Meh, might as well go all out and get the 790" 16K Sony modular display. I mean, 5.8 million is chump change ; ). Even the 110" 1080p model is still 180K. Due to the way the modular system works resolution goes up with size so the 4K version is 220"s. Disney has been using these for Disney plus show like the mandolorian as the actors can see what is going on around them unlike a green screen. m.hexus.net/ce/news/audio-visual/134840-sony-announces-16k-crystal-led-790-inch-modular-tvs/ All the above tech sounds very enticing, until we come across the thorny issue of pricing. Engadget reports that each Sony Micro LED panel unit costs approx US$10,000. That means that the FHD 110-inch installation would cost $180,000, and the 16K 790-inch TV would cost approx $5.8m to purchase. The system looks great for a video wall in a modern living space, as you can see from the images above. It is also an attractive option for your super yacht, thinks Sony.
@Pancakesrule and the vava UST PJ is cheaper and can do 150"s, so essentially 10 inches over four 70" TV's. I would be extremely hesitant to buy any 70 inch TV for that price. What's the model because I'm betting it's an older model and they are just clearing out stock. You get what you pay for. Like TLC, everyone I know that has one has either zero issues or 50 issues. Lack of quality control shows up eventually and I just find it extremely hard to believe a 70 inch TV for that price is even worth it. If your dead set on a TV and are a gamer then the 65 inch Samsung neo seems like the display to beat, especially if you are a gamer and it's still 2600 which is actually not that bad as it has over 700 dimming zones due to it being micro LED. By far the optoma P2 put out the best HDR picture out of any UST Pj's out there, especially if paired with the right screen.
@moonra because they are filming a projector with a camera, uploading it to the internet and you're watching it on another device. It's not going to look the same as it does in person lol
@@adamant3316 I kinda doubt it, but maybe, I guess I'd have to see it in person. I understand the irony, I think it's pretty weird that we have TV ads showing how good a TV's image is, but here it looked _very_ off. They should have filmed a section of it from their PoV, because the camera was higher, and that screen looked black from a lower angle but gray/whitish gray head on.

Great content as per always guys! One small tip: the gloves were supposed to be used to manipulate the screen area and it is advisable to put on the gloves only when you have unpacked it and ready for mounting so you do not dirty the surface :D
^^ exactly, that's why these screens are so expensive. It's not the frame, it's the fabric and it is delicate and takes time to assemble correctly. Any minor wrinkle or imperfection is extremely noticable which is why they all use springs or Velcro to keep the fabric tensioned. These are not fun to put together I ended up assembling the frame and hanging it to make sure it was level, then took it down and put the fabric on and hanged it on the wall. It worked out very well.
Don't get the bundle if you do that route. You can get the Epson for 3500 and a much better 120"to ALR UST screen. I recommend projectorscreen .

13:25 laser projectors still have pixels as the laser is simply the backlight. LCD panels or DMD chips are still required to produce the image, they simply are being fed light from laser light sources instead of an arc lamp or LEDs.
With all of the advancements in short throw projectors I would love to see rear projection TVs make a comeback. For home theater setups they were pretty hard to beat back in the day, and the large cabinet allowed for really excellent speakers, with some even including built-in subwoofers. Imagine a 3 laser, 3 chip DLP rear projection TV with full HDMI 2.1 capabilities, 4k@120Hz, variable refresh rate, HDR10, Dolby Vision, and even built-in Dolby Atmos 3D positional audio with quality speakers and subwoofer inside the TV cabinet. They could even include wireless surround speakers in the box for a true surround sound experience.

I gamed on a projector for years, it was amazing on the Xbox 360 and PS3, especially with Move games like Killzone 2 or anything that used a gun like Time Crisis 4. I had it at 105 inches and it was an incredible experience, especially at the time. I prefer my 65 in C9 OLED or a VR headset, but it would still be cool to have a giant screen again. If you just want to watch movies or even play some games, you can get projectors DIRT CHEAP now. Although the experience is not the best when you don’t pay for it, but in my experience kids love it. They can’t tell the difference. Or if you just want a cheap home theatre to wow your friends.
@@jerrodshack7610 cameras really kill the quality of projector screens because of the way the light reflects. My 3 year old 1080p ViewSonic projector looks miles better than this Epson and I can guarantee that it's just because of the video quality.
Linus: I realized this was a projector when I saw the matched boxes it came in.... Me: Funny, I realized it was one when I saw how washed out the colors were.
