Hi Paul, I am assuming you are using a motorised floor standing ALR screen there.. I am also interested in getting one for my setup, could you give detail/link on which you are using there please? or review on similar please? long time fan, subscribed and enjoy lots of your video's! Keep up the british end!😝
I’ll keep my C2….I enjoy OLED and HDR too much. And if I was buying something, it would be a QD-OLED, not a projector. I got nothing against projectors, but they don’t have the same PQ as a self emissive display. Bigger isn’t always better in my eyes either. I get its more “immersive”, but there’s issues that arise when blowing something up so large. My eyes go to every imperfection much faster on large displays. I personally like a higher ppi. I’m all about clarity, and not seeing artifacts. I bet you had sharpness and/or AI enabled on the TV too…also, you didn’t explain if it was displaying a native signal, being upscaled, etc. Apples to apples comparisons and transparency is important when claiming something is “so much better”.
bigger, or bigger "for the price" is the only reason to get anything other than an OLED, but it's a damn good reason. I always try to convince people to get an OLED if they can afford it, but if they mention that they want a bigger screen for the same price, (or less in a lot of situations) then I'll stop trying to convince them. As far as "big screens go" there's already somewhat affordable 98" televisions out there, which is wild (4k for an LCD... about 5x more for the OLED counterpart) For projectors, these UST laser ones seems to be the way to go if you want a really large screen. But if you want contrast that gets meaningfully close to an OLED, there's only one game in town: LCoS from JVC.
Funny that you mention corporate greed. The manufacturer very visibly advertises 4K@120Hz input *for smooth gaming experience* but fails to mention that the picture shown is half of that. That's pretty scammy imo. If they mislead you this much right at the start, what else could be going on? Kudos for mentioning the refresh rate at all but to me this still feels like you addressed it just enough to avoid a shitstorm later. Makes me question your integrity.
@@paulhibbert like I said, kudos for mentioning it at all. I'm just saying that if the company is willing to mislead customers by this much with this one easily verifiable detail, I wouldn't blindly trust any of their other claims either. I'd at least like to think that if I were in the position to potentially influence thousands of purchase decisions, I'd make that absolutely clear.
Correct me if I'm wrong though Paul .. but don't you still have that 3 grand fancy light rejecting projector screen ?? If you were going to compare anything with your TV , couldn't you have just used your old projector screen to make it more applicable for the rest of us ? The majority of us won't have a fancy screen like you do seeing as you had it free. Right now your comparing a 2 grand projector paired with a 3 grand screen against a 1000-1500 TV
Don't purchase this pos It can't be cast to. Nexigo recommends you buy a fire stick. Yes the pos projector can't be cast to so you need to use a device with its own limitations and lag. With a fire stick I can't get past 1080p So I try to log in directly to the apps on the projector the remote does not work inside apps? Unless you use an external device you can't watch apps Has the world's worst remote and they recommend you connect the remote via Bluetooth which you can't do. And when I contact nexigo they copy and paste replys and give excuses. A 4000 dollar projector that is missing the features of a 200 dollar TV Also you need to update via USB and then factory reset the console A holes like these guys are settling projectors back and ripping people off And the reviewers seem to get some kind of setup device that works and not what the retail customers are getting
I was thinking of getting a new projector at some point as I have had a 1080P one for over 10 years but as I live on my own I'm now thinking of going for a pair of smart glasses when they are perfected
Yep thinking the same thing. £2999 on amazon. If this was £1400 i'd buy it instantly. Looking for a projector in that price range. Probably going to go with the Viewsonic LX700-4k which looks very similar in tests I've seen for £1199.
Hey Paul huge fan but a minor bit of constructive feedback. In many of your vids I’ve to click the link to find the price rather than you covering it in video. It’s a key thing to help folks decide if it’s for them so be great if you could please include even as an overlay in your vids. You mention the screen price here but not the projector. Thanks so much mate and keep up the super work!
