Playing a Nintendo Switch on a HUGE 120" Screen (BenQ TH671ST Projector)

From 7 inches to 120 inches, how good can the Switch possibly look when it's that big? Can you even play games on a projector with all of that input lag? Let's take a look at the BenQ TH671ST projector and see if it's worth the price.

[@BigAnt_est.1985]

This guy can’t live without his switch, it’s always switch this and switch that. Love the videos.

[@Tazerboy_10]

I have my Switch with me at all times! I usually do not take it to the bathroom because I don't want to accidentally drop it in the toilet or get water damage being near the sink....

[@artoriasoftheabyss1575]

Tazerboy10 Or getting fecal matter all over it

[@cubedmelons876]

Considering the Switch was made specifically to stay with you at all times, I'm not surprised.

I used to work for a Carmike Cinemas. We used to hook up our PS4s to the IMAX projectors. Now that's a sight to behold. Madden was bigger than life.

[@karnagefails333]

Sub Killler Dude, that is pure fucking insanity. I always wanted to (and still do lol) play Mortal Kombat 2 or Street Fighter 2 on a movie theater screen.

[@joshuawilloughby2696]

Karnage Fails I have hooked up my GameCube to a church's projector screen so I could play on the massive screen down below, it was quite fun

[@slum3947]

Dude. Imagine playing Shadow of the Colossus on that 300 inches. Holy shit.

[@TheZero092]

[@GokuInstinct1]

lol I got the remastered version on my PS5. I should try it out on the projector one day

[@rtdundrgrnd]

I game on a projector, it's 5 years old and handles the switch really well. My excuse for not using a dedicated monitor is because my family watched movies on the projector and playing games on the big screen is just so much more satisfying.

[@NirreFirre]

david paredes Same here, haven't had a tv for 10 years (as student used BT and streaming services after that) but a PC and Epson projector. Buying a Switch when both kids show some interest (3 vs wife hehe..) probably later this year

[@TubbyJ420]

projector master race since 2006! ive got a 50" tv and 120" bigscreen in my living room, so i can choose if i want the huge experience. last 2 apartments ive moved into, the first thing i do is scope out the biggest wall and measure the throw distance lol.

[@denniscastro2055]

I wanna know about some game monitors. There I said it.

[@nickcosma5111]

SAME

[@jbuggyps2]

It's nice to know projectors are getting better. Thanks Bob

[@4gbmeans4gb61]

I wonder if using a 4k projector with 1080p would increase the picture quility. I know it works on PC monitors or TVs.

[@jbuggyps2]

4GB MEANS 4GB oh like if it has upconvert like some 4k TV's do?

[@4gbmeans4gb61]

Ya there are some pretty nice upscales nowadays. Or even feeding it a 4k signal and down converting it to 1080p might prodcued a better picture. I dont know enough about this stuff to say if any of it would work haha.

[@jbuggyps2]

Yeah I had a 4k Samsung TV 65 inch curved with 4k upconvert and man the switch looked awesome on that. Zelda was awesome looking. Had to sell it and get a smaller 1080p tv and pay some bills this winter.

[@4gbmeans4gb61]

Ya i just got the LG 55" OLED c7 best picture iv ever seen. After watching 4k hdr movies for a few days and coming back to my PC monitor thats 3440x1440 100hz it looks like shit lol. Even 480p videos up scaled to 4k on the LG looks great. Been trying the 4k oled in gaming but my GTX 1080 even at 2164mhz can't seem to keep 60 fps. But god do the games look good in OLED 4k.

[@francosanchez8556]

i wanna know about some gaming monitors :)

[@bobjones5472]

me too

[@bigcheesepuff1]

I am particularly interested in a monitor for the Switch. - I think that OLED would have the lowest input lag. Higher refresh proabably doesnt help. Switch is NVidia so... GSync? I think there is a lot here to consider.

[@eliinthewolverinestate6729]

Me too. Retro games arcades and newer consoles. One monitor to rule them all. New TVs and some monitors make some retro games almost unplayable.

[@ist577]

I'd love to use a projector when I'm having a game night with friends

[@DeathRoyale]

Exactly What I need for my living room glad you got to review this

[@zachb4561]

I have a Mitsubishi projector I got in like 2009 (for much more than 800 dollars lol), and since I got it that was almost all I played games on. I project it onto an 11.5ft screen from some decent white fabric, turn the lights down off, and it is pure magic. Never had an issue with input lag or off colors. Putting the projector parallel to the screen helps too (hanging from a ceiling mount). One of the first things I did when I got a Switch was play Mariokart 8 Deluxe on it (never owned a Wii U, so this is my first HD Nintendo console), and that is one of my favorite gaming memories now. The games look so good, be they 1080, 900, or 720p. Great to have such a large screen for having friends over and playing splitscreen too!