@@DaKluitbut the problem is you need a larger/longer room to adjust for the throw. I have a projector rated for 120 inches but at 7 feet it only projects up to 75 inches, so it has to be pretty far away from my wall to project the maximum size. This is what laser TV's aim to get rid of. On the flip side, a 4k 120 inch QLED/OLED TV will set you back 10 to 20 grand in fact Samsung's "The Wall" is a 145 inch QLED TV that costs $220,000. 75-120 inch 4k laser TV's can be had for as low as $2,000 which is the normal price for a 65 inch 4k OLED from a brand like LG. You are paying for the screen size at the cost of black levels and light pollution.
Something I will say is I find it really cool when they tell the story using clips that were shot at different points in time. Intro Linus got to work with the projector so he knows what it is like. Unboxing Linus hasn't worked with it yet so he still has to figure it out. This adds a bit of depth to the story-experience which I find enjoyable. You are being shown the review by different versions of the same person in a viewing order that changes the viewers interpretation of the product. I just find it so thought provoking. The fact that Unboxing Linus had an idea what the intro was going to be about before it was shot and he knew that his opinion might change is also funky.
I've brought a laser TV several years ago and it not only looks better than this, but also comes with awesome harman/kardon speakers. Think the brand is called xgimi? Projector tech in China is definitely a decade ahead.
Okay, but if you had a custom cabinet so that only the lil periscope piece was visible and the rest was hidden that would look so crazy slick. Big want even though I have zero need and haven't owned a TV of any kind in years
Linus: “It’s not a TV.” Me: “It’s a short throw projector.” Linus: “But it looks like a TV.” Me: “It’s a short throw projector.” Linus: “Look at the bezels and how far it is from the wall.” Me: “It’s a short throw projector.” Linus: “If it was a projector, you would see my outline, right?” Me: *sigh*
Shocks now I understand why Linus does not need youtube Ads!! since most of the viewers are tech literate they most probably have an Ad remover which doesn't get revenue if they rely on that !! LOVE IT LINUS TECH GUYS!!
I absolutely love your UA-cam platform. Great content. Everything you guys talk about and how in depth you go about the product is what I love. However, please stop talking about how "I'm the boss" and "I pay you" in your videos. Those type of comments don't happen all the time, but they happen enough. The channel is absolutely awesome! However, I totally cringe when the arrogant and conceded comments are said. Just my humble opinion, I still love the show... big fat thumbs up.
Great editing by Dennis! All those little quirks and shenanigans of Linus and Jake were even funnier with those little additions. Black. White. Black. White.
looks like the projectors we have everywhere in schools in france except that here, the projector sits right on top of the screen/white borad, probably isn't 4K(and even if it was the workstations the teachers use would probably not be able to output that) and it's actually an interractive projector which means we have pens with a white tips, on black cones, with white handles, that are detedted by the projector and you can draw things with either on the projectors own virtual white borad, or on top of stuff you're projecting from your PC which is cool and you can switch between both pretty quickly you can also control stuff on the PC which is cool and probably many other functions we don't use in class We always have that EPSON interactive projector, I think it's the EB-685Wi Edit : I only watched the intro and in school half of the time they come with 2 white speakers too Seconds edit : we don't have that cool screen black white tec, this is amazing
Bladerunner is mastered at a 100 nits or 200 nits respectively so it's probably not the goto Movie for testing these things. I'd recommend Back to the Futue 3 on UHD Bluray which is mastered to perfection. Last Action Hero also is fantastic on UHDBluray.
Anyone looking to do a theater setup in their home, this is perfect. I have a close friend who spent well over this for his setup and it fails to compare at all. The blacks are so deep, the screen was still visible with windows open? WHAT?! I feel Linus understated how well that really did with the lighting on...and thats saying something for linus, who is all too ready to sell something normally. My friends would not have been but barely visible and not at all "watchable".
You should used 2x of the same projector to take it to 11! Have one projector on the ceiling and then one equal opposite on the table / floor match up the pixels after you hook them up to a computer to rotate and clone the display output. DOUBLE THE POWWAAA
This wouldn't work and this is why it's not recommended to mount UST projectors on the ceiling. They only reflect light from one angle so if you hang it on the ceiling you lose all the ALR benefits from any overhead light. If you had one at the top and the bottom, one of them would be getting rejected depending on how you mounted the screen. This would not work out. The huge benefit of these screens is how they reflect light directly back at the user. When I originally got my optima P1, it was on a Stewart firehock screen. My ceiling looked like a strobe light due to the light bouncing directly of the screen to the ceiling
Those tools are for stretching the springs easily. Without them Linus probably stretched the springs more than necessary, making it that much more difficult to get the screen aligned
When you spend $4400 for an ever inferior TV experience while giving up the one advantage of projectors by coupling it to a fixed size screen and adding a massive box in your living room.