Thanks mate! The reason I leave it out is because the videos are produced 2 weeks in advance and I was finding I was finishing a video and then 2 weeks later having to go in and change the price as it had been updated… and then having to re-export the video, reupload it and then having to fill out all the info on TH-cam again. It was frustrating finishing work for the week and then having to go back in and do another hours work just because the price had gone up or down. I do sometimes discuss it if it’s horrendously overpriced or bizarrely underpriced but otherwise I don’t risk it
@@paulhibbert thanks for the reply and totally makes sense! No harm though in saying price is “at time of recording”? Not realistic to expect you to constantly keep on top of price changes! Already looking forward to the next one, thanks mate.
The 120Hz in / 60 Hz out is just part of the 3D. Since 3D is technically two streams being inputted simultaneously at 60 Hz a piece and then overlayed... it pretty much equals 60 Hz (left) + 60 Hz (right) / 60 Hz (combined).
Projectors do need a dark room. ALR screens help, but they are not a panacea, not even close. Bigger is NOT always better, picture quality is more important then a ultra large screen.
Projectors have a special quality that was lost when we moved away from CRTs, As in both cases they're projecting light onto an object, there is natural light scattering that has an anti-aliasing effect (Which you identified at 7:30) Its why a lot of retro gamers still use CRTs, because the games look strange on modern TVs/Monitors because they were made with that effect in mind. Alongside the lack of the black void, varying image sizes for content, TV quality picture, and that natural anti-aliasing effect; I can see a lot of people choosing projectors over TVs as the Ultra-short throw technology matures and continues to drop in price, further into the competitive price space for TVs. I personally will be buying one once they start entering my price range for this quality.
That's not why people use CRTs for retro games. The unique quality about crt is that it can switch resolutions. Crt projectors like the Sony G90 can display anything from 240p to 1080p without scaling. All flat-screen displays and current projectors have fixed resolutions. Upscaling old 240p games to fit 1080p or 4k screens creates ugly jaggies, loss of detail and lag. There is no anti aliasing effect on CRTs. Just poor quality scaling on LCDs, plasma, Oled and loose. Those jagged edges are not extra clarity. They are scaling artifacts.
@@Zebra66 "Those jagged edges are not extra clarity. They are scaling artifacts." Thank you for explaining what aliasing is... "It's not an anti-aliasing effect" in the sense that aliasing has never existed on CRTs due to the way they work; but when compared to non-CRTs that do have aliasing, it's an anti-aliasing effect.
Paul, didn't you do a video on the screen that goes up and down that's 100 inches? I can't find it and wanted to get more information about it. As I really like that it goes down down and doesn't stay on a wall. Thank you for always making me laugh!!
Yeah he did. Try searching his name and ALR... And if it wasnt him search for the hookup alr... 1 or both reviewed ALR screens. If both, watch both - worth your time.
Wow. The specs on the Aurora Pro 4K are awesome but, as you say, I like the real-case examples as well.| Also, good call on the screen reflections on a TV being more obtrusive than bright wash. In addition to home entertainment use, I can see using something like this in a conference or class room where you don't want to devote a whole section of the room to A/V all the time. The size of the screen makes it reasonable to use in a space where even a large TV would just look puny. Great review as usual. I appreciate the detail you go into when talking about the pros and cons as well as the honesty when you talk about things that may be a matter of taste or opinion.
Looking at their other products, I suspect this is just a rebadged or reboxed product from a different company. The connection layout and specs look very similar to the Xgimi Aura.
That's a good thought, but I don't think it's a re-branding of the Xgimi Aura: The Xgimi Aura has 1800 lumens, while the Nexigo Aurora has 2400 lumens. Also, the Xgimi Aura uses the (annoying) Android operating system, where for licensing reasons Netflix is not available or only externally available, whereas with Nexigo the Netflix tile is already present in the OS.
@@netcoin Nexigo also only has Android OS (which requires an airmouse as shown in the video), not Android TV thus it would also not put out HDR10 on Netflix.
