Paul, I know I'm but one of the soon to be millions of your subscribers. But I hope you will allow me to hug you if we ever meet On several occasions I have been thinking about or attempting to not watch your videos ever again along with the rest of life. If I may explain by simile? In a Murtough learning Gibbs is not trying to draw a psycho pension kind of way.

I was going to tell you to please not video yourself taking it all down and boxing it up. It'd be heartbreaking for everyone (except those idiots). Now I'm just really pleased you get to keep it. ❤

[@paulhibbert]

@@tomer4566 They sponsored the video from the outset and provided me with the screen. Every video I make is sponsored in a similar fashion, this is how I make my living. You either trust me to be ethical or you don't, but there's plenty of evidence of my ethics over the years, and every video highlights each of the products failings in a section entitled "What's wrong with it". I've lost sponsors for my honesty (sometimes brutal honesty and I'm pretty sure Deebot won't be back), but I won't ever change because I couldn't sleep at night knowing I'd lied to people for money, I'd rather risk my fee and lose a long term opportunity than be a shill.

[@TheHookUp]

Fresnel screens are indeed a game changer, been saying it for a while now. Edit: a small correction because I know you love it when I do that... Rainbow Effect isn't caused by the color wheel although it can make it worse. Rainbow is caused by the fact that DLP projects each color (R,G, and B) consecutively rather than simultaneously. Trilasers can flash on and off faster than color wheels can switch so the rainbow effect is lessened, but not completely eliminated like it is on other projector types (3LCD, LCoS, and Single LCD).

[@paulhibbert]

🤣 thanks Rob!

[@kriswingert1662]

Hey Rob! If you remember, I asked you about the Hisense F100w 100"ALR fresnal and you said it was a nice screen. Well, I have had it for 2 weeks and not disappointed in the slightlest.

[@kriswingert1662]

As someone whp is a trained tech in this field, this is absoulouty correct. RBE can be minimized by a pulseing tri color laser array ( as seen in later Samsung DLP sets and the only Mitsubishi Laser 72" dlp rptv set back in the mid 2000's ). Not new tech, but updated for 4k ust's and regular projectors.

[@inigogc]

Additional correction, not all DLP projectors are sequential. DLP projectors are mostly sequential, but there are triple DLP projectors, which also display RGB simultaneously.

[@GaelyneGasson]

That was absolutely amazing. I remember 10yrs ago you could barely make anything out on a screen unless it was 3am and every little light in the room had black electrical tape over it.

[@paulhibbert]

Things have really moved on. I had my first projector when I was 21, and it had 3 bulbs, red green and blue! In my memory it was amazing, but i bet it was junk in reality 😂

[@ALaModePi]

Light rejection from the sides-"This is a game-changer." I completely agree. Every time the screens get better, I think of all the space we devote to housing the TV. They make some very nice boxes with additional storage, but they still take at least a foot out of your floor space and require dedicated wall space. Whereas you can put a screen in front of a window and just temporarily use that space. (We live in a small house. We need things to be multi-function.) F2.0, 3500lm, full glass lens: They really went all out on this one. I can see why you want to keep it. The lag times are also fantastic. I suppose there are some Flash-level reflex people who wouldn't play a game with that, but for us mortals, it's not that bad. "It comes with a 4K Firestick": I really like this idea. First, it means that the projector people don't think they have to reinvent the wheel. Second, it means you have an established product with all the lore and workarounds you might need to do what you want already documented. It's a great idea and I wish more folks would do this. Third, as you noted, it allows upgrading. I say this a lot, but I really appreciate that you include the caveats (like the bits with the remotes and the internal speaker). It's good to know all these things before you make a purchase choice. I'd agree, the price is a kicker (but if you want the very best....) Thanks again for a great review. It did seem a little short on the gags this time. (Nothing on the fly?) Nonetheless, it was still great.

[@paulhibbert]

Great video as always. Funny I was just watching that episode of the IT Crowd last night. Classic stuff. I had erased Rainbow from my memory, but apparently used to watch it all the time. I have the firestick max that you got in the box and one of the cool things about it is you can pair it with your bluetooth headphones or speakers, and then the volume controls work. I have a huge tv and a huge projector setup, and there is just something about the projector that gives it that movie theatre feel, no matter what the resolution. Size is king. Bigger the better.

