Using Projectors for Sim Racing: Is it Good Enough?

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.

Look at that setup 🤯👌🏼
-
Amazing setup mate 👏👌👍
-
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.
-
light from projector on the hands kills the vibes for me. hard work nice setup.

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!

🤘👍👍👍🎥💥 Interesting! Btw, you have a really good start as for such a small channel! I keep my fingers crossed for further development!
-
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
-
Your projector calibration needs a lot of work! Get a projector mapping software so the images are properly aligned
-
perfection
-
Literally what I've had in mind for my setup when I have the money! Stole my idea lol!
-
Conspit Halo triple-projector set up is by far the best solution i ve seen, but costs a real honda lol
-
Looks spot on to me, I'm pretty sure the F1 teams use projectors in their simulators. The only thing that puts me off is the cost of the projectors! Epic setup though, well done. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
-
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?
-
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?
-
That’s unreal
-
Could you pls tell me how to get cockpit pov by only displaying the front wheel and the suspemsion like yours?
-
What about 3 49inch curved monitors? Seems like the cost wouldn’t be too far behind
-
Wow looks as good as the phone i am watching it on. . .think about what i said .....
-
Why does your 4k footage look like a completely different camera is being used? What Gopro are you using the picture looks terrible.
-
yeah that setup is crazy . how much do u pay for the projectors and the screen . how do u instal the screens , i mean how is it builded?? would be nice if u can show us a setup tour .
