I just wanted to point out again, the rainbow effect is only visible on camera. In person neither Anna or myself could see it. 👍
DLP rainbow effect is only noticable when u move your eyes fast too, the negatives of DLP still beat any LCd projection
I used to have a projector setup, with a home-made 7' screen. Used it for years, but eventually went back to a large TV because it's more convenient to use in day to day life, (projectors always need a darker room for best viewing experience).
Imagine this projector would be a 100" monitor...
I have a 130" for watching films and a 34" curved ultrawide for gaming
It really could be, it's so responsive.
Your eyes would dry out in an hour! 4K Laser projectors on 144hz is the way to go to protect your eyes!
I hope the RGB in the PC isn't brighter than the projector :D
I used to own a giant rear projection TV. I really get the point of the more cinematic experience. Loved that thing, although it was only SD, had to be calibrated on a nearly daily basis and consumed a hell lot of electricity.
Yeah it definitely isn't the most versatile setup. It is great when it works but it makes you work for it. 😂
Damn the rainbow effect hitting me hard lol
Me too on the pubg footage
The rainbow effect only showed up on camera. In person neither Anna or myself could see it.
We had the same problem when I got my Epson projector. The only wall in the basement we could project on has a giant electronic thermostat right in the middle. We ended up going to the fabric store and bought what they call Blackout fabric...to put behind curtains to block the light. And it has a side that has a bit of a shiny finish that reflect perfectly for projectors. For a big roll we only paid like 20$ and managed to get 120 inches of screen. Colors are very vibrant and black are very dark. We hung it just a few inches in front of the wall to clear the thermostat and it works very well.
the content that we love
ayy ❤️
EPIC video man! love your channel
Man, that setup looks epid man, I've wanted those speakers since I saw Zeos review them
They are crazy good for the money. They sound way bigger than they look. 👍
Pretty epic
It comes with its downsides as well, but I think the experience is something to test
That's really nice 👌 it's a great setup you have here
That's awesome Dawid
Using an ambient light rejection screen really helps with increasing contrast during daylight usage for me.
My 43" TV was given to me by my neighbor across the street, it's a Sony Bravia from ca. 2008. Does 1080p, looks fine. But, as I found out, wholly unsuitable for gaming. So when Reliefbux come in, maybe I'll pick one of these up.
Hey thank you so much for this detailed review i truly enjoyed it! I have a small question if you dont mind, can you notice any motion blur when there is a fast movement in game or movies in your projector? Id love to know because im noticing some motion blur on my Optoma GT1080Darbee which i love but wish they added frame interpolation to reduce the motion blur. Please let me know thanks!
I find this setup more interesting than LTT's expensive setups, because this is actually obtainable. Great video Dawid.
Loving the "mini" Quagmire in the corner there Dawid. Nice touch, giggity xD
Haha!! Thank you. 😊
Nice mini itx build for this + the projector mounted on the ceiling would of been dope.
This has given me an idea :)
You need to try the Razer Turret with this set up, I got one and works so well for couch gaming or using at the desktop
i feel like for certain games like EFT you can take use of the NVIDIA filters to find a color profile that best fits the projector when playing EFT. All can be done through GeForce Experience. It actually makes the game look completely different when done the right way due to games loving grey filters.
A budget pico DLP projectors typically has over 15- 120hz native 480p to 1080p max. LCDs has at least 60hz. It would be nice to have a split screen feature to play with your friends with that.
Hope you and everyone else has a great day. And stay safe. 😃
You too
lasagne man Thanks
We don't need a super powerful graphics card... just this gtx1080ti... :S ... seriously though, I appreciate the fact you work with what you have on this channel, watching linus or jay etc, they always have endless top of the line components that are completely out of reach for the majority of us, I appreciate its a bit more realistic here. New sub ;)
Haha!! To be fair it is "only" a GTX 1080. 😁 I am glad you appreciate that. Welcome to the channel.
Holy sht that looks amazing xD. 100inch of pure gaming. BTW so close to 100k Dawid, you deserve it!
but hes 500k....wtf
Ok.. I need to get one of these
That car analogy though! Are you a car guy Dawid?
Pull down projector screen or tape a sheet up to cover the light switch.
Optoma made a new gaming projector, the uhd 30x or uhd 50x at 240hz 1080p I was wondering if you would do a review of it?