The light hitting the screen thing is mainly to do with the projector screen you use. There's different materials that reflect the light differently. I recently watched a video of a guy comparing them all. The best ones will cost a few grand especially for the ones which raise up like the one you have... ahhhh... look, as I type you get onto this lol
Pretty much every single DLP projector cannot do 4k/120hz. It's a limitation of the chip. Only 3 chip projectors can do that. And so far that's just Epson and JVC.
When I was a kid, my parents thought a transformer was that thing that plugs into the wall to charge things....... On a serious note though, this projector looks rather interesting. Look forward to seeing it (maybe) become available in Australia...... Rainbow effect usually only effects DLP projectors as far as I recall. I notice it on DLP projectors, but not on other technologies. Guess your mileage may vary.
You are correct regarding the "rainbow effect" on DLP. It occurs because a DLP projector throws up a red image, then a green image, then a blue image, then repeats. This is because a typical DLP projector is monochromatic, and to get color they use a color wheel for each of the colors. This time shifted RGB is why you moving can cause the color issues. (Try watching through a fan sometime.)
You’d think they would have solved this by now. I think some TVs have anti-glare, but I imagine it’s a tech specific thing, like a requirement for some reason 🤷🏻♂️
buyed a for movie and fresnel wall and you're right.. black levels are totally missing even in the dark. I would not buy one again. Better live with an 85" QLED. OLED is not so nice because its more mirroring then the QLED/LCD Displays are... Hopefully the future upcoming microLED TVs are cheaper and with less energy consumption. They are matte and big with extrem contrast.
Very nice video but i would like to know, are you being paid either in money, products or any other way to review this projector. I have no problem if you are, kudos to you if you can do this but it would be nice for the viewers to know so that we can decide whether your or anyone else's reviews on any product could be potentially down to recieving a payment. It would be nice if all youtube reviewer's had to make this clear at the beginning of the video. Surely if you ae being paid you are going to look at any product in a different way to a non paid review. Please note this is not meant to be a personal dig at you or anyone else. Just in case any Tesla ceo is looking at this comment I would absolutely love to produce a non biased review the model 3, Y, S, X. You can even send me a script with all the features you want me to salivate over. I won't tell anyone this part, honest.
Disclosure is at 1:16 buddy. I also ticked the button when uploading so that TH-cam would also tell you that it is a sponsored video. Hasn’t affected my opinion though, this projector is insane value for money
@@paulhibbert yes I agree it looks awesome. did not notice you said it was sponsored at 1:16 and did not notice any ticked button but no matter. it just always makes me wonder how many sponsored and ticked videos get rave reviews. if you really thought it was a SH1T product would you have actually said bearing in mind that you could have lost that sponsor and potential earnings. I do not know you personally and only you know for sure. You are not the first I have made this type of comment on and you probably will not be the last. The manufacturers of this projector are making these to sale and make money and an honest unbiased review may not be benifical to them or you. To be honest if you had bought the projector with your own money and gave the review I would have been more impressed. In a sense you are working for that company, I don't think you will find many people slag off the company they work for on youtube for all to see. Just my opinion of course and other people will have their own views which they are entitled to.
dunno Paul, just seems the same as all of your other projector videos. every one is the newest best thing. but is it? how about doing a 2023 round up? not only on projectors. how about smart bulbs , switches, sensors . cameras? all the products you review seem to be great... but which is the best?
Who have the patience to wait till spring/summer of next year. 2024 is going to be an busy sport year for sure, with the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, and UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany. Thanks to those games, it's going to be a year of discounts on TV's and UST projectors in Europe.
