Separated cow friends taste the best
Is that why Nick was just chilling in the background?
@@BlueEyedColonizerHave respect for that which you kill or consume.
I love how Nick is taking a nap on the couch!
I just like how Nick is just hanging around waiting for the gaming to start ^^
I just want to mention the camera work in your videos. For example, in this video there was a lot of essentially "talking head" where a static shot would normally be used. However, Phil's very subtle "hand-held" motion and zooms into a closeup of you and back out to more of the room just make the video feel more alive and like I'm in the room listening to you. In the real world, if I were in a room listening to you, I would be making eye contact with you and looking back and forth at the thing you're talking about, and Phil captures that extremely well. And I'm not quite sure how Phil does it, but it's a very smooth and stable hand-held, not the super annoying shakey cam. Anyway, this is something I've noticed and really appreciated about your videos for a little while now and wanted just just mention that I notice it and I appreciate it and I think it makes your videos better. Merry Christmas!
wait wait wait you never thought jay would be talking about a projector made for xbox well you thought wrong cause here it is🤣🤣🤣
Just want to clear something up on theater projectors. You can find 4k but most theaters are only 2k. I've had a couple of my films make into festivals and I have to have DCP (Digital Projection File) file created to playback on the theater projector. I only did a 2k file for my last 2 films because 4k was useless. It was surprising to learn this.
Weird. You’d think something that large would need to be 4K or higher, even with the light scatter. Because you can almost see pixelation at 4K on a 20 foot screen
Virtually all projectors are designed to project the image with the lens at either the bottom of the screen (table top) or the top of the screen (ceiling mounted). If you place the projector at either of those heights and it’s centered and perpendicular, you don’t need any keystone adjustment. Home theater enthousiasts don’t use any keystone as it degrades the image quality somewhat. Just take some care in projector placement and you’ll be fine with not having any digital image adjustment.
Exactly
yup
And you can get the projector to optically align perfectly. Just takes some time and proper placement. I do it all the time at work.
Video projectors today are easier to calibrate than they were back in the 1980s & 1990s when those projectors needed to align each of the three lenses to display a perfect colour image & they can also be mounted for front & rear projection. It's been a long time since I had a rear projection TV & those things were heavy.
@@stuartlief9614 Yeah, one doesn't even know what the word calibration means, until one has calibrated one those 3 CRT-tube Barco projectors ;)
I bought a projector specifically for Halo CE LAN party's and it was an incredible experience. After the party I remember playing on legendary difficultly and flying through the game. To this date my dream setup was running three projectors on PC with convergence software on an oval screen with Nvidia 3D Vision and as I was waiting for the projector and processing tech to improve Nvidia killed off 3D Vision. This was before Linus demonstrated this on his channel.
nerd
I had 4 super bright 1024x768 projectors in my house that we used for LAN parties back with the original Halo CE in 2001 which ran at 480 resolution. I used to staple thick white sheets over the closet openings in my house to use as backdrops. They worked perfectly and as you mentioned, it was the best LAN party gaming experience I have ever had (even today).
Was Nick getting paid for laying on the couch then Jay LOL
FYI Cinema still maxes out at 4k. The projectors are either using a Xenon lamp, which is the majority of equipment installed, or lasers which have been slowly rolling out over the last 4 years. It will be 2025-2026 before the majority of cinemas are 4k laser systems and at least 10 years before anyone might see a wider rollout of anything 8K or above. Even the top of the line IMAX laser system that they partnered with Barco/Cinionic on is only 4K.
very true, but also - there are reasons the resolution matters less in the theater vs a screen (especially film vs game).
@@xBINARYGODxit helps when you're sitting 30 ft from the screen like a cinema
He mistook that 8k and 12k cameras exist so said to himself that cinemas must be too. Maybe there is 1 or 2 that are 8k but that's not the world.
IMAX 70mm (estimated at 18K) would like to have a word with you
@@nemesis2264 I know, just saying higher resolution is noticeable, and digital is in that aspect inferior
I remember having 144" projector for 720P back in 2012 playing my Xbox. Epic my friends.
High def baby!
I with you on this one, I had a crappy 720p Epson one as well around the same time. It may not have been the greatest picture quality but playing games on a white wall pretty much floor to ceiling was awesome.
