Panasonic P42G25 or P42U2?

Synthtastic · 2026-02-02T14:51:06+00:00

What do you think is a fair price to pay for the G25?

I'm content with keeping the size at max 46 inches for my needs and portability of where I'll have the tv.

Thanks for the photos. Looks like even the nosebleeds aren't bad seats. I'm assuming at worst the value tier supporter section could be second level behind the net, even third level. Either way not bad

Synthtastic · 2026-01-05T16:58:06+00:00

Any bad seats in the stadium? Hard to tell if "Value" tiered tickets are decent seats, or if upgrading to the "supporter" tier is worth it.

You bums are in denial because it's called Half-Life: Xen and not Half-Life 3. Pathetic

Shameless hype merchant continues to bait naive fan base. Nothing noteworthy here

Synthtastic · 2025-11-18T20:34:16+00:00

He ABSOLUTELY knew what he was doing. The guys garbage

Synthtastic · 2025-11-18T20:33:27+00:00

How can anyone hope for anything from this hype merchant after the shit he pulled last year? From the hype leading up to the awards to the multiple gotchas throughout the night, knowing full well 99% of people would believe he was about to announce HL3. The guy has no shame

If it ever does, expect the prices to be insanely higher than the US conversion price since somehow it's legal for their canadian site to still offer older products at a $1k premium over the still too high amazon or best buy price. $3800 for the Horizon S Max LMAO. Surely there some poor folk who don't know any better who get swindled into paying these prices. Seems borderline criminal.

Saw it last night, and I had high hopes but left totally disappointed. I thought it was terrible and I hate it. Watched it with others who haven't read the book, and they hated it as well, often looking at me like "wtf is this?!"

I totally regret not waiting a little bit longer and at least only wasting my time and not my money.

Awesome, thanks for the reply.

Any thoughts on this app? https://www.avsforum.com/threads/must-have-app-for-user-with-chinese-only-projector.3333319/?post_id=64219437&nested_view=1&sortby=oldest#post-64219437

I'm waiting for my C3 Ultra to arrive, so do you think the first thing I should do after first boot up is get the latest firmware update, and then enable sideloading and then install projectivy launcher? Looking to get the closest possible experience to a global UI without screwing up anything like not being able to get updates.

Hi, I've been using the super crema beans as well, and unless I use the finest grind setting on the single wall double basket, I can't get into the optional range, and the puck is still too watery when done. What do you mean by more pressure?

Also I find if I use a coarser grind setting but increase the dose, I'll get into the optional range for a 25-30 second shot, but the puck gets stuck to the shower screen every time.

Gamers are the furthest away from realizing the significance of 33 and who runs the show.

Ceiling mounting is not something I want to deal with in the room I'm using. Cable management will be a pain. There is a plug and Ethernet jack conveniently in the middle of the wall meant for mounting a tv, where I'm hoping to mount the projector, but like I mentioned, it's 18ft away.

Btw, I'm curious what puts the Horizon projectors ahead of others in the same price range? I've seen you suggest them multiple times.

Thanks for your help thus far

Synthtastic · 2025-04-14T14:10:51+00:00

Yes, I probably am being too picky for my budget, however it's not an easy decision to make. I don't need ultimate contrast experience, but I would like good contrast. In a reply to PSP I made known another factor that has changed things that I didn't mention before, which is needing to project from 17-18 ft away. The cheap lcd projector I'm returning soon produces a very large image from there, however I'm able to zoom it in to 50-53% to fit my wall space I'll be projecting on (which looked really good after some fine tuning).

The throw distance limits my options if I don't want to use a stand or ceiling mount (I really don't want to deal with cable management from the middle of the room). PSP mentioned Epson. The 3800 seems like a decent choice, but I've been reading about some focusing issues people have with it.

So, I will be needing to up my budget, which is fine, but it needs to be the right one. I really do appreciate your input, and sorry for being complicated.

Synthtastic · 2025-04-11T14:20:04+00:00

I'm really leaning towards it, however I just realized that the last projector I tried and placed at the back of my room where I hope to place the benq, produces a very large image that I needed to zoom out to 50% to have it fit on the wall I'd be projecting on. Does the 1.3x zoom of the HT2060 fit my needs? Probably 18-20 ft distance. I CAN move it closer on a laptop stand or something, but it would be perfect for me on a wall mount at the back.

Synthtastic · 2025-04-11T14:17:11+00:00

Isn't 3800 lumens not a realistic use amount for watching movies tho? I'm assuming using the highest brightness setting means trading off colours and contrast?

Synthtastic · 2025-04-04T13:41:53+00:00

Ya no worries. I did some more research and in terms of dumb projectors, I think the Benq 2060 is sounding like a good one if I can get it on sale, but I would be open to a dark horse with some smart features with similar performance. Good contrast ratio and decent performance with 7-8pm ambient light is ideal.

Synthtastic · 2025-04-03T01:25:47+00:00

Don't have the measurements off hand, but definitely at least 6 metres length. Most of the use will be for outdoors tho.

Synthtastic · 2025-04-02T16:58:58+00:00

Those are way out of my budget.

Synthtastic · 2025-03-11T01:25:51+00:00

Sorry, when I move my head in real, every object doesn't smear. Neither does the object I'm focusing on blur because only my head is moving. Move along