You used to work at a call center?? Boys we found him! Get out the pitchforks and the Torches bye dear God we found the call center guy! Admission of guilt prepare the hunt. Sorry bad joke kind of a running gag about foreign call center tech support probably wouldn't get it where you're from Britain but if you were in Canada or the US you would most certainly get it;) and having a British voice and saying you work for a call center boy would you get it ololol . So yeah not a good idea to say you worked at a call center if you're outside of Britain and sound like you're a British just a little Pro tip there ;). Story so I could tell you about my job interview for a call center that was straight out of some sort of bad Urban myth kind of humor felt more like you were being inducted into a cult or job screening to be an employee at a top secret government organization that hunts Cryptids. Still can't believe you were rocking the Lex Luthor as far back as age 19 now I don't feel so bad that I'm 45 years old and my hair seems to be falling out the last couple years like a wookie that's been exposed to radiation. I figured by the time I'm 50 I'm going to look like Homer Simpson but at least I had a few good years;). ps Speakers facing backwards on a flat screen television is a stunt they've been doing for a long time my flat screen that finally quit on me was one of the last ones that had front facing speakers. It's a stunt they've been pulling so that you buy an aftermarket sound system or nowadays people buy a Bluetooth Soundbar. Problem I ran into with Bluetooth is compatibility there's like nine effing frequencies of Bluetooth nowadays I keep getting Bluetooth speakers and they're not the right compatibility to connect with one device or the other one device is running Bluetooth 5 something this and that another device requires Bluetooth 75 something and so on total bloody nightmare just have one frequency of Bluetooth and get it over with
6:20 technically you can have a 150" tv samsung made "the wall" but practically no one has enough money for this, especially that it would draw an absurd amount of power and you'll need a separate cooling system just for this room for you not to boil in there after an hour.
I really want to know how much the brightness will decrease when this projector projects at 100 inches and 120 inches because I bought a 120-inch ALR screen from Vivid Storm.
240 silver pennies weighed roughly one pound. Penny for a pound. And other historical terms that changed. Just like in the best colonies, sorry Canada, one deer skin was equal to one dollar. Or a buck for a buck. English is a quirky growing language.
THANK YOU SO MUCH @paulhibbert for bringing up an issue that Flat Panel TV reviewers skip ALL THE TIME. TV Glare is horrendous no matter how "deep dark" those blacks are on a television. It makes the image quality WORSE because it invites MORE GLARE! I too prefer a little bit of fade over overpowering glare blocking my viewing experience. "Just close the blinds..." if I'm going to close the blinds anyway, I may as well get a projector setup! I am LOVING how much more affordable Ultra Short Throw projectors are becoming and this one is most likely going to replace my Bedroom TV as I ALREADY have a nice projector setup in the livingroom. Great video, keep up the good work! I really enjoyed this and the fact that finally SOMEONE points out that TV Glare is a major DEAL BREAKER on Flat Panel TVs because you can just as easily mitigate image fade on a projector as you can TV Glare so why not just go with the projector instead????
Two questions please 1. How big of a screen can I use with this? in your video you mention 150 inch screen, is that the recommended size? Which specific screen can you recommend for a first time buyer like myself? 2. How far away does the projector need to sit from the screen? I’m trying to figure out how exactly it would fit in my room. Thank you, I am, of course, subscribed with notifications, enabled, and thumbs up!
I want a 4k projector, but I already have 3 Panasonic 1080p laser projectors, and an Epson UB 1080p lamp based projector, so I'm good for a few years, even though I watch video, and game about 12+ hours per day, lol 😂
At last... At last, finally some decent screen time. Weeks go by and... nothing, but now a star is born. The elephant thanks you dearly. Unfortunately, he's now packed his trunk, said goodbye to the circus and it's on his way to Hollywood. Wow, so many people won't get that! This is a nice set up, but and in this is a big butt (or at least it is in this household - hope she doesn't read this) after paying the amount of money we did for our TV, we're going to use that mf till it dies! At that stage of our lives everyone will laugh at how out-of-date our tech is and we won't know how to use technology or the internet and gain an appreciation for doilies, knitting and crochet anyway.
Well unashamed sponsorship success story here. I haven’t heard of this projector but impulse bought it while finishing your video up. Here’s why, the company is established with a few products out there already. I am concerned with quality but that’s the risk you take at the lower price point. I was going to pull the trigger on a high end laser projector already to replace my UST LG PF1000W. The LG is a good projector but it really doesn’t pop that much, is 1080, and even with my Elite Screens ALR, its still lacking. I’m hoping this gives me a few years of use and hopefully the longevity of it is worth the risk. Thanks Paul for the review!