My cousin had one like that but on PS3. We'd go over there and chill and watch cheesy movies and get drunk. Or cheesy anime like Hajime no Ippo, and every time they'd say "Makunouchi", we'd take a drink.
i too, have enjoyed the oversized pixels of a projector on my xbox. cod never looked so pixely
Madden and CoD are awesome!
Nick is waiting for you to draw him like one of your french girls haha
I liked how you imagined a 1000in screen and then thought that was too small and referenced a 40ft screen, which is half as large.
He said 1000 inch, not foot.
@@kutark u right, that was a typo on my part, fixed. My comment still stands lol.
@@bravoyankeezulu facts
120" screen with an Epson LS12000. 4K/120hz. No VRR support, but with a 7900XTX it hasn't been an issue. It has been glorious.
That's crazy! I think my 90" screen is 10ft wide so 120" is ridiculous to me. lol
@@BlackJesus8463 85-90 inches is great for gaming. I am not saying 120 is wrong but personally I find the 85 to be a do it all size that lets you split the difference between media and gaming is great. Also it matters what games you play as well.
The main use cases that I've seen for gaming on a projector is for video game tournaments. You have a huge screen for the crowd to see the action easily and clearly
The JVC projectors can do 4k 120hz or 1080p 240hz
The JVC Nz9 and JVC NZ8 can also do 8k 60
but how much do they cost?
@@tjflashtony yup and can do the 4k 120/1080p240. The 240 is experimental atm iirc
@@lyianx more than this pile of garbage. Plus can actually be used as a good HT projector unlike this.
Hey Jay, just wanna say thank you for all your videos and expert information! I just built my first PC and used your insight to help. Thanks again and Merry Christmas!
Not a bad product for the price, if only I had the room for it. As the year is coming to a close wanted wish you, Phil and Nick and the whole JTC family a happy holiday season! Best of wishes for 2024!
I have the ViewSonic PX748-4K. I have used it for gaming streaming from my PC but mostly for TV/movies via Apple TV 4K. It'll do 1080p 240hz or 4k60. Looks very good with decently low latency. Can confirm the bulb does take a few minutes to warm up and cool down since it's not LED.
How are the black levels? I know it's probably not amazing but I've always wanted to get an opinion for those lower prices ViewSonic models.
@@justinbeamon6624 They could be better for sure. I think 12000:1 is the spec. When this projector gives up the ghost I’ll likely go for a higher end one.
It's actually a huge diappointment for the audio out options. Just a single 3.5mm jack and that's it.
What about opitical? What about 5.1 channels, or 7.1 channels? Considering the price, I would've highly expected much more audio out options aside from just a single 3.5mm jack
I would love to see this tested on a PC tower or laptop! Let us see what it can truly do with powerful hardware =D
I use this on my desktop, works AMAZINGLY well! 1080p at 240, 1440p at 120 and 4k at 60 all with HDR. An easy plug and play, didn’t have to change anything in Nvidia control panel except for changing the resolution.
Was Phil painting Nic like a new age French girl?
damn they're really putting 'gaming' in front of everything huh
the add department was clearly included after throwing a tantrum. be glad it doesn't have a speed stripe
Would go well with my gaming sofa, gaming rug, gaming window, gaming room light, gaming speakers, and gaming fridge! 😂
Back in "the day," I worked for a large corporation's IT department and we did a lot of A/V work. With traditional bulb projectors that are on like 4 to 8 hours a day for presentations and training classes, they go through bulbs like every 6 months to a year; and those bulbs cost around a hundred dollars sometimes. LED has been fantastic for projectors.
I looked for hours to find a high quality projector screen under 500$ and I finally found the perfect recipe. I forgot the channel name I discovered that showed me the materials needed. But all ya need is polyester fabric and get grey, black, and white material. Then layer them together and stretch them over your frame. Depending on the type of picture you want depends on how you layer the fabric. And the screen is viewable from both sides and in a mildly lit room with a cheap(300$) projector. Definitely worth doing if your into projectors.
Some careful position calibration happening on the couch
4K 60 rocks for city builders like Terraformers, certain simulations like Kerbal Space or Flight Sims, strategy titles like Civilization, most types of office work, video editing, 4K youtube, 4K Netflix, etc
You can have just as much fun playing multiplayer 60 fps as anything. It's not perfect but its nice.
