I don't understand why projectors have such terrible latency. Especially DLP ones. The micromirror device has almost instant response so in theory the latency shouldn't be that bad.

I love Dan's chill yet spicy vibes. Seriously a perfect balance of energy that sneaks up on you and then smacks you in the face with a sick burn.

[@lewfec7336]

I had the lenovo tablet with a built in digital laser projector. Even though it wasn't the brightest or the highest resolution it was such a universal projector compared to a budget 1080p conventional projector now. If anything brightness was on par between them but the focusing range and keystoneing was super powerful on the lenovo tablet. I remember projecting it fully on a 20ft shipping container as a screen and you could focus till crispy where as the modern one only goes to about 100inches. I Would love to see a modern portable 1080p dlp with a phone app for digital focus and keystoning with built in Google TV so it can be run off of a mobile hotspot and powerbank

[@Punky260]

Well, this was quite a small amount of information about the image quality of the projector. I know, it's just a short circuit video, but it left me with the desire to know more. And see more videos with Dan - great hosting :)

[@VetBodGaming]

Videos with Dan are perfect for when I want to be relaxed but also learn something. He has the vibes of the cool high school English teacher

[@adamaref9047]

The KZbin video may have been streaming at 1080p if you were not logged into a KZbin premium account.

[@aikimaster]

Dan is the Bob Ross of tech demo's, and I love EVERYTHING about it 👍

[@Teejito]

Also worth noting that there are screens solely made for short throw projectors that really do help more than normal ones to keep ambient light away. So this projector could potentially look a bit better.

[@jonrainbow123]

Dan just makes me calm. I need a lofi mix with quotes from him. Like, the whole world is burning around us currently but if he tells me its all cool im solid.

[@kensyre]

I believe this would look better on an ALR screen in all conditions. That performance in the light is noticeable. Unless I’m missing something.

[@deathchimp2]

Looking at Amazon, you can get an 85" Samsung 4k OLED for $1,600. I have to believe that's going to look better in every single circumstance

[@thylordloper8175]

@@deathchimp2 Samsungs largest OLED is the 595B at 65" at about $2000 I believe you were looking at their Q60B which is an 85 in QLED at $1600, while it still will deliver a great viewing experience it is a different technology and definitely doesnt achieve the true blacks and dynamic range of an oled. While the projector shown here is not a good example of products available, Linus' epson ls12000 produces a quality comparable to mini led which would cost multiple times more while also only providing a smaller maximum screen size so while not perfect for everyone projectors definitely still have a place at home theaters.

[@woolybear]

Dan has such a calm demeanor and makes an excellent front-man, and cool video too!

[@N0N0111]

Man Dan said "Cool" a lot in this video

[@polodoskyz]

why would you keep cutting the part where he adjusts the projector, it's literally why I would clicked the video

[@jkraft81]

Dans videos continue to be my favorite lately. Great reviews and insight that you would really want, and also adds a great personalable spin to the process.

[@GiannisTsolakidis]

The thing with "Viewport resolution" is that the Android TV UI is rendered on 1080p (KZbin App, Play/Pause icons, thumbnails etc) but the actual video is in 4K, IF the manufacturer has implemented a video pipeline with a decoder being done on their chip etc. P.S. Dan is great, i love watching him, but he looks a bit anxious.

[@jagtan13]

Projectors are realy unique, I had a special weekday ritual for me. I had an hp mediasmart pc and an optima 3lcd dlp projector and i'd watch Inuyasha early morning before school at like 5 in the morning. I was an early riser as a kid but now i'm just a night owl 😆

[@bobbins53]

I wish you would just leave the lights off when viewing the projector working.

[@xirtus]

its adorable how nervous dan is. Someone should make him start the show by screaming, "What time is it? Short Circuit TIME! I can't hear you! SHORT CIRCUIT TIME!"

[@deathab0ve]

I have never understood once why anyone ever would want a projector. I just see screens as pure better in every facite, but one. Size. Fun fact you can get closer to a screen and it will be perceived bigger.

