It’s something of a surprise, should you own a CRT TV to go with your retrocomputers, when you use it to view a film or a TV show. The resolution may be old-fashioned, but the colors jump out…

      But OLED can get burn in and degrade over time. This will too, but you can just replace the light bulb.

        That was once a lot more true than nowadays since the software has ways to mitigate the degradation. Once you’ve gone to a display with true black like OLED, nothing no else compares honestly. They even make movie theater screens look bad. It’s not possible to have a projector give you true black. Better contrast sure, but not true black. There is a limit to contrast anyway since human eyes can only see so bright.

        I’ve had my OLED since 2017. I use it for gaming. It’s perfectly fine still.

        Projector bulbs ain’t cheap either. And the overall picture quality will still be crap despite the contrast.