@@BlackJesus8463 Yeah it depends on the game and how competitive you are.
Projectors usually work best in a room with enough space to do it justice, eg cinema room, the price would suggest it’d be of more interest to someone with greater means, or decent disposable income.
Having to manually fanny about with the 4K switch would get old pretty quick but if you did want to make use of the different refresh rates for different sources, I suppose you’d put up with it. Should have auto detect though.
Looks like it’d be ideal for party games, but I don’t have room for that in my man cave. Or any friends I’d care to let in there… 😂
It's not even that bad. I mean if you're used to loading screens you can take the time to scratch your butt or something.
I like how Nick is just casually in the background doing various things the entire time. It was amusing/cool (I get that that's their space and Jay is "on the floor" as he put it & nick was purposely playinh something in the background to test the projector more, so yes I know that's why, I'm just saying it is funny to see).
Remember folks: A ceiling is just a wall that has been suspended horizontally.
Just a heads up for anyone interested in getting this, I would HIGHLY recommend it, and the screen he has, I have as well and it also works well. I got this because I couldn’t fit a tv bigger than 75 inches in my basement so I knew this would be a great alternative. I use a 100 inch screen in my basement.
perfect for calling friends (something that is becoming increasingly rare) and playing a sports or fighting game.
I like your background design, feels very comfy, sofa feels soft
6.8 years of continuous use...
"An order of magnitude of half" LMAO
Literally came to comments to see if nobody else noticed it, lol.
I would consider it, but for the money, I can get a powerful gaming PC and 4K 120hz tv that supports all the stuff it doesn't.
Back in the 90s, I hooked up a PlayStation to the office projector in the conference room. The image wasn’t great, but playing Teken with 6’ tall characters was freakin awesome!
At the beginning of the video you see phil in the background and just as the video goes on he looks like he just gets more and more bored then hes just gone in the next cut.
Technically, input lag reduction probably doesn't take processing power but to reduce the input lag you have to reduce all the settings that add computational work that does increase input lag
We used to play Halo with 4 splitscreens on a projector with the XBox 360. Linked to another 360 with also for splitscreens on a projector. Pure chaos and fun
Same here it was super fun with Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii.
I remember running Halo on the massive school project. Playing on a movie theater size screen is just a different experience.
nice!
It's got 'Smart TV Apps' but no ethernet jack? Fail.

NORTHBRIDGE FIX VIDEO UPDATE AS PROMISED!!!!!!!
I've only been using projectors since 2005 and now I've been waiting for the next gen of UST projectors that will actually go above 60hz at 4K.
I'm not a competitive-shooter player and prefer the story-rich single player style, but being stuck at 60hz is starting to show it's age.
I don't think I can go back to a non-UST projector, it's so nice and convenient.
There are videos out there covering ones that go above 60hz @ 4K but its kinda false advertisement, as they dont actually have that output; like the LTT Nexigo video.
I think the current limitation is that Texas Instruments (that has the patent for these types of chips) just hasn't released the chips that have 4k over 60hz capability.
I would love to see a video from a techtuber covering this, but it is kind of a niche thing.
TI doesn't take gaming seriously but they should meet the HDMI 2.1 standard.
Projectors have a special niche case for splitscreen and couch coop gaming. it's so much easier to give a good view for 4 people when you're not scrunched up in front of a small screen.
3:05 nick Says "draw me like one of your french girls"
I have been 4k gameing on my benq for years. Its amazing. Its hard sometimes to go from 120” to my 43” pc screen sometimes.
My wife just bought me a cheap projector off Amazon and it’s actually not bad I was playing some older CoD’s and fall guys just to see what it’d be like and it’s not bad. So this was perfect timing because I was wondering if there was a projector for gaming!
check the acer gd711 i got one and its pretty dope
Yeah! Some of these cheap projectors look great on a white wall in a dark room. I think I saw one for $70 thats way too good for its price.
@@BlackJesus8463she spent 99$ on this one. It’s 1080p at 60hz. I figured it would be awful but I’m actually really impressed. Clearly down the road I’d like to go with something that’s higher in quality. But for getting my feet wet this one works perfect!
1500 bucks!?! I don't think so.
UwU rawr
Gaming on projectors is awesome for certain things. There's no better way to play party games.
They should made buttons on the remote to switch the resolution. Think that would have made it nice.
