Vsr and dsr on a 1080p projector

laddercats

Okay so here in Australia where everything is backwards and you pay over 90000 for everything it can make buying TV's very expensive.

I have been hearing up to build a 4k machine next year around a 65" 4k monitor slash TV. Problem is price.

I won't find one for less then 2000aud and that's rock bottom. Now when I strolled into a electronics store last weekend I was crippled by beautiful marketing strategy the 65" TV's looked pathetic next to the glorious 89 inch lords.

Got me thinking maybe just maybe I go for size , I have the room and I can control lighting and for 700-900aud I can have myself a benq1080 or a optoma GT 1080 both with low input. And both accompanied to a 120" screen meaning twice the size compared to the 65 (nearly ) and over half the price. BUT no 4k.

What about vsr and dsr ?

Can I fudge my way to a faux 4k by down sampling , I imagine the huge 120" screen would really benefit from the essentially perfect AA qualities of dsr and vsr.

Is this a bad idea ?

Has anyone tried this ?

Will dsr and vsr really improve my projector image ?

Its better than 1080p but not even close to 4k

Take a look at some of the wasabi monitor/TV things on ebay

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Yeah the cheapest 65 is still 1600usd pretty much exactly 2000aud after import duty

Why do you need a 65" monitor/tv?

 

I've just had a quick look randomly googling from the first website and found countless 27-34" true 4k monitors for around 800+ . You will not power a 65" beast at true 4k, that's asking way way too much of our current things haha.

 

TL:DR - Go for a true 4k monitor and a 60" 1080p TV.

Did you read the op. My issue was 65" looks small and is only getting smaller. I also made it pretty clear I'm looking to use this in a decicated theatre room slash gaming den. So driving 4k on a 65" monitor is very sensible I'd you want to sit somewhere around the 1.5-2m mark it puts you within retins levels of pixel density while still offering close enough distance for immerssive gaming.

The argument that oh that monitor is too big is old and outdated monitors are getting bigger every year and so is res and driveavle res. Especially considering I don't expect to be doing excel sheets from 1ft away on a 65" monitor.

Finally 4k at 45-60 fps with a freesync monitor is doable with current gen xfire or sli configs . not too mention 2016 q2 may bring the first affordable 4k single GPU options .

Buy what you can afford. If that is a 65" 4k tv. Buy it. Do not try vsr and dsr on a 1080 projector. You will not be happy with it. 1080p projectors are great for presentations. But not good video quality depending on how big of a projection you make it. Stick with the 65" 4k tv. Or save up some more for the larger tv.

 

Pixel density. It's about the pixel density.