[@JCUDOS]

If you place producing quality content above optimizing watch times, a price point or price range, for whichever country (pick one, US or Canada would be most logical), should always be the first info we get when possible (If the price isn't available yet, just say that). Please start saving our time.

[@gannonbest7251]

Something to mention is Ultra short throw projectors should have different screen because of the direction of light refraction from the screen. Atleast thats what the marketing on the projector screens I bought said.

Pretty sure the 1920x1080*2.00 just means that it's 3840*2160, but with a 2x scale factor. Like they render the UI of youtube at the 1080p size, and scale it up. The video itself seems to play at the full resolution.

AaaNd I repeat: a woofer is NOT a sub. It’s called a subwoofer for a reason. It does sub bass, for extra oomph. Also at this size its safe to assume there is a tweeter and a mid-low unit. Please stop calling a woofer a sub though. It’s a different thing and it just sounds like you have no clue. That can’t be the idea.

Hey guys, great video as always. I just wanted to shout out the Hisense l9g trichroma laser ultra short throw projector. I work as an installer and recently Ive put in like 9 of them now and they look amazing. Its a good deal too running around 5k for a screen and projector combo for 120 inch screen. They also have a 100 inch version.

[@justinbeamon6624]

Have you installed the Formovie Theater? I've been curious about it, it won a UST shootout this year over the L9G.

[@xeon2k8]

5k is way too expensive unless you are quite into it, there are "decent" options in the ballpark of 2k-ish for the projector alone, like Xiaomi or even better Formovie that Justin mentioned

[@Nabeelco]

Why TF does a brand new product have Android 9 on it?! It should have 13, or 12 minimum. Crazy... plus an instant deal-breaker.

[@jullit31]

ikr? Android 9 was released over 4 years ago 🤯

[@Peace22_]

NexiGo has strong products as far as I know. I got one of their more budget options awhile ago, but ended up going with an ETOE projector. The ETOE was cheaper and seemed to have a more pleasing UI and ended up being cheaper finding a really good deal. Both were 4k projectors, and NATIVE 1080p. Many of the budget "4K" projectors on Amazon are not even native 1080p. The budget NexiGo I got was very budget feeling in quality, but nothing unexpected. Both did a great job on the 4k upscaling, but this is something to be wary of because it won't always work with every input/connection. I haven't experienced much of a problem with this on the software/codec/video not being supported side, but I have seen that the Amazon Fire Stick will not go higher than 1080p connected, and the Roku stick sort of does it at 4K "HDR" but only 30Hz definitely still notice the difference however. For like $150 I have upscaled 4K with enough brightness for a beginner setup into projectors.

[@samanthastevens4197]

I don't think Dan would get upset if someone set him on fire. He is so chill - Love it. Next time Linus has to call tech support for firmware on his light switches, he should make Dan call - he would stay calm as a 🥒.

[@mr702s]

Can tell its not a very bright projector from the ambient light spill on the screen interfering with the projection. Like it's looks really bad in this video... edit: $2600 for this, no way in hell, I'd get a brighter Epson instead for around the same price.

[@omairkk]

so what happens after 25k hours of use? does nexigo offer replacement parts ? or does it become e-waste ?

[@Ancientreapers]

What's the response (input lag) time? I've looked everywhere and no one, not even the company or in the video, is listing it. Is it 0-10ms? Is it 10-20ms? The fact the company is keeping quiet about usually it usually means the input lag is on the higher end.

[@DuyNguyen-yx2vd]

I legit thought the information book at the beginning was the entire projector.

[@ulrar]

We have a projector pointed at a mirror to project on the ceiling in the bedroom, above the bed which is great. Would love to replace it with a 'good' one, but to justify that it'd need to be able to be pointed at the ceiling directly, without needing that annoying mirror. Can laser projectors be pointed up I wonder, do they not have the same heat issues as normal ones do ?