[@connor4435]

Thank you for the satisfaction clip at the end Bob

[@avidwriter2882]

I imagine that'd be damn sweet for movies.

[@PixelGameSquad]

I have a HUGE Tv screen, that is about all I have of huge things

Iv'e got a 160 inch 4K DOLBY VISION, Smart Black, HDR 200Hz Projector from Epson and a Deep White Screen It's too fucking good.

[@thekidmiles6524]

Michael Scott is laughing in the background

[@fryke]

Ok, I'm three years late, but still, maybe this helps someone. I've been using projectors for about 20 years now (the first one was *very* dark and 800x600 pixels, but we lived in DVD and VHS resolution back then, anyway...) mainly for home cinema purposes. But if you _do_ have your apartment set up to use a projector, anyway, _of course_ you'll want to play Mario on that big screen. And with a projector that can do 1080p/60Hz (and nothing more, because then you lose brightness, mainly - or a lot of money), I only have to roll down the shutters on _very_ bright daylight. Basically everything's fine from November through February at any time of the day where I live. It's a five year old Epson, and I'm sure current Full HD projectors for less than a 1000$ should be fine for bright daylight by now as well. For the Switch, which doesn't go above 1080p, anyway, that's perfection imho.

[@nowonmetube]

*Image is distorted* "the sides of the picture were perfectly straight" 🤦‍♂️

[@kylespade5958]

I have the BenQ with a 100" screen for my game room. All under 1G, pretty simple install. I don't notice any lag, and the picture is really great. The projector hangs on the ceiling and I put in an outlet next to it. I ran the cables through the wall and above the ceiling. I also have the surround sound that makes it all feel cinematic. Totally recommend it.

[@SmartedPAnda]

I'm surprised you guys don't have a ton more subscribers. Great content mang.

[@gianrivera2293]

I'll buy that projector off of you for tree fiddy.

[@stickelback1]

Watched your videos in class and got in trouble it was worth it

[@larrykozlowski6305]

The rated refresh on most monitors are actually higher than they say it is. I can't remember what but I think the response time is just the delay on updating the panel, it doesnt take into account the lag from the input driver. Wendell on Level1Techs has done a lot of refresh rate testing and has shown that a monitor that advertises 2ms is actually closer to 6-12ms.

[@sameerkhatri588]

response time and input lag are separate measurements

[@thekidmiles6524]

Bob : Size matters a lot! Michael Scott : _tHatS wHat sHE sAId

[@neuro-A-typical]

Hey man. Great Video. I have been using the BenQ w1070 for my pc and consoles for nearly 4 years now. Absolutely love it. I use a 90inch screen, i have run it in eco mode since new, I can game with the blinds up and a moderate amount of light coming in, I have over 4500 hours on the original globe and its still going strong. I was so glad i went the projector route over a more expensive, smaller screen. Even retro stuff looks decent on it. I totally agree with what you have said on here. Anyone who has toyed with the idea, Seriously try it, You wont regret it.

[@Kaos3ce]

A 200 buck wowoto H8 is just as good with my switch, plus it is LED so it does not get hot or loud, been real happy with it and No input lag.

[@Noboruu]

Awsome video, awsome projector, awsome switch, and as always, awsome wulff. Btw wulff, the limited color range default is not a fault with the nintendo switch itself, but with HDMI, you always have to do the same with computers when connecting from HDMI, but when you use DVI or display port it generally defaults to full color range

[@badnetcode6228]

Id usually have no use for a projector but I can see something like this, four friends, Mario kart and pizza being a great night.

[@Kentama]

I have a BenQ projector. It's great. It's lasted me almost a decade, they're pretty robust. I mainly use it for watching movies, but occasionally for certain games. It's awesome to play on a huge stonkin' screen, but for games where the camera moves a lot, you can pretty easily get motion-sickness, so that's something to keep in mind. The bulbs have to be replaced too and they're pretty pricey, though I actually haven't had to change mine since I got it, so it depends on how much you use it I guess. It can also be a bit of work to find a good placement for the projector, and to get it set up with your sound system. Staring into the bulb can also be dangerous for your eyes I think, so you have to be careful with kids or pets. They're great for portability though, and they don't take up much room either, so that's a plus.

[@shamrock4578]

Thanks for this vid! I have an epson projector I use my wii u on and love it alot. Everyone that comes over falls in love with mario kart again. I do feel some games are better on a monitor (horizon zero dawn).

[@greensoccer8123]

Also, a budget gaming monitor review would be awesome.