Title brought me to expect a short throw projector. U know, the ones the have a lens near the top of the base for that allows you to place it two ft away. Made so you can't get between the projector and the screen. This is a good review but its not a short throw projector. Would be interesting if you find a true short throw with the dame specs and see if it can hang.
Always liking your two cents either way.
This is the 3T Gaming Comment Pro™. It features all of the nits and very wow fps with so much Dolby Atmos super-sonic silence.
Actually, the benefit of an HD projector is you can make the pixels NOT visible by simply having the focus at 90% to 95 % focus, not at 100% focus. The very slight faint 5% or 10% blurriness hides the sharp pixel edges. But you also have to slightly tweak the color settings when doing that because the tiny blurriness causes the RGB to cross each other causing a very barely noticeable shift of colors and brightness. You just have to slightly change the tint and darken the brightness just a very tiny bit to restore the intended colors and brightness. That is why an out of focus projector image at a theater makes the image look washed out. It's the colors lights crossing each other.
00:22:05 Yeah you are indeed not going to experience Netflix in 4k on a PC but that's because Netflix doesn't support anything above 1080p on almost all browsers, don't even know if there is one that does, the desktop app maybe does but not so sure about that either
Allowing the choice of 4k or 240hz is a good choice. Led Is also great for longevity in not having to change a bulb. However, they've never been able to reach quite the same brightness, and that 2000 lumens might not be enough to give you the best image quality. You'd need a fairly dark room to get the full contrast, but then you also have to take into account hdr. My BenQ has 3000 lumens, and while I bought a spare bulb, I havent had to change it out yet.
It might also be worth it to buy a good screen. Even lesser priced screens have 2 layers of black and white to help reflect and prevent it from bleeding out the back.
I’d do stuff for 120HZ 😂😂😂
Yeah no. Hard pass on $1500
The projexbox
Lol at Nick just chilling on the couch in the background.
I imagine nick in the background asking himself why am i here in the most unimpressed voice
You lost me @ 3:40.
This is an XBOX projector, that can't even handle HDMI 2.1 4K @ 120HZ HDR VRR!!
And you have an X, right there.. 🤷🏼
lol yall would hate me, my projector setup is just a clean white painted wall and my projector is some high end epson from 15 years ago, i put a generic replacement light in it off amazon so it makes a constant buzzing noise like coil whine sound, but i enjoy it lol. its bright enough to watch with the lights on and with a 7.1 surround you cant hear it whining 😂
for gaming higher refresh rate > higher resolution in almost all cases. once you experience it you can't really go back. of course the ideal would be 4K@120hz at minimum
1440p is almost just as good but requires significantly less power. It's more than enough value to wait out the 4K gaming wars.
@proprietarycurez8463 if you have a 1440p display sure. but it is a very significant and noticeable difference between 1440p and 4K
The reason, why the panel resolution on this projector is directly attached to the refreshrate should be the same like my Viewsonic PX748 4k. These projectors do pixel shifting and are only 1080p displays. They are vibrating 0,5 pixels to the left, 0,5 pixels down, 0,5 pixels to the right and 0,5 pixels up. Thats why you can get 1080/240, but only 4k/60, because it has to split up its refreshrate into the 4 different positions of the 1080p chip to get an image with the quality "like" an 4k image.
You simply can't get a 4k projector under 5000€ or 5000$, but i even heard one time that those for 5000 are pixel shifters too, because the true 4k projectors are manufactured for cinemas.... Really confusing, i dont know who to believe :D
Nick just casually chilling back there...love it! lol
I have one, it’s a BenQ though, and to note for those who have never gotten a projector before; yes you do need a matte white screen in a dark room instead of a bright white painted wall; also in a room with light ingest in the nicest ALR screen you can, it blocks out ambient light and such in lit rooms, rooms exposed to sunlight, etc. regardless I’m never ever going back to a tv or monitor. They even have really good budget ones, I started out with a $250 native 1080P one with HDR10, but most of those support 4K decoding and it will let you play 4K content and then downsample them but it’s a much better image than 1080ap, I’d argue that it’s 1440P or at least it only appears that way because the physical image is in fact 1080P, but still it’s hard to tell the difference. Projectors are the future or should be IMO. And not just for gaming, but all the movies and stuff I’ve been watching on my Series X, on a 100 inch screen, my wall is only 110 inches so I went with 100 inches and I mean come on that dwarfs 99% of big screen TVs and if I want I could put it in another room and make it up to 150 inches.
