I won\u2019t harp on these detriments too much, because the GT2400HDR is not meant to compete with a movie theater. I switched to a few more games and found that Red Dead Redemption 2 on an Xbox Series X looked pretty good, if a little too atmospheric. That\u2019s a kind way of saying the contrast is not great. At times, it seemed like the projected image had more in common with an LCD computer monitor than a home cinema projector.<\/p>\n
The GT2400HDR disappointed in its handling of what should be impressive updated graphics in Halo: Campaign Evolved. Instead of rich, vibrant-looking trees, they looked too bland, with flat, dull greens. In Assassin\u2019s Creed: Black Flag Resynced, the colors in a level that takes place in Havana should pop when you walk through the town, but the blue tunics, yellow fruit, and green trees lacked vibrancy.<\/p>\n
A news broadcast looked dull and bland, as did a World Cup match I rewatched. There\u2019s a theme here: bland and dull colors. However, I was surprised that a dark scene of a character riding a bike in the movie Awake didn\u2019t look terrible. I could make out faces and some colors, which is saying a lot since this scene is hard to render. An entire moonlit scene in House of the Dragon, via the HBO app on a Google TV Streamer<\/a>, looked completely washed out until I switched to the Vivid picture mode, which helped a bit. It was all par for the course, no pun intended.<\/p>\n I then watched scenes from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and noticed that Cinema picture mode did help punch up the colors a bit. Super Mario Galaxy\u00a0lacked the color vibrancy and clarity that it normally has and looked like it was playing on a cheap computer monitor (e.g., poor contrast and less-than-vivid colors). When I switched to The Ark on YouTube TV, the colors looked much better because the show features bright, well-lit interior shots in almost every scene.<\/p>\n In the end, everything I tested and benchmarked on the GT2400HDR looked just OK, but I liked how well this projector works as a golf simulator. It can run all day long for multiple rounds, has low latency to make sure your controller nudges translate to accurate drives, and looks massive and bright on a large projector screen in a dark room. Sure, just about everything else is average, but if you are into golf, this is a good low-cost entry-level option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photograph: John Brandon I won\u2019t harp on these detriments too much, because the GT2400HDR is not meant to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":870821,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,874,622,117132,42799,208,209,404,82,1788],"class_list":["post-870820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-gaming","tag-golf","tag-home-entertainment","tag-projectors","tag-review","tag-reviews","tag-shopping","tag-sports","tag-television"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=870820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870820\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/870821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=870820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=870820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=870820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
