@@dannythedabbler Unfortunately it does. It's targeted for 1080p@240Hz PC gaming to achieve around 6ms of input lag or 1080p@120Hz/4K@60Hz console gaming. It's going to cost $3,500 if I recall correctly. Consoles don't have 4K 120fps games. They're too weak to take full advantage of HDMI 2.1.

@@PSYCHOV3N0M yeah, that's true, but I'm not going to spend that much money on a device that's at best playing catch-up. I want a bit of future proofing so unless it's 4k/120 with low input lag and HDMI 2.1 I'm going to continue to wait. TVs are running circles around projectors in terms of innovation. They'll be two HDMI standards behind if they don't get it together.

I am a proud owner of original (Chinese model) Formovie T1 (theatre), and i love its. I am so happy that it won the shootout among the competition because it deserved the recognition. No one believing us on the AVS forums when we were praising the projector and they were calling us paid shills. Gaming mode is good for non competitive gaming like God of war or resident evil. I even played offline street fighter 6/tekken 7 with friends and input lag was at 36ms. I use custom mode because and casual gaming is fine on it as well.

Love the reviews man, was going to watch a movie, but I got sidetracked with your reviews, haha. So, the question I have is I have a cinema and Max wanna go 120 inch screen, and want a great picture for movies. I'm in Australia, so my theatre room is around 4 metres wide and 3.5 depth ( distance from rear wall to front screen) So should I go ultra short throw like this exact one. Or should I go with the projector on the roof, which would mean running everything through the walls again. I have a 82 inch samsung on the wall at the moment, so barely use the room as it sucks 😆

Hi Chris, I just went to test both the Hisense L9G and the ForMovie. Formovie image is indeed more contrastly but Hisense is brighter. Hisense seems also to be sharper and more '3D'.. a bit soap opera feel? Formovie seems to be smoother and image looks more smoothing... but the set and the remote seems cheap... rather cheap.. Im running in a delicated dark room. Really can't decide. If budget is not an issue, what will u install ?

@ChrisMajestic Жыл бұрын

I run the L9G in my living room still. It is indeed significantly brighter. If you plan on using it in a dedicated theater room you might be better off with the Formovie. The extra brightness isn’t necessary. The Hisense is a bit sharper though. The biggest downside to the Hisense is the fixed focus so you’re stuck with one screen size.

@RoyChuangProductions Жыл бұрын

@Chris Majestic I remembered that your comparison video of the Hisense L9G and the Samsung... the Hisense L9G IRE level was 25 i think (without the ambience sensor turned on), the samsung was 17? What's the IRE of the ForMovie? Apologies for the many questions.
