Same here, but I run a projector and watch movies and play games on one wall of my room. The bulb sucks 330 watts to project that large of an image.
I love being an irresponsible adult so much sometimes. :D
330w is quite a lot for a projector, i assume thats a high pressure mercury lamp one?
I recently switched to a laser one and the picture is still as bright but the power consumption is down by over 50%.
Also after 2 times geting my face blasted by mercury vapors when the lamp exploded in the old one...i aint risking losing even more brain cells....there is a good reason the stopped selling those in the eu now
Yes, it's an older model that still uses those old lamps. I will probably switch over to a laser projector when it gives up the ghost, but so far, it works well.
Thankfully, I never had a lamp explode on me. That sounds absolutely terrifying.
Yeah on those projectors usually the lamp is what dies first, everything else in em could run for decades, i would advise on selling it while it still works to cover a bit of the price of a laser.
Yeah even thinking of it brings back that metallic taste in my mouth >.<
Laser projectors also tend to have better color depth. Projector tech has actually progressed by leaps and bounds in the past decade, so people still using older projectors are really missing out.
The one big problem they haven’t been able to solve is black levels. Because with a projector screen, your black level can only ever be as dark as the ambient light in the room.
