So I can think of: people paying out of their ass to buy consoles from scalpers, Cyberpunk 2077 breaking pre order records for a broken fucking game, anything else?
@@adsadam1 AH yes because everyone who pre ordered Cyberpunk already knew how broken it was even though its called PREORDER, WAY before the game ever released. I Pre ordered it on Steam a few months before release, and as soon as it released, I heard of how broken it was, and waited for the first patch to be released before playing. After that I started playing and actually had quite a lot of fun, and didn't experience any game breaking bugs or glitches, and experienced fairly few bugs and glitches in total. All in all, how the hell do you expect people who pre ordered the game to know it wasn't going to be ready yet? Also you forgot the idiots who bought GPUs and CPUs from scalpers as well, as those too got scalped to living hell.
@@PilotTed The very concept of preordering is for suckers, and you're a sucker for doing it. It's the epitome of an uninformed purchase decision and allows companies to continually push out broken, unfinished products because suckers happily throw money at unreleased products. The funniest aspect of your story is that you knew after release that Cyberpunk was broken, and the response was not to refund the game, but to reward CDPR by letting them keep your money. Giving companies money before a product is released, AND letting companies keep the money even if the product is broken? Gamers are the biggest suckers of all consumers.
@@PilotTed Those idiots bought it even after not know whether it was broken or not. And bugs aren’t even the worst part of the game, the game has way too many cut contents and every step reminds you that something is missing. So yeah, suckers.
@@MaxMichel89 frankly, the issue with this unit is it's a budget model and the fact you do not have keystone adjustments. Which is necessary for placement of a home projector.
@@Heliocentric Keystone correction breaks the picture quality by stretching the pixels so that is something you don't wanna use. If you pay this much for a projector you surely want to install it properly. I use lens shift if it's available but nothing else than that. And with a high contrast screen I'd stay away from that as well and trying to place the projector as close as possible in the centre of the screen.
I have the Optoma HZ39HDR on a 120" Silver Screen Productions screen with my PS5 hooked up to it, works really well at 4k. I don't see any input lag and thoughts happy that I got it.
I pre-ordered Cyberpunk and I enjoyed it. Next to no bugs besides small ones like one random person being invisible. The only thing that was a downer for me is I didn't do many side quests and beat the game VERY fast. like in 12-14 hours.
You know you can flip the image in the settings so that you don't have to have it at eye level? I have this projector on the ceiling and it's very good without any keystone adjustment. Just set it up correctly.
As someone with a projector in my living room, it's pretty typical (and easy) to ceiling mount the projector above where your couch is. with a fairly basic mounting bracket (~$30) I don't need any keystone adjustment either.
I have a projector mounted exactly the same way in my living room, no need to use the keystone adjustment, work perfectly with a ceiling mounted screen.
Linus please. Keystone adjustments on these projectors are pretty much just a software transform. You don't want to use it ever, because you lose a LOT of sharpness when you do. Notice that, when placed on a level surface, the projector throws it's image UP from "ground level" at an angle (without any keystoning issues). The sensible way to use projectors like this is UPSIDE DOWN, on a ceiling mount. That way it's much further from your head (fixing the fan noise issue) and the setup is much less susceptible to shadows from people sitting in front of the projector.
I love seeing those old transparency projector carts in action! Literal beasts. At one point our district had an elementary school building being consolidated and lots of things were going to auction. All of those type carts were rescued by IT, and either in some form of use or in a secure storage that only we know of ready when we need it.
I've always mounted my projector at the height of the top of the screen. No keystone adjustment required, no risk of blocking the picture. But yeah, unless you want a screen bigger than 70", a TV is going to be better for most rooms (light control).
Bro everyone mounts their projector like that. I'm not a fan of this projector but nearly all of his criticisms come from pure ignorance of using projectors. You also lose significant quality with keystone adjustments and they are never meant to be used in a high end setup. Projectors have their weaknesses, like you mentioned, the necessary light control in the room. But none of the weaknesses are having the projector fans audible because it's right next to your head or not being able to sit in the center. You also can get a short throw projector if space is an issue; however, the reason most projectors are long throw is because the average person buying a projector is doing so because they want a bigger seating area that's not really compatible with the size of televisions.
Ideally you would setup your projector so that you don't need digital keystone adjustment at all. As soon as you turn on keystone you're losing pixels and compressing some parts of the image or stretching other parts. What they really need is lense shift, but you need to upgrade to the optoma UHD50x to get that.
Dude... I thought of shifting frames to create fake extra resolution back when I was watching FMV on the 3DO. So cool to see someone else think the same thing.
As someone experienced in projector installation, this video hurts. The reason Optoma sacrifices keystone adjustment for less input lag is because keystone adjustment should be avoided anyway, especially in a home theater setup. (Side fact: Cinema projectors actually don't provide any keystone adjustment because the whole movie industry would never allow it.) Keystone adjustment is a post-process done in the digital domain, which means you are significantly sacrificing the image resolution when using it. When installing projectors it's expected that the user installs it UPSIDE-DOWN in the ceiling, at the correct height for the height of the screen that is planned. Perhaps Optoma didn't provide enough instructions regarding this but I have a feeling it was rather the LTT guys not RTFM. Well, sucks to be Optoma i guess.
@@sea_kerman Everything is possible with an unlimited budget. A mechanical/optical keystone correction would probably make the projector 10x more expensive. It would also require a lot more maintenance and calibration. But yes, it's probably possible.
"So this is really bad about the product. Just like our sponsor!" *sudden segue to sponsor* Only Linus can pull of this and still make the sponsor look good.
"Do they think gamers are suckers?" If gamers weren't suckers, companies like Activision, EA, Ubisoft, Warner Bros and so many others would be out of business.
If you have to adjust for the keystone effect in a permanent setup, you're already doing it wrong imo. Its digital processing and it ends up really affecting clarity. I would rather just switch to another projector with a lower screen drop if that's a concern (neck craning can be a real problem).
Filpped upside-down and mounted on the ceiling with screen flip turned on, the trapeziod shape actually makes a square image. Not sure if it's why they designed it that way for that reason, but it works.
"Do they think gamers are suckers" Given how many people were as desperate as they were to buy a PS5 with no games for it, despite how Sony has been, lately, they have good reason to believe that.
You only need Demon Souls Also i have purchased 160 PS4 games on base PS4, all work on PS5, most of which take advantage of the better hardware. That's good enough reason to buy the upgrade for me lol
My Epson HC4100 is badass for both gaming and day to day PC work. I've been using an Epson 3LCD projector for years and they are VERY usable and unless you REALLY need 120hz or 4k they're golden.
@@khx73 If you are talking about the rainbow effect in the video, then that's not the same as in real life. The shutter speed of the camera most probably makes the rainbow effect more visible in the video. Also, depending on the speed of the colorwheel, the rainbow effect could be less visible, or not even visible for the people otherwise sensitive for this, so it differs from projector to projector I have this exact projector and it's actually one of the better ones regarding the rainbow effect
I can't imagine that you'd be able to see low latency with keystone any time soon. Keystone is a digital post processing, and removes pixels to make the adjustment. So you would have more latency and less resolution out of the thing. And I'm not surprised that you can get high refresh rates out of dlps considering how fast the dlp chips move. Laser projectors are the way of the future. No shifting as they heat up, and they turn on an off at the flick of a switch, plus a heck of a lot better color contrast. And a big protector and a screen is way less than an LED wall any day of the week.
LTT: Let's "review" a projector Also LTT: But lets only turn off the lights for less than 20 seconds in the middle of the video, use the admittedly wrong projection surface, and then don't even show bright mode just because it doesn't work with HDR
I used to work at a hotel/conference center, in the A/V department, and occasionally (on a slow weekend) would have a room with a 20-foot, rear-projection fast-fold screen. I would bring in my PS2, call in the Convention Services guys, and run a tournament with Rival Schools, or some other fighting game. Really nice when you have the proper mounting for the projector to prevent keystoning AND don't have to worry about blocking the projector. This was like 25 years ago, so it wasn't a really great picture, but it was still freakin' awesome.
I've had this projector for 6 months. You just need to ceiling mount the projector and cast the image upside down. And you can eliminate the need for keystone correction while still being able to sit in the center and be away from the fans. Kind of sad they don't bother to check this or even mention it.
DLP consumer projectors have been around longer than you’ve been alive. What isn’t mentioned is that they pack almost 2,000,000 of those mirrors onto a chip that is less than half an inch wide.

