Found out I have around $1500 lying around and want to buy a projector to watch media and play vydia and code from the couch.
Is picrel the best I could get?
Why are all the projectors still on Mini-USB instead of Type C?
Is power consumptio as abysmal as I was led to believe?

Bump.
Also, what about those laser ones?
Are they truly superior or basically a gimmick?
Just get a vr hmd which has little to no sde, odyssey+ or valve index etc.
The future is now, well rather September old man
While I think that HMDs are the future and want to write a proper WM/DE for one it the future, all I have to drive it is a shitty 4th generation Thinkpad X1 Carbon.
I'm afraid that it would be a miserable experience.
Everybody just uses their TVs?
I don't think anyone outside Germany calls them "beamers".
No idea. you can get a 65 inch TV for less than these $1500 projector with 1000x better quality.
you could also play some D&D with it

Amazing!
Yeah, I think I'll wait for the Index and see then.
Maybe would even have money for the new PC when it's out.
I am looking for a projector that can play my music over hdmi without starting the lamp. Does this exist?
I just want to have an device to watch movies or listen to music from my kodi box
Give me some of that money
Look up projectors from AliExpress and save yourself a grand. I decided I didn't need one but that's how I found way cheeper projectors.
They are superior, but real ones cost an arm and a leg.
tfw you just bought two 75” TVs for $869 each
TVs are inconvenient.
You can place projector next to the laptop without a need for a fucklong cable.
Exactly. These new large screen TVs are extremely cheap today.
Projectors can't do HDR
>Projectors can't do HDR
But OP literally says 'HDR' in it's description.
"""""HDR"""""
Get a TV, even chink shit uses QLED
TCL is turning into a valuable brand that competes with Samsung on quality of their products and the innovation.
>Get a TV
>Requires mounting (need to ask for permission to drill holes)
>Takes space
>Needs a fucklong HDMI cable
Thank you, but no.
>Requires mounting
No it doesn't
>need to ask for permission to drill holes
Imagine being a rent cuck
Just stream with Plex to the TV they all have wireless AC now
>No it doesn't
Does it magically support itself on the wall?
I don't think so.
>Plex
Still less convenient and only good for movies/series.
There's these wonderful things called TV stands
>Still less convenient and only good for movies/series.
You know these TVs also support casting?
>There's these wonderful things called TV stands
>Non-adjustable height/tilt
Sure, super convenient.
>You know these TVs also support casting?
Are you trying to say that casting is as convenient as plugging a cable in?
>Non-adjustable height/tilt
It's a TV, not a monitor you're supposed to set and forget
>Are you trying to say that casting is as convenient as plugging a cable in?
It's more convenient
t. used to run an HDMI cable to a dumb TV
>code from the couch
>It's a TV, not a monitor you're supposed to set and forget
Yet you can't set it properly due to fixed height and so on. That's why I was going on about drilling the walls.
>It's more convenient
Elaborate.
Cable means all the standard modes (second screen, main screen, cloning and so on) with a single button click and is independent of anything.
How is casting better in any way?
Why do you have a problem with that?
>search what video you want
>push cast button
You shouldn't be using a TV or projector as a PC monitor
Text rendering, sipshit
>search what video you want
>push cast button
Once again, how is this more convenient?
>You shouldn't be using a TV or projector as a PC monitor
Why not?
What with it?
4k of the projector should be good enough for text, taking distance and size into account.
Resolution doesn't matter, text doesn't render well on projectors and TVs set up for video
Yeah, it was pretty cool when all I had was a 30 inch TV in my room but I had to buy blackout curtains, now I got a cheap 65 inch 4k walmart TV for $430 and I haven't used my projector since
>text doesn't render well on projectors and TVs set up for video
Why? They still have pixels.
>I had to buy blackout curtains
What was the brightness of your projector?
Also, in Germany every house has external blackout curtains.
You sound like a retarded grade schooler
You are retarded. You realize that?

Great argument.
I see the error of my ways now.
If I want to watch stuff in bed on mg ceiling without to having to sleep in a tard helmet I'd need the projector
No it doesn't.
>No it doesn't
Yes it does.
I'm still waiting to eye-projectors like what Google Glass tried to do.