Size. Just size. Here's the thing, if you want to have a big lounge/home cinema area for more than 3-4 people, you need them far from the screen, and it doesn't take long for screen sizes to not catch up to how far someone is for the ideal viewing distance. (more to the point, how much of your view is filled with the content, aka, cinema theathers)
Can we get a video already about the highly-underrated pandemic trend of production equipment rental houses renting LED walls for gaming parties? Brompton and Roe Visual have some very cool tech in this regard!
i remember me and my cousin choosing a projector over a flat screen tv back in 2009. We disappointed our family for two or three years as they had to deal with wall -size image with horrible brightness. Looking back its funny my aunt and uncle watching tv series on a full size wall. Glad to see things changed.

@@Mellovici you don't need a license to use game footage, lol (unless its Nintendo of course). They probably just use the same games so that its easier to compare to older graphics cards they've tested
They used how to train your dragon too before. It's just for a common hdr reference that they've evaluated really pops
13:25 laser projectors still have pixels as the laser is simply the backlight. LCD panels or DMD chips are still required to produce the image, they simply are being fed light from laser light sources instead of an arc lamp or LEDs.
Favorite part of the video Jake has a Finnegan speed and marine shirt on really didn't expect that.
Did not expect to see that either.
@@Andrew81au1 i do think its cool tho Finnegan is fun to watch, makes me wonder what Jake drives.
With all of the advancements in short throw projectors I would love to see rear projection TVs make a comeback. For home theater setups they were pretty hard to beat back in the day, and the large cabinet allowed for really excellent speakers, with some even including built-in subwoofers. Imagine a 3 laser, 3 chip DLP rear projection TV with full HDMI 2.1 capabilities, 4k@120Hz, variable refresh rate, HDR10, Dolby Vision, and even built-in Dolby Atmos 3D positional audio with quality speakers and subwoofer inside the TV cabinet. They could even include wireless surround speakers in the box for a true surround sound experience.
Never thought I'd see an FSM shirt on this channel. And I'm not disappointed
FSM?
what's fsm
@@eternalliving2148 Finnegan's Speed and Marine. Dude has YT channel - Finnegan's Garage. He's also host of motortrend's show Roadkill. Cool gearhead stuff mostly.
FSM is Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Like I knew he was a car guy but I didn't know he was THAT MUCH of a car guy. (:
"I pay you to hang out with me" 🤣 linus is like a rich nerd
Ya think? Lmao

I gamed on a projector for years, it was amazing on the Xbox 360 and PS3, especially with Move games like Killzone 2 or anything that used a gun like Time Crisis 4. I had it at 105 inches and it was an incredible experience, especially at the time. I prefer my 65 in C9 OLED or a VR headset, but it would still be cool to have a giant screen again. If you just want to watch movies or even play some games, you can get projectors DIRT CHEAP now. Although the experience is not the best when you don’t pay for it, but in my experience kids love it. They can’t tell the difference. Or if you just want a cheap home theatre to wow your friends.
more linus editing like this more raw and it was smooth nice job linus media group!
“At first glance this appears to be a normal TV”
Not with those washed out colours that look like the brightness/contrast is way too high it doesn’t.
Yeah lol on camera it looks awful
@@jerrodshack7610 cameras really kill the quality of projector screens because of the way the light reflects. My 3 year old 1080p ViewSonic projector looks miles better than this Epson and I can guarantee that it's just because of the video quality.
@@Tekgnome. Glad to hear it.
it’s camera footage what do you expect
Linus: I realized this was a projector when I saw the matched boxes it came in....
Me: Funny, I realized it was one when I saw how washed out the colors were.
that opening intro had the sound effects set to "fountain-machine sprite" crisp
Me: Hey that’s cool i wanna buy it
Linus: I love how they assume that anyone nerdy enough to buy this product has friends to help them set it up
Me:
Like any of us has friends lol.
that is so true, no one has ever helped me, no one understands what I talk about most of the time.
@@Shannon-ul5re common you are not alone

"I pay you to hang out with me"
I gave the video a thumbs up just for that.
I see Jake repping that Finnegan Speed & Marine t-shirt, cool that there are also some car guys at LMG!
I saw the t-shirt and thought nah can't be. When Jake turned around yep it is.
"This is NOT a TV": Literally has TV in the name
But yeah, this is pretty cool. Interesting to see how far projector tech has come.
got him bro
Well, maybe it's because of recording a screen but this doesn't blow my mind. There are cheaper projectors available with the same or better image.
