Recently wanted to get into home theater and found this channel. I’m surprised I’ve never had it pop up on my feed since I’m always watching tech related videos. This channel is informative, entertaining, and doesn’t skip over and important details. I’ve learned so much about home theater from here. I feel like this channel is under the radar and deserves even more subscribers. Keep up the great content 👍

The more I hear about Lazer TVs the more I feel they'd be perfect for my basement. Now to save up the moolah.

Hey @Chris Majestic, great video again! You really nailed all of the points regarding replacing a living room flat panel TV with a Laser TV. Hisense REALLY did a great job on their L9G and I can't wait to see it in person. Much like you, I end up watching things on my projector setup just to watch something on my projector setup as well since I love the immersiveness. I've gone down several "4K HDR Nature" KZfaq black holes as a result and you end up wondering where the time went. lol. I wonder how well the VividStorm screen would work with this projector in the well lit livingroom since it seems to do better than most in ambient light. Keep up the great work. I always look forward to your video reviews of projectors/UST/Laser TVs.

Just found your channel not too long ago and I get more questions answered in a 7 min video than the time it takes to find someone in the store that only has half a clue of what they're talking about. Thank you, keep the videos coming. You're my guy when it comes to home entertainment. Take it easy.

Thanks much Chris for the compare. Counting the days to my VAVA Chroma!

After watching your Videos , I decided to get a Short throw projector , I have the Epson LS300 with the klipsch audio system works with 100 " screen , I love it and I am happy I found your KZfaq channel

Couldn’t have explained it better, agree 100% with what you said, I own a l5g 120 inch Hisense and I LOVE it, only downside is that you do have to place it on a room with low ambient light , something similar to the ambient of a romantic restaurant in order for the image to look great, do not buy if you have a lot of ambient light, get a tv instead , but if you manage to have a semi dark room , the ultra short throw is a no brainer, image quality and the huge dimensions is pure dopamine.

Bought the hisense l5 based on ur video .. it’s in my great room with crazy amount of light .. love it .. moved my 82 Samsung to the back deck .. haven’t watched the 82 in ages as u said I find excuses to watch the L5

been waiting for this video! thanks

This is a great question I needed answered

I've had one of the first Optoma P1's and an ALR screen for a couple years now. We love it.

Great video mate, some very good points there.

Dude, I have been banging my head against a wall for the last 2 months wondering when you will release a video like this. I really wanted to hear your opinion on the topic. Thank you!!!

Thanks, I definitely was curious of this topic bro.

Great info as always Chris! You be the man. ^^

Great info! Would definitely consider one for my basement space. Though, I had to chuckle when you said the LG C1 is an entry level oled. It's their latest oled with the C1 being the highest behind the G1, with the A1 and B1 behind it. Even then I'd consider the Vizio H-1 as an entry level oled.

Wow so epic. I am from the era of big back TV sets.very outstanding.

For normal living room situations, an 86" TV for a couple of grand is the best option.

Thanks Chris, super helpful!!

Crystal clear as with all your videos! Thanks and I will stick with my OLED for now :)

Great content I been watching for a while, 1 request is it possible for you to show more examples of these projectors outside

Great straightforward review…well done mate…

Thank you for making awesome videos like this one.

Would a laser standard/long throw projector be a better choice if you have the space for the throw? More focused on the budget and brightness, but I'm wondering if the longer throw will effect daily use in ambient lit rooms even if the ANSI Lumens noted are higher than the UST priced equivalent Say the Optoma GTR1090HDR (4200 ANSI Lumens) vs any of the ~2k USTs (~2700 ANSI Lumens)?

As always, excellent video. I'm looking to replace my few years old JVC projector with one of these UST projectors and wondering what would your recommendation be? I plan on using it for Xbox and Ps5 gaming and occasional movie watching. It will be installed in a completely dark room.

Thanks for the video!

Thanks for the info. I would love to try one of these but I think my heart will always be with top premium LED TVs for the living room.

KZfaq has been keeping you secret from me. I needed your last 3 vids. Very impressive well done sir.

@Chris Majestic, Unless I missed it, though I've searched around, I do not see where you perhaps compared the Xgimi Aura to the other Laser TV's that you've been discussing, it looks like based on what Ive been able to find a pretty good deal at $2499 for up to 150", that on your list to eventually look at?

