How big is your TV?

[nakedfrog]

Didn't think a projector would be that common, but quite a lot of peeps here seem to have one.

This is ATOT, riddled with geeks, nerds, and other degenerates.

Living room: 60" Sharp Elite PRO-X5FD
Basement: 92" 1080p projector which needs to be upgraded due to bulbs being hard to find.

I pulled the trigger on a 120" Silver Ticket woven from Amazon. It was a warehouse one in "Excellent shape" for $330. That was less than a brand new 110" one. It's probably pushing the boundaries of comfort @ 12' seating distance...but go big or go home, right?



I did consider Spandex, but by the time I bought the material, built the frame, bought crushed felt and lined the outside of the border, ect...it was just worth it to buy for the $$.

Nah 12' will be perfect. I'm about 13-14 feet from a 120" screen and I would have gone bigger if I could have.

And minimum wage around here is $100k.

65"... LG 65UH8500

 

[boomerang]

My son works there so he alerted me. If there is a schedule he isn't aware of it. Periodically the inventory manager pulls the display models and marks them down. My guess is that it's a 2016 model getting replaced by 2017 but that would just be a guess.

Thanks!

It's less about size, and more about quality for TV's imo. LG 65" OLED for main viewing. I have yet to see anything beat it. But since CES just happened, I'm sure it's around the corner.

 

[Rifter]

55" panny plasma in the living room and a old 32" LCD in the bedroom.

 

[Ferzerp]

I had a 70" vizio, but got tired of the subpar picture quality and upgraded to a 65" LG B6 OLED.

 

[brianmanahan]

27 inches

 

[poofyhairguy]

60 inch last gen Panny plasma in livingroom, 65 inch second to last gen plasma in the media room, 50 inch Samsung plasma in the bedroom, 32 inch Vizio mounted in the kitchen.

when I had reset the Smart Hub to fix an issue where the apps wouldn't launch, typing in a 40 character password for my account isn't fun with that remote and a virtual keyboard.

You said smart hub so I presume Samsung. I have had the same issue with Amazon Video not launching and a quicker fix was to unplug the tv for a few seconds. It worked once, hopefully it works again next time it happens... hopefully it never happens again but it has been twice so far (first time I did a full tv reset, as the smart hub reset was insufficient).

60" going any bigger id just get a projector

 

[dave_the_nerd]

32" 720p in the living room that we never use. (It's ~8 years old.)
22" 1080p in the workout room.

Both Samsung, both purchased at Costco. The 22" gets a lot more use.

 

[MongGrel]

Still running a 47" Olevia 747i as an extended screen with the Dell wide 2560 x 1080 monitor in the front room.

Have a Hitachi 37" Alpha class 720P LCD in the bedroom I picked up for around $200 bucks at Sams awhile back that works for me, is very adequate just for the bedroom to me.

Just gave away two identical 24" Westinghouse LED LCD HDTVs (1080P) the last two days... because... I replaced them with a pair of 40" 4K UHD HDR TVs, used as my PC monitors for my two PCs.

Good screen size, and relatively inexpensive. Love the screen real-estate. Plenty of room for a huge browser window, surrounded by smaller ancillary windows.

A W1070 more than serves my needs and is FAR cheaper than any HDTV I purchased previously. I wish I had cleaned it once though. Bulb might of lasted longer.

I love projectors now, my W1070 is in my bedroom above my head projecting onto a screen in front of my bed. I wish Projector tech progressed as fast as HDTV is.

 

[thebestMAX]

42" Panasonic Plasma. 10 years old, lots of hours ( Almost 18,000 last check) and hope it never dies, dont know what I could replace it with. thebestTV ever. I would have liked a bigger screen but at the time I bought a 50" was almost $800 more.

 

[Majcric]

55" Panasonic ST30 in living room
46" Panasonic S1 bedroom
32" Sony HS-420 bedroom

 

[RLGL]

55" Samsung LED about 5 years old
Got my first TV with a remote inn 2002

 

[BUTCH1]

47", bought back in Feb/'08, don't ask me what I paid. OK, I paid $1,400 for it, my ENTIRE tax refund but the Patriots were in this big game and I had to watch it on something decent. The Pats of course lost, but I kept the Phillips TV, despite it's "vintage" technology at this point it's been a reliable performer. Walmart will sell a "47 for around $400 now, even the Samsung 4K curved sets have dropped down fast in the 2yrs they have been out.

It would have if rear projection TV's didn't die out as quickly as they did. There just isn't the volume now to invest that kind of r&d. The home projector market is still tiny.

For those of you who use projectors how often do you change the bulb or colour wheel? And is it hard to get parts? We used to use projectors at work for our displays (on 24/7) but every time the bulb or colour wheel blew we had to get a whole new projector because they no longer made the parts for it. What sucked is we stocked up on bulbs once but then the colour wheel blew so they sent us a whole different model projector and now all those bulbs were useless. It was a Dell, so I don't know if maybe that's an issue specific to Dell and maybe other brands are better.

I always thought a 4k projector filling an entire wall from top to bottom would be pretty awesome. Imagine gaming on that. Once I get rid of the fireplace I will have a nice blank wall to consider options with. Probably just end up sticking with the TV though. Not even sure if I want to move it to that wall yet. Original plan is to just put the couch there and leave TV as is.