You shouldn’t get the Rainbow effect with a laser projector, although a laser projector uses a DLP chip, it either has three individual coloured lasers, or two laser and a prism to split the colours, as a result it does not need the spinning colour wheel of a traditional DLP projector. I struggle to watch a Normal DLP projector as the rainbow effect makes me feel sick.
I was thinking there had to be a British slang term for tipping someone, then remembered that tipping is a stupid American custom, then thought "pounding" someone is already slang.
Intro had me interested but then when it was a sponsor I couldn’t see past it and take everything with a pinch of salt. I’ll wait for a few more reviews until making my final call on it, sounds good though!
hi paul, i am just happy with the xdmi you had in one of your other videos. where can i find this bottom to top screen thing that you are showing? wouldn't that work with any projector as well?
The biggest advantage of a projector is IMO that you can activate it for those quality moments like watching a movie. For watching the news or weatherforecast you dont want the screen to dominate the room. Smaller tv and projector is better than 1 big tv. Just hook them both up to a receiver with 2 hdmi outputs and you can watch the same content on both.
Hi Paul, hope things are good. Can i ask you something please? just wondering what this projector would look like projecting onto a sheet of glass? and whether that woudl work. Have a good one bro, all the best, Kieron

In addition to home entertainment use, I can see using something like this in a conference or class room where you don't want to devote a whole section of the room to A/V all the time. The size of the screen makes it reasonable to use in a space where even a large TV would just look puny.
Great review as usual. I appreciate the detail you go into when talking about the pros and cons as well as the honesty when you talk about things that may be a matter of taste or opinion.
Looking forward when ALDP 5.0 is released in new Projectors
I am surprised this video is only 13 minutes long but you got a lot of jokes and filler content at the same time!
How did you get it delivered cause if i click the Amazon link for uk it says it cant be delivered to my location
Looking at their other products, I suspect this is just a rebadged or reboxed product from a different company.
The connection layout and specs look very similar to the Xgimi Aura.
That's a good thought, but I don't think it's a re-branding of the Xgimi Aura: The Xgimi Aura has 1800 lumens, while the Nexigo Aurora has 2400 lumens. Also, the Xgimi Aura uses the (annoying) Android operating system, where for licensing reasons Netflix is not available or only externally available, whereas with Nexigo the Netflix tile is already present in the OS.
@@netcoin Nexigo also only has Android OS (which requires an airmouse as shown in the video), not Android TV thus it would also not put out HDR10 on Netflix.
@@NhatLinhNguyen82 Thank you NhatLinh for the correction.
Nexigo vs AWOL 3500 ?
Thoughts 💭 ? 🧐
The light hitting the screen thing is mainly to do with the projector screen you use. There's different materials that reflect the light differently. I recently watched a video of a guy comparing them all. The best ones will cost a few grand especially for the ones which raise up like the one you have... ahhhh... look, as I type you get onto this lol
Disappointed that it doesn't do 120hz out. I thought finally a short throw that does VRR and allm! But then it doesn't do 120. Ugh.
Pretty much every single DLP projector cannot do 4k/120hz. It's a limitation of the chip. Only 3 chip projectors can do that. And so far that's just Epson and JVC.
Your idea of cheep is umm.. objectively wrong.... $1600 ?? Maybe if you said $300-400.. ugg..
Not sure where I said this was cheap, but I'm sure whatever context I am speaking in I am objectively absolutely right, because... perspective.
Welp, time to sell one of my kidneys for a really dope projector
There were too many snakes for me to recommend this video :)
I'd gladly watch the video just for the info and not for the jokes and screams.
Tough tits, you got both! 😂
It's a £3000 projector, not a £1400 one ?
6:10 made me feel things I can't explain
It’s a brand new kind of horny right? 😁
@@paulhibbert 💯 especially when Jeff got involved
What state is the American guy from?