Yeah I bet they cost 💩 Loads 😮😮😢😢
£1400 quid 💷
Not a projector enthusiast either. But, a home theater audio zealot. One thing about gaming consoles and now this projector is what kind of system/equipment they share space with. Xbox should consider how Jeep thought about their Cherokee being parked in garages next to Porsche, Mercedes, etc. They realized people wanted the adventure, but it needed to also fit in with their good taste, so they made the Grand Cherokee. There have been Xbox consoles (especially the silly shaped white 360) that I haven't been crazy about parking with my righteous A/V equipment. So you asked what we thought about this projector and for me, the green strips are abhorrent. For the kids room, fine. But for that alone it would never go into my home theater system. I know it's petty. But it's my place, I can be picky.
@JayzTwoCents A cinema projector can’t be compared to any domestic projector. The blurring you are talking about isn’t a thing. A correctly setup professional projector has the ability to have the convergence corrected. I haven’t been to any cinema in the UK that has been set up correctly. They all look terrible compared to how they can look. At a demo in Barco’s HQ in Belgium their cinema demo theatre absolutely blew me away with how good the image can be when setup correctly.
24:20 yea, you’re never gonna find a 120 inch monitor. Maybe a tv, I’ve seen 110 inch tv’s but those went for over $8,000 😱 not happening. This, in my opinion, is a WAY better and cheaper solution than that.
11:40 Jay being a little unrealistic. ViewSonic could have pretended keystone adjustment did not affect latency. Then customers would be adjusting keystone with the presumption it did not affect performance.
Well that made me realize how far behind I am. I'm pretty sure the last time I went to a theatre, they were still using film projectors.
You dont need an expensive projector. It's old tech and there isnt a high demand because people are afraid of the dark.
Not interested in typical non-laser non-HDR projectors, nor in XBox. Would it kill you to at least hint on what's the topic of the video before I clicked on it? Or was that exactly your intention?
I literally had an HD projector for my OG Xbox.... you know, the Duke controlled Xbox with Halo Combat Evolved lol....sure, it was 720p and/or 1080i....but it was HD, and nobody else had one... and I loved gaming on it in my bedroom at it's smallest "screen" setting, which was 70" 😅
Jay....seriously....you hadn't seen Team America until now?!!!! LOL! My wife and I were serving in Korea when that was released and OMG the laughs that ensued with all of us (US) military folks that were there was PRICELESS. It was way funnier at that time in 2004 since Kim Jong Il was alive at that time. LOL.....anyway.....love your reviews and builds and please keep doing what you are doing.
Ls11000 and ls12000 from epson can do 4k 120hz, laser illumination, hdr and crazy high lumen levels for all colors.
I went from a budget 4k Optoma, to a higher end benq ht5550 and finally landed on the ls12000.
3090ti, series x and ps5 look and play incredible with the ls12000.
It's costly, but I would love a comparison gaming at 4k 120z on a monitor/TV vs an equivalent projector.
I wouldn't spend 1600 dollars on a non serviceable device with a finite lifespan, personally. But that's just me.
Liked for Nick chilling in the background.
See? This is one of those things that pisses me off about console manufacturers. They treat monitor resolutions, such as 1440p as an afterthought. Often releasing the capability months after the new console has released. If not a year. For some reason Microsoft and Sony have in their minds that the average family can just hijack the main large screen TV or projector to play Fortnite for 4 hours a day. I'd like to think that most people game in their rooms--possibly even at their desk, on a 32-in monitor. But no bigger because? Well? It's on their desk. And if you do want to game on something smaller and you're after features such as VRR which were only initially ever launched on TV, in the beginning, then you're forced to buy something no smaller than a 60", because if you want the quality of a high-end gaming monitor in TV format? It needs to be huge! Otherwise? You're buying a 43-in TV with a cheap 8-bit panel, no VRR and HDMI 2.0. This is stupid! And marketing projectors make it worse. Not everybody has the size of bedroom or gaming room that can facilitate a large screen TV, or even a 43-in TV. This room might have worked out equipment in it, a PC and a bookshelf full of books, a sizable litterbox, for those who own a cat etc. yet? Microsoft markets these things as if everybody can just hijack the living room for an entire day every day and that nobody might want to watch something on it as they game. I have a 70-in TV in our living room and I do not use that for gaming because when I game my wife is usually watching TV. And this is further worsened by the fact that at least as of the time that I had last looked? You can't even find a 32-in TV that's 4K. So, needless to say, in order to facilitate both my PC and PS5 VRR setup? I had to buy an OLED 42" TV that thank God Sony was willing to make. But I still had to rig up the capability to game from my chair, with mouse and keyboard from 5ft away...and also ditch my 38" ultra wide, since you'd be talking Huge borders on console. I went through two TV setups, all too big, until Sony released a semi-high end 42" OLED in 2022. The A90K. But the good news is? Even though it is still much too big for my desk, I have found that you can run it in ultra wide custom resolution and it's the same size as my alienware was, in terms of viewspace.
