So my trusty projector died after 20 years, so I have been out of the game for a long time on that tech. It was a great unit and did 1080 and would still be using it if it didn't die.
So doing the research now and lurking in a few AV forums and wow, I feel like the NOOBs that come here and get deer in headlights look trying to research this.
One poster says DLP is better and is more quiet and better blacks, and the next person says LCD is better and more quiet and better blacks. So which is it?
Then I find out that the projectors 20 year later are still just 1080p.
The 4K that are out there (unless you spend obscene amounts of money) are not true 4K and do pixel shifting to mimic 4K. LCD pixel shifts twice while DLP pixel shifts 4 times from what I have gathered. They have a 1080 chip and I guess the thing oscillates around to fill a 4K worth of display and our minds put it together as one image.
So I wanted to see if anyone here uses a projector for that big screen image and if so, what do you have and why?
The costs have come down a lot over 20 years and I could pick up a 1080p at a decent price. The Faux 4K are double and it is worth it? And then DLP or LCD?