UHD30 and UHD42
If you wanted it could also fill in for for your other viewing pleasures as well..T.V..Movies..whatever..you could also get a pull down screen that would probably look better than just your wall
I use to play on 127" but I sat like 8ft away, it's super cool having such a big view but playing fps games is harder, if you play on a regular cpu screen everything is in your peripheral view so you'll do better, but if your about racing I doubt it'd be a problem, plus you want a dark room when playing projector
Nice video, thank you Dawid! I also have a BenQ projector (W1070) and I actually use it with a steam link. Ethernet plugged, it works wonderfully with a generic wireless Xbox 360 adapter. And the main problem is gone: just play with a controller. Off course, it limits it to the games which are designed for it: I'm currently playing Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, and I'm really enjoying it more than on my 1440p 144hz screen..! Escape from Tarkov and PUBG are not meant to be played on such a big screen IMHO though.
Same like the Benq w1070 and it is still just as good
I would want your impression about that smls amplifier (and any other amplifiers you might want to share your thought) as I'm currently looking to replace my teac for my mordaunt-short speakers. In fact I would like some amplifier reviews for computer from you. I like Z a lot but it would be nice to have your input too.
Shout out to my guy Z!!!!
I use my optoma gt1080 for netflix but for gaming I prefer the focus of a near 43" tv but my long distance eye sight us really bad!
Which is best 4k gaming projector? Benqtk800k or others
I game in my theater occasionally, 135" screen and full surround(dual 18" sub woofers) but I find the only games that are comfortable are those with a controller or sim setup(wheel and seat). Trying to use a KB and mouse is uncomfortable even in a recliner. I'm thinking of moving the Simulator to my gaming room and adding a screen mount anyway, the screen is just too big.
But with a projector you gain the benefit of watching movies so it's a 2 for 1!
Ultimate! Bigger! Better! Sounds perfect :D
That's what sh.... ah nvm :)
Impala Customs CornHub
thanks nice video
Did you do anything special in your GPU driver or Windows settings to get rid of the vertical screen tearing? I can't seem to get rid of it completely in some games.
wonder what MMORPGs would be like on a projector
Imagine brilliant gaming
When can we expect lots of projectors use hdmi 2.1?
And then theirs me sitting with a 60hz 24' monitor
@@butterdog29 I tried, it goes all flickery
Now I’ll save someone’s nerves, because initially I was almost so worried myself.
To enable 1080p/120Hz, 4k(inferior)/60Hz, you need 2 things:
1) hdmi 2.0, if connected to the PC, make sure that the video card has a 2.0 connector or higher.
2) when connecting the projector via the remote control, in the additional item “hdmi settings” -> HDMI EDID -> and for both hdmi you need to select IMPROVED(EXTENDED) and NOT STANDARD(DEFAULT) (in short, STANDARD = HDMI 1.4, IMPROVED = HDMI 2.0)
Next video: can a Volkswagen golf gti run crysis?
what case is that ?? I want .. can has the info please ??
Nice to see you get a little Tarky time on there.
i heard z reviews oh the lord of high end audio C:
Does anyone know if I can remove the digital lens shift to expand the image of the projector?.. For whatever reason I have an annoying border of very faint light around the screen... I want this light to be all image... Is that possible?? Please help! I have limited room to mount the projector back.
we love you Dawid
I like the idea of a huge screen but I could definitely see the rainbow colour through the picture of that image for sure which is a shame. .otherwise looked ok....
Does this projector is able to play 4K as native resolution or jus 1080
Sir rainbow 🌈 effect is there in projector sir epson is. Best or benq is best please reply please sir
I bought a Dell 7609WU projector (1920x1200 60fps) projector on eBay bids for $100 because the bulb was on its last legs. The included bulb still works fine and the replacement is like $60 and lasts about 3k hours. (Original one has 3.8k hours apparently) Connected to my z333 it gives a grate experience, but I have 2 problems while using it thou...
1- My wall is light blue and has a rough texture and it makes the image have a blue tone and not look as clear as it should. I really want to make a acrylic frame but the human malware says no.
2- My mechanical keyboard is not wireless, my mouse is. Can't game without a keyboard... I'm thinking of getting a used Xbox controller off marketplace, let's see if the human malware lets me.
I have used it to watch JOJO's season 1 and it gave me a fantastic experience, even with these drawbacks, best $100 spent c:
Is it good for movies?