When I was a kid, my parents thought a transformer was that thing that plugs into the wall to charge things.......
On a serious note though, this projector looks rather interesting. Look forward to seeing it (maybe) become available in Australia......
Rainbow effect usually only effects DLP projectors as far as I recall. I notice it on DLP projectors, but not on other technologies. Guess your mileage may vary.
Interesting! Thanks mate, I shall have to look into that!
You are correct regarding the "rainbow effect" on DLP. It occurs because a DLP projector throws up a red image, then a green image, then a blue image, then repeats. This is because a typical DLP projector is monochromatic, and to get color they use a color wheel for each of the colors. This time shifted RGB is why you moving can cause the color issues. (Try watching through a fan sometime.)
You can get laser speckle from 3 laser projectors though
I've got a big enough room to set one up so its saving time.
So true about the glare, My big tv is so shinny, no idea why when Monitors have antiglare but TVs don't
You’d think they would have solved this by now. I think some TVs have anti-glare, but I imagine it’s a tech specific thing, like a requirement for some reason 🤷🏻♂️
Shiny.... Soz. 😂
can i also be sponsored by nexigo ?
buyed a for movie and fresnel wall and you're right.. black levels are totally missing even in the dark. I would not buy one again. Better live with an 85" QLED. OLED is not so nice because its more mirroring then the QLED/LCD Displays are...
Hopefully the future upcoming microLED TVs are cheaper and with less energy consumption. They are matte and big with extrem contrast.
This is awesome. Another great video Paul. I hope they get the Kickstarter issues sorted.
Being a transformer reviewer, I'm cracking up at the fake transformer 😅😅😅 Good video
So how much to buy one? Can't remember you giving a purchase amount?
Very nice video but i would like to know, are you being paid either in money, products or any other way to review this projector.
I have no problem if you are, kudos to you if you can do this but it would be nice for the viewers to know so that we can decide whether your or anyone else's reviews on any product could be potentially down to recieving a payment. It would be nice if all youtube reviewer's had to make this clear at the beginning of the video. Surely if you ae being paid you are going to look at any product in a different way to a non paid review. Please note this is not meant to be a personal dig at you or anyone else. Just in case any Tesla ceo is looking at this comment I would absolutely love to produce a non biased review the model 3, Y, S, X. You can even send me a script with all the features you want me to salivate over. I won't tell anyone this part, honest.
Disclosure is at 1:16 buddy. I also ticked the button when uploading so that TH-cam would also tell you that it is a sponsored video.
Hasn’t affected my opinion though, this projector is insane value for money
@@paulhibbert yes I agree it looks awesome. did not notice you said it was sponsored at 1:16 and did not notice any ticked button but no matter. it just always makes me wonder how many sponsored and ticked videos get rave reviews. if you really thought it was a SH1T product would you have actually said bearing in mind that you could have lost that sponsor and potential earnings. I do not know you personally and only you know for sure. You are not the first I have made this type of comment on and you probably will not be the last. The manufacturers of this projector are making these to sale and make money and an honest unbiased review may not be benifical to them or you.
To be honest if you had bought the projector with your own money and gave the review I would have been more impressed. In a sense you are working for that company, I don't think you will find many people slag off the company they work for on youtube for all to see. Just my opinion of course and other people will have their own views which they are entitled to.
Stick around and get to know me. You'll soon see that my sponsors get just as much stick as anyone else ;)
Which screen is it you have there?
dunno Paul, just seems the same as all of your other projector videos. every one is the newest best thing. but is it? how about doing a 2023 round up? not only on projectors. how about smart bulbs , switches, sensors . cameras? all the products you review seem to be great... but which is the best?
Who have the patience to wait till spring/summer of next year.
2024 is going to be an busy sport year for sure, with the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics, and UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany. Thanks to those games, it's going to be a year of discounts on TV's and UST projectors in Europe.
You used to work at a call center?? Boys we found him! Get out the pitchforks and the Torches bye dear God we found the call center guy! Admission of guilt prepare the hunt.
