No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

How Significant is the Quality Increase from "Toy" to "Real" Projectors?


Toy projectors are the "cheap" ones you find on amazon, aliexpress, etc. Here's a reviewers list of toy projectors. Jayce Review

  1. I'm just wondering how those compare to the "real" more expensive ones.

  2. Would it matter if I'll be using it in a smallish room (around 2m in width) with little to no light?

I bought me a Xaomi 4K ultra short throw projector for under $2,000 4 years ago. It projects to my 150” screen with excellent contrast, resolution and brightness. I love that projector. I would consider it a real projector. Look up Ultra Short Throw projectors. I know there are a bunch of new ones on the market. You want good resolution and high lumens. Most cheap ones don’t do either.

When you say high lumens, can you give a number?

Will 300 ANSI lumens be good enough?

which is around 720 Led Lumens (if the artcile I found where Led Lumens = 2.4 ANSI Lumens).

[–] Spurton@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That seems pretty low. Mine is 1600 ANSI and I wouldn’t go any lower. I would also suggest a good screen. I have the PET Crystal screen by XYScreens. It was expensive but well worth it.

Are you using it in a dark room?

[–] Spurton@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

It’s not completely dark. So that might be in your favor.
