Projectors vs TVs (lemmy.film)

Thoughts?

I've been using a projector for a while now and can't go back to the size of TVs.

That said, I do miss being able to watch TV with most of my lights on.

Thanks so much!

As for your question, if it's my main screen, having the quality affected by lighting would be really inconvenient for me. That's something I could live with where having the projector out IS the activity, but if the activity is something else and the TV is just on then it's too much mucking around. P

Happy to help! I think it comes down to budget too. If you have $1000 to spend, you can get a 4K projector that can work even with dim lighting. But if you only have $300-400, then you're starting to look at slight tradeoffs - picture quality might be worse with a projector, but then the screen would be bigger and it would be easier to move around.

If you know anyone with projectors, you should go try one out and get a feel for the differences!