Sorry bad joke kind of a running gag about foreign call center tech support probably wouldn't get it where you're from Britain but if you were in Canada or the US you would most certainly get it;) and having a British voice and saying you work for a call center boy would you get it ololol . So yeah not a good idea to say you worked at a call center if you're outside of Britain and sound like you're a British just a little Pro tip there ;). Story so I could tell you about my job interview for a call center that was straight out of some sort of bad Urban myth kind of humor felt more like you were being inducted into a cult or job screening to be an employee at a top secret government organization that hunts Cryptids.
Still can't believe you were rocking the Lex Luthor as far back as age 19 now I don't feel so bad that I'm 45 years old and my hair seems to be falling out the last couple years like a wookie that's been exposed to radiation. I figured by the time I'm 50 I'm going to look like Homer Simpson but at least I had a few good years;). ps Speakers facing backwards on a flat screen television is a stunt they've been doing for a long time my flat screen that finally quit on me was one of the last ones that had front facing speakers. It's a stunt they've been pulling so that you buy an aftermarket sound system or nowadays people buy a Bluetooth Soundbar. Problem I ran into with Bluetooth is compatibility there's like nine effing frequencies of Bluetooth nowadays I keep getting Bluetooth speakers and they're not the right compatibility to connect with one device or the other one device is running Bluetooth 5 something this and that another device requires Bluetooth 75 something and so on total bloody nightmare just have one frequency of Bluetooth and get it over with
So.. can you integrate this with HOMEASSISTANT? (yes u can, just use some bridge with IR, like Aqara hub)
6:20 technically you can have a 150" tv samsung made "the wall" but practically no one has enough money for this, especially that it would draw an absurd amount of power and you'll need a separate cooling system just for this room for you not to boil in there after an hour.
I really want to know how much the brightness will decrease when this projector projects at 100 inches and 120 inches because I bought a 120-inch ALR screen from Vivid Storm.
240 silver pennies weighed roughly one pound. Penny for a pound. And other historical terms that changed. Just like in the best colonies, sorry Canada, one deer skin was equal to one dollar. Or a buck for a buck. English is a quirky growing language.
THANK YOU SO MUCH @paulhibbert for bringing up an issue that Flat Panel TV reviewers skip ALL THE TIME.
TV Glare is horrendous no matter how "deep dark" those blacks are on a television. It makes the image quality WORSE because it invites MORE GLARE! I too prefer a little bit of fade over overpowering glare blocking my viewing experience.
"Just close the blinds..." if I'm going to close the blinds anyway, I may as well get a projector setup! I am LOVING how much more affordable Ultra Short Throw projectors are becoming and this one is most likely going to replace my Bedroom TV as I ALREADY have a nice projector setup in the livingroom.
Great video, keep up the good work! I really enjoyed this and the fact that finally SOMEONE points out that TV Glare is a major DEAL BREAKER on Flat Panel TVs because you can just as easily mitigate image fade on a projector as you can TV Glare so why not just go with the projector instead????
Damn so impressive
NVidia Shield?? Fire Stick?? Thought you’d come over to the Dark Side - Where’s your Apple TV?
I like that ironic currency joke, "Pound is a weight..." which is why it's called a pound, it was the weight of silver in 240 pennies.
I mean i would hope for 3000 usd it would crush your tv....you can buy a lot of tv for 3k
Two questions please
1. How big of a screen can I use with this? in your video you mention 150 inch screen, is that the recommended size? Which specific screen can you recommend for a first time buyer like myself?
2. How far away does the projector need to sit from the screen? I’m trying to figure out how exactly it would fit in my room.
Thank you, I am, of course, subscribed with notifications, enabled, and thumbs up!
Can't wait for mine to arrive, great video paul!
You won’t regret it! 😊👍🏻
I want a 4k projector, but I already have 3 Panasonic 1080p laser projectors, and an Epson UB 1080p lamp based projector, so I'm good for a few years, even though I watch video, and game about 12+ hours per day, lol 😂
Can I use this as PC monitor?
