ben q reached out to us to showcase their tk800
4k projector this thing is specially designed to be great for watching sports
ball and since it's world cup season after all we thought why not build the
dream big screen sports watching setup for nerds with the tk421 i'm sorry
excuse me the tk 800.
step one is something to actually watch the game on trust me inviting people to
come over and listen to the game doesn't work nobody will show up he's still
there he's done it
now lots of people use home projectors for their hundred inch plus home theater
setups where they have complete ambient light control and they're watching
usually movies in the dark and if that's your thing then benq's ht2550 is a great
choice but this this is a far better one when you've got
more light in the room like when you're gaming with the kids or when you're
running a more social event where people want to be able to eat and talk instead
of just being focused on the content that's because the tk800 is rated at 3
000 lumens of brightness it's got HDR support and it's got 92 coverage of the
rec 709 color space in part thanks to its rgbw
color wheel that extra slice of wheel lets white
light shine through for extra brightness to overcome ambient light pollution
it's not quite as easy as it sounds though if too much white comes through
the image can look overcooked and washed out if you let in too little then yeah
the colors will look more natural and more vibrant but you won't get close to
that advertised 3000 lumen brightness unless the screen is displaying a mostly
white image it's all about finding the right balance
next up if you're an insufferably competitive type a like me then you'll
need some accessories to help you gloat now you could use team specific
celebration tools but personally i've always found it's cheaper not to mention
less likely to get demonetized to just throw as much obnoxious as possible at
my friends it truly is a wonder that i have any
moving on our projector would work on a plain white screen or failing that even
a wall but this is Linus tech tips i mean come on
so we went way over the top with a screen that costs almost as much as the
projector itself this is a 100
ambient light rejecting screen and it
was sent to us by our new besties at silver ticket products now a normal
white screen will scatter all of the incoming light which gives it diffusion
uniformity or uniform brightness across the whole screen but that means that
even ambient light gets scattered washing out the image an angular
reflective screen like this diverts off-axis rays of light leaving
the image chris
which reminds me pretty much the most physical thing about watching sports is
eating as much as you possibly can and we have got our bases covered
see what i did there with the bases first use domino's zero click app to
expend as few calories as possible their app lets you order your usual with
delivery to whatever address is attached to your profile then
this is actually the techie part you can use if this then that to track your
order progress like sending you a text when your pizza has been put in the oven
or changing your philips hue lights once
it's out for delivery what goal
yay was supposed to be excited there no i
think that was great but all those reminders are probably
just gonna make you hungrier so you will need some munchables to tide you over
that is why i am jerry rigging this pet
camera a device typically used to launch treats to your pets to be my personal m
m peanut of course dispenser
you guys ready
all right and good
oh
seriously though for modern spectators one screen is often not enough and that
is why my events are always byot bring
your own tablet you can use it to chat with other fans online as the game
unfolds hang out with a friend who's watching elsewhere or heck
even watch a different sporting event all to get really
rocket league it's an esport it's not a sport so a
sport well let me how does this thing even work how
much did we pay for this put it in the front oh stop trying to put it in the
back line whoa and
you can wash those salty snacks down with an always cold drink thanks to this
generic and very chinese looking cooling
pad