Hi bro what is the difference th 685i and 685 and 685p
Wht tv box model, u play for games??
can we play 144hz game on projector like we play on monitor?
I have an issue with this projector, when I try to set 120hz in 1080 on my PC with RTX 3080 It goes crazy and don't find the source. I'm using HDMI Cable 2.1 for 8K, it works only in 1080p 60hz, or 4K 60hz. I tried to use different HDMI cables bu the issue remain.
Samsung’s about to release a new projector, you should check it out for gaming 👀
I used to run a projector years ago, I had one in my living room from like 06 to 14 or so. 105 inches of gaming sexiness. Actually the Xbox 360 gave the best experience and then PS3, the PC was actually the worst for some reason. Halo 3, Gears 2, PlayStation Move shooters with the gun like Time Crisis 4, Killzone 3, Dead Space Extraction were amazing for back them! The only thing better is VR. That’s way better than a projector.
I used a king sized white sheet for a screen 😆
I feel like this would work much better with a console playing singleplayer story driven games like Uncharted and God of War.
Looks great but still waiting for an affordable 120hz, low lag TV.
That rainbow effect is only present in low end DLP projectors. High end DLP projectors use a separate DLP chip for each aspect of the RGB color mix. Low end projectors use one chip and something called a color wheel. As an AV professional I never recommend a 1 chip DLP projector. There is zero chance you get the advertised life out of this projector. Depending on how much you play I expect image degradation after 3-5 years.
that's cool he's got a heating pad for his Kitty
best part of the setup
Kitty thermal pads
The rainbow effect is really noticeable it would drive me nuts watching it.
Like I said in the video, it only shows up on Camera, neither Anna or myself could see it at all in person. 👍
@@DawidDoesTechStuff Ohhhh ok :)
@@strohhuttv8848 😁
Linus Made a video on a Corsair keyboard mouse thingy, he used it on his tv
Haha!! Yeah I saw that, but that costs money. 😂
I want to hear you play the guitar sitting in the background.
Haha!! Maybe one day. 😁
Intensify the gigity
You didn't say anything about the noise levels???
How did you get the 120hz with the HDMI cable? Got the same graphics card but i only get 60hz.
To enable 1080p/120Hz, 4k(inferior)/60Hz, you need 2 things:
1) hdmi 2.0, if connected to the PC, make sure that the video card has a 2.0 connector or higher.
2) when connecting the projector via the remote control, in the additional item “hdmi settings” -> HDMI EDID -> and for both hdmi you need to select IMPROVED and NOT STANDARD (in short, STANDARD = HDMI 1.4, IMPROVED = HDMI 2.0)
And don't forget to turn on fast mode or gaming mode I forgot, then you will see 120hz
Why doesn't the image look really pixelated? When I run a game at 1080p on my 49 inch monitor it looks terrible
Try changing scaling to your gpu instead of display. Usually in nvidia settings on radeon settings
Speakers over Bluetooth, for gaming? Seems like latency compensation would be difficult-to-impossible in real-time situations like FPS gameplay. I know that playing rhythm games on my phone absolutely does not work over BT because the hit sounds come late compared to the music, which throws off the whole feel of the game.
Alfawise Q9 is 60hz but only 133 eu. :) 1080p
I used to have a projector and a 106" screen between 2007 and 2009 but back then 1080p cost at least €5000 so I got a 720p projector and even at €1300 it was still expensive. It was quite epic to play Mass Effect 1 on it but the 720p was not really enough resolution for 106" not to mention I had to keep the room constantly dark. And the bulb only lasted about 2500 hours and a new one cost €300.
Sounds like me back in the day. I was really the only one I knew who was using projectors instead of TVs. Had an Optoma HD71 720p that cost 1300 bucks, bulbs were super pricey, I went through 3. It's still kicking! I use it for my nintendo switch in the bedroom. In my living room I have an Optoma UHD50 that is 4k, and in 2020 cost.... 1300 dollars! I haven't tried the PC out on it but the switch and ps5 look incredible on it.
@@Widderic I use an Ultra Short Throw 1080p laser projector these days and it is superior to my old one in every single way such as much longer life of the laser, brighter, easier to place etc and yet I’m thinking I should have just gotten a big TV instead even if it would have been a bit smaller. No matter what I do I can’t seem to get the picture perfect. It is always wavy. I don’t remember that being such a problem with my old one. I think it is because of the Ultra Short Throw nature of it being so close and below instead of hanging down from the roof far away like a traditional projector.