[@blobjob13]

I would love to see a monitor video maybe which one you should buy or monitors vs tvs

[@gio235rulez]

I actually purchased two projectors (one from Amazon and one from eBay); however, I returned the one I got from Amazon (seemed too dim for my liking). The one from eBay was noticeably brighter, which made the colors seem more accurate. I still gotta figure out how to fix the trapezoid effect you had mentioned in the video. I can't remember if I tested my Switch on this projector, but I hooked up my PS4 and surprisingly it looks great. My PS3 on the other hand, not the best quality (referring to pixels). Might have to hook up my Switch and see how it works out. (Note: I did connect my Switch to the Amazon projector, but when playing Splatoon 2 or LOZ:BOTW I noticed some drops in frame.) Overall I mainly use mine to stream some videos or movies through my Chromecast or PS3, but like I said I might have to give the Switch another try on the big screen. Great video by the way! 👍

[@david029014]

Those colors you see around white lettering is adjustment you need to adjust panels, to minimize

[@chacononline]

One of the most underrated youtubers

[@jasonisourhero]

I was into all this more than 10 years ago , i had a decent projector for the Xbox 360/Ps3 era , but had to replace the bulb every couple of hundred hours which was pricey , the colour pallet then had an issue which needed a replacement and i kept falling asleep and leaving it on all night , not very practical but its good for a night gaming with friends

[@martinvibart5840]

You should make a video about monitors / TV's for gaming, of every price range

[@Shane101A]

I game exclusively on a 100” projector, single player and online cod and I love it. I just picked this projector up and I’m going to start gaming at 135” 😄😁

[@WizKoulikov]

I love BenQ projectors. I've had a mini I've been using for about 10 years. Been wanting to upgrade but I haven't had the need/extra funds for it.

[@andythedm3347]

Looks pretty cool. This would be sweet for a big Mario party or smash bros night with lots of people but I could never justify purchasing one. Definitely would like to hear what you think about other monitors

[@SwoleCalibur]

SwitcherooShow Playing Mario Kart this way is really a blast. We do it all the time. 4 player splitscreen but every screen is just as big as a large tv.

[@andythedm3347]

Mario kart is another good one. But I guess what I meant was big multiplayer games in general. I do most of my gaming by myself (giggity) so a big projector with that sort of capabilities isn't really needed.

[@crepedoddles6148]

I just got the Switch... I wasn't expecting an argument in my mind about getting a new monitor... I just want to rescue Hyrule ;-;

[@Derpplup]

Sees owl boy * I'm gonna need new pants*

[@potatotactics1398]

What I use is a really small projector and one the really small 3rd party docks, and it all fits in my case cables and all, I even have a small battery pack in there too that over doubles that battery life. It's the butterfox large model that can fit the ac adapter easily, so it might not work in other cases, but it all fits in mine, and it is amazing for travel! I would never use it for home use though, unless maybe if the TV was being used. One great thing though is I can point it at the ceiling and play in bed or something, other than that I would not use a projector for gaming.

[@Eyedoc81]

I play my PS4 and Switch on a 120" screen in my basement using an Epson 2040 projector. I never notice any lag (don't really play shooters, though), and my friends are always blown away by it. Hard to go back to a small screen.

[@corinneambler4165]

The projector would be awesome for the multiplayer in Stardew when that comes out.

[@refraggedbean]

I love projector gaming, mind you I do not play on it daily because I have to practice for my ESports team (splatoon 2) but I do love to play on it often

[@empowermph]

yea..Ive had a few projectors, the entry level BenQ, Sony Bravia, then LED revolution of Qumi, LG..now ultra short throw..bingo. you must the patience to align it once on your wall, get the contrast & sharpness right, & you'll never go back to regular tv limitations again. especially these LED lamps, they last forever, & if your wall is the right color..i went w/ Glidden 'silver screen'..it will look like your wall is a huge tv or theater itself. can't go back. now, I am over 16:9 ratio, so I do have 21:9, 32:9 & VR setups, but as a tv, & especially for Switch, its so good.

[@elenapic6859]

Nice review of a projector, I'm kind of looking for one, so this might be an option to play when students decide not to show :P Specially because it has also VGA. In my experience some devices just have too many problems with hdmi

[@ryanh1330]

I've always felt gaming monitors (or a low input lag tv if you can find one) has been essential personally

[@morganminecraftlegion9101]

I move my dock between my living room and bedroom, swapping between my family's 720p 30Hz TV w/ 5% overscan and my 1080p 60Hz monitor with no overscan issues. Yeah, I have to adjust the overscan settings every time. Worth it though. What's not worth it is using Sheikah Sensor + to locate decayed guardians for a quick battle. I hate having to time paries to an exact second.

[@YeezusTaughtYou]

I'm actually on the look for a gaming monitor. I think a video on the would be very helpful.

[@joshuasmith3852]

Looks cool.

[@greensoccer8123]

Was the intro a pun? It’s a-me-ddiately? If not, that’s the greatest unintentional pun of all time.