First off, thanks for a great channel and all the work you put into it!! In my opinion, you have the best channel going in this segment. Secondly, I am in the process of building a Mancave/Sports Bar at my home. I will have 100% light control, and I plan on having some dimmed lights on while we are in there enjoying the cave. The screen will likely be used mostly for sports when entertaining. I do plan on sitting in there with the family to watch movies as well, for which all the lights will be off. I will be painting with flat, dark colors. The dimensions of my room are 20' x 52'. I am planning on putting the screen on one of the 20' walls. Do you have a recommended combination of screen type/color along with a projector for my application? I am thinking the Cinegrey 5D 135" to handle the ambient dimmed lights, and looking at so many projectors that I'm overwhelmed. Thanks in advance for any advice and for a great channel!

yooo i like your videos i watch them over and over bcus u really give good info man and i would like to say for your next videos about a laser projector can you compare it wit a regular 4k tv like a walmart 4k tv input lags and all that ?

The Elite Screen Ambient Light Absorbing screen is the best, in full room light it is almost like an OLED screen and with sunlight coming in it varies but I put in a corner that hardly gets any light and then it really excels in the dark.

Thanks for the great video :) What about lamp life and cost?

i have sony AF8 65" for the normal days, and when i need i take the magic: vividstorm alr electric 120" and samsung LSP9T ...now i am in a perfect state! :D

To be fair, OLED's don't hold up in really bright rooms either. Seems to me laser becomes a really compelling option when you are looking to step up above the 85 inch size category. I'm running an 85 inch Sony X90H and my next TV purchase will really come down to cost parity between OLED and laser a couple years from now. The 85-in size is pretty much perfect since we sit about 10 ft away, but the L9G with the Cinema screen does look mighty tempting!

Please review the XGIMI 4k led projector too. Thanks !

Hey Chris! What LED kit are you using on the back of your screens? I see they follow the colors on the outside edge. I'm looking to do something like that. Thanks!!

Just picked up deal on the jmgo 01 for my bedroom. At under $800 for 90" image . It great for night time on light colored wall or white screen otherwise a proper UST screen.

I’d be really interested to see the living room performance with a Fresnel screen! Please test and compare for us!

I can't wait to experience this with the family and friends. Looks cool asf

Laser TVs have the size battle won...and you HAVE to imagine that the gap between "the best image an OLED can produce" vs "The best image a laser TV can produce" is only going to narrow with time. I mean...the human eye can only actively see and appreciate SO MUCH quality...I think we are very much reaching the point where these upper-tier displays are fighting for very small percentage points in visible quality difference, if not less than a percentage point.

I've had several top brand tv's, but since I bought my projector. It's no contest!

I have bin eyeing the optoma uhz50 or the lg hu810pw. Any thoughts? Not sure if the uhz50 is really out yet. Looking forward to reviews for it.

Hi Chris... another great little vid! Just wondered if the Nord VPN discount deal is only for USA or does it cover Europe too. Cheers

Thanks for sharing

In my living room we have a 75 inch tv in my room i have the optoma laser projector but set up for a projector is tough especially since I’m not the richest person and they create a lot of heat so if you a small room it can make quite hot in there finding the right height and screen is center and good is very hard

Would the Hisense 88L5VG (88 inch version) be an overkill to view from 3 meters away? What is the recommended distance for something that big?

Any plans for reviews on Sony projector screens? Specifically compared to best ultra short throw would be great !

One pro for laser tv projectors vs large led tv is that projectors are better for your eyes. Less blue light.

Which lazer UST projector would you recommend for dual movie and game use on a Vividstorm screen in a light controlled room?

Hey Chris how far down would you mount the top of a 120” screen on a 96” tall wall for one of these short throw lasers? I’ve got a room over my garage that has a wall that tapers on the left and right but I have 90” across the wall at the ceiling and I want to put the screen on. If I use a 100” screen the width is 90”+/- if I use a 120” screen I’d need to drop it down to get the approximately 104”+/- screen. What do you think. Also can you give me your affiliate links for the best laser and the best screen. I’m not concerned about the $$ (within reason)I want maximum performance. Thanks

Hi. Great videos. How are projector screens with kids. We have two young kids and I worry one hand on it and it’s destroyed. Any advice appreciated.

