I BUILT the Worlds Biggest Gaming TV

It's here—the biggest gaming display! It's not by Hisense, it's not Samsung's The Wall, and it utterly embarrasses my 115" TCL TV. By area, this is bigger than most IMAX screens and WAY better to game on.

Two videos with the title squence in a row... I assume it is just sheer chance...

 

Also, this was the moment I truely understood the scale of this...

[Retro_R]

Imagine a 360 video looking at the view of all 3 projectors as they game. Would be sick

New project for Dan.  Build a bigger and better wall of sound

[GoStormPlays]

can't wait until Osu players get their hands on a touchscreen version of this

[Alleyne]

What was the resolution set in control panel for this?

Just like Linus home renovation is the badminton  centre a tax write off. /s

They should have linked to the Weird Al song too.

Look at my comment on the vid it's the 2nd one (ignoring pinned). Said something similar lol

[dhkatz]

I'm a bit surprised LTT didn't go harder with the projector. I'm assuming a limitation of what Clark's AV had available. It looks like Epson has even brighter projectors (20K+ lumens) that support HDR and HDR10+

Hello, Linus and team. This was such an excellent video. I work in the A/V industry, and seeing it get some notice is cool. I've been a video engineer for nearly 25 years and dabble in projection occasionally. I wanted to share a photo of the biggest projection map I've been a part of. 48 projectors in total, the front main screen was over 300' long, seamless with scenic elements. (We had columns that were projection-mapped, the projectors are on their side.) 6 Projectors for delay screens and one projector backstage for the client viewing area.

why dont you use LED module/walls? P1.5/P1.8 its brighter, you can game with lights on.

Don't quote me on that, but I think Linus got quoted something like ten times the price of one of the three baller projectors they used in the video, for The Wall only the size that the consumer projector in part 1 could comfortably manage. So I would presume because it's not cheap by itself, and the installation and maintenance costs are probably trough the roof as well. (You need a capable HVAC system, for one. These panels ain't magic, LEDs are only 40% efficient at best, and that's when they're dim, which isn't helpful either. So 70-80% of input power is converted into heat. A lot of it.) And all that for a show that typically lasts a day or three? You bet they're just gonna rent projectors and call it a day.

This vid might just be one of the best LTTs since the series of GN-sparked controversies. No excessive information, no information is lacking, no oversimplifications, editing is on point, legitimately new interesting concept (not the projectors themselves, but rather "three dudes on a couch marveling at a rented sick projector setup") and legitimately new learning outcome. Good work.

I just realized something. The cursor is bigger than a real mouse.

[YellowJersey]

I wonder what the aspect ratio of that setup was.

That’s easy, it was 3 16:9 displays side by side, so 48:9 or 16:3.

Can't wait for films to be shot in in the glorious 5.35:1 ratio when Vision Lite goes mainstream

[Strahan]

Wow, that's crazy cool.  Just out of curiosity, I checked Projector Central's calculator to see how it'd perform in my movie room.  I'm currently using an Epson 5050UB and shooting on a neutral gain 142" screen, which gives me 41 foot lamberts.  If I open Google, showing a mostly white screen, it can be almost uncomfortably bright.

 

I set the calculator to use the beast Linus tested and it went from 41 to 181, wow.  Then just for grins, I told it I pulled down my screen and replaced with a Da-Lite 121" 2.5 gain screen.  The new calculated value was 622 foot lamberts, LOL.  I think at that level, you're going to both go blind and have your wall catch fire

[OhYou_]

damn this reminds me that I have a 16k lumen arc lamp dlp projector at home I have never messed with. I could at least make like a 800in tv with it.

I was going to convert it to led though first because the bulb is prob houred out and risks it exploding on start

[TheLANguy]

I hope that projector has got a two year warranty on parts and labor accidental drop damage.

Woodstock '69 had it right. Instead of 800 'normal' speakers, just use a few dozen compression horns.

And hope they don't fall on someone.

wats the song at 16:15 ?

Its cost prohibitive. LED panels are expensive. Also an LED wall that size will have weight restrictions. Something that size would need a ground support wall and a hung wall, then powered down to mate the two together. That wall would cost several hundreds thousand dollars to rent. The purchase cost would would be in the millions.
