does anyone here use a projector in lieu of a tv?

This is my dream!

The issue is either
you get a business style projector that can still produce a picture even if the room is bright but you sacrifice picture (typically)
or
you get a movie projector but it'll need to be nearly pitch black to really take advantage of the photo otherwise it's faded out a bit

You also can't play games with a projector because the latency is going to be too low.

I think portable projectors are cool, but just adjust your expectations cause it won't be as crisp as a tv.

Yup have been that way for the last 4 years and it’s great!

just lived with one for a month at the place where we were staying. worked surprisingly well, like a tv that "disappears" during the day. can't hold a candle to our oled tv but pretty decent at night.

Indoors and outdoors. It’s great for entertaining.