"Do they think Gamers are suckers" I've yet to see anything advertised as "Gaming" or "for Gamers" etc. which doesn't come with a inflated price.
like the cpu pillow?
Have you used any monitors, gpus, mice, keyboard? Like literally any peripheral for gamers is advertised as for gamers. Your generalisation is random and doesn't apply.
@@jyotshak Since when are any of those exclusive to gamers?
If I feel like something isn't worth the price asked for it (aside from medication and so on) then I just won't buy it for that price.
If Gaming is just a hobby and you're not making money from it, then there's no reason to pay inflated prices for "Gaming Monitors", "Gaming Mice", "Gaming Keyboards" etc.
And yes, there are high performance equivalents aimed towards the Business users without obnoxious RGB and what-not.
@@MadIIMike expect some things don't have gaming on their name and are still very price, like mouse pads. Sure it might be high quality, but don't think a 40cmx45cm mouse pad is worth 25€.
Then there are things marked gaming that aren't inflated in price, and in fact seem to be a great price, for example the mice whit a sample rate of 8k samples a second. The only time that kinda mice would ever be usefull is in gaming. It also has I think a few extra buttons over normal and it only costs like 70$,wich seems fare to me do to the technology it uses.
There is a "gaming coffe" brand on my country and it is decently priced, its cheaper than Starbucks so there is that.
(It is still pretty silly marketing)

