Well, the thing is the 1080 on the 4k projector still looks a little better than it does on a native 1080 because it upscales with pixel shifting. It doesn’t look as sharp as 4k, but still a bit better than 1080 (at least from ~10’ at 120").
Pixel shifting is for when it upscales, isn’t it? If you have a 4k source, you’ll get a 4k picture from what I read about this series.
That said, 1080p upscaled definitely still looks better compared to the old projector (though the newer one is also brighter, which also helps).
I get what you are saying, however at 120", less than 20 feet away, you can literally see the individual pixels (especially at 1080). It absolutely does make a difference under the right circumstances, that is empirically true. You can test it yourself if you are skeptical but I’m telling you for a fact that on resolution alone there is a noticeable difference for anyone who has 20/20 vision on a big screen closer up.
This is highly dependent on screen size and viewing distance.
On a computer screen or a phone screen? No, it’s not really noticeable. Hell, on some phone screen sizes/distances, you might not even be able to tell 720p vs 1080p.
On a 120"+ projector screen? Yes, it is definitely noticeable.
I have a small home theater and picked up a refurbished 4K LED projector (Epson 3200) coming from an old 1080DLP (Viewsonic 8200) - massive difference!

At the end of the day, it’s all just more or less forums and chat.
Make friends with people who also love what you love?
It would also slow if companies were told insane lies about the capability of “AI” (“it’s living having a team of PHD level experts at your disposal!”) and then companies realized that many of these promises were total bullshit.

when it comes out
Good one.
I really like sandbox games, but this one just didn’t grab me (at least not yet).
No Man’s Sky: I’ve tried playing it and just end up getting bored. Every once in a while I’ll go back and check it out again, feeling like I somehow didn’t give it a fair shake, but remain underwhelmed.
Maybe next time…
I don’t know that it’s that bad, but yeah, I couldn’t get into it either.
Yeah, shame about that, I kinda liked their music.
Not sure I’d phrase it that way but you’d probably like:
Wax Tailor
Ratatat

Flying Lotus

Edit:
I’ll throw in Caravan Palace and Parov Stellar if you like electroswing
I don’t think anyone would really care but me and mainly because I’m kinda shy.
I did both TKD and Ishin Ryu Karate as a kid: I think either or both would be fine really.
More important is the teacher and how the kid gets along with them/the class.
I would also stress that neither are ideal for practical self defense, so if that ever becomes the goal, look at something like Muay Thai, boxing, or Jiu Jitsu.
Ideally, don’t eat after you brush your teeth/floss, wait at least 30 minutes and don’t eat (or drink anything other than water) before bed.
Realistically, it’s not going to kill you or anything but if you do it a lot, you will be more likely to end up with cavities.

…and then uBlock Origin 5 more times.
Yep, on phones and other mobile devices, lower resolutions help significantly with battery life and framerates. Tiny super high resolution displays are pretty much pointless unless you’re using a VR headset (then the resolution matters more).