[@kriswingert1662]

Yes, this is a fresnal screen. I actually just got the hard screen version, 100" F100W ALR made by Hisense. With all the lights on and a window behind me it is just wonderfull. It is currently on Amazon for $499 and ships from Beech Camera in NJ. It came in a huge box and on a pallet as it ships by truck. Screen itself weighs about 50lbs, but totally worth it! I am using a VAVA 4k black edition with Harmon Kardon speakers @30watts per chanel, 1800 ansi lumens and it looks fanatastic! I noticed the system of which they use to hang the screen with is identical to the Hisense screens. Hmmmm.........

Game mode disables Keystone correction because that requires image processing and that increases input lag. Probably some processing required for that bit of brightness output as well. That being said, I await the day when these projectors can finally do 4k120 and better.

[@networkn]

I enjoyed this video, your production values are improving all the time. I would be very interested to know the full list of projectors you have tested. JVC and Epson both make some amazing projectors in this price range. It's worth noting this projector won't do 120hz 4K.

[@MegaBeaker]

Hadn't heard about 'rainbowing' before. Happen to be in a place with a massive projector so went and tested it.... mind blown. Also thank you for mentioning the importance of using manual keystone instead of 3D keystone / corner correction. The difference it can make to brightness in particular can be massive.

[@paulhibbert]

It's an odd one, it's good that you don't suffer with it, I don't either. It'll soon be a thing of the past though I guess as this style of projector is becoming more mainstream.

Rear projection fresnel screens were used quite often in the past with old crt projectors. They could significantly boost the perceived image brightness.

[@kriswingert1662]

They were combined with a lenticular screen as well. This was standard on all rptv's. The later dlp sets used a grey screen to enhance contrast.

[@chrisw1462]

@8:50 It turns brightness down (and keystone correction) to improve response time. Keystone processing is obviously going to take time. The time from 0 brightness to full brightness matters, too. So lowering full brightness increases response time for gaming.

I am keeping my eye on products like this. My current TV has a glare issue. We have all blinds closed, yet still get "light leak". Would love to be able to leave the blinds open and watch tv at the same time. However, the price on this would not receive "WAF" (wife approval factor).

[@nzhook]

I have a con to add, it's not big enough for your room, you get those white bars on the side and top of the display wall. (Do you remember when people used to complain about the black bars from 4:3 content). Also loving the inserting yourself into movies/tv, I'm sure it's taking a while to do so good job.

[@paulhibbert]

I was thinking about not doing the movie thing anymore as you're right, it takes ages and the skits hadn;t been getting much love, and then this week there's been loads of comments saying how great they were. Super reassuring, thanks man! The projector actually projects a gigantic image but I hung the screen about 2 inches too low 😫

This looks like a good option for me, as I can't get the size of TV (65-inch or bigger) I want in the master bedroom on the second floor of my property because you won't be able to get the bloody thing round the tight curves of the stairs. I think getting a projector is going to have to be the answer.

[@jimtreats]

Great video as always. I'm currently looking for a UST projector, and screen and have considered all the DLP ones including the AWOL ones. This daylight screen is a fresnel type one (manufactured by Vividstorm?) to get that side rejection of light, which would be perfect for my planned usage but as you point out there is no sign currently of any rollup screens.. I'd need a ceiling/wall mounted pull down one eventually and with no sign of one coming I guess I'll have to go for a more traditional lenticular ALR screen that will only reject light from above :/ One downside of these fresnel screens is as you point out viewing angle so its not suitable for a room where someone could be sat wide off axis from the centre.. I thought i'd read they can be fussier with hot spots too, but yours looks great. Unfortunately I just can't risk suffering from rainbows and sadly a triple laser doesn't eliminate rainbows, it just changes and potentially reduces (or worsens) them. The colour wheel for different colours is replaced by 3 separate lasers for each colour, they still have to fire onto a single DLP chip in series for each colour and it's thats discrepancy that can lead to rainbows in both cases. The only DLP solution to remove rainbows is a triple DLP one any of which make this projector look affordable! If you could go and spend time looking at certain projectors and seeing if you can see rainbows on them then be fairly confident a particular model would be ok for you then that'd be something but that's just not easy to do seemingly, especially for a lot of these brands like AWOL or Formovie :/ The only UST that guarantees not having any rainbow effect are the Epson ones like the LS800, which are triple LCD displays and can drive all colours for all pixels at one point in time. The LS800 is also brighter than the AWOL at 4000 lumens and has actual measured input latency of around 20ms at 60hz, whereas sadly the AWOL latency measurements are not near to the timings that they claim, more like 80ms unfortunately. Sadly the LS800 only does a 2x pixel shift to get 2x1080p resolution instead of the 4 shift of most other ones like this AWOL which gets you closer to a true 4K on screen image. It's all so frustrating, but at these prices its just frightening to take a punt, especially if it involves international shipping (and potential returns) Love your work though, still torn too about what home security cameras to get so will keep an eye out for more of your videos on them!

