Two generations of people consumed television & film sitting 6 feet away from a 20" crt TV but /tv/ is too high and mighty to watcha movie on a laptop...
>>219095139Counterpoint, back then they made programs to be watched on a display that size, that meant everything looked crisp, in strong shades of black and white.Put a modern 4k movie on one of those, and you won't be able to see shit, because they're made to be watched on big TVs.
>>219095243today they make programs to function as a background noise while people doomscrolling. that's why everything looks like shit, because the audience doesn't care and won't notice it. you might as well watch the flat, colorless, badly lit and badly written slop on a laptop.
>>219095139I have a beautiful 55" LG CX, that was the 2020 model. It still works great because I always watch in Filmmaker mode without the brightness too high. I'm going to go bigger on my next TV.
>>219095395I agree, it's a crime. The production companies are sadly aware that attention spans are trending downwards, so to pander to to the average consumer, there will be less and less incentive to spend money on a coherent plot, set designs, actors, dialogue etc.
>>219095139and now we are a step away from Fahrenheit 451 walls
>>219095243>Counterpoint, back then they made programs to be watched on a display that size, that meant everything looked crisp, in strong shades of black and white.Not only that, but in that era, people were accustomed to the radio. Many people treated TV shows as radio shows with pictures if you felt like looking at it. You could just listen to the show and use your imagination to figure out what was happening.
>>219095139The thing is that TV back then wasn't filled with detail. You didn't need any big screen because everything was shot with perfect 1:1 framing and huge text that is readable. It wasn't until like the 70s or 80s that we started getting more detail, going from 100p to 240p. Now we also had home video and you want thet to look really good because it isn't some crappy broadcast.
>>219095695>Xe isn't watching Ferenheit 451 on a 120" screen (CD for size comparison)The future is now, old man.
>>219095395The next logical step is to make micro TV shows shot and written to be watched on phones. Asia already has a booming market for scripted short form content with story beats happening in rapid succession. It’s only a matter of time before Disney and Netflix catch on.
redpill me on projectors, is the only downside that you need a dark room? when i move i want to get rid of TV, do my work/vidya on a computer and have dedicated projector purely for kino night purposes
>>219095928Most new streaming shit is already designed for watching it vertically (in widescreen).
>>219095928i think they tried this with tiktok or maybe snapchat? vertical shows produced for the phone and it bombed. but that was around 2016-2018. lot changed since.
>>219095890i have a projectorwtf would i want something the size of a wall when i can have it in the size of a can?
>>219095139>Thousands generations of people shat in the woods every day but /tv/ is too high and mighty to shit in the street...truly, saar
>>219095139..why the dance dance revolution museum look so fancy, negro
>>219095139Wish I had a living room like this. I fucking hate being poor so much.
>>219096039they are pretty great. i have a nebula 3 capsule laser projectori think it's fine even in a moderately lit room, but i don't use it much during the daythere may be some lag in vidya, but the only vidya i've played with it weren't twitchy enough for me to pick up on it, i need to test it out some morei'm super impressed by everything crammed into the little guy. i like that it has speakers that work fine enough for me.it just sits on a shelf in my living room. can connect to it via hdmi or bluetooth, and it has an sd slot to play files off of directly.
>>219096339>sd slotmy bad, usb3 slot
>>219096039Projectors today are not like yesterday. They have been designed for some years now to specifically work during the day because that's what people want.Brightest are bulb, then laser, and lastly LED. There are two types really, 3LCD which create a red, blue, and green image in there separate LCDs and combines them into one picture (more expensive) and single LCD/DLP which uses tiny mirrors to create a red, green, and blue image on sequence. There are hybrid lamps like using a Laser + LED. There are color wheels (usually in cheaper projectors and bulb projectors) which spin fast while the lamp shines through to make the color. There are 480p, 720p, 1080p, and 4k projectors. Currently there are native 4k, True 4k, and eShift 4k projectors going from most expensive to least expensive (usually). A native 4k uses a native chip or 8 billion pixels. A true 4k uses pixel shifting (the machine draws 4 pixels on the screen in clockwise order to do 8 billion pixels), and eShift which is mostly by Epson to do 2.5k aka 1440p (I don't know how they get away with that marketing).Right now I currently got a True 4k triple laser. So instead of a single white laser shining through a color wheel it has dedicated RGB lasers (it's more like 20 lasers per RGB). Most good projectors today are chinkoid, Taiwanese, Korean, Japanese, and American. There are three types of image distance casting, Long Throw - which are mounted on the ceiling on a dedicated stand because the screen is very far away like a movie theater, short throw - which are usually placed Infront of you on a coffee table (I like these) or ceiling, and ultra short throw - which are placed next to a wall and cast upwards more like a TV. Some have smart features and some don't. The also bulbs use more power, LEDs uses less. Bulbs are louder and hotter, LEDs are less. But it sometimes depends on the model.Is a projector better than a TV? I think so. But there are many people who will never leave their OLEDs.
>>219095139a laptop is bigger than a TV if you're close to the screen
>>219096107>Xe doesn't know that's my projector screenI have it hanging on a metal clothing hanger on wheels. I love it. Its like 40 lbs in total weight. An OLED or LCD of this size would probably be over 100lbs or more needing two guys to set up.
>>219095139>8 framed pictures in a room of that same room
>>219096296Just get a nice rug and get some warm color bulbs.
>>219096572And put it into fucking what, my ass?
>>219095139My parents were poor for a while and we had a tiny black and white television for a while until they got better jobs and got their debts erased.
>>219096685>His bedroom isn't his living room, office, and media roomHow poor r u?
>>219095139My grandma's apartment in Poland looked just like this.
>>219096981In Eastern Germany it was possible to watch West German television. It's one of the reasons why propaganda didn't work so well.Ofcourse the television kinda lied and made everyone in the DDR think all Westerners were rich and drove around in BMWs.
>>219096880was fascinated with these things as a kid as my grandmother had one from like the 70s or somethingthe TV function is obsolete now obv but seen plenty videos on youtube of people pokeying around with them for the laugh and playing xbox and watching netflix and shit on them lol
>>219095139>/tv/ is too high and mighty to watcha movie on a laptop...Couldn't be me.
>>219096981Did you inherit it?
>>219096981PRLpunk is peak aesthetic
Film back then was in like 240p
>>219097129I always wanted a little TV like this. You have no idea how pissed off I was to learn that you couldn't use the Game Gear/Nomad TV tuner anymore because we switched to Digital broadcasts.
when i was younger tv and pc were only in the living room, i would download movies in .rmvb format on a 512kb/s radio internet then hard-code our eastern european subtitles from an srt file and transfer the result to a shitty mp4 player so i could watch the movie in bed in my roomall these moments will be lost in time
>>219096464Nta, thanks for the informative spoonfeed
>>219095139the what
>>219096464i second that anon, thank's for the explanation, it was very illuminating
>>219095928This is already a thing: see ReelShort
>>219098403kind of a shame alright but it was inevitable and 2bh sega should have seen that coming before pouring however many millions into those dumb gimmicky peripherals att
>>219098615pretty universal standard (in the 90s at least)there was the 'big TV' in the living room and if you were lucky you got a little ~14" shitbox or something for your vidya console in the bedroom
