The projector is one of a handful around that can actually display a full 1080p Hi-Def image. The 1080p format is the IMAX of the HD world, as it produces the best possible images. It's also going to be the standard output format for games running on Sony's PS3 console.

The bright cyan and lime colorways celebrate the Horizon Festival’s recognition of iconic cars and hit music, with special features that are sure to impress any collector."
You can get Hall effect controllers slightly cheaper, but you'd struggle to find as feature-rich a package without some heavy, heavy sales.
Pascal Gilcher calls DLSS 5 impressive but shares the "AI slop" sentiment, explaining the likely tech behind it and why he dislikes it.
I fail to see how this is AI shhhhlllloooop. Looking at the different games they showed, this has made many of them look far better.
It's AI slop because it ignores the artists intent and changes the details ESPECIALLY when it comes to character faces. The scariest part of it is introducing it as the next stage of DLSS, a feature where the current iteration already has controversy surrounding it and for quite a lot of games cannot be fully disabled. So reasonably the precident is already set for what path this could take, and it's not good
In case you didn't watch the video then let me point just one part. It overrides the lighting. Then the question of what is the point of ray tracing cost and so on. Many of the lighting deletes shadow, including shadow on the face like eyes even chin.
Why stop at art when it comes to human input - why not just have AI play the game for us, remove human input altogether
If you don’t like it, just don’t enable it. Personally I think it looks great from the videos I have seen.
And what about when you can't? Cause there's plenty of games where you cannot fully disable dlss already, i mean we're well into an era where it's a major crutch for developers to cover up their cut corners, why would this be any different?
You are playing with people's money and allow Nvidia to scam you.
In case you didn't watch the video then let me point just one part. It overrides the lighting. Then the question of what is the point of ray tracing cost. This is all lie to raise the cost of the graphic card.
Making characters look more realistic not ok because we want the developer to decide on how the game was intended to look. - Internet
Change entire game through mods thus changing how the developers intended the game to be is ok. - Internet
Something consumers can do to a product after they have purchased it, entirely optional and can always be undone with a fresh install
VS
The leading gaming hardware manufacturer making this the next iteration of the main AA/Upscaling technique that is heavily relied upod by modern devs and is not optional in most games.
Not at all the same but nice try
At the moment you need 2 5090’s just to get an image on the screen so this is all vaporware until proven otherwise.
It's all about choice in the end. But, I would say that calling it 'more realistic' is quite a stretch. It looks like AI art, and that's rarely realistic.
All the comments I see are reminding me of how we got to the current state of gaming when microtransactions were first introduced: "It's completely optional guys, we promise! If you don't like it just don't buy it!"
I think we all know how that ended up.
I had the same exact thought the first time this was brought up in a separate article about a week ago. Took me straight back to the conversations surrounding “horse armor.” Just don’t buy it they said. Years later, many IPs I previously enjoyed are so infected with monetization schemes that I don’t even consider purchasing them anymore.
DLSS 5 and the like are the same thing wrapped in a different package. History rhymes but many of us never learn from it.
Biggest Scam. Overrides lighting and shadow. So why keep Ray tracing? It's all a scam to raise graphic card. We now see Nvidia with Microsoft downturn anything against them. Sony is next!
This projector is very, very, good for it's price range, but it ain't no IMAX :) It suffers from relatively poor brightness, hence why it's cheaper than the RUBY projector; this projector's progenitor. I must say though, watching any of these new 1080p projectors is as good as watching in a theater (currently). This will change in the future when the movie theaters switch over to digital as well.

This is a good site for front projector reviews as well as flat panel TVs.
I believe Epson has a better 1080p front projector than the above model and comes in at a cool $3000.
I believe is the best low cost 1080p front projector on the market right now and is the only HDMI 1.3 front projection (not that there is much use for it at this moment but does future proof it - PS3 owners might care). If your willing to shell out money in the $4000 - $6000 range look toward Panasonic, Mitsubishi, or JVC which are other brand names known for great front projection even rivaling Sony.
