My projector is a short throw Optima GT1080 on a generic stand. All the clips were from AtmosFX. I got them into Resolume, organized them, and had like ~60 clips to play with. I launched them with my Akai APC40 mkii. Surprisingly, my mid-tier laptop with only on-board graphics worked fine. It was a good few hours of work to organize the session but I can easily reuse it next year. I also had some DJ lights going with music. Plenty of people complimented, took photos, and even stopped and sat to watch. I'd definitely recommend it. People are so amazed with projection mapping and this took like only 5 minutes to actually map.

Great projector. Really love the Short throw aspects

Sorry, this is one is over your budget at $600 but the Iptoma GT1080Darbee is on sale at the moment (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06XHG92Y5). Great value.

u/tonynelson33 · 1 pointr/youtubetv

Ill try to post one tomorrow if I remember. You can switch pretty fast...only annoying thing if youre familar with youtube tv is that when you hover over it the bottom selection stuff will come up and you have to move your mouse to the side to get it to just show the video. When you have 4 windows on the screen you just have to be precise with the mouse lol (especially if you want to unmute/mute a certain one). You get the hang of it though.

This is the projector I got...I do a lot of gaming and needed a short throw since my ceiling is kinda low and I didnt want to hang one anyone. Its great and isnt very expensive. Im sure in a few years Ill get a 4k one when 4k is the standard everything streams in but thats not the case right now by any means so this is perfectly fine.

Here's a comment I made not too long ago - -



I don't know if this is what you are looking for but...


I have been using this projector since Winter 2018:
Optoma GT1080Darbee 1080p 3000 Lumens 3D DLP Short Throw Gaming Projector https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XHG92Y5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_wjigLjdsijbj2


With the following screen:
STR-169120 Silver Ticket 120" Diagonal 16:9 4K Ultra HD Ready HDTV (6 Piece Fixed Frame) Projector Screen White Material https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CYLOTPK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_IDOEqvhvuHT7d


The only gripe that I have with the screen is, if the image is sharp in the center, the corners tend to be just slightly blurry. If text is clear in the center, then it is blurry in the corners. It's tolerable.

And vice-versa: if text is sharp in the corners, then it is slightly blurry in the center.

For my uses, this isn't a problem. I use the projector for gaming and watching videos/TV. PC Gaming and Console Gaming, I haven't noticed any latency issues between controller input and the display.

It's only when I am typing into the URL in the Web Browser at the top of the screen do I notice these blurry issues.

Look into the GT1080 Darbee. It's a projector that is very short throw, so can it can be super close to the wall and still throw a big picture. Here are more of the specs on projector central. :)

u/TaedusPrime · 1 pointr/battlestations

Right on the wall where the kids are looking at tv. I don't have another view but it looks to be atleast 10-12 feet away which is optimum distance for most projectors for a 100-120 inch screen. You could also get a short throw projector and just place it on the table if you don't fancy hanging/mounting one.

I just setup my theater using this on a 100 inch silver ticket screen. Pretty amazing thus far. I have the projector about 4 feet away on the bottom level of a coffee table. It's a short throw projector so you can place them in a variety of ways close to the wall.

Cheers. Actually I think its the other way around. Gamers are particular about resolutions so they usually go for higher res. Business office users are somewhat mostly looking for better brightness contrast 🤔 but I would defo agree with future proof part. Defo shud get atleast a 720p native if you have res in mind 👍how about optoma gt1080 its a good allrounder but definitely a slightly pricier hence 1080 native 3d ready etc. Must check it out here is the link mate https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XHG92Y5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_CcwXBbJ5ADT6G

Thanks. See this one, although it doesn’t have Ethernet if that matters.

No necesariamente. Con un proyector de tiro corto no necesitas más que un par de metros para tener una pantalla de unas 200 pulgadas. Yo uso este pero también este otro es bastante bueno. Los instalas en el techo o en una mesa y tienen una corrección de verticales bastante buena.

u/lachumproyale1210 · 1 pointr/vjing

best short throw for the price and specs that I found is this one.

It's DLP but a)I don't think any of the animations I'll be projecting move bright whites quickly and b) if it does... it might look badass actually.

Out of curiosity though, what spec would I need to look at to see how bad the rainbow effect will be?