Picked up the Hisense 100L5F in July as it is the only tv in my home and honestly can't go back to smaller screen now. Just hoping the technology for these UST's can get better in regards to black level as it would really help to eliminate the blacks turning to grey because of their brightness when I eventually upgrade. Also hoping the set up gets easier as honestly I almost returned the laser tv because setting up the projector itself took several hours to align to the screen and was an exercise in frustration. Would like the picture to just snap in place with some sort of variable adjustments as having a fixed focus and constantly making adjustments to the legs was irritating.

thank you for this. Making the dive in laser projectors. I'm pretty set on it and this is the extra nudge. =)

Hey Chris! I bought the Hiesense L9G 120 inch all because of your fantastic reviews on it. I absolutly love it BUT what settings do you use for movies? I find very little information on suggested settings for it. Thanks!

I don’t know bro. My 77 inches LG C1 begs to differ.

Thank you SUPER video from you. "All thumbs up" 👍👍👍

What to do...what to do. Christmas is coming up and I have been a good boy this year :)

When are you gonna review the XGIMI AURA short throw projector???

I have seen lot of your videos, great content. I have a dedicated basement space with onkyo Dolby Atmos surround sound and 65 inch tv. I want to upgrade my screen. The screen wall is appx 100 inch wide, so i can only use 100 inch screen, since Hisense l9g 120 inch requires >118 inch wide wall. Now, I am thinking if I should go for 85 inch tv instead of 100 inch laser tv. What are your thoughts

Yes, i think OLED TV is still preferable, i just want to see it with my own eyes to decide what to buy to. 85" and 120" display size comparison as well. I guess after that i'll decide what to buy. Samsung Neo QLED is damn impressive as well on 85" display

Can you buy the hisense without the screen? I'd like to get the vividstorm rising screen, but I don't see the hisense available anywhere without the screen. Thinking of going with Samsung if not. Thanks

When you said 135 inch tv, I subscribed lol

Hi great review can i use it with a 120 " transparent scope screen thx

Just got me an Epson LS100 Home Cinema for $1250, came with a 2021 Apple TV 4k, and only had 400hrs on the laser usage. We are very happy with the 4k lumens it produces because we can see it with all the blinds open in the living room. Just look out there for good deals and I recommend these laser projectors for big screens anywhere.

How about light rejection screen? Does these solve some problems? What about a xiaomi projector? That can lower the price significantly? Does it look much worse?

Do you know anything about the ommc ultra short throw projector on Amazon?

I have the L9G but my image on white text bleeds blue and red. I haven't fully calibrated the projector to the screen but I don't think it will help remove the edge effect. Is this normal or is this a defect?

Can you mount the laser TV on the ceiling to save space?

I was looking on ebay, used 3300 ansi projectors for around $200, not too bad. Not a lazer TV, but it's worth noting if you are on a budget and looking for a projector.

What would be better for a “cinema” room for 100-130 inch room? A projector or a laser tv?

It depends, I have been using Samsung FHD 32" TV and FHD projector with 120" screen for the past 12(TV) 9(Projector) years. I watch movies and play games on the projector with some TV Shows as well. And I used my TV for normal things like internet, TV Shows, youtubing, 3d modeling/rendering, designing etc. Both of them were close in brightness, colors, contrast and detail, etc in the favor of TV. Now while i am waiting for my 4k laser long throw projector (LG HU810p - 3000USD), because i don't wanna be limited by getting a short throw projector, which I'll be getting in Feb or March next year I replaced my TV with Samsung's 50" 4k HDR curved Smart TV and have been using for the past couple of months now. The black levels on the TV are so great and every time a black screen appears when scene (in the movies/shows/games) changes It seems like that TV is turned off. The black scenes look so realistic and not to mention the TV is very very bright. The sharpness and the colors everything is so great that I stopped using my FHD projector after watching couple of movies and not enjoying because of getting spoiled by my 4k tv so I've been adding all the content I'd like to watch on the projector for my new 4k projector and it includes the games as well. While I am looking forward to my projector but I don't think it will come close to my 4k TV, and the ones who can match it are very expensive. Since I am very lenient and I know the black levels of LG HU810p are average, i won't have any problems because I love bigger display more even If it costs me deeper blacks. And my media room is very dark so I think I will make few adjustments to get the better black levels. But yeah right now a laser projector can't replace the TV unless you can afford 10,000+ $ to Sony's new 80000$ 10,000 lumes 4k laser projector.