I actually HAD to buy a projector because I couldn't buy a TV in Japan and bring it back home to my country after two years, while a small, relatively cheap projector was portable enough, and kinda cool. I literally DID just use an ironed bedsheet pinned to my wall, and it worked GREAT with my Xbox One X when I used the black-out curtains in my room. I mainly play single-player games, but ancient Greece and Egypt (Assassin's Creed) looked AMAZING projected onto a wall! If I had the space and budget, I would definitely consider a projector for gaming again, so absolutely recommend people with the space and budget to at least try it!♥️👍
I have an older ViewSonic 4k pixel shift with 240 1080p and love it. The colors aren't very accurate but beyond that it's been a great projector for gaming on PC. The bulb is starting to slowly go (after a few years and beyond the rated hours, no complaints there) but replacements are very expensive. I replaced it with an Epson 3200. The colors on the Epson are much better, and brightness is better, but focus is not nearly as good. It's also not really 4k, it's 1080p with side to side pixel shift, but not up and down so it's not as sharp and can't do 240hz. But the replacement bulbs are about $100 dollars which is cool. Overall gaming on projectors is really cool!
I have a 150€ blitzwolf projector for movies in my backyard. It's 1080p and hooked up with the cheapest 5.1 souround system I could find( another 150€)We are having a blast using it with only 300€. You don't have to over spend to have fun and enjoy an almost cinema level movie experience.
I want a projection system because I'm tired of having a big-a$$ TV taking up my only picture wall. 😇
60hz refresh is not ideal for movie viewing. Because 60 does not divide evenly into 24, the frame rate that most films are shot in. 120 does. Not only that, 120 also divides evenly into 30 or 60, the most common frame rates for TV shows. So 120hz maintains the ability to display TV shows at their native frame rate without issues, while also doing the same for 24 fps film. As for gaming 120 is obviously better than 60.
So personally I'd never use that thing in 4K for any purpose. Image quality with projectors is far more dependent on the type of technology used to create the image than it is on resolution. I had a Panasonic 1080P projector at 120 inches, 120hz refresh, and it was fantastic. I've seen more entry level 4K projectors that looked considerably worse.
The other issue is the specs that say 1080P @ 240hz, 1440P @ 120hz, and 4K @ 60hz. That's deceptive because it suggests that this is a 4K projector that accepts other lower resolution inputs. The thing is, if that were the case why do you get lower refresh rates as you move up? A 4K projector capable of 240hz should be able to do that in 4K. The answer is this isn't a 4K projector. The actual panel inside that thing is a 1080P DLP chip. As you go up in resolution, which BTW is achieved through pixel shifting, the processing overhead to do that means it has to drop the refresh rate down. It presents itself to the source device as a 4K resolution, but that's due to a lot of trickery going on and it's limitations in terms of refresh rate and response time are due to that.
I would probably stick to 1440P on that thing, and I'd do some comparisons at 1080P. It may actually look and perform the best at 1080P since that's the actual native resolution.
I had a Benq W1070 that lasted for yrs, i had it at 90" screen size 1080p 60hz very low input lag for what it was & yeah did it's job.(even Linus back in the day made a vid on it) How ever if i ever go again for a projector it'll be a laser short throw so i don't have to worry about bulb changes so often, & mounting the sucker. Just sit it on a desk & set it up from the desk. I use a Hisense 58 inch Tv now. it does the job for me. Those willing to use a projector image quality & resolution & Input lag times are the only concern ill have for those gaming & watching movies & youtube or even act as a Pc Screen, they do work rather well.
