BiG Screen TVs

namix · 11-07-2014, 08:54 AM

Any TV savants out there?

Looking to get a TV, primarily for movies - but a bit of gaming.
- obv 1080p / hd / quick refresh, the standard stuff
- i'd say no smaller than 65, it's a good space to fill
- budget, $1-1.5k

suggestions?

get a projector.

BROKE LESNAR · 11-07-2014, 09:32 AM

A Blu-Ray projector is dope.

My next flat screen investment will be the new warped ones. They look sexy as all get out.

namix · 11-07-2014, 09:44 AM

Nice - any brands for the projector suggested?

~RustyGunZ~ · 11-07-2014, 09:59 AM

or the newer sonys if they're out yet are dope

LCD > projector

I don't care what anyone says a projector does not deliver as sharp a picture

Does all of this matter?

Just get a big ass screen and watch stuff on it...any of them, doesn't matter.

Close your eyes and pick one.

If you wanna go away from Samsung though this joint is crazy and not that expensive

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sharp-aq...qOQaAql08P8HAQ

Has the extra color like the other sharp quattrons and also puts out retina quality (says 4k but isn't.. still 2x as sharp as 1080 though)

edit: thought you said less than 65 not more

http://www.eastcoasttvs.com/Sharp-LE...YNIaAi0_8P8HAQ

70 inch version

Wait a couple weeks til black Friday then get whatever t.v. costs $1.5k

Diode · 11-07-2014, 11:32 AM

i can't with this thread

long debunked quattron nonsense

conflating technology (lcd) with delivery mechanism (projector lens vs panel type)

referencing apple's patented PPI on their smartphones / tablets as a "type of quality" (retina)

not understanding what sharpness is and deciding their exposure to a bargain basement "1080p projector" brand projector means fidelity is impossible to achieve outside of a traditional lcd panel

fuck it. listen to people who shop at best buy.

Lol

high lumen output projectors and high gain screens totally aren't a thing, you're right, there's a reason why there aren't millions of projectors in use in common living rooms throughout the world

(except that they are)
