PROJECTORS ARE SHIT FOR CASUAL VIEWING

YOU GOTTA BLACK OUT THE ROOM OR THE CONTRAST GOES TO HELL

JUST GET A GIANT SCREEN TV SO YOU DONT HAVE TO LIVE IN A CAVE TO WATCH SOMETHING

My parents have a projector in their basement in a room with no windows, we use it for movies and sports they also have a tv upstairs that they use most of the time. I agree that its a bad idea if you don't have this ideal set up and just use it in your apartment, but relax

>or in their living room or bedroom? How do yo

I think the assumption would be a person has a television they use for normal viewing, and the projector is there for special occasions.

I use the ones at work to game on sometimes which is fun. Home projectors that are quiet and have a good picture are pretty expensive. Those $300 ones are gonna suck for watching movies, unless you just have a really big room and you want the novelty or something.

I used to have a crappy projector in my room and I would say the novelty is worth it. There's just something about it.

In the living room, I probably use the projector more than them

Holy shit, a thread I'm genuinely interested in. I rock a BenQ HT1075 and a Silver Ticket 120" screen (in addition to a 7.1 speaker setup but that's another story) with some home-made blackout curtains that the missus made, and it's a thing of beauty. Provided you're able to get the room dark enough, pair it with some good audio and get a quality projector (as others have pointed out, most anything below $600-700 isn't going to be anything to write home about unless buying used), I'd say it has the potential to completely change the way you look at movies and TV (because yes, they're still excellent for watching TV), haven't regretted buying it for a second.

OLED with motion processing set to off is the only way to view kino at home.

OLED = Pure emissive light
LED = LCD shutter with LED backlight
LCD = Gameboy color shit

Prove me wrong.

>what is DLP
Of course, the tech used in IMAX with laser has it topped but nobody's implementing that at home yet. This is assuming that your eyes aren't suspect to the rainbow effect though, in which case OLED is damn solid, but you can't get those dope screen projection-level screen sizes with that.

my roommate had a low-mid range projector and it was really fun to watch movies with a group of friends. only 1280x800 and i think it was a business projector (not home theatre) but it was still great. didn't even have a screen, just used the wall.

All I see is RGB edge flickering when watching a small DLP projector.

My eyes are too kino.

It was great. Really made it enjoyable to watch movies. Eventually the bulb started burning out and it lost a lot of its brightness. Id say it was worth it though.

EVEN A 4K PROJECTOR IN A 2 STORY HIGH DEDICATED THEATER ROOM IS A GLIB FACSIMILE OF THE REAL THING

ONLY A PLEB WOULD EVEN BOTHER

Had one in highschool bedroom. Dad got it from a neighbor who was moving, quite a nice model, for the time. Bought some blackout curtains to darken my room and a white bristol board to pick up the image. I think the comfiness of sitting on my bed watching movies on a 60" screen is part of the reason I got into film. TY based neighbor.