@@DaKluitbut the problem is you need a larger/longer room to adjust for the throw. I have a projector rated for 120 inches but at 7 feet it only projects up to 75 inches, so it has to be pretty far away from my wall to project the maximum size. This is what laser TV's aim to get rid of. On the flip side, a 4k 120 inch QLED/OLED TV will set you back 10 to 20 grand in fact Samsung's "The Wall" is a 145 inch QLED TV that costs $220,000. 75-120 inch 4k laser TV's can be had for as low as $2,000 which is the normal price for a 65 inch 4k OLED from a brand like LG. You are paying for the screen size at the cost of black levels and light pollution.
"what house is this supposed to match" Apparently my old church, since they had that EXACT carpeting for the floor of the auditorium
Something I will say is I find it really cool when they tell the story using clips that were shot at different points in time.
Intro Linus got to work with the projector so he knows what it is like.
Unboxing Linus hasn't worked with it yet so he still has to figure it out.
This adds a bit of depth to the story-experience which I find enjoyable.
You are being shown the review by different versions of the same person in a viewing order that changes the viewers interpretation of the product.
I just find it so thought provoking.
The fact that Unboxing Linus had an idea what the intro was going to be about before it was shot and he knew that his opinion might change is also funky.
I've brought a laser TV several years ago and it not only looks better than this, but also comes with awesome harman/kardon speakers. Think the brand is called xgimi? Projector tech in China is definitely a decade ahead.
yoooo, shoutout to Jake. Reppin that Finnegan Shirt.
It's moments like this that remind me that they're people too, if that makes sense. Similar interests and such.
Literally watching Roadkill on TV right now 🙌🏻
Jake has more of Finns T-shirts.
The “ItS wIrElEsS bRo” endeddddd meeeee
damnnn linus with 3 tv videos in a week
Yep
True
100% correct
this is not a tv!
Honestly never find these as entertaining as i find his other videos. But that's just preference i guess
Jake's laugh at 5:02 sounded like a ball dropping
Okay, but if you had a custom cabinet so that only the lil periscope piece was visible and the rest was hidden that would look so crazy slick. Big want even though I have zero need and haven't owned a TV of any kind in years
Linus: “It’s not a TV.”
Me: “It’s a short throw projector.”
Linus: “But it looks like a TV.”
Me: “It’s a short throw projector.”
Linus: “Look at the bezels and how far it is from the wall.”
Me: “It’s a short throw projector.”
Linus: “If it was a projector, you would see my outline, right?”
Me: *sigh*
Wait how much does this cost oh yeah that's a short throw projector.
"Just blur all of him. It's all offensive." 😁😂
9:14
Linus puts on glove "Dr. Tech is in the house"
DO NOT turn your head and cough or you will end up with water cooling and RGB up the sphincter.
There are some kinky people out there that would probably pay good money for that
@@RF-wv7ip The OnlyFans account was just the beginning...
Shocks now I understand why Linus does not need youtube Ads!! since most of the viewers are tech literate they most probably have an Ad remover which doesn't get revenue if they rely on that !! LOVE IT LINUS TECH GUYS!!
4:18 The walls are blue, and Orange and Black are the LTT store colors. It matches.
Not gonna lie, the "Sooorry" Reference made me chuckle.
when i get a house this will be in my chill gaming room. absolutly AMAZING projector. would get some bookshelf speakers tho
Oh hey, first time I'm early to a Linus video.

It would be nice for a part 2 on Roasting Your WORST Setups. The last one was amazing.
I absolutely love your UA-cam platform. Great content. Everything you guys talk about and how in depth you go about the product is what I love. However, please stop talking about how "I'm the boss" and "I pay you" in your videos. Those type of comments don't happen all the time, but they happen enough. The channel is absolutely awesome! However, I totally cringe when the arrogant and conceded comments are said. Just my humble opinion, I still love the show... big fat thumbs up.
Linus: puts on clean white cotton gloves
Also Linus: puts them in his mouth
takes them off for the only reason they were included: so you dont get oils on the selectively light rejecting screen lmao
Projectors are so cool, but even the best ones still look grey and washed out compared to a cheap lcd tv.
And this thing costs for $4500 too.😂 The market for this is microscopic I would think.
If you have a seperate home theater room and can light control it to absolute darkness projectors actually have good blacks especially jvc ones.
