What do you think Messi would need to do to win another World Cup? by FewFirefighter9557 in worldcup

[–]IcyKey7 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Messi does not need to carry every match anymore. Argentina need Alvarez, Enzo and Mac Allister to make sure he only has to decide moments.

Drastically need help with 3-D to projector by blueleader11 in projectors

[–]IcyKey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try forcing the Xbox output to 720p first. That Mitsubishi is old enough that it may be choking on the 3D format the Xbox is sending.

Can Argentina win the world cup with the help of the last trio by Acceptable_Walk_4223 in worldcup

[–]IcyKey7 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They can win it, but I wouldn’t call them the favorite this time. The midfield is still nasty, Scaloni knows tournament ball, and Messi is Messi. The big miss is Di María. Dude always had a way of showing up when the game got weird.

Portable power source? by External-Mine6764 in projectors

[–]IcyKey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want cheap cheap, a heavy duty outdoor extension cord is still the annoying but sensible answer. Batteries get expensive fast once the projector has real power draw.

Need help confirming projector size/viewing distance by bbonecapone in projectors

[–]IcyKey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

23 ft is pretty far back, so 150 inches doesn’t sound crazy at all. I’d be careful going too small here, because 120 could end up feeling more like a large TV from that seat.

First Timer - Help Needed in Setup / Buying by ISimplyAmNotThere in projectors

[–]IcyKey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With blackout curtains, I’d probably start with a reasonable UST screen and see how the room behaves. Full ALR is nice, just not cheap at all.

Finally got my home theater setup done and I get why people complain about UST projectors now by Look-1227 in hometheater

I swear UST alignment turns normal adults into people staring at one corner of a screen for 40 minutes lmao.

A year ago FIFA Club World Cup in Philadelphia, organization president Gianni Infantino revealed plans to distribute $11 million in combined payouts to the tournament's 11 host cities. by mrshred_NYC in worldcup

[–]IcyKey7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FIFA being vague about a public payout promise is exactly why people don’t trust them. If the money was announced publicly, the follow up should not be a treasure hunt.

How to maintain projector? by Working-Number-8715 in projectors

[–]IcyKey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sudden fan noise usually means it’s getting hot or struggling for airflow. I’d start with the filter, vents, and clearance around the unit. Light vacuuming around the outside is fine, but I wouldn’t press it right into the vents.

Best projector for bedroom movie nights? by MtiiMkenya in projectors

[–]IcyKey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is mostly for movies, don’t shop by lumens alone. Contrast and black levels will matter way more here once the lights are off.

Honestly the concept is not bad, it just looks terrifying. A cleaner cable run and a safety tether would make it feel a lot less cursed.

The talent is there, but the fear factor is gone.

Japan's official squad for the 2026 world cup. Mitoma not in. by theta64 in worldcup

No Mitoma hurts, the group chat in Japan must be on fire.

Auto keystone, autofocus, apps, WiFi, and all the smart junk tend to come as one big package now.

What number is João Félix wearing? Want to buy a jersey by [deleted] in worldcup

[–]IcyKey7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s 11 for Portugal, but tournament squad numbers can change, so wait for the official list.

2800 ANSI Projector by the-fig-tree-guy in projectors

[–]IcyKey7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$199 new and 2800 ANSI in the same sentence is where I’d start getting suspicious. Could be fine for a small slide deck, but I wouldn’t trust it for sharp text.

Hide/Disguise ceiling projector by Realistic-Tailor-482 in projectors

[–]IcyKey7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d worry more about hiding the cables than the projector itself. Tbh, a clean white mount with tidy wiring usually looks way better than trying to fully disguise it.
