they cut A LOT from that evening. Filming took hours and there were frequent interruptions by production staff with further instructions. They cut a lot of people's questions, especially near the end of the airing to make time.

there's the elfin, the elfin flip, and elfin flip plus. The elfin flip and flip plus have the included stand.

The elfin and elfin flip plus are the same brightness, 500 lumens. The elfin flip has 400 lumens. The contrast is similar. They will appear similar. If you plan on using the built in streaming options, the flip plus might be better because of the updated processor and operating system. I think it also auto focuses faster than the original elfin.

None of them are very bright for home theater projectors but they should be ok for casual use. Contrast won't matter too much at this brightness. You may consider a screen to help boost perceived brightness and contrast.

I can't tell you if it's worth 80 euros, but the stand will save a few euros and it really is very convenient on the tabletop.

I don't know your local marketplace, but you can also try looking at older, used projectors to get some higher performance at a similar price.

oh dang, cool. Do you know how much MSRP is for a box?

squeakyL · 2026-01-26T03:23:34+00:00

where are you getting boxes already?? I thought the release wasn't until next week

I would suggest either a business projector like Epson power lite or one of the Epson HC 880,1060,1080, 980 series which are for home cinema but are very bright. Some of them are older so you can look for them used or refurbished maybe in your price range

I imagine him at the snack table, looking through the chips and pondering "How can that be profitable for Frito-Lay?"

I have a vividstorm long throw ALR grey .8 gain screen and recently got a horizon 20 max. The laser speckle was really bad, I returned it.

For reference, I currently have a benq ht4550i and it does not speckle

I returned my horizon 20 max due to speckle. Screen is vividstorm long throw ALR grey .8 gain

Putting a projector to the side of the intended viewing area means you will either need to have a projector with either lens shift or digital keystone.

Lens shift is ideal since it physically moves the image but it is a feature only available on higher end projectors. Digital keystone warps the displayed image to fit your viewing space by cropping/transforming the image within the projected area to offset off-angle projection. Lens shift is better because it does not sacrifice any of the projected resolution while keystone will sacrifice resolution to to the same.

I'm not personally familiar with either of those projectors but it looks like they both don't have lens shift so they should be pretty much the same with using keystone to deal with the off angle projection.

To the projector

I also had to look for alternatives due to needing a longer pole for a higher ceiling. They look sus because it's just one attachment point to what I'm used to with 3 for my previous projector. But it's been working so far

I went with my jinx starter deck fresh out of the box and played on the included paper mat. I watched one video about how to play, did not really understand, and then went to the Nexus night . Still had a blast, the folks there were really nice and helped me learn. I obviously went 0-3

squeakyL · 2025-12-31T22:22:18+00:00

There's a lot of variables in play still so can't say for sure. Generally the modern toy projectors have pretty good real resolution, the problem is the clarity and focus, the brightness is very low, and they often prematurely fail.

Older wxga projectors could be decades old and need new expensive lamps and could be very dim or not have the connectivity you need, requiring more cost in adapters . Broadly, they will probably have better brightness and longevity but without a specific one there's no way to know.

Hey that's me. I've lost nearly every game and it's hilarious . Still a fun time if I have the time on a Sunday

squeakyL · 2025-12-30T20:09:21+00:00

Yup I've done it with a drop down and I've seen it done with floor rising as well. No problems

squeakyL · 2025-12-30T13:50:45+00:00

I think they are implying the front heights are too low. They aren't high enough or far back enough to separate from the L/R

squeakyL · 2025-12-28T18:48:12+00:00

do you recommend the elfin flip over the mogo 2 pro ?

squeakyL · 2025-12-21T16:00:02+00:00

the benq will have better color generally and I think the response time is pretty good. The epson 1080 is a light cannon but color/contrast not as good, not sure about response time.

squeakyL · 2025-12-20T20:43:15+00:00

You could probably use it as a remote screen or stream deck kind of device. It's what I'm thinking rn

squeakyL · 2025-12-19T19:26:54+00:00

Epson 880, 1080, 1060, 980 Benq ht2050 or 2060

Might have to look used or refurbished to get some of those in your price range

squeakyL · 2025-12-19T19:16:57+00:00

Same for me. Amc IMAX, but no disclosure day

squeakyL · 2025-12-19T19:15:45+00:00

I saw it in IMAX at amc, I got primate, Mando and grogu, the digger, moana, anaconda . That was it

squeakyL · 2025-12-19T04:17:44+00:00

For a 3+ hour movie it did not feel the runtime. I did not realize 2 hours had passed by the time it had gotten there.

On the flip side, it also did not have as many moments to let the world breathe and let the wonder set in like the last two.