[@paulhibbert]

Good info dude, thank you. Could you not send the projector back if the rainbow effect is too bad? I know it’s a pain , but it is what I would do if I suffered with it

With these short throw projectors, wouldn't it be a problem placing a big center speaker?

[@paulhibbert]

I suppose you could just put the projector on a cabinet and put the centre speaker in the cabinet 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@46GarageUSA]

????? I just want to SEE this projector 📽️ showing the opening to Star Wars on that daylight screen just once. Even just two seconds of footage. That will tell me how well this projector and the daylight screen do for showing black level and stars ???? Especially with the light coming in the window.

But does it have matter? Apple integration? Home Assistant?

I definitely do not get any rainbow effect on my Epson projector.

This is in JVC DILA price territory but probably more convenient with day time viewing.

[@paulhibbert]

Just googled that, 8K!?! Whoah, would love to see it in action!

[@parawizard]

@@paulhibbert I've only seen the pre 2010 models. 1080p with inky blacks. I am sure the new 8K laser ones are epic. They are front projectors though. I am sure it would be fun if you haven't played with one before. Probably powered zoom, horz/vert lenshift, focus and iris.

Need to use an Nvidia Shield. That remote has IR blaster.

Huge error here. Laser projectors are not immune from Rainbow Effect. This projector is not immune from RBE. Even though it lacks a color wheel it is still a single chip DLP. It still must produce color sequentially. It’s three laser NOT three chip. Instead of a single lights source filtered through a color wheel- its three light sources cycled rapidly. Different technique: same result. It’s just that modern 4K DLPs produces pixels at a pace of 240Hz to make the pixel shifting work. So RBE is much less a problem for MOST people. But the only way to be 100% free of the artifact is to go with a 3 chip projector (Epson/Sony/JVC).

What a huge error, looks fine to me 🥳

Interesting. I was thinking of buying a smart glass projector screen but a new house would have been cheaper. Given your extensive wardrobe I do feel that you could make more effort when appearing in the cutaways, Roger would not be impressed, ho, ho.

Smart glass?? Never even heard of one of those but now I need one!

So how is this different than my vividstorm ALR screen? Details mate!

[@paulhibbert]

The ability to block light from the sides for one thing ;)

[@robzilla69]

@@paulhibbert ok cool, but how?

[@fp30e]

It looks great Paul, but how does it perform with a normal LED projector with a direct throw from, lets say 10ft away. I want my bedroom cinema to look like a cinema with the projector behind me, and not below the screen. Great Vlog as always. Thank you.

[@paulhibbert]

Thanks dude! Unfortunately this particular screen is for short throw projectors only as the material blocks light from above and from the sides. They do a long throw screen for a projector sat behind you, but it will only block light from underneath, not from the sides as far as I know. Cheaper though I think, and will still make a huge difference from just projecting onto a wall or a white screen.

[@ayrtonsenna1134]

I was thinking abou tthe 3500pro , but read couple reviews from users, that it can NOT produce pure white..its mostly pinky, light purply.. .can somebody confirm? or show pic with pure white ?

[@jaychannel8558]

Not true at all. The pink happens when you take a picture of the white with a poor camera. The LTV 3500 Pro is the highest rated UST bar none.

You see Paul, I have access to curtain technology and I'm not afraid to use it. Glare really isn't an issue. Not to say this isn't some cool tech.

For the price of the projector and the screen, you can get a 100 inch TV though

How about 150 inches? 😉

Morning Paul. I have some stuff to throw at govee today. I've had 3 LED Strips. They've all broke with miscoloured lights. Do you know why?