Great editing by Dennis! All those little quirks and shenanigans of Linus and Jake were even funnier with those little additions. Black. White. Black. White.
looks like the projectors we have everywhere in schools in france
except that here, the projector sits right on top of the screen/white borad, probably isn't 4K(and even if it was the workstations the teachers use would probably not be able to output that) and it's actually an interractive projector which means we have pens with a white tips, on black cones, with white handles, that are detedted by the projector and you can draw things with
either on the projectors own virtual white borad, or on top of stuff you're projecting from your PC which is cool
and you can switch between both pretty quickly
you can also control stuff on the PC which is cool and probably many other functions we don't use in class
We always have that EPSON interactive projector, I think it's the EB-685Wi
Edit : I only watched the intro and in school half of the time they come with 2 white speakers too
Seconds edit : we don't have that cool screen black white tec, this is amazing
Bladerunner is mastered at a 100 nits or 200 nits respectively so it's probably not the goto Movie for testing these things.
I'd recommend Back to the Futue 3 on UHD Bluray which is mastered to perfection. Last Action Hero also is fantastic on UHDBluray.
I love how Linus is the boss but he basically acts like the new guy that messes up stuff
Staff, hired for knowing more than Linus about any given subject: Yeah, we'd fire him if we could. ;P
That's what happens when you become the boss you hire people more capable than yourself to do the work
@@Wimmle exactly
Peep that red Finnegan Speed and Marine shirt 👀. I see you haha
Anyone looking to do a theater setup in their home, this is perfect. I have a close friend who spent well over this for his setup and it fails to compare at all. The blacks are so deep, the screen was still visible with windows open? WHAT?! I feel Linus understated how well that really did with the lighting on...and thats saying something for linus, who is all too ready to sell something normally. My friends would not have been but barely visible and not at all "watchable".
You should used 2x of the same projector to take it to 11!
Have one projector on the ceiling and then one equal opposite on the table / floor match up the pixels after you hook them up to a computer to rotate and clone the display output.
DOUBLE THE POWWAAA
This wouldn't work and this is why it's not recommended to mount UST projectors on the ceiling. They only reflect light from one angle so if you hang it on the ceiling you lose all the ALR benefits from any overhead light. If you had one at the top and the bottom, one of them would be getting rejected depending on how you mounted the screen. This would not work out. The huge benefit of these screens is how they reflect light directly back at the user. When I originally got my optima P1, it was on a Stewart firehock screen. My ceiling looked like a strobe light due to the light bouncing directly of the screen to the ceiling
@@JoshFisher567 True.
Would have to be dual projectors with a normal screen and keep the room super dark.
ok when Linus did the "sssooorrryyyy" at at 5:47, from south park, i pissed myself laughing...
ua-cam.com/video/15HTd4Um1m4/v-deo.html
Guys, we have work to do. We must turn Linus "Sorry" pose at 5:48 into a meme
I wonder just how many people will get that South Park reference?!
Hopefully everybody should know it by this point.
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu what is that?
@@talharoxen
Very simple, just look up South Park BP we're sorry. You'll get it.
@@JohnDoe-wq5eu Okay 😎
I don't see anyone getting this projector say over a 83" LG Oled for around a $1000 more🤷♂️
But 100 inches dude. It may not seem that big of a difference but 20 inches is huge.
I could see getting this for a home theater room. Wouldn't bother trying to use it as a monitor or normal TV.
If I had the money I would rather do a projector
Those tools are for stretching the springs easily. Without them Linus probably stretched the springs more than necessary, making it that much more difficult to get the screen aligned
The “sorry” southpark reference made watching this video worth it
When you spend $4400 for an ever inferior TV experience while giving up the one advantage of projectors by coupling it to a fixed size screen and adding a massive box in your living room.
I have no idea who they're marketing this to
you could look at it as a hybrid for someone that wants exactly 100"
It's a LOT cheaper than an equivalent TV.
@@orion10x10 TVs don't uaually get as big as projectors so that's the benefit of having this
Size. Just size. Here's the thing, if you want to have a big lounge/home cinema area for more than 3-4 people, you need them far from the screen, and it doesn't take long for screen sizes to not catch up to how far someone is for the ideal viewing distance. (more to the point, how much of your view is filled with the content, aka, cinema theathers)
Time and time again, we learn that size matters
I laughed way too hard when he did the "soorryyy" thing lol
Can we get a video already about the highly-underrated pandemic trend of production equipment rental houses renting LED walls for gaming parties?
Brompton and Roe Visual have some very cool tech in this regard!
i remember me and my cousin choosing a projector over a flat screen tv back in 2009. We disappointed our family for two or three years as they had to deal with wall -size image with horrible brightness. Looking back its funny my aunt and uncle watching tv series on a full size wall. Glad to see things changed.
As usual, well done, would love to see more technical Infos and menu views.
