hi! I am new to projectors and I have a special need for a projector that has the most stable image: No flicker, no quickly flashing colors or lights, no dithering. Monitors, phones and TVs already cause me a lot of symptoms and eyestrain, so I am looking at projectors as an alternative to be able to find a way to go back to having a way of consuming media content.

I have never used a projector before and where I live there is no way for me to test one, and I would have to buy it imported, it is ultra expensive and I would not be able to return it (except for epson, which I might be able to, depending on the model).

I would like to have chroma 4:4:4, 8bit (no FRC or dithering), 240hz and VRR if possible, but that might not be a possibility from the models I have found. Given pretty much every projector is Pixel Shift 4k, I will not be using 4k, only 1080p.

From my research, it seems the 3LCD tech is the way to go as apparently it doesn't flash colors like single chip DLP does. The models I found are

Epson: LS800 and LS6000.

The LS6000 is newer and just released, but I don't know how better it would be than the LS800. I can't find meaningful differences that I can understand.

I also don't know whether the LS800 and LS6000 are chroma 4:4:4, 8-bit without FRC/dithering, and flicker/PWM-free (like when adjusting brightness)

DLP: hisense PX4, Xgimi Aura 3

I know DLP contradicts my main need for not having flashing colors, but having never used one, I would like to ask your opinion and feedback on it. Is it something that sensitive people struggle with? or is it just the visual annoyance of the rainbow effect? does sensitivity from dithering and flicker on screens apply to DLP projectors as well?

Also, apparently ProjectorScreen website is blocked in my country. I see lots of links to it but I cannot access it.

"To explain the effect of 0.6% PVI treatment on DED, it could be hypothesized that ocular surface microbiota might be involved in it.

In fact, numerous evidences confirmed its role, stating that the ocular surface microbiota, bacterial biofilm, and bacterial lipases may influence the occurrence of DED and other ocular surface disorders.34–36 The microbiota plays a fundamental role in determining ocular surface immunological homeostasis. In DED patients, the changes in microbiota components may form the basis of the reduced tolerance mechanisms and determine the induction of both innate and adaptive immunity, characteristic of the chronic inflammatory process typical of DED.

The only adverse event reported by 16 patients (80%) was a mild burning on the instillation, lasting a few minutes. Such symptom disappeared after about 3 days of treatment."

My new edge 70 pro arrived yesterday and I've been setting it up. I was very pleased with the product until I installed whatsapp and sent an audio message. The recording quality is the most awful I have ever seen, worse than my oneplus 6 from 2018. I spend 90% of my day sending audio messages to every person I talk to so this is a deal breaker for me.

My previous phone was an edge 30 fusion that had the crystalizer AI thing, which I loved and made the voice sound extremely crisp and cancel all ambient noise. This one does the opposite: in a completely silent room at home (not a recording chamber with foam on the walls though), it picks up and amplifies a bunch of ambient noise that I can't hear. I tried recording outside in an empty street, virtually silent to my ears, and it still picks up so much noise it sounds like there is a train passing by.

The crystalizer AI thing on the edge 70 pro is different and can only be enabled during voice calls, which I barely use. I need for voice messages like it used to work on the 30 fusion.

Is there a fix for this? is everyone's modern motorola phones like this? I kinda suspect this is mediatek's audio processing that is not as good as qualcomm's.

hello, I've started keto 10 days ago. I was already very very lean with a very fast metabolism, used to eat 3500 cal just to avoid losing weight. By eating only meat and its contained fat (ribeye and chicken thighs) I was able to measure my ketones at 1.3 in the morning of my 7th day (90min after getting out of bed, and fasted for 12h), however, at that point I felt awful, starved, fatigued, and already very hungry the entire previous day, the entire night, and morning upon waking up, which signaled to me that I had zero fat reserves left. I started then adding 1 tbsp of mct to my meals. My energy improved a bit, but now 3 days later I am barely producing any ketones. I am at 0.3 (with MCT first thing in the morning). Still very weak, I lost most of my lean muscle mass last week as well. I am eating 2.5g/kg of protein divided into 3 meals 4h apart, with 12h fast between days.

I need ketones at 1.5 or more for improving my auto-immune health conditions (I already saw a small improvement that day I had a 1.3 ket level), but now it feels unfeaseable because my body has such a high calorie demand that I don't feel I can keep up with. If I eat more MCT or fat along with the meals I have severe diarrhea.

Most guidance that I find on the internet says to just fast longer to produce more ketones but I don't seem to have fat reserves to produce ketones from.

I don't know what to do, any suggestions?
