If you remember this guy’s fondness for dropping ping pong balls from the ceiling, it may be time to apply for social security.

Just got the 65” Q77K. Looking for recommendations on best settings to use.
I haven’t yet changed any settings. I mostly use it in the evening and at night in a large room with overhead recessed lighting. Recommendations welcome. Edit: forgot to mention that I use it for sports and tv show mostly. Apple TV to stream.

Am I crazy for considering a projector in this sunroom?
Thinking of a short throw projector with an 85” pull down screen mounted above the window to replace / supplement the 42” TV shown. The wall is 11 feet wide and the window shown is 4 feet wide. Screen would be center mounted above the window and only pulled down when in use. The 3 walls with outside windows (only 2 shown) all have blinds I can close to cut down on the light. I want to watch sports on a big screen and occasional movies. Click on the photo to see the full width. Suggestions/thoughts? Edit: so it’s a no-go. Thanks for the input.

Best sub $500 manual roll up screen for a fairly bright room using short or ultra short throw projector?
Looking for one that’s only a 75” screen, possibly 85”. Thanks.
Edit: here are some additional details: seating will be about 14-17’ from screen. Projector will likely be an ultra short throw, sitting on a table in front of the screen. Let me know if any other details are needed.

Rhine Gorge ship swap question
I’m going on my first river cruise in about 3 weeks and I’ve seen that the Rhine is particularly low in the Rhine gorge, resulting in several ship swaps there. My question is: when you have to change ships there how long is the bus ride typically to go from one ship to another ?

A helpful article about using corporate/school - oriented projectors in a home theater environment
I often see recommendations for used projectors from corporate or school environments on this sub. In researching a recently recommended model I came across a 2019 article from Projector Central that discusses using projectors meant for the corporate and school markets in a home theater. I found it very enlightening and I hope you do as well. It’s a 2 part article so there are 2 links below.

Thinking of replacing a wall mounted 50” TV with a projector & screen in my sunroom. Suggestions? Details in comments.
I’m in New England and have a total budget of no more than $750. Details: The sunroom has blinds but most of our TV viewing there in late afternoon/evenings, or Sunday NFL games. The sunroom is fully insulated and I will soon be installing A/C and heat for our New England winters. Probably going to go with a 90” retractable screen on the only wall that abuts the house. Projector would be mounted about 17 feet away against back wall, but could mount it about 6-7 feet away also. Reason for the 2 distances is a ceiling fan that is right in the middle of the room that I need to avoid. Suggestions for a budget project that works in a brighter room? What specs should I be most concerned with? Ideally want to spend under $300-$400 in the projector and no more than $200 on the screen.

Thule EasyFold XT rack has a stripped hitch tightening bolt
Hopefully I can describe this in a way that makes sense: the part of the rack that goes into my hitch on my car has a knob that I tighten so it fits snugly into the hitch. But it seems that the bolt on the rack that the knob tightens is now stripped. Can I change this bolt somehow? I can’t safely use my bike rack without it being secured properly. I’ve only had it for 4 years and use the rack about a dozen times a year.
