BiG Screen TVs

[namix]

Any TV savants out there?

Looking to get a TV, primarily for movies - but a bit of gaming.
- obv 1080p / hd / quick refresh, the standard stuff
- i'd say no smaller than 65, it's a good space to fill
- budget, $1-1.5k


suggestions?

[Diode]

get a projector.

[BROKE LESNAR]

A Blu-Ray projector is dope.

My next flat screen investment will be the new warped ones. They look sexy as all get out.

[namix]

Nice - any brands for the projector suggested?

[~RustyGunZ~]

projectors aren't that great

get like a last year model samsung

or the newer sonys if they're out yet are dope

the curve tv is fucking stupid don't waste 3k on it, it's not better

[Mike Wrecka]

LCD > projector


I don't care what anyone says a projector does not deliver as sharp a picture

[Witty]

Does all of this matter?

Just get a big ass screen and watch stuff on it...any of them, doesn't matter.

Close your eyes and pick one.

Has the extra color like the other sharp quattrons and also puts out retina quality (says 4k but isn't.. still 2x as sharp as 1080 though)

edit: thought you said less than 65 not more

Dope, yea that's exactly what i been looking at now...

Good looks --- thanks for the input ya'll.

[jilti]

Wait a couple weeks til black Friday then get whatever t.v. costs $1.5k

[Diode]

i can't with this thread

long debunked quattron nonsense

conflating technology (lcd) with delivery mechanism (projector lens vs panel type)

referencing apple's patented PPI on their smartphones / tablets as a "type of quality" (retina)

not understanding what sharpness is and deciding their exposure to a bargain basement "1080p projector" brand projector means fidelity is impossible to achieve outside of a traditional lcd panel

fuck it. listen to people who shop at best buy.

Lol

projectors are only good for theatre rooms

which I get it, you have one

it's the better deal and quality

not everyone wants to just watch shitin a dark room though

high lumen output projectors and high gain screens totally aren't a thing, you're right, there's a reason why there aren't millions of projectors in use in common living rooms throughout the world

(except that they are)

namix if you really care to learn about what you're going to spend thousands of dollars on, please go to avsforum and do some reading.

eh

haven't seen one in use tbh

we had a projector in a theater room in my parents house growing up

I used it like 5% of thetime I viewed TV

just not my thing. newer ones might be dope in a lit room I guess

word man, im looking to spend a grand and a half though - looking at the high quality projectors, they are more than im looking to drop for our basement

an epson 8350 would serve you fine.

another issue I canthink of, just wondering what your experience is

namix has kids

kinect/wii and shit are very popular with kids

how does that shit work with like getting in front of the projector? I assume you can't have it to close to the wall (maybe you can now) but if it's back and kids are running around doing crazy wii and kinect shit (next thing is, can the sensor be at the wall without a lot of cords) won't they get in the way and make it so there's shadows in the picture?

[Mike Wrecka]

Another downside to projectors is the need for a separate audio system. Obv no speakers come with it so u need to make a second purchase for sound. Which could get pricey in itself

always what you should do anyways tbh

those little speakers suck dick and blow out quickly

[Certain]

It's nice having kind of shitty vision but not shitty enough to need glasses. I bought the cheapest 60-inch HDTV on the market, and I never notice any granule error or distortion. I also don't play video games, though.

[Mike Wrecka]

I've heard that a million times knuckle and I disagree. My TVs speakers work just fine for me. I don't need to watch tv with a sub woofer providing bass. Or surround sound.


People waste a fuck load of money on that shit. I don't need an IMAX experience in my living room. Now a theater room or man cave yes but otherwise it's a waste

LSD > LCD

Yes.

most projectors are ceiling hung. not an issue.

mine is behind a wall with a cutout. it is definitely taller than most people.

word

we had ours in the middle of the wall. shit was from like 2001 though.

my dad's 6'8 so if he walked around the room he covered half the picture

AYO

Lmfao

Diode tok much for me to not lol sometimes.

First 5 words talm bout .. THE CONVULATING SPECTOMETER WAS LONG DEBUNKED WOTH A RANDOMINQL PARCIFERITH

Lol.

Diode legit is Rawn....if Rawn actually told the truth amd knew about the shit he talked about.

Repped.

[Ghost1]

Must spread :/

[Certain]

Diode needs to go to medical school to become full-on Bizarro Rawn.

[Fart]

Samsung
LG
then the rest

65 inch LG smart TV would probably run 1500. web browser and all the apps you need. multiple hdmi, USB ports for those downloaded movies, smart refresh, 'magic remote' with voice control, all the goods. Love my 47" LG

Good projectors are crazy expensive and not nearly as functional as a television

those things are just silly.

you advised someone to waste hundreds on a smart tv, a closed garden environment with no control outside of what the vendor gives you until their next batch is released and you are left with unsupported garbage.

you advised that in the era of chromecast, roku, firetv, etc.

nobody should buy anything but a basic tv with high pq if they aren't going the projector route. smart tvs are anything but.

[Fart]

Yeah except it's not. You're thinking of the current 4k and/or 3Dtelevisions.

And Chromecast is anything but reliable.

Regardless, projectors are at least three times the cost and don't do anything really at all.

you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. 4K and/or 3D has nothing to do with a canned, locked-in app suite that is severely underpowered and can only be updated by vendor firmware.

you also are clueless about anything related to a projector. a projector does the same thing a tv does. it displays a picture.

if you want to get into things like contrast ratio etc. then we can discuss. otherwise you are just... dumb.

lol @ chromecast being anything but reliable. how much easier can it possibly be? hdmi in. usb and/or ac in/ wifi on. same way a smart tv's shitty app system works but with the ability to customize and adapt, plus the bonus of mirroring any screen.

need more horsepower? roku, wd, firetv, etc. etc. etc.

fucking raspberry pi box

jesus.

[namix]

we have 9ft ceilings in the basement, and i already got a receiver with surround wired -- so im cool with the projector obstacles there

i still think a nice flat screen is probably the move for us at this point though
