Using Projectors for Sim Racing: Is it Good Enough?

Here I am sharing my quick review and opinion on using gaming projector Benq TK700STi for Sim Racing.
This projector can run at 4ms input lag in 1080p@240Hz or 8ms in 1080p@120Hz or 16ms in 4K@60Hz.
I believe these are pretty good numbers for projector which can give you much bigger picture size than any monitor. I use 3 projector for better immersion.

Your projector calibration needs a lot of work! Get a projector mapping software so the images are properly aligned

@basementformula Год назад

Yes you right! I have a software but alignment is not completely right

@Simlife101 Год назад

@@basementformulaalso the "input lag" isn't input lag its frame times.

@vincer9960 9 месяцев назад

4, 8, 16 ms is not the input lag. Every device has different input lag. You need equipment to test it. Just using the refresh rate for calculations does not give you input lag, if that was the case then every single monitor ever made would have the same input lag at the same refresh rate as every other monitor ever made. That being said, you have a great setup. Would be better if it was 3D projectors but still fantastic. Enjoy!

Wow I didn’t know this was possible at home! I might have to change my setup, Great video ❤️ Couple questions: Does the projector setup work well with other games like Automobilista 2, iRacing and ACC? How’s the cockpit view in other vehicles? Is it as immersive? Thanks again love your channel

@basementformula Год назад

Thank you for these kind words. I know how to configure this view only in rfactor2. This few works best for formula cars only. I discuss this issue here in detail ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S6BRHrC6DDE.html.

@Simlife101 Год назад

Why does your 4k footage look like a completely different camera is being used? What Gopro are you using the picture looks terrible.

@basementformula Год назад

Both footages are made by GoPRO 10. When i was shooting 4k portion, it was cloudy on our server. Thats why it is darker. GoPro is not good with low lighting as you may know. I probably need other camera.

Damn that's actually pretty sick, it's basically a like a triple screen setup, just without any bezels at all, very nice By the way, what sim/game are you using in the video?

@basementformula 5 месяцев назад

Thank you! It is rF2. I do not know if other games support 2 wheel only view. If you do iracing it will be cockpit view then screen should be places much closer

@ДанилаМихеев-у5э 8 месяцев назад

@superjarri Год назад

Your footage looks very similar to what F1 teams use in their sims, very impresive. Did you notice any improvement in your lap times when switching from 60Hz to 240Hz?

3 projectors?!?! that's crazy

@basementformula Месяц назад

@ghostofreality1222 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, I'll stick with my triple 32's at 7680x1440p @165hz 1ms - looks way better than even that 4k footage. - was entertaining bigger screens, moving up to 55" screens but IDK if that's even worth it honestly. - I'm the guy that if it isn't leaps above what I am currently running then it doesn't justify the price IMO, and def not paying that much money for projectors for a worse experience. I would be totally pissed at myself if I invested that much into 3 projectors and had results that looked like what your showing.

@basementformula 9 месяцев назад

Yep man i am very “happy” 😄

@ghostofreality1222 8 месяцев назад

Update: Just bought a 48" LG ultra gear 4k oled monitor. Giving this a run and will see if I purchase 2 more for setup on sim rig. Until then the 48" will be on desk and will move the triple 32's to sim pit.

Multi projector is how commercial and military flight simulators do it. It definitely gets around some of the difficulty for really wide FOV with screens, and can be cheaper than those setups. Could be some difficulties getting it set up for different programs though.

Why is it not possible to have 120 Hz at 2560*1440 resolution? That would be ideal for me. I cant differentiate between 120 Hz and 240 Hz, while 60 Hz to 120 Hz is noticable.

@logo8009 11 месяцев назад

The quality is just not there compared to monitors out in the market right now and the in put lag is very slow. If you stop the video @ any point all the wording overlaps a lot even in slow speed comers.I would get a headache seeing that all the time. It's a cool setup, but I have much less in triple 32's @ 144HZ with 1 MS response @ 2k that are 3 years old.I'm not sure what the FOV is,but you look far away from the screen and from outside of the projection. It takes away from the immersion if that's what your going for. In the end it's what makes you happy. Nice video! I do appreciate the effort you put in to it. I'm not bashing so don't take it that way. Gave you a thumbs up.

@basementformula 11 месяцев назад

I agree with you. I explain here why i decided to build this type of setup here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vn7QmAQ7aN4.htmlsi=36muheA1dV0lk7rr It also much more complicated to build such setup. More space etc. If I would be building new setup today i would just buy 3 monitor setup
