New tv time, to curve or not?

[diablo rojo]

On Blu-ray, yes. UVerse is pretty damn close.

Can you actually tell its 1080P, like how 1080P is just on a regular led? awkwardly clear...

It's very bright during the day.

Blu-ray looks vivid and bright.
UVerse is bright.
PC is dimmer, but likely due to a setting in the pc itself.

I've never had a problem with fan noise. We use it everyday, have just under 2500 lamp hours in 1 year. It's a champ.

My BenQ W1070 is listing for $699 and it's an amazing projector.

I say go for it man. You won't regret it.

I was blown away by how cheap some 1080P projectors were!

Your benQ how is it on bright days? 1080P actually comparable to a screen and bluray player?

My new problem is this is so dang tempting, great reviews, half the price of TV even when you add in a screen....just have to figure out how high to mount it etc and get it aligned up between two ceiling fans....and an IR repeater...

No.

If you hang it on the wall, isn't a curved screen gonna look weird as fuck? Frys has like a 80 or 90" 4k tv on display and the picture is stunning. It was like seeing 1080p for the first time when all you had in the past was standard def. I thought the difference was that big.

[Baba Ganoush]

The curved screens seem to handle glare much better.

[zachary]

we sit about 10' away and want a 65" screen...seems perfect to me for 1080p

I was skeptical too but I got a 50" Samsung 4k and it's a night and day difference if you own a PC that can actually push 4k content to the max. I know I wont ever buy a 1080 again but that's me.

Sitting far away from a 4k isn't very beneficial. If you plan on sitting more than 8 ft away from a 50/55 inch, I'd go with the 1080.

For monitor use make sure it can do 2160@60p(60hz) and supports 4:4:4 chroma subsampling. Also, there are some threads in AVS forums saying how the "HDMI 2.0" chipsets in these newer 4k TVs likely wont support true 4k Bluray without a 400 dollar converter box when it's released.

Its the same with audio. I had to buy a special 4k pioneer receiver that has pass through 2160@60p/4:4:4 chroma to get everything hooked up right.