So I can think of: people paying out of their ass to buy consoles from scalpers, Cyberpunk 2077 breaking pre order records for a broken fucking game, anything else?
@@adsadam1 AH yes because everyone who pre ordered Cyberpunk already knew how broken it was even though its called PREORDER, WAY before the game ever released. I Pre ordered it on Steam a few months before release, and as soon as it released, I heard of how broken it was, and waited for the first patch to be released before playing. After that I started playing and actually had quite a lot of fun, and didn't experience any game breaking bugs or glitches, and experienced fairly few bugs and glitches in total. All in all, how the hell do you expect people who pre ordered the game to know it wasn't going to be ready yet? Also you forgot the idiots who bought GPUs and CPUs from scalpers as well, as those too got scalped to living hell.
@Qimodis Dont forget cut content. High end graphics card is not gonna fix the ai or bring back the cut content.
@@PilotTed The very concept of preordering is for suckers, and you're a sucker for doing it. It's the epitome of an uninformed purchase decision and allows companies to continually push out broken, unfinished products because suckers happily throw money at unreleased products.
The funniest aspect of your story is that you knew after release that Cyberpunk was broken, and the response was not to refund the game, but to reward CDPR by letting them keep your money.
Giving companies money before a product is released, AND letting companies keep the money even if the product is broken? Gamers are the biggest suckers of all consumers.
@@PilotTed Those idiots bought it even after not know whether it was broken or not. And bugs aren’t even the worst part of the game, the game has way too many cut contents and every step reminds you that something is missing.
So yeah, suckers.

@@Heliocentric yeah i know and there are even better ways to correct the picture like 4 corner correction...
@@Heliocentric Keystone correction breaks the picture quality by stretching the pixels so that is something you don't wanna use. If you pay this much for a projector you surely want to install it properly. I use lens shift if it's available but nothing else than that. And with a high contrast screen I'd stay away from that as well and trying to place the projector as close as possible in the centre of the screen.

Linus please. Keystone adjustments on these projectors are pretty much just a software transform. You don't want to use it ever, because you lose a LOT of sharpness when you do.
Notice that, when placed on a level surface, the projector throws it's image UP from "ground level" at an angle (without any keystoning issues). The sensible way to use projectors like this is UPSIDE DOWN, on a ceiling mount. That way it's much further from your head (fixing the fan noise issue) and the setup is much less susceptible to shadows from people sitting in front of the projector.
I love seeing those old transparency projector carts in action! Literal beasts. At one point our district had an elementary school building being consolidated and lots of things were going to auction. All of those type carts were rescued by IT, and either in some form of use or in a secure storage that only we know of ready when we need it.

