1) Black-out shades are your friend

3) the awesome newly affordable technology is lasers - because of physics, there's no longer focusing to do.

5) Running wires to a TV is ugly too, unless you run conduit. Bugs the hell out of me to have dangling cords

6) I've always wondered about this. The remote should have the IR LEDs pointed backwards, like a V shape because it just makes more sense.

I'll add a 7. The blank space on your wall when not in use.

Either you have a screen that comes from somewhere, or the wall just has an empty space, but, quite obviously, the space the projector projects on needs to be free of stuff. I can't hang any art there, so there's glaringly empty space, at which point I might as well put a TV there. And the art frame tvs, like the LG LS03B is actually really quite nice.

It's amazing how much sunlight gets past the smallest gap.

Huh, I didn't know laser projectors were available now.


A big A/V conference concluded this past week, and there’s a decent looking portable laser on its way to the market from Optoma called the ML1080. Curious if anyone is aware of something similar in newness, quality and price.

I’m planning to paid it with an Apple TV. https://www.projectorcentral.com/ProjectorCentral-names-2023...


Phillips has https://screeneo.com/ which seems to be in the same category to me.

While true, my purchase from blinds.com included a L shaped piece of plastic to block out the gap between the wall and the blind so it's dark enough to use my projector during the day.