Did that long ago I have a 120 screen and projector that shoots 4k and it looks beautiful best looking thing I have seen in a long time on the big screen

[@TheZarpia]

The little gaming i do, i do it on a 65 inch screen. Is 4k but the switch is not. And i don’t care. On a big screen i think i will care if my games didn’t look as good as on my tv. I don’t think i have the need for a 120” screen.

This is the second best gaming projector after the HT2050A. The HT2050A does away with the RGB colors appearing up close

[@ChristopherMorss]

Bob, sorry to say it, but your monitor doesn't truly have an input lag reading of ~2ms. :( Technically, only the upper portion of your monitor has this amount of input lag, the centre will be around ~10ms and the bottom, ~18ms. Your monitor has an actual average input lag of ~10ms (which is still excellent, my TN 1ms response time panel has the same average input lag). There is yet to be a monitor released with an input lag lower than 9ms. A projector with an input lag of ~17ms is actually damn excellent, that's 0.017 of a second and 99.9% of people won't notice the difference between 10ms and 15ms, hence you didn't. :)

[@Omega_thehusky]

Christopher Morss nice that's great to hear I found a projector u want to get with 16 ms so hearing this makes me even happier i found one

[@ChristopherMorss]

Thomas Nice! Which projector were you looking at? Just make sure that the 16ms is the average input latency and not for the first line of pixels. If it is a 16ms average though, it's pretty good and you shouldn't notice any input lag. :)

[@sameerkhatri588]

There is a difference between input lag and response time. You and he don't know what your talking about. The 1ms response time for your monitor is accurate but that's for RESPONSE time not input lag.

[@Keith2XS]

They are great for split screen and retro games!

[@zzzvita]

yeah my projectors top right of screen is blurry while bottom left is crisp sometimes

[@618mcguire8]

There is a projector specifically for the switch it has a dock built right into it

[@ItisIako]

Can you do a video on cheapest gaming Monitors? Cheap but good quality

[@Skudaproductions]

I game on a Panasonic PT-VZ575NU projector. Only shrink it down for classic consoles.

[@Erictechie]

I've played MMOs for years now and through that just prefer a monitor for gaming. Less eye movement and it usually makes the game more enjoyable due to the higher ppi, refresh rate, and faster input.

[@benschram]

For me, being severely vision impaired, a 32" LCD TV is the biggest I ever want to game on a console. I find smaller the better as I still have to sit very close to see what's going on. So sitting 1-2 feet from a 23-27" monitor is far more accessible for me to see the finer details on the screen. Higher pixel density, low response rate and deeper colours trump size every single time. I have a 70" 1080 LCD Sharp TV but I never play games on it, too much lag. and pixel density is terrible.

[@carlosrios7088]

get the homegear screen from amazon for $100. its worth it. a screen will make the image even better. and the homegear one is automatic.

[@megustachuletas3956]

I tried DLP projector, the color shift killed it for me. I had to get an LCD projector instead. We play switch, PS4, PC and mostly use it for movies. With that said, we don't use it all that much since we have a 60" tv that still looks better that sits behind the drop down 120" screen for the projector.

[@TheStevedie]

If I had a decent projector I'd set that puppy up outside and game on the side of my house LOL

[@potipota9242]

But you wouldn't be able to play on daytime

[@TheStevedie]

[@cptnquick]

I am definitely not a “projector guy” lol

[@technologyaddict1857]

Do you have to buy expensive replacements bulbs for the projector

[@WednesdayMan]

I want it. I want a 130 inch screen just so I can: watch movies, Play games and watch youtube in 1080p

[@justinhalen2126]

if they let you keep the projector for free, isnt it technically a sponsored video?

[@jasonsaunders01]

How about split screen multiplayer? Seems like that would be ideal for MK8/Rocket League

[@trinitysingularityzombiech7836]

VGA is way more common than dvi still today I wish video cards would come with VGA instead of a dvi port

[@MobileDecay]

I wish my Oculus Go allowed hdmi input so I could play Switch in a theater or on the moon. 😁

[@digitalfruitcake24]

If they said it has 16.7ms then they're claiming it has no input lag because if your 60hz screen is perfect it will have 16.7ms of lag roughly since that's the time it takes to see a frame at 60fps! So that stat was bs. The input lag added by the electronics in the project would be much less than that actually (so its even better than what it stated) :) Looks awesome to play switch on

[@bincks2880]

Is rather have a monitor besides my tv for gaming so i can have both. I'm not interested in a projector at all but it's pretty cool for those that are

[@mpetrides]

Playing ARMS or Mario Kart on a 100+ inch screen is amazingly immersive, particularly when playing with friends. Would I want to do all my gaming on my home theater set up? Probably not. But some games work really well in super size. Speaking of home theater, how does the BenQ projector work for movies?

[@oh6012]

I use a short throw projector on my switch and it's perfect for things like mario kart and other 4 player games. But yea, not gonna be great for everyone.