I've always mounted my projector at the height of the top of the screen. No keystone adjustment required, no risk of blocking the picture. But yeah, unless you want a screen bigger than 70", a TV is going to be better for most rooms (light control).
Bro everyone mounts their projector like that. I'm not a fan of this projector but nearly all of his criticisms come from pure ignorance of using projectors. You also lose significant quality with keystone adjustments and they are never meant to be used in a high end setup. Projectors have their weaknesses, like you mentioned, the necessary light control in the room. But none of the weaknesses are having the projector fans audible because it's right next to your head or not being able to sit in the center. You also can get a short throw projector if space is an issue; however, the reason most projectors are long throw is because the average person buying a projector is doing so because they want a bigger seating area that's not really compatible with the size of televisions.
Ideally you would setup your projector so that you don't need digital keystone adjustment at all. As soon as you turn on keystone you're losing pixels and compressing some parts of the image or stretching other parts. What they really need is lense shift, but you need to upgrade to the optoma UHD50x to get that.

@@ryanblackwell8321 I don’t know much
As someone experienced in projector installation, this video hurts. The reason Optoma sacrifices keystone adjustment for less input lag is because keystone adjustment should be avoided anyway, especially in a home theater setup. (Side fact: Cinema projectors actually don't provide any keystone adjustment because the whole movie industry would never allow it.) Keystone adjustment is a post-process done in the digital domain, which means you are significantly sacrificing the image resolution when using it.
When installing projectors it's expected that the user installs it UPSIDE-DOWN in the ceiling, at the correct height for the height of the screen that is planned. Perhaps Optoma didn't provide enough instructions regarding this but I have a feeling it was rather the LTT guys not RTFM.
Well, sucks to be Optoma i guess.
Shouldn’t there be some way to get keystone to work with some combination of lenses and prisms and stuff?
@@sea_kerman Everything is possible with an unlimited budget. A mechanical/optical keystone correction would probably make the projector 10x more expensive. It would also require a lot more maintenance and calibration.
But yes, it's probably possible.
"So this is really bad about the product. Just like our sponsor!" *sudden segue to sponsor*
Only Linus can pull of this and still make the sponsor look good.

@Brody Hawes Thats the correct spelling, though
"Do they think gamers are suckers?"
If gamers weren't suckers, companies like Activision, EA, Ubisoft, Warner Bros and so many others would be out of business.
We are suckers in that sense, we know damn well what they’re doing. We still purchase the games because sometimes it’s a certain game series I like
If you have to adjust for the keystone effect in a permanent setup, you're already doing it wrong imo. Its digital processing and it ends up really affecting clarity. I would rather just switch to another projector with a lower screen drop if that's a concern (neck craning can be a real problem).
You can mount of the projector on the ceiling and have the screen low to the couch if you turn it upside down.

@@khx73 If you are talking about the rainbow effect in the video, then that's not the same as in real life. The shutter speed of the camera most probably makes the rainbow effect more visible in the video. Also, depending on the speed of the colorwheel, the rainbow effect could be less visible, or not even visible for the people otherwise sensitive for this, so it differs from projector to projector
I have this exact projector and it's actually one of the better ones regarding the rainbow effect

I can't imagine that you'd be able to see low latency with keystone any time soon. Keystone is a digital post processing, and removes pixels to make the adjustment. So you would have more latency and less resolution out of the thing. And I'm not surprised that you can get high refresh rates out of dlps considering how fast the dlp chips move.
Laser projectors are the way of the future. No shifting as they heat up, and they turn on an off at the flick of a switch, plus a heck of a lot better color contrast. And a big protector and a screen is way less than an LED wall any day of the week.
LTT: Let's "review" a projector
Also LTT: But lets only turn off the lights for less than 20 seconds in the middle of the video, use the admittedly wrong projection surface, and then don't even show bright mode just because it doesn't work with HDR
I love the scripting. Linus: "Why hasn't linus told us about the sponsor yet"
"created for gamers" up-priced by 100% and it has high refresh rate but color accuracy is thrown out the window.
I used to work at a hotel/conference center, in the A/V department, and occasionally (on a slow weekend) would have a room with a 20-foot, rear-projection fast-fold screen. I would bring in my PS2, call in the Convention Services guys, and run a tournament with Rival Schools, or some other fighting game. Really nice when you have the proper mounting for the projector to prevent keystoning AND don't have to worry about blocking the projector. This was like 25 years ago, so it wasn't a really great picture, but it was still freakin' awesome.
70 bucks for a frickin pillow! Do you think were suckers?
I've had this projector for 6 months. You just need to ceiling mount the projector and cast the image upside down. And you can eliminate the need for keystone correction while still being able to sit in the center and be away from the fans. Kind of sad they don't bother to check this or even mention it.
