Bought my first ever projector in December'2023: an Epson LS650. No dedicated screen, it is bright enough. Changed from a 65" TV to a ~100" giant picture. I LOVE how the room looks now without the black square (=TV) and of course the immersion, wow. I think the two products will remain on the market and neither will be a one-choice-fits-all, since both offer different advantages over the other. For me personally: ease of move between apartments, no need to drill holes in the wall to mount, no big freakin' black square in the middle of the room, also no reflections off the screen.

Love hearing your perspective on this. I agree that for larger screen experience a projector is still the better option. Can’t wait to see what the landscape will be like when modular microLED display become affordable. Hopefully you’ll be making a video about it sooner than later! 😆

Wow! In Australia a 100" TV is still around 6k. There's a place for both but a projector is definitely softer on the eyes for movies. Sporting events better on TV. I have always hated the term "media room" as it sounds like working from home. Theatre room is much more relaxing 😌. Anyways it's great that screens are getting bigger and better!

When they make acoustic transparent 2.35:1/16x9 120-150” tv’s then it might, but for now it won’t replace projectors.

I have a 65” SONY A1E OLED in the living room and a projector in the dedicated movie room. 9/10 the family prefers the movie room even though the image is “inferior” but because: 1. The immersive experience (even at a humble 110”) 2. Reflected light is easier on the eyes than emitted light which tends to have an artificial feel. We talk about listening fatigue with speakers but your eyes can also get visual fatigue from looking at a screen. FYI Michael: Your positive attitude and approach to this hobby is much appreciated!

Even 100" seems small when you have 150" screen.. but for most people, these tvs are too good of deals not to consider the hisense and TCL S5

I never owned a projector before until 2024. I decided to buy an ( ultra short throw projector) by Epson . It was on sale for $1300 and uses lasers to project an image of 120 inches “ 10 feet 😬. No need to worry about having a 25 foot room anymore, it sits less than two feet from the wall. In a controlled light environment the picture is amazing even without a projector screen. It’s estimated to last for 20,000- 30,000 hours… way beyond that of a large tv. If you want a theater experience this option is incredible in areas of the house that would have been impossible before.

I have a 150" 16:9 Elite screen for my NZ8 and I just purchased the Hisense 100U76N for $2k to go downstairs in my living room. I also have an LG OLED 83C1 for my gaming room. I love my projector due to its motorized lens and being able to customize the custom aspect ratio, but the Hisense will be a daily driver. At $2k it was a good purchase. If you rant something truly immersion I recommend the Rokid Max glasses. 120" Oled image. I take them to work daily with my ROG Ally and it simply can't be beat.

Just ordered the 100” Hisense for $2000, gonna be selling my Formovie UST with 120” ALR screen and can’t wait. The UST is great but even in a light controlled living room it’s just washed out compared to a TV. Had a 82” tv so I love the 120” size but I think a 100” tv is a good compromise. Then when the 120” is affordable it’ll be time to switch to that 😁

70 in ch in the LR and a projector 150 screen in my mancave I love 3D so I'll stick to my projector regardless

One thing important to consider is eye fatigue. OLED tv’s project light outwards at your face so it’s like staring at car headlights. Projected images are way more comfortable on the eyes because you are looking at light projected at a screen rather than projecting outwards at you directly.

I have an LG C3 77”. I love big screens, and until now, projectors were the only option. At CES 2024, Hisense showcased a 110” TV priced under $10,000 (not cheap), featuring 10,000 nits brightness and 40,000 dimming zones. TCL also had a 115” screen on display. I believe projectors will retain their place for sizes above 135”, but most people I know with a home theater, often a converted bedroom, have screens under 135”. For such scenarios, super-large TVs would be superior in terms of contrast and HDR.

If You have a Dedicated Room for a Home Theater Setup then Projection Screens are the way to go for sure!!! But just a Living Room Space or Small Room I Would go with a Large 4K UHDTV.

One thing that is for sure, screen size and quality is getting more and more affordable. I am currently setup with an Epson LS12000 and a 110 inch 16x9 screen. This is my first projector and I have been very happy that I finally took the plunge. If I would have went with a 100 inch tv, I don't think I could get it into my basement with the way my stairs are configured. That said the future is looking very bright for extremely large tv's so I eventually they will be able to tick all the boxes making projectors less justifiable. But I am sure that is a long long way into the future.

I'm a TV guy, but i admit that projectors have three distinct advantages: (1) bigger size that can be adjusted on the fly, (2) easier installation and uninstallation vs a 77+" TV, and (3) audio. With audio, I don't mean speakers from the projector itself. Rather, I mean the ability to place identical LCR Speakers behind the screen so that your front sound stage is seemless and pinpoint accurate with the image, and the center speaker is not compromised at all. (With a TV, you have to place some sort of horizontal MTM array above or below the screen. With a screen, you can use an identical speaker as your L and R speakers and place it dead center behind the screen.)

he is right! 55" is just a screen, screen for tv shows. I guess 90-110" and projector is a start for real "involved movie". And, imo, tv will never replace a projector, not because of the size, but because of the dynamics and the method of image transmission: the re-reflected light is a natural picture from life.

I have a BenQ projector, and project to 75/100/120 inch screens, depending on how far back we're sitting. I still prefer the versatility and portability of a projector.

I have an 82” Samsung and a 120 SilverTicket with an LG projector. I will hold off until they are at 120 or 150” in a 21:9. I’m tired of the bars on the screens.

Ive been in the projector space for 15 years. Nothing beats the flexibility of a projector . The image size that its capable of producing is only limited by the physical limitations of your personal space. Also the larger the Oled-type TV that you desire, the more you will pay in upfront costs of the purchase and the longterm energy costs. For example, an Average 85in TV uses 350Watts or more of energy. A triple laser 4K lifestyle projector such as the JMGO N1 Ultra or XGIMI Horizon Ultra comparatively only uses 135-140 watts of energy. Heres the important catch....this energy usage does not increase along with your physical projection space allowances. That same 135 watt projector is capable of producing screen diagonals of 60 to 200+ inches. The lasers are rated for 25-30K hours(10 or more years based on 365 days of a minimum of 4hours of viewing per day) so bulb replacement is no longer a decision factor. Your desire to replace the projector technology will arrive before those lasers ever burn out. Projector hands down!
