    Room within a room in a garage conversion, and the scope screen just landed

    There is a garage conversion build doing the rounds on r/hometheater that is worth a read for the construction detail alone. It is a room within a room: 100mm RW3 in the cavities, Soundbloc plasterboard, two layers on isolation rails for the two exterior walls. Then on top of the shell, four...

    Someone built a whole travel projector kit for work trips - what would you pack?

    Someone on r/hometheater posted their travel rig this week and it landed closer to home than most build threads do. The problem they were solving was not picture quality, it was luggage. They took a projector on a work trip once, loved having a real screen in a place that had no TV or only a...

    98 and 115-inch TVs keep arriving, and the UST answer is still price per inch

    ZDNET refreshed its big-screen TV roundup this week and the framing has shifted in a way worth noticing. It is no longer 85 inches at the top of the chart. There are 98-inch classes from several brands, 115-inch sets, and reference to 130-inch panels existing. The cinema-sized television is now...

    Hisense PX4 Pro lands at $3,999 with FreeSync Premium - a grand over the PX3-Pro

    So the PX4 Pro is finally in stores after that teaser back in December, and the number that jumped out at me is the price. $3,999.99, roughly a thousand over what the PX3-Pro was going for. For that you get 3,500 ANSI lumens instead of 3,000, 118% BT.2020 coverage, Delta E rated at 0.9 or lower...

    A Cybertruck with a 20,000 lumen Panasonic on the roof is a real product now

    Panasonic's projector arm is sponsoring the first six of these things. Illumibot calls the vehicle an IllumiBeast, it is a Cybertruck kitted out for projection mapping, and each one carries a PT-MZ20K under the MEVIX banner: 20,000 lumens, 3LCD, laser, WUXGA. Read that spec line again. WUXGA...

    Another budget projector review with no brightness number anywhere in it

    The Aurzen EAZZE D1R Air review went up this week from HomeTheaterReview's editor and as a piece of writing it's perfectly fair. Portable enough to carry between rooms, auto focus and keystone that work well enough to be watching something within a couple of minutes, Full HD, Roku built into it...

    Aurzen's EAZZE D1R Air has Roku built in and no lumen figure anywhere

    Home Theater Review has a positive writeup of the Aurzen EAZZE D1R Air, pitched as a sub-$200 portable. Full HD panel, autofocus and auto keystone that reportedly land quickly, small enough to move between rooms, and Roku built into the projector rather than hanging off an HDMI port. That last...

    TI is shrinking DLP mirrors to 4.5 microns - and 120Hz 4K may come with it

    ProjectorCentral has a good breakdown of what Texas Instruments is doing to the actual mirrors, and it is more interesting than the usual chip refresh. The line most of us have seen already is the High Efficiency Pixel design in XGIMI's Titan, a 0.78-inch device with 9-micron mirrors doing...

    XGIMI TITAN Noir Max claims 10,000:1 native contrast - with an iris doing work

    XGIMI opened orders on the TITAN Noir series back in April and I still keep coming back to the spec sheet. The Max is the one people care about: up to 7,000 ISO lumens, an RGB triple-laser engine, IMAX Enhanced alongside Dolby Vision and HDR10+, a claimed Delta E of 0.8 with 110% BT.2020...

    Google TV showing up on Vankyo, Epson and XGIMI projectors - did it fix apps?

    Google has been listing smart projectors from Vankyo, Epson and XGIMI alongside its TVs as Google TV devices, and that is the corner of the projector market I have been waiting to shake out. For years the app situation was the whole problem: some Android build nobody supported, a store full of...

    Dolby Vision on a projector is still nearly an AWOL only thing - why?

    Digging through old firmware notes reminded me that AWOL had its laser projectors formally certified by Dolby Labs a couple of years back, and then shipped the feature as a free over the air update. You updated over Wi-Fi, a Dolby Vision option appeared in the menu, and the logo turned up once...

    XGIMI's Elfin Flip 4K is $999 - but both new models are 1,600 lumens

    XGIMI opened orders on the Elfin Flip Laser and the Elfin Flip 4K on July 15, and the first thing that jumps out is that both are quoted at 1,600 ISO lumens. Brightness is not what the extra money buys. The Flip Laser is $799, 1080p, with a 10,000:1 dynamic contrast figure. The Flip 4K is $999...
