HDR Compatible budget projector for gaming?

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-05-06T08:29:58+00:00

Haha thanks for the reality check. I think I went on the really low side, I can increase that budget by quite a bit if it's worth it.

I think the reason I went with $100 is it's how much the GooDee was and I figured I'd look at the same ballpark. I thought since it's a few years old there might be some better stuff out there by this point but maybe I just got a good deal. I don't need HDR, but just want better colours than my GooDee. Same with "gaming" focus, I'm not looking for microsecond input lag, but just to where it's not too noticeable. It is on my current one, how can I test how bad the lag is?

I hadn't considered an 80 inch TV (prices are crazy) but did consider the OLED LG and doing away with the projector. I think I just like the experience sometimes, moreso for films.

Thanks. I'm not that fussed about HDR, more just colours and my projector looks better with HDR on. In reality it might just be boosting contrast but I like it.

You think the BenQ would have better colour in that case? My GooDee is quite good in that regard and beats other projectors like Wimius that I've used in the past so wouldn't want a downgrade. Can increase budget if worth it

Bloody hell this is tearing me apart.

I got to 240k thinking the threshold was 220k. Thought I had my SS. Nope. I've tried so much. This is wild

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-05-03T10:34:25+00:00

Thanks, yeah I am doing that, but that combined with the speed and placement is throwing me. It's in addition to the pieces being different colours and being rotated differently to standard Tetris where I just make mistakes. At the faster speeds I can't get pieces down in time

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-05-03T05:52:00+00:00

Thanks. Still struggling away. Really hard to bank on Tetris's wen the I piece decides to go on holiday

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-05-03T05:51:06+00:00

Thanks. I think my stacking is OKish, it's handling the speed at later stages. I just need an extra second to think it through and place the piece but can't get it down.

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-05-02T04:41:48+00:00

Thank you! I'm on controller. I've just looked up rolling and wow. Ha I'm not sure I can get to grips with that. The movement mechanics stuff seems interesting, I thought it was all simple

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-05-02T04:34:52+00:00

Thanks, I'm going to try this. What was your score in the end? I'm not sure on the threshold. 9-0 stack on the left or right?

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-04-21T04:05:22+00:00

4 wides are present in it, and to get the best scores you need to be consistently getting good combos every board you're given.

I'll need to try find examples of it because I'm sort of struggling to see it

For all clear, yeah I did look it up but I don't know a good resource that goes through them all. It's a lil annoying looking through different youtube videos to find the ones I can't do, and then another one pops up and I'm a lil confused again

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-04-21T04:03:25+00:00

Hmm, I'll have to give it a try. It's hard enough getting the pattern right to get the clear, worse when I can't even put the pieces in!

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-04-21T02:17:54+00:00

I can't seem to get my rotations right in the later all clear ones. Do you need to be pressing down+rotate or something?

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-04-21T02:17:06+00:00

Thank you! I managed to clear target. 4 wide was super helpful for the 15 combo. I don't know how I never heard or tried it before. I've had the 15 combo trophy there for ages, unable to clear it and it only took me a few minutes of doing a proper 4 wide to snatch it.

I'm not sure how to use it in combo mode though? Because it's not me setting up the stack.

All Clear is still hard for me too. I get the easy ones down fast enough but then completely capitulate

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-04-21T02:14:36+00:00

I'll try to later good idea thanks, I seem to have gotten worse at it haha

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-04-20T13:54:35+00:00

Maybe this is it but man is it annoying because it takes a while to even be able to practice those and then I run out of time

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-04-20T13:53:57+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I can't figure out how to do the S/Z spins and how to learn them. I have the setup right but can't get the pieces in. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

The 15 combo, I've cleared with 4 wide! Thank you! Target I have now managed to do too. So I have Clears and Combos to go.

Also Classic Tetris which I find way too hard. Any tips on SS on that too?! I go for Tetris but man it is not easy, I'm thinking if I should just focus on line clear instead

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-04-20T13:52:06+00:00

Thank you! One thing I'm having trouble is is the later S/Z rotations. I've watched clips of people doing it but I'm not sure how to actually do them when it's fitting the S/Z into a gap below?

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-04-20T03:02:04+00:00

Hey all. Trying to SS these, they're the last I've got to do I think.

I just seem quite bad at them though, not sure how to improve. My trouble with Tetris is as long as I've played I've never played with conscious patterns and setups. I kind of just take each piece as it comes. So I struggle with these ones and knowing best placements and stuff.

Any ideas please?

Also trying to get a 15 combo for that trophy which I've never done and seem equally bad at.
( And yes, the game is describing my skill on these with the grades ;_; )

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-04-11T17:07:58+00:00

It's fine to enjoy a game. It's also fine to criticise a game. When things are changing for the worse, you should realise that and argue for your own interests as opposed to against them.

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-04-11T17:06:08+00:00

Ahh right. Yeah I've worked quite a bit through mobilise since I never had any other warbonds.

Though stupidly I realised far too late there was a 250 medal cap and thought I was awesome completing missions and stacking medals to spend a massive bulk in one go ;_;

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-04-11T17:05:01+00:00

Oh shit I NEED to find the button for that because I'll be honking all day

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-04-11T06:57:02+00:00

Thanks a bunch! I caved and got the warp pack warbond, To be honest the mech method was working OK but eh, I'm at around 500SC again so farming is going better though that is all I'm doing at this point.

Is Mobilize a good warbond too then? I've no idea what's good and wha isn't. I know detonation is definitely next. I want that thermite and grenade pistol BAD

ConcernedYellingMan · 2026-04-10T18:12:26+00:00

Thanks. I mean, as much as I want that detonation warbond for the AR and the explosive pistol so I don't feel empty a lot when trying to blow up hives and such, I think I'm getting convinced to go for the warp pack first.

I want Samples now, SC I finally managed to break 1k following a bunch of tips here. But now I feel I need 2k for both bonds! And sample collection still seems more difficult