Another con of these laser TVs IMO is the non-replaceable lightsource. With an average of 20,000 hours the lifespan of these laser projectors is only about one-fifth that of a TV. Sure that's a lot of hours but we are talking about replacing a living room TV here not a dedicated home theater setup. Plenty of people have their living room TV on from the time they get home till the time they go to bed at night whether they're seriously watching it or not. I often have my TV on just in the background while doing housework etc. On the weekend this might mean it's on all day and all night and those hours will rack up quick in this situation. For this reason I personally prefer a standard projector setup with an ambient light rejecting. Just choose a projector in the 3000 lumens range and the results should be similar to these laser TV's. I have an Epson 5030UB that I purchased about 8 years ago and it's still going strong. I really wish there was an indicator in the menu that would tell me the total number of hours it has on it because I can tell you it's a lot.

what would you prefer 83" C2 LG or 100" Laser front projector for a basement movie theater with complete light control

But cost for most proper set ups, if your doing a fixed 100" setup , I'd take a 85-86" tv for living rooms for quality. They definitely make sense for 120" + to go laser TV. But yes I'll take large projector screen over OLED blacks all day too.

Bro is going full throttle on that Laser TV term. It's a projector my guy.

the lasers could take some notes from the CRT's of years passed, shooting the lasers from the rear onto a surface comprised of phosphors could cause the phosphors to glow and allow us to look at a screen that is illuminating light itself, instead of a screen with light being shot ontop of it. That would allow for near perfect darks and great contrast, anyone who still has a crt today can back that claim up

Are there any laser projector that support hdmi 2.1, VRR, and 120hz?

Another important point that was not mentioned is that once you reach the end of the laser's lifespan, that's it, there is no replacing it. If you have your TV on all day for the kids and all night for yourself the end will come quicker than you would expect like 5 years. I purchased the Epson LS10000 for 8,000.00 CDN when it came out, 4 or 5 years later (20,000 hours) on high brightness it's an expensive paperweight, just last month when I enquired about a laser replacement I was told it would cost 16,000.00 CDN. Still looking for a replacement for it but if it was using bulbs I could still be enjoying it. Hoping the manufacturers come out with a reasonable laser replacement cost in the future.

can't believe you mounted your TV over the firplace lol

Have a chance to look at the final version of the VAVA Chroma?

For me, this is the upgrade of choice, coming from 10 year old plasma. I'm already used to inferior blacks, so anything will be an upgrade. Considering the prices I would pay for 75-85" tvs of comparable quality to a laser, the 100-120" screen size is the deciding factor. Yeah, there are some cheaper ones out there, but oled is on the way out imho. Plus, it hangs on the wall, adding even more depth, and I won't have to worry about someone knocking over those flimsy new tvs. My plasma tv is a rock, the news ones ain't! It'll be a pain to assemble, but the hisense 9g will upgrade my cinema room to the next level...atleast til AR is a thing.

@Chris, Nobody seems to post about the Optoma Cinemax P2 anymore. We're moving into our new home next month and I plan on pairing it with an Slate .08 Screen Innovations screen. The P2 went from product of the year to zero meantions at all.

EPSON LS500 brightness seems like it should have gotten a mention here.... even though you don’t like it for the protruding top. It’s the brightest in this range...

Epson eh-ls12000b or any other long throw laser projector Vs TV ?

Awesome video once again. Between lsp9t and l9g which one will you choose for a light controlled room? I have the sony a80j 77”, so which of these will get me close to the picture quality I am used to. Also can you suggest me a 120” screen for the ust? Thanks in advance

what about a frame around the projected screen so you don't have to blackout your entire room?

I have a question for you after all the talk of black levels. How do consumer projectors and TVs compare to cinema (movie theatre) black levels? I guess if we are happy to pay for a movie ticket and not complain about cinema black it would seams a fair comparison. Thank you.

. What about heat ,fan noise and Laser Caution. On those models shown?

Thanks Chris, what short throw projector would you recommend for a 100 inch screen? Thanks bud

bigger screen is essentially all that matters, you can work around or adjust the image quality, its not that big of a deal

I'd be interested to know how do these UST projectors look on a darker/grey screen? And how does it compare to an LCD/LED in terms of black levels? (comparisons to OLED are a waste of time imo) My primary reason to go the projector route is 3D since there are sadly no 3D TVs being produced these days.

I’d take the lg c1 hands down not even close

please review the XGIMI projectors

Thanks.

Thanks

You could have 120 to 200 inch theater In your basement or other room if you have the room. Their is No OLED even close to that. I have my own Theater . I have a 65 and a projector

It did in my housee. 110", not going back. (Vava UST with an EluneVision Reference 110" 8K Ultra Short Throw NanoEdge Projection Screen)

Does the Hisense support 60 FPS for gaming?
