Their main draw card is a bigger screen. They are always going to be a poor cousin for many areas. They also take over a room usually. You have it backwards mate, quality projectors sh!t all over TV's for picture quality and size. When it comes to movie viewing projectors are the premium option without any doubt, no contest at all IMHO. Beautifully clean and natural picture with contrast and blacks that no LCD TV can come anywhere near. Even high end Plasma is blown away by a JVC projector, its not even close. That's why I never view movies on my TV's and never will. As for taking over the room, hardly. The screen, and the projector if need be, can disappear completely into the ceiling at the touch of a button. Try that with a big TV. Even if you only use a motorised retractable screen the setup its a lot less dominating when retracted than a big black flat panel on the wall. How dominating would a 100" plus flat panel be sitting on the wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say NO but everyone said yes for nano tech The IPS doesn't bother me because it will have to be better than hecto. As for the new LG it has Hybrid Log Gamma. (HLG) which is going to used on Satellite soon This TV has to be 99% compatible on the Sat Side and a good Viewing for 4K movie. It Is,impossible to have everything.

Easy My wife and my Daughter have help me on Major Projects like Building Houses. The wife mixed the complete cement mix (16,000 Bricks for my mate the brickie) Cement Mixer for a 38 Sq House all by herself and now my Strong Daughter (24 years Old) that can pick up TWO Cement bags and put them on her shoulder will help once again. Just think 8 Satellite Dishes and the Big 3M one had a BIG Hole and she Dug it and all I saw was the dirt Flying out of the Hole so picking up a small 86 inch 20 times Tv will be no problem for us.

The Hecto has been Good for this as Once I adjusted it it was the Same for 3 Years. I want just to relax and Watch MOVIES!! The Hecto was a projector, and a VERY fiddly one to set up compared to conventional front projector which would take you only a tiny fraction of the time you spent mucking around with the Hecto. Did you have to calibrate the Hecto for every movie, of cause you didn't, you probably never calibrated it. I calibrate my projectors about once a year, and thats not even nesesary. Most people just plug them in and use them without any calibration, just like they do with their TV's. Its only the fussy people that worry about display calibration. The only projectors that required constant adjustment where old triple gun CRT units, modern digital projectors are set and forget, just like the Hecto. So if you like to fiddle you will be disappointed. ;-) As for geometry issues, its clear you have never seen a good projector because there simply are none, vertical and horizontal lines are dead straight. All you have to do is get the screen and projector level and you are good to go. The protector doesn't even need to be vertically or horizontally centred, the lens has adjustments to correct and you dont even have to get out of your chair, just push a button on the remote and fixed. Once adjusted there is no reason to touch it again unless you move the screen or projector. In comparison the Hecto was an absolute nightmare to set up. For day time or lights on viewing a projector is FAR from ideal, just like the Hecto. However in the dark a good projector will deliver image quality and a viewing experience no TV or the Hecto can compete with. Its therefore a good idea to have a TV for normal viewing and a projector for movies and for the price of an 86" TV you can have both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aus 65'' lists "Contrast Enhancement Film -Yes '' as well as nano technology -yes ; the 86 doesn't for either .. Its not like a ce like Lg to leave out something on its site ; something that can help flog product A new technology like this is always going to go to the volume product which is in direct competition with other ce's similar sizes .. read as destroy Samsung Sony certainly would be the one Ide look at ; its unfortunate its specs page leave a lot to be desired ; they don't even give a clue what hdmi version '' HDCP (2.2 (for HDMI1/2/3/4));" which just lists the copy protection but not what hdmi version The lg's you can deduce is probably hdmi2.0b as it lists HLG HDR which requires .b not .a . No word on nano tech either that I could find.. If you do save up for a uhd player ; you will be glad you have 2.0b rather than 2.0a as that will be necessary for the next version of HDR10 - the variable scene by scene rather than the current state of the art static metadata you get with 2.0a ..

jutta Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 My boss finished 4th at Bathurst in the early 80's with Harrington in a commodore. He drove Torana's prior to that. Blackman, it sounds like you have only seen **** PJ setup's and are dismissing them because of that. I myself like most others here have only seen **** Hecto setups and they looked damn awlful to me. Perhaps it's a two way street here. Calibration is really only necessary after new globe run in. And I'd suggest it's a small percentage of Audio/Videophile people like those on this forum that even do it just once. The majority would't even calibrate once just like when buying a big TV. Turn it on and most just say WOW and sit down and watch. The HDFury that was mentioned will feed pretty much anything to your Hecto or a PJ etc for years to come via updates as tech moves forward.

As for the HSV GTS-R at $160,000 Its big bread but a Good Car and we have cars more expensive them that and you wonder why they are people that want to steal them. We have had two attempts and Both were stopped due to my security System .

You'll notice the line one the protractor pointing straight out is 90 degress (This is 90 degrees from the wall, or perpendicular, or "your seat") The confusing bit is we call this 0 degrees off center (or 0 degrees away from straight in front of the TV.) Next imagine a line from the middle of the flat point of the protractor (This is the point where all the lines on the protractor converge to a single point - the little semi circle in the middle) Imagine that line out from that point to the side chairs (you can use string or dowel but in this case just eyeball it) Might radiate through the 60? Or the 50? This is the angle from the wall. You want the angle from the perpendicular line (90) So 90-60 = 30 degrees off center. Its easy to demonstrate, hard to explain. Hope that makes sense.

Did not say that at the CES report. It is strange. Usually the flagship would have every bell and whistle. My understanding is it is actually just a thin film that is sprayed? over the screen. All LG screens have some sort of TM widescreen enhancement technology. Personally it sounds like marketing bs to me. The sort of thing where the tech heads say they've managed a 0.6% increase in the colour gamut (is that a tautology). Marketing department trademark it Nano Technology and put in some swoopy graphics on the brochure (perhaps some zoomed in pictures of big bright atoms zooming into the screen), and the legal department says just make sure you only ever use wishy washy terms like "improves". But it is strange they couldn't get it onto the 'bigger' sets - perhaps its just a manufacture capability thing. Regards Peter Gillespie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the comments above this should make very little difference to the viewing experience for your family. It may be slightly less bright if you kept switching seats during a movie but once you sit down you would likely not notice.
