Swapping my monitor for a 4K 120Hz projector gave me a bigger screen and a home theater.

I ditched my monitor for a 4K 120Hz projector, and it completely changed my setup

The author has switched from a large 43-inch monitor to a 4K 120Hz projector named JMGO Iris Ultra Max. This change was driven by the desire for higher screen real estate and the ability to handle high refresh rates and resolutions. The projector's 4K resolution and optical zoom function allow for a flexible viewing experience, scaling down to a smaller screen when needed.

The projector also features a built-in motorized gimbal, enabling quick adjustments for different viewing positions. The resolution and brightness of the projector were key factors in the author's decision, with a 4K setup and 6500 lumens being suitable for their work. However, the brightness is not as strong as claimed, and ambient light can affect perceived contrast.

The projector's dual-iris arrangement and pixel shifting technology contribute to a high native contrast ratio, which can be useful for adjusting contrast levels in rooms with ambient light. The author finds the projector suitable for casual gamers and entertainment enthusiasts, offering a big upgrade over their old monitor while also providing additional functionality as an entertainment center.
