@Paul Vail for pointing it out.
Excellent advice, thank you!
What do you think about the Devanti Mini Video Projector Wifi USB HDMI Portable 2000 Lumens HD 1080P?
STFU ABOUT AMBIENT LIGHT UNLESS IT COMES FROM THE PROJECTOR. EVER HEARD OF CURTAINS?
You didnt miss any mistake I made. I live alone too
10:32 priority: Brightness (ANSI !) > Contrast (ratio) > Resolution (1080p)
10:43 resolution 720p: max. $100 !
I dont know if you have done a streaming box comparison yet, but the Chromecast with Google TV is the best that I have used and the worst is the Roku and Skystream, I like the larger selection of apps on the Chromecast and the UI is very clean and simple to use, I like that you can turn off the suggested content and just have the apps, I dont have to waste time scrolling through apps since they are all easily visible.
This is why I love YouTube nowadays. A perfect video for a random guy struggling in projector land. Though I had to watch it at 0.75 speed and with intermittent pausing for my brain to keep up! thanks a lot
Please make a review for projectors under $1000 but more than $200 please
I’m still baffled haha! I’ve got the Awol 2500 and don’t know whether I need an ALR or just a regular screen like the Elite sable 2. My projector is in a dedicated cinema room that is pitch black. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
one tip for people, if you have a screen that can be projected on either side so that you can project from front or back, if you are projecting from front, put a black sheet that isnt heavy on the backside of the screen and it will help out. i bought a screen that can be projected from either side and when i added a black sheet behind it, it made it way better and i can actually turn lights on and still see the picture.
How do you think about Optoma UHZ50 price $1999. Is it worth it? Thank you so much
Would you recomend Xgimi horizon or is there anything better available for this price?
Its clear that you are bias toward a specific vendor.
I used to knock cheap projectors until I bought one on Amazon for just under $300 and I’m completely satisfied with it. I project onto a double layer white screen with a black blackout cloth behind it. It’s reminiscent of an OLED TV now lol
What's the best UST for ps5 gaming?
They still can’t make a projector that you can just play on any wall or flat area where you can get a good clear and bright picture technology is still way behind
Very informative and well guiding
Absolutely a great video. Thank you so much. You are a pro at speaking, research knowledge and presentation 👍👌
Great info! What’s the best setting to make any home projector to shown like commercial cinemas , I mean smooth and fluid motions?I am trying to get that ..I have a Benq ht 3550, clean n crisp images but most times uneven images like the movies filmed on a boat at high seas 🙂
Do you have any recommendations for portable projector screens that have less than 1.0 gain? Looking to take it on a plane.. All the ones I find online are 1.1 that can fit into a bag. I bought one and it’s okay, but like you said, it does add too much brightness in my opinion at the expense of contrast.
Avoid bulbs. I will never trust even the most respected brands. Epson mentions that my 3800 will last 3k hours in medium power. Only thing they didn't tell you is image will look like crap starting around 1700 hours. Get laser !!!
Hello, excuseme, which projector do you recommend (Dlp technology) of about 3600 ansi lumens between 500 and 650 usd? thanks in advance for your support and excellents videos
I'm stuck between "Anker Nebula Capsul 2" 200 anl and "Viewsonic M1 pro" 300 anl. Which one would you get?
Excellent video
Hello! I have an HP CC200 projector but needing a remote replacement. Does anyone know where I can get one? HP customer service is not able to help. It’s sad to have a $300+ projector that works perfectly but cannot use cause I don’t have a remote 😢
Absolutely great information about the projector itself. I am a photographer, and I use projected images on a 180 ft² projection screen.
I read somewhere that…as long as screen size is less than 100 inch…1080p looks same as 4k from 6ft away…is that true?
