Paul.. Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Saturday's stream was spot on. I blame the internet in Birmingham for the slow upload Exactly it was great, watched it on a 150" screen and could even recognise half our players!

Pretty perfect actually, my PC is in the next room but I have a long HDMI cable + USB cable passing through a small hole in the wall to my AV receiver so I can watch things on my PC if need be or more importantly game on my PC using the big screen :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not the usage the projectors are all about, it's just that I'm wanting to justify the expenditure after sinking a hole in my pocket for a UHDTV only a couple of weeks ago!

Well your mileage will of course vary based on the quality of projector you get, ours wasn't the most expensive for what we were after (Full HD + high contrast + high lumens). Here's some pics showing my desktop from the back of the room (about 5m from screen) halfway (about 2m from screen) then very close (enough to touch!)

Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 The stream was garbage last night. Listened to radio and only paid attention to the stream for the goals.....(had to work out the time delay first though mind!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the pictures anyway; that does look genuinely decent. Better than I expected actually. The technology has obviously come a long way since I'd drawn my previous impressions of it.

The technology has obviously come a long way since I'd drawn my previous impressions of it. Yeah we (wife and I) really didn't think a projector would be any good for gaming/TV watching but that was really based off old tech projectors used in classrooms and unis and such, our first one was a cheap 2nd hand 720p one just to give it a whirl and we were hooked ever since, sold our TV (to avoid having to pay a TV license) and haven't looked back, we have our old one to sell but now we've bought the summerhouse will just move that one to there :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicAusOwl Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 My stream was pretty smooth during the first half of Birmingham, which was surprising because my internet has been pretty rooted lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roaminowl Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 So everyone who's checked out my profile in the last couple of months was really just wanting to cop a feel?! I suppose I ought to feel violated... I was way from home last week and borrowed an ipad to get on the hotel internet. I lost count of the amount of times I accidentally looked at people's profiles because of my fat fingers hitting the wrong part of the screen. I can't remember if yours was one of them but I apologise to everybody who might be wondering why I'm a nosey git. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