Yes
Have you ever got those Bose cubes that in the directions says may sound better if reflected off the wall? They do.
At last... At last, finally some decent screen time. Weeks go by and... nothing, but now a star is born. The elephant thanks you dearly. Unfortunately, he's now packed his trunk, said goodbye to the circus and it's on his way to Hollywood. Wow, so many people won't get that!
This is a nice set up, but and in this is a big butt (or at least it is in this household - hope she doesn't read this) after paying the amount of money we did for our TV, we're going to use that mf till it dies! At that stage of our lives everyone will laugh at how out-of-date our tech is and we won't know how to use technology or the internet and gain an appreciation for doilies, knitting and crochet anyway.
Hey Paul, can you do a cover on ALR screens? I'm using an Xgimi on a wall which is ok but would love some recemmendations on automated ALR.
Well unashamed sponsorship success story here. I haven’t heard of this projector but impulse bought it while finishing your video up. Here’s why, the company is established with a few products out there already. I am concerned with quality but that’s the risk you take at the lower price point. I was going to pull the trigger on a high end laser projector already to replace my UST LG PF1000W. The LG is a good projector but it really doesn’t pop that much, is 1080, and even with my Elite Screens ALR, its still lacking. I’m hoping this gives me a few years of use and hopefully the longevity of it is worth the risk. Thanks Paul for the review!
You shouldn’t get the Rainbow effect with a laser projector, although a laser projector uses a DLP chip, it either has three individual coloured lasers, or two laser and a prism to split the colours, as a result it does not need the spinning colour wheel of a traditional DLP projector. I struggle to watch a Normal DLP projector as the rainbow effect makes me feel sick.
I was thinking there had to be a British slang term for tipping someone, then remembered that tipping is a stupid American custom, then thought "pounding" someone is already slang.
I’m sure someone has mentioned this: Triple laser = no color wheel = no rainbow effect. If I’m wrong, I stand corrected.
I'd love to see this projector up against an OLED.
Nice video. I was pretty much set on the Formovie Theater UST but after seeing this no longer sure. Have you seen the Formovie Theater?
Does this have pixel shift 4K or true 4K ?
It's pixel shift as is every single DLP projector.
Intro had me interested but then when it was a sponsor I couldn’t see past it and take everything with a pinch of salt. I’ll wait for a few more reviews until making my final call on it, sounds good though!
Amazing ❤️❤️ you should attach something like a MiSTer to it!
Great video! Will defo try this projector out but I wanna know, does it come with the screen ? Please let me know what model it is. Thanks
hi paul, i am just happy with the xdmi you had in one of your other videos. where can i find this bottom to top screen thing that you are showing? wouldn't that work with any projector as well?
Usually don't like cutsey crap. You do it well. I am somewhat entertained (-"
I'm always going to have my computer plugged into the projector, along with at least two other monitors streaming everything in 4K. 🙂
The biggest advantage of a projector is IMO that you can activate it for those quality moments like watching a movie. For watching the news or weatherforecast you dont want the screen to dominate the room. Smaller tv and projector is better than 1 big tv. Just hook them both up to a receiver with 2 hdmi outputs and you can watch the same content on both.
It’s £3,000
You didn't show how much space it takes up . Like can I put it on an entertainment stand or is it like 40" deep??
I love the funny parts of this video .. the grandma kicking the baby 😂😂
OLED is still king but the price of a 97” TV is crazy!
😂 im watching a tv with crazy glare right now and I hate it.
If the sun is out.. it’s on my tv
Hi Paul, hope things are good. Can i ask you something please? just wondering what this projector would look like projecting onto a sheet of glass? and whether that woudl work. Have a good one bro, all the best, Kieron
Great review! Where do you place an “ultra short throw” projector? How short is ultra-short?
I love the fact that you play Destiny. And the fact yer a Titan? Even better.
Pounds are a measure of mass, not weight. And now, back to the show.
I swore I would stop buying the products you review. I now need to re arrange my front room
