i got a "dumb" sony one, the runt of its laser line but 5+ years later i havent changed it nor anticipate i'll need to, nothing better looking than hdr10 exists anyway, and the laser projectors are easily visible even in daytime with basic curtains down
requires either wiring on ceiling/wall and drilling or extra furniture under TV (short throw)
double power consumption over TV
the only benefit really is the size, but nowadays you can buy 65-75" TV which is already pretty huge depending on your room, so I fail to see argument for projector unless you need super large screen which you intend to watch from big distance/outdoors in very late evening
Just don’t let it connect to the internet then? I don’t trust any tv to connect directly to the internet at all. Ever.
They boppin your data through the drivers. Don’t need direct internet access. 2026.
This is a very smart messaging. Approved.
Anyone else make the switch to projectors from TVs as a primary way of watching media?

I have a projector. Top of the line. Amazing image, bright as day, vivid colours, auto-keystone, the works.
It runs Google TV. I trust it about as much as I do my LG OLED.
I did. Modern projector have the same spying shit nowadays. Streaming apps, games, ads and all.
I was considering it, but:
too expensive (the good ones)
too noisy
requires canvas for good experience
requires dark enviroment for good experience
requires either wiring on ceiling/wall and drilling or extra furniture under TV (short throw)
double power consumption over TV

Does anyone have a set of domains/ips to piehole to prevent such information going out?
Having watched the GamersNexus video, some tracking is done with DNS resolution requests to unique domains.
Ouch, big brother.
I have an LG TV screen. How do I know if I am infected? It is a few years old...
