like, why don't people just buy a 4k projector at that point? even if you use it as a full time tv replacement you'll come out ahead on bulbs vs the up front cost of buying some colossal nerd tv

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

lol your dad plays video games

yeah, i definitely encourage both my parents to play video games, it's way better than the people that end up sitting around their house watching cable news and reruns of gunsmoke

i hate projectors for a bunch of reasons. having to watch for ambient light (this isnt as big a problem nowadays tho thank god), getting a hosed up neck cause youre too close to a hugeass screen, having to supply your own speakers
also the bullshit rainbow effect making everyone think im insane http://www.theprojectorexpert.com/dlp-rainbow-effect/

imo, if you're the sort of person that feels the need to dart your eyes back and forth while shaking your head to enjoy your movies, just buy a good projector with a fast wheel or 3 chip, or even a cheapo laser projector

OLED has better picture quality than a projector?? :wth:

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.