On the same note, I decided to pair my Bravia XR A80K, with the Sony HT-S2000 because it had integrated services on the home bar. The option to change things should be integrated with automation. The need for an integration is needed to support the x-box ecosystem and that is always a challenge across platforms or product lines.
I tried the LG Samsung soundbars and the integration wasn’t there.
Is there similar cross platform issues with Gpu AMD, and Intel? That’s something I have been looking at when I build a new system?
you should tell people that real review starts at 14 mins. Before that are just you trying to figure out how projector is setup.
It's interesting, but I am not an console gamer, not anymore. I have been a PC Master Race kind of guy for a long time. I still have my old Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Game Boy (games), Game boy advance, sega game gear, etc.... Shortly after that family, money, etc.... So I went into computers where I do everything else. Led to one of my careers, but I digress. I like the idea of the projector for watching movies in the house, or for giving presentations elsewhere. Not sure I have enough room and/or wallspace to do one in my Office/Gaming room. Still a good bit of money. Looked interesting though.
Jay, I've noticed that your drive and enthusiasm for the content you produce have decreased in the past few episodes that I've watched. As consumers, we've become disenchanted with the latest technology releases, which are less ambitious, more expensive, and, in some cases, unable to be purchased. Your latest video seems to reflect this trend. Once, you were a bright-eyed, excited "big kid" who would ramble about the joys of the tech in front of you. But now, I can hear the disdain in your pauses as you rethink how to frame your next statement. You didn't have to say that you're not into projectors; I could tell from your performance that you weren't a fan. Your highlight of the product was CEC control, a technology that has been around since HDMI 1.0 and is now of legal drinking age. Additionally, you walked right into the talking point of HDMI 2.2 without explaining what it is, which goes against your usual standard of accuracy and calling out marketing BS in your reviews. I know my opinion may be unpopular, but I say this as someone who truly loves your channel. The best content you produce comes from within when you and your team are genuinely excited about what you're working on. I particularly enjoy the random, playful things your team comes up with like Nick channeling every cat ever caught on camera. When you produce content that you love, the likes, subscribers, and viewer interaction come naturally. I hope you and your loved ones are doing well and I look forward to seeing what brings you joy in the New Year. Thank you for all of your hard work over the years and into the future.
Sincerely,
Cody-Juan Shinobi
$1699 for a projector is a bit expensive for me, and you also need to spend hours to get this set up right, I think I'll be happy with a PC monitor. If you have to change your overall resolution settings to change the in-game resolution, I think that's a bit annoying, but I think that's also because of the price range. You can get a console for about $500 and a decent PC is about $3000, that's why you have better settings in a PC, that also goes for the graphics settings. Everything is about money, how more money you spend, the better the service is, that's just how this world works.
I would love having a projector for gaming. But it’s just too expensive imo. Too many tradeoffs.
1600 freaking dollars? lol for an Xbox of all things branded projector? Nah. Just no way.
The whole settings thing seems very weird to me...
The menu also said the settings would "Reset to Default"... Not that they would be dissabled...
Are you sure you can't change them again afterwards?
Seems like a stupid question... but it's either an unfortunate oversight... or... the worst projector-design in existence...
I have this projector and on ps5 1440p 120 doesnt work , thats why its called design for xbox the feature is exclusive to xbox , another thing the 1440p 120 is a lie, the projector down sample the image to 1080p internally
I use my 100" short through 4k tri-laser projector for my switch, it somehow still looks glorious playing Tears of the Kingdom..(though I tend to use a 48" OLED mostly and leave the project for the missus to watch tv).
anyone know what game nick was playing from 8:00 ? from the UI it looks like forza horizon, but with the snow when he first starts playing it makes me think it's not FH5 as there's no snow there
an Xbox projector should support VRR/Freesync, like the Xbox.
This is also HDMI's fault for not officially supporting VRR in 2.0. If the display supports only 4k60, literally every company will do the bare minimum and slap on HDMI 2.0.
Watching this projector on my projector makes the corners SO BLURRY 😅 Picked up one of those $99 Amazon specials just for watching RUclips on the ceiling over my bed to settle in at night 😅