@@wertywerrtyson5529 It certainly is a temperamental hobby filled with troubleshooting and in the end you just want to give up and buy an expensive OLED. But if you want that authentic movie theatre experience it's still the way to go. You need a dope 5.1 surround system to compliment it. The real money you'll drop isn't lumens or resolution, it's the contrast ratio for the whites and blacks. The only time I notice my set up looking like crap is when there are dark scenes... when it fades or transitions you can see the topographic map like shades of blackness. Oh well, I aint rich enough for a nice OLED! I have always wanted to try those laser projectors though.
@@Widderic I thought moving to a house from an apartment would mean I don’t have to worry about noise complaints so I bought a subwoofer and was ready to have some nice sound again but with the wife and kids and everything I just don’t use it barely at all. My older daughter uses the projector a lot more than me. I find myself using the old 52” TV from 2008 in the living room 90% of the time watching some Netflix show with the wife even though I have an OLED in my office/game room (although a fairly small one since I have crammed in my computer desk and all my games in that fairly small room) and the projector in the guest room. Maybe as the kids get older I have more time to enjoy movies and such. Having a 6 year old and a 9 months old means they require a lot of attention especially the 9 months old. The only time I have is when she takes her nap and then I can’t make too much noise.
@@wertywerrtyson5529 I've never wanted and not wanted kids so bad in my whole life haha. My wife and I are 35 and running out of time on that decision. Anyways, you make it sound like the older you get the less you care what platform you're enjoying your media on haha. The 2008 tv for the win! Paper thin walls here in this apartment complex so if I turn that woofer passed 10 percent the cops are gonna come knocking. Very excited to buy a house next year.
dawid drives a vw i know he does. i
the ultimate gaming experience would to game on dobly vision cinema
Just downloaded a 100" 240hz Monitor with crack ofcourse.
0435 there you can see the rainbow effect on the wall in game...
I know it's an old video...
4K Laser projectors on 144hz is the way to go to protect your eyes!
I can see the rainbow effect on your shirt...
You forgot the #twss hashtag, yo. :D
You have a very cute cat
Hello! Fellow Dawid :)
Hello. 😁
Man the projector tells me you have a dust problem in the air. You need a Billionaire air purifier. Or any other brand, that doesn't need filter swaps, just cleans.
Thanks for the video, David. I’ve just picked up this projector, and even though it’s very good overall, I still have a few issues to iron out before it’s fully optimized. I was wondering how you set this projector up in your display settings.
1. When I enable HDR in Windows display settings, the games become way too bright lacking any shadow depth. The refresh rate also defaults to 30hz (in Windows) and can’t be changed.
2. How does one make sure that the 120hz mode is enabled when gaming on this projector? I haven’t seen that number anywhere in my Windows settings yet.
the rainbow effect is really visible even on your video 5:19
Yeah no if your on a couch it's best to play with a controller or use a table for keyboard and mouse
That's what she says!
Virtual stuff when?
Have you overclocked your cat?
How on earth does 1080p look good. My 27” monitor looks like crap when stuff is 1080p I can’t imagine a 100” display being anything else but huge pixels
only downside, you can't use it in light
particle board = that cheap Ikea wood
It's the Golf GTI of gaming...so it has electrical gremlins out the wazoo, requires specialty expensive tools from Germany to do basic maintenance on, and has a cult following of vape-pen using hipsters?
...I could see that.
Ooh, that rainbow effect is terrible. I can see it all the time and makes the colours look off.
I mentioned it in the video, that only picked up on camera, in person neither Anna nor myself could see it. (We both can clearly see it in the video)
@@DawidDoesTechStuff okay, thanks for letting me know.
If this is an "Ultimate gamin setup" someone needs to raise their standards.
The Micca RB42 speakers are 83dB 1W/1M with a 4-8 ohm impedance and want 15 - 100 watts - so really hard to drive. The SMSL AD 18 looks like 80 watts into 4 ohms - and the manual doesn't even state output into 8 ohms. Danger! Danger Will Robinson! This is audio system is nothing close to a Gulf GTI - maybe a Chevy Spark? A pair of KRK Classic 5 powered monitors would likely sound much better for only a little more money.
5:16 how do you know what a baby's bottom feels like Dawid you sussy baka
My life is still simple....
fyi this system is more like a mobility scooter
