150" there. the ceilings are only 7' tall, and there's molding around the bottom. if the 150" screen was literally 2" taller I would have had to have gone with a 135" screen instead

Sagebrush posted:I bet that's because the optics fuzz out the pixel edges a bit in a way that an LCD panel does not that's definitely possible, or maybe it looked great because nothing was being upscaled? i actually find properly-calibrated projectors to look sharper than LCDs a lot of the time

angry_keebler posted:in fact, it's even better than that. if you use an oled tv you can watch parts of your favorite shows no matter what's on. lol of course the only technology in TV to surpass plasma also has burn in issues

Silver Alicorn posted:cool man. I never did fix that Virtual Boy by the way. would probably need to invest in a microscope. for some reason it's missing the bracket that holds one of the displays too (but it had an extra display stuffed inside???) send me a pic of the bracket. I'll check if I have another one and I will send it to you Hed posted:the lower left being lower than the right is making me haha i fixed it since then but it's still off by a really small amount. it's perfectly straight on top though so I am not sure what else i can do

OLEDs should get even better soon. I think LG no longer has exclusive rights to make OLED televisions starting in October or something. Personally I'm getting one as soon as Panasonic makes one.

I heard the reason you can't get laptop screens in OLED any longer is because there's no money in the small panels. I have no idea what to believe I just want an OLED TV that isn't glossy and doesn't have poo poo input lag

Sagebrush posted:i think my favorite little detail about world electricity standards is that japan, unlike any other country, uses two different frequency standards. western japan is 110v/60hz like the usa and most of the americas, while eastern japan is 110v/50hz, a standard which is shared only with madagascar. they have four gigantic switching stations in the middle of the country to tie the two grids together that's hilarious also I think Japan is technically 100v
