Once 3 comes out you can always downscale it to 720p and reduce the fidelity and make your own 2.5!

Yeah one could. I don’t know how to do that and it’s not really my area of expertise. It be kind of pointless too because we’re finally getting ready to get these films in 1080p. That’s like downgrading lol.

Don’t worry about using the thread. That’s what it’s for. That being said, honestly I think you’re stuck in a rut of trying too hard. It’s not that your friends don’t like you, but like was said earlier people don’t like to go deep all the time. I keep it light with most of my friends most of the time, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care for them or that if they really needed me I wouldn’t be there. You’re trapped in a circle of needing validation that your friends are probably just exhausted of giving. Honestly think if you stopped seeking said validation you might actually start getting it because it won’t be so demanding for your friends to speak with you.

May the force be with you.

A solid 1080p projector will set you back around 400$ new, even less used - that’s for a reputable brand. I’d say they’re cheap to the point where bothering with potential Chinese crap isn’t really worth it… And these can do 100" from a distance of about 2m - that’s for long throw models. Short throw projectors can do the same image from right next to the screen, basically - depending on how you plan your setup there are options.

If you’re just getting into the topic you might want to read up on DLP vs 3LCD as well.

Yeah it did cost about $400 dollars and it looks great, thank you.

Anyway I forgot to include the price of the screen in the $600 estimate so put it up to about 700. And the screen size is 120 inches. It could handle larger actually but I can only work with the size of the wall. Sorry the fact that it wasn’t a brand you expect doesn’t conform to how shitty you think it should be.

I have a room with an led projector hanging from the ceiling. The room is light controlled and can be pitch black in the middle of the day so it was perfect. Leds aren’t as bright but this isn’t a concern in a room that can be completely dark at any time, and is well worth the extremely extended bulb life. It has a 1080p native resolution (something you have to watch out for in digital projectors. They may say they are 1080p but some of them only can ACCEPT 1080p input but actually project at SD… You have to go by the native resolution) and is plugged in an extremely long hdmi chord that is ran through the walls and comes out in a corner that is visibly blocked by furniture but very easily reached by hand and you can plug anything with wireless controlling into it. I usually have a desktop pc tower plugged in with a wireless mouse and keyboard with a blue ray drive for watching things and wireless controllers for playing games. This same hdmi cord is split to also run into a surround system. It’s pretty sweet and the whole chibang cost about 600 bucks or so. (Generic Chinese projector but it still looks great and has a very crisp 1080p image, the only area it’s lacking is interface and hud but I always leave it on the hdmi input so who cares? And the surround system is one of those rca ones you get at Walmart for about 130 bucks but it sounds nice surprisingly. I wouldn’t use it to listen to music but for movies and games it’s wonderful.)

In all seriousness, it’s actually a fact. The “disputes” were all just perceived and largely manufactured by you. No one was in any kind of an OT.com feud with you.

I think it’d be best if you just dropped it and moved on, as I don’t think anyone has an issue with you when you’re just contributing as you do normally. And I’m not trying to pick on you, I think if everybody just got on with things, we’d be all right.

What the hell is this? That was posted after I said that.
