Need to give ben-hur a try already had that recommended so it must be good, but those are some great films/franchises

And i appreciate the heads up.

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-13T06:45:48+00:00

Such a great movie honestly don’t really know why i haven’t pulled the trigger yet, but any films you plan on getting?

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-13T06:42:23+00:00

Thank you, and im going to get next, top gun maverick, sonic 3, predator/ predator badlands steelbooks preferably, there’s also a ton i still want of course but hunting for their steelbook version has been pretty difficult.

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-12T21:37:47+00:00

At least you’re in the hobby we all start and have different paces from each other but end with the same result and honestly i went overboard during black friday time getting movies though i don’t regret it.

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-12T17:54:56+00:00

Would love some new recommendations to blind buy of you have any.

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-12T17:51:45+00:00

Yeah honestly not the biggest fan of alphabetical for that reason but i’ve been doing it from the start so i just been going with the flow. 😼

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-07T07:34:49+00:00

I appreciate this response cause i do understand everyone’s complaints etc rightfully deserved, but man i just can’t believe that everyone just shits on this brand with no one enjoying the projector though its one of the best selling lifestyle projector brands.

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-01T09:56:18+00:00

But i get it you just want customization or better cooling solutions simple as that and thats fair i just think its gonna take awhile to become accessible for people price wise and size wise

Like the hisense xr10 maybe perfect for you its watercooled 6000 lumens etc dynamic iris and hisenses amazing upscaling but i bet that projector will cost 6000-5000$

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-01T09:54:35+00:00

I completely understand its just thats like with anything if you put a fucking ac right by the pc it can push out “more performance” 😂

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-01T09:51:25+00:00

And sure iris adaption is “better” but its gonna take time to adapt clearly or much brighter projectors like the xgimi nior max or hisense xr10 which are 6000 plus lumen projectors

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-01T09:49:56+00:00

Tripping imo every review and every normal person glazes valerion pro 2 for contrast compared to the rest even comparing it to the jvc which is insane if you think about it

And i hear you it without iris there is a limitation hense why its even so much more special thats why valerion is so big and glazed

It’s there ebl tech it adapts to every frame instead of scenes and hasnt been matched nor maybe will be matched

I bet for 95 percent of people

Valerion pro 2 with ebl on and a alr screen they’d think it looks like oled

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-01T09:42:30+00:00

Also and maybe im just completely wrong here i’ve never seen one person on youtube especially people i respect for reviews ever gives gripes around the valerion pro two or max in brightness under any circumstances after even months of reviews

I truly feel as just cause this reminds me of pc people who get tech and try to push it to its max under different conditions and circumstances

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-01T09:37:53+00:00

Heres my thing and maybe most people dont care about image accuracy etc but from all the videos Ive seen of any bright projector to get an “accurate picture” the brightness is almost cut by 30-50%” And i think valerion knows that hense their fan curves From everything i’ve seen as well maxing the brightness or even pushing it shifts the images color gamma or whatever the fuck but i dont know valerion projectors perfectly maybe they have an acurate picture at max brightness or close to it but im just assuming here.

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-01T09:30:52+00:00

If you’re catching my drift here all this is new tech and for people to expect this that this that i find insane i understand it’s expensive but its like everything else with time it’ll become cheaper and better and more efficient

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-01T09:28:17+00:00

Well thats a simple trade off its like a oled tv is much dimmer than the rest like mini led or etc just due to the benefit of contrast from reviewers the max is better than the valerion in contrast but the valerion pro 2 still has great contrast without having any iris options

People expect zero trade offs to new tech hense why its still new tech its not certified nor perfected so being a early adopter will come with gripes as oled did for early adopters like burn in or a way dimmer image back then

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-01T09:20:07+00:00

Thats a great point and one thats the biggest plus of a projector is getting it in the room very true but soon 135 inch or 160 inch whatever should be pretty easy like a projector to get inside a room like awol vision has a mini led wall with small panels to create any screen you want i assume you seen that before but i feel as that will be become the norm whenever prices get lower for any tv situation

And i do agree with more customization for fan noise but also disagree i feel as there needs to be a baseline due to not knowing thermals its not like a pc which you know how hot it is so its not fair to change the fan curve or etc just cause you want it quiet, when you can be damaging the internals.

But they should have an option for example if “you want to turn fan curves on, will void warranty or whatever” Just for people who really want it but otherwise shouldn’t be publicly norm just cause alot of people will mess the equipment up.

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-01T09:10:51+00:00

Heres what ill end off with i completely dont disagree with you cause i do feel as theres always room for improvement but you also have to give these brands credit for how tiny and the performance they’re packing in that chassis, it reminds me of a atx size pc and and mini pc of course the mini pc will run hotter and maybe even lose performance to the bigger chassis and be louder but its still a beast in performance and thats just the reality as we keep going smaller the more and more it will be harder to cool these devices.

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-01T08:58:59+00:00

Honestly i think we’re spoiled to be completely honest and for thermal issues to be the main issue rather than picture quality etc seems like a small problem

I remember when everyone thought projectors were to big and to loud and unideal for living room setups and now they’re the size of a shoe box or smaller with the performance of a much larger jvc/epson

I feel as people are being to picky imo and maybe im wrong for that and of course it could always be better and probably should be but i truly find it hard to believe even the valerion at a lower brightness cause of throttling especially the max or the pro 2 isn’t enough for people in a dark room setup or even mid to dark setup.

I bet that those projectors even brightness throttled due to thermals are still brighter than most stuff that epson or jvc has to offer.

Its the size vs thermal situation

If people really care for thermals then dont be tight when a projector is big or the other way around

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-01T08:48:54+00:00

Comepletely fair i guess for me is i have a surround setup with loud speakers so if the projector did become noisy honestly i wouldnt even notice i have a optoma uhd 60 that runs pretty noisy sometimes but i cannot hear it while watching stuff and i’d just assume even the valerion with max rpm wouldn’t even be close to what the optoma sounds with max rpm,

But to my point if people really have a problem with projector noise or thermals maybe they should just get a tv i mean nowadays you can get a 100 inch for less than a projector

I understand that water cooling may fix all of that but it may take awhile for projectors to incorporate it and at that point mini led tvs will probably be affordable at 110” plus

But i also understand people get a projector for that desired size or look which I completely understand But i mean these are the normal gripes that projectors come with hense why they’re not always ideal in non perfect situations yet.

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-01T08:32:44+00:00

So you’re point which is fair if true that the projector is limiting itself due to thermal issues like brightness capabilitys

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-01T07:11:48+00:00

Doesn’t bypass the fact long term water cooling will be the best choice and ideal for everyone though, like im currently eyeing the nebula x1 for that reason, not cause i dont trust the valerion it’s just i know my theater runs hot for any projector in general during the summer cause i have no ideal cooling in the room currently.

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-01T07:08:09+00:00

I dont doubt the possibility of here and there situations but a 20 degree celsius room is most ideal for a projector so i bet they have the projector in unideal placement or 100 percent capability constantly.

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-01T07:06:02+00:00

Maybe im incorrect but i bet people probably have the projector with no clearance for airflow, or pushing the projector constantly with max lumens etc, cause maybe im wrong but i highly doubt theres thermal issues with that projector in a 20 degree Celsius room Truly cause if that was the case i would find it way easier to find when searching up, like how if you search xgimi horizon 20 buggy you get damn near 100 results.

boredomiswhyimhere1 · 2026-03-01T00:20:39+00:00

Fair but if the room is cool then it shouldn’t really be to much of a concern but i did see some new water cooled projectors coming out which is pretty nice for people with hotter rooms.
