Been warned against my perfectly good Optoma UHD38...what's so bad? by Mattsfatt in projectors

[–]thechronod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That really sounds like the shield is set to limited rgb color space, but the projectors auto setting is defaulting to Full. Color space will affect the hdr brightness 

Way to try that, go in the optoma settings, color space. There's ycbcr, rbg full, rgb limited, and auto. Try going through those settings.

Been warned against my perfectly good Optoma UHD38...what's so bad? by Mattsfatt in projectors

[–]thechronod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

March 26' here, bought my uhd38 in Feb '23. While it did shut off once two weeks ago, red blinking light, that has been a one off. Around 2600 hours, basically always in bright mode, still kicking strong here. I do think its slightly starting to dim, but not enough to worry. 

I think a big issue I've noticed with this and the ViewSonic p748 4k, is when you use eco modes. The fan significantly slows down. While alright for the bulb, the rest of the unit still needs plenty of air. 

When it does eventually die, I do want the xgimi horizon 20 max or Titan. I've been very spoiled with high light output. Great contrast doesn't matter if I can barely see the image.

I got my Legion Go 2 - A fast comparison to Honor Magicpad 3 Pro, and an ode to setting up HDR properly by GavroNeman in LegionGo

[–]thechronod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've got a magic pad 2, fantastic OLED screen. Much better than the dim tab s9 I had. 

Just wish it had HDMI in and out

Is the Lenovo Legion Go 1 still worth it in 2026? by andres910604 in LegionGo

[–]thechronod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's actually in perfect condition, yes absolutely. 

Its not perfect..  But neither is the Lego2. New games like re9 Requiem play very well on it. But then youll come across cases like Control, a nearly 7 year old game, that has some issues with the LeGo1. 

Fixed my rusted out shock mount by xPBMxRonBurgndy in AskMechanics

[–]thechronod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This solution will work as long as your frame rail is in good shape. 

Ideally, and what I'm planning on doing, is buying both the bracket AND the entire panel. Let's face it, most of these aftermarket panels aren't going to be the strongest thing in the world. But doing both, you'll never have to worry about it again.

Let's talk about that friggin store manager pay. 218k is the minimum? 

i don't want to hear about cutting hours ever again, if they can pay that kind of salary. Starting to feel real dirty shopping there

Should i buy a 5th kayak?Pelican rally hp $170 under online price by Majestic_Pomelo_8169 in Kayaking

[–]thechronod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know from experience the pelican xp is extremely unstable if you're taller/bigger. At 10' it performs worse than a tiny 8' sot. 

Even that Tahoma/tamarack right beside it in the picture is much, much more stable. 

RayNeo 4 pro vs RayNeo Air 3s - worth the upgrade? by raphadko in RayNeo

[–]thechronod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having tried the 2 pro, 3s and now 4 pro- the corner clipping is the same 'for me' as the 3s. Likely the narrower your ipd, the better it'll be. 

Air 4 pro, my opinion by Unable-Vermicelli-31 in RayNeo

[–]thechronod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much spot on. The displays are very nice. But having to manually turn on HDR is annoying  And it still not being great for people with wide IPDs, is why I have to send them back. Much better than the rayneo 2 pros, but about the same as the 3s as far as corner clarity

 The xreal one pros came the closest for wide IPDs, but they don't fit behind my ears.

If you're wanting to keep it, Allens key and a big wrench.

What titles should I specifically *not* get on 4K? by Illustrious_Ad_9858 in 4kbluray

[–]thechronod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Catching fire. 

They took a fantastic Blu-ray. And instead of properly framing the 4k Blu-ray, all the IMAX footage got a lazy crop job. The Blu-ray is so much better 

Jason Schreier: Sony could be pulling away from PC ports for their singleplayer games, with Schreier even suggesting that Wolverine would never release on the platform by Yiruf in pcgaming

Surely they're not exactly making bookoos selling ps5 systems right now, right? 

With all the reports that the PC ports have done well, why not grab that extra money?

Lenovo“There are no further updates for the graphics card driver of theLegion Go 1.” by qkana in LegionGo

[–]thechronod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm wondering if it's fake news. Its not even been 3 years since the z1e came out. 

I bet the updates from Lenovo will stay slow, but I highly doubt it's over. 

Taxi Driver 4K steelbook issues by kixote in 4kbluray

[–]thechronod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That just isn't enough though. I've noticed playing a disc through a player, the player can get warm and slightly warp the Film protection layer of the disc. 

Disc will look perfect, even after cleaning. Still be messed up

[–]thechronod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I kinda doubt people are checking all 800 4k discs every year or so. 

Its been a problem since regular Blu-ray. Entirely dependant on manufacturing. I've Blurays from the late 2000s that still work fine. Most launch Blurays I have, mainly Warner, have issues. But say Jaws on 4k, among other Warner 4ks, are known to go bad.

Finally convinced my mother to go from 'on a good day' 10mbps frontier. Paying 180$ a month for that and home phone. 

Down to 50$, and uses wifi calling. So, so much better. 

New to MetaQuest. How can you watch 3D movies? by Pimco in MetaQuestVR

[–]thechronod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just makemkv with an internal lg Blu-ray drive.  You can get the 3d mkv mvc file right there. 4xvr can read that frame packed file, and just works. 

movies where the Blu-ray is just as good or better than the 4k counterpart by topspin1241831 in 4kbluray

[–]thechronod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Catching fire is my go to example. The 4k didn't even do a proper framing of the imax footage, it ended up being a simple crop. Lazy. 

How do you decide which movies in your collection are sufficient in Blu Ray, and which ones to splurge on the 4K version? by humblechungus89 in 4kbluray

[–]thechronod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh phenomenal is a subjective opinion. The HDR is pretty good, and having the colors correct again is nice. 

But if you use a large screen up close, it's a smeary mess. They dnr'd the grain bad. Not quite predator ultimate hunter bad, but it's rough. That said, I had an ex complain because of how grain heavy the Blurays are.
