The marketing picture doesn't make much sense. Stretching it to 150 inch and still a bunch of sunlight through the windows. Not going to happen.

Looks a lot like CES Fluff with that much sunlight in the picture. If it were that good, they wouldnt have to photoshop the TV image into it.

AFAIK nobody has figured out how to project darkness, so the darkest parts of the image should be the same brightness as the wall.

Actually there’s fancy projector screens that have microscopic angles on them so light coming from direct or above won’t hit it, for short throw protectors that sit right under the screen

That's a neat idea, but ambient light hits from all directions--these sceens would still look grey-ish, not black like tv screens right?

It wont be as good as a normal tv but if you want a large screen you can make a really good set up now for much less money than a huge oled tv

I can see mine just fine with the windows open, on a bright summer day in the Desert.

Of course it will work in the sunlight. Projectors can make all different colours. What do you think Black lights are for? /s

I use black lights in my room to cut down on the sunlight. Usually just a single 1000W black light is good enough for a typical summer day’s direct sun. Though there are sometimes a few light patches where the black light doesn’t quite reach.

I got a Spinal Tap “None More Black” model, and the solar farm twenty miles away pays me four hundred thirty-seven dollars a week to not turn the black light on during daylight hours. Yes, it goes to 11.

So we can finally have daytime drive-in movies? Nice!

TV's catch glare as well. My projector works fine in the day.

As much as I'd love a giant 8k screen, I haven't seen a projector yet that can work well in anything brighter than a basement. Sticking to my oled.

pay a premium for an 8k short throw to watch the handful or content that is actually in 8k.....

Ultra Short Throw projectors with Ambient Light Reducing screen are out of this world. Even in day light you can get a good quality picture and in moderate dark to night its like a huge OLED screen on your wall.

Best decision I ever made switcing.

I’ve have been looking at the Formovie UST. What did you choose for your setup?

PetethePanda1 t1_j3x8mdx wrote

I took a chance with the VAVA lt002. They have a bunch on EBAY for 1200-1500 and its the same once being sold new on their site for 2700. It is fantastic and the 4k is great.

I would love to see some of the 3x laser ones but its hard imagine how much better it can be. The BIG negative on the VAVA is the software. Its hot garbage. You need a streaming device to use with it. I also went with a open box vava ALR screen on amazon and it was a good price and nice quality

Thanks for the advice. Do you use a chrome cast or something like that?

Naw. As someone who owns a JVC projector (NX5) and a high quality screen, and as someone who has an OLED for their monitor (C2) and in the bedroom, it's not even close. It's good, but you are trading size for quality.

PetethePanda1 t1_j3xoyfm wrote

I owned a OLED before I switched. Its fantastic. You are also comparing a tradtitional projector and screen with a UST projector and ALR screen. very different combos.

The UST projectors are fantastic.

ben1481 t1_j3xrpki wrote

My screen is ALR, it cost nearly $2500. The projector is still one of the best in contrast on the market under $10,000. I have a pitch black movie room.

The quality is great, it's still not close to OLED.

I've never seen one of these in person, but I always feel that it would never be bright enough in a sunlit room.

TVs are getting so big that you’d have to set them up in your garage or out side because you’d be craning your neck like your at a movie theater sitting too close

Great breakthrough it seems from looking at the picture. Samsung has figured out how to project darkness onto wall that's in full light.

150 inches is way too small for 8K to make a difference from any reasonable viewing distance. It’s basically the equivalent of 70mm film.

I’m guessing you can go up to 8k and maybe downscaling might be an option. Plenty of stuff now in 4K.

Lol nope. It mostly upscale from 2k!

It'd help big time with aliasing in games
