Projectors man....... projectors. And i say again, i calibrated the TVs myself using settings I got from AVS. And was sending pictures to both of them. Looked at like 20 different pics in addition to solid white. For thise wondering why, I am contemplating upgrading my 1080p projector to a 4k projector...... and those things aren't cheap. I needed to see first hand and spend some good time with 4k material to see if the costs are justified. Yet some people here are making this about MS and sony.....smh. |
Can you easily zoom out on your projecter, as in make it project at 55 inches in the middle of the screen?
If so, downscale some 1080p pictures to 540p and resize them back up to 1080p (pixel doubling, not resampling), then compare the two from your normal sitting position in that shrunk down window. If you see a noticeable difference then 4K upgrade is worth it. (resolution wise anyway)
Ofcourse actual 4K content won't look as good due to chroma subsampling. To make the test better you need to save both pictures as jpg in 4:2:0 format, before resizing the 540p one back to 1080p. The difference is the same anyway.
Anyway if you test 4K pictures on a 1080p set you're actually comparing downsampled 4K vs native 4K. It would be nice to see 3 versions together, blu-ray on 1080p, 4K UHD version on 1080p and on a 4K set. Where is the bigger difference I wonder.
