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

projectors aren't that great

get like a last year model samsung

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

the curve tv is fucking stupid don't waste 3k on it, it's not better

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.

Don't mind witty he isn't American

He does things like watch soccer and buys TVs with his eyes closed

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

70 inch version

jilti · 11-07-2014, 11:28 AM

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)

@namix if you really care to learn about what you're going to spend thousands of dollars on, please go to avsforum and do some reading.
