Check out this review by ProjectorCentral if you want an inexpensive way to achieve quality HD picture in the 80" to 100" screen sizes. This projector has a game mode that accelerates the video buffer to 0.3 ms and adjusts picture to bring out details in shadows. It's a very bright front projector and can be used in lighted areas. Not mentioned in the review or in Panasonics online literature is the type of HDMI inputs - there are two inputs and they are HDMI 1.3 (take note PS3 owners).
Nintendo Switch 2 stick drift is already an issue, but accessory makers are already working on magnetic joysticks.
I've never had stick drift in any controller I've ever owned. All my joycons (3 sets) from my Switch are perfectly fine. My Switch 2 ones are good. Never had a dualshock / dualsense have it (did have a dualshock get a stuck trigger once). Even my Valve Index controllers which were notorious for drift were fine for me.
Varies. Just because you've never had one doesn't mean others won't. I've had PS, Xbox, and Nintendo controllers indeed drift on me. Remember the drift lawsuits that Nintendo has had.
Please stop trying to say that traditional potentiometers are absolutely fine when hall effect/tmr sticks are beyond superior lol, not sure why so many people keep trying to defend potentiometers when hall effects are so pro consumer.
Companies like nintendo, sony, and mcsft don't want to implement them simply because they want you the consumer to keep buying them. Most casuals will just buy a new controller if theirs difts, easy money for the big 3.
I've gone hall effects and have never gone back, can leave my controllers out absolutely fine without worry of dust ruining the sticks.
when did I say that traditional joysticks are absolutely fine? I'm sharing my own experience here. I never said that others don't experience issues, nor that this is somehow acceptable. Strange leapfrog from A to B on that one.
People love to say it's a huge widespread issue, yet you only hear about it because the minority is vocal whereas the majority don't report anything because they are fine.
I'm happy you switched to hall effect sticks, if that's what works for you, then awesome.
Cool? Pretty sure this is for those who are having it happen. Not sure how your anecdote addresses other peoples' problems.
people around here act like everyone will get drift. I'm willing to wager more people won't get drift than will.
lucky you. I've only had minor drift once in my L Joycon which I fixed with some card stock, but drift is an undeniable problem as a whole.
My 2 sets of Joy-Cons from my OG Switch started to drift with just a month of use. That is why I bought Dobe Joy-Cons with just $25, and until now they are still fine. I hope this will never happen again on my Switch 2.
My left joy con for the OG Switch got stick drift right away as well. I never had issues with my PS5 controllers since launch until I got my kids PS5’s and they had stick drift with 2 controllers. They drop them because they are kids and although I have them wash their hands before gaming they still get gunk under them somehow. I got their controllers modded because they would have issues no matter what I have them do.
"people around here act like everyone will get drift. I'm willing to wager more people won't get drift than will."
no, nobody is acting like that, you're jsut exaggerating it and lying to downplay a problem
you know, i said the same thing not too long ago and then BOOM both controllers ha.
one on the moving stick and one on the look around stick.
both suck arse. ha
The tech is already there. I had a couple of my PS5 controllers modded with Hall Effect modules and they work great. They should come standard with them these days but they don’t.
Nyxi already made some fantastic Hall Effect controllers for Switch 1. I don't know why Nintendo couldn't have it by now if Nyxi has had for years.
Cheap, frictionless sensors ALREADY exist. Why are they "working hard to combat stick drift"? Stick drift should be a thing of the past at this point. The technology is here...NOW. It has been...for YEARS! Why is stick drift even still spoken about? It shouldn't exist!
Because its a scam for Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft to sell more overpriced controllers.
WD 40 if it's shagg.d anyway why not ? I ordered a new ps5 pad after Helldivers 2 and POE 2 became unplayable due to drift but in the meantime I fired a bit of WD on my balls just below my stick rotated in a clockwise fashion massaging it in so to speak and also did the pin reset thingy and all clean no drift and hit that cancel purchase button like I meant it
Honestly I’ve used my original Switch JoyCons and Pro Controller since launch and only in the last year did I see drift start to show up on one of my JoyCons. I’m sure it happens depending on how much and how firm the joystick is used, but it seems like a minor issue that goes with wear and tear after thousands of hours of play. I wish there had been Hall Effect sticks on Switch 2 just so there’s one less thing to worry about, but I’m not really concerned about it.

I got all excited untill I read it was only 720p which begs the question, why was the projector allowed to have HDMI 1.3 if it's only printing to screen 720. it accepts 1080 but if it can't accept native 1080 I'm not buying.
As nice as that looks, I'm afraid to ask what the price is. lol.
This projector is so badass. Bioshock, Halo 3, Metroid Prime 3, HD DVD's, they all look so sick on this projector. As it says in the review, you won't be able to tell the difference between this 720p projector and a 1080p one. And it's only $1299! (USD street price). It's definitely not worth paying nearly $3000 for a 1080p projector or $3000 for a puny 60" plasma. This sucker gets a screen size of up to 140" in my apartment and it amazes everyone who sees it.
I have an infocus projector I found at a pawn shop and managed to get it for $200-300 and I get high definition out of it. The catch is that it doesnt have anything but s video, rca inputs, and a vga port, so I can only hook up a 360 to it because Microsoft is the only company that makes a cable ($40) hd vga cable specifically for the 360 to do so. And the thing that changes in your settings on the xbox is when you go to hd display, instead of it giving you the choice of 480,720,1080i, and 1080p, it goes from 640X480 all the way up to 1920x1080..........once you play in hd on a projector, you NEVER will go back to an lcd or plasma. I was playing Gears on a 100" screen in HD and it was everything you think it is.................AMAZING!!! But, there are already some other projectors you can buy from circuit city for about $600-$999 that has hdmi inputs and Sony has some high end 1080p projectors which by far are the best looking design wise and maybe even picture wise, and you can get them anywhere from $1799 to about $20,000...........and yes I did say twenty thousand dollars, but imagine having your own private high end movie theater in your house............well worth it.
If you read the review. This projector is so good unless it was next to another 1080p projector you couldn't tell even then Projectcentral said it was hard press to find anything wrong with this projector. I can't afford an awesome $3500 Front Projector or Flat Screen but $1299 is great and you can easily achieve 100" with this thing in a lighted room! Panasonic has some awesome technology when it comes to Front Projectors and they are alway price competively.
This article was place here for those who are budget conscious or don't like blowing money
This projector is considered on the budget end of Front Projection. What is great about these projectors is that the price goes down pretty quickly because of the competitive nature of the mid and higher end projection market. It's easy to find awesome 1080p Projectors in the $3000 to $4000 range today verses 8 to 12 months ago these projectors would have gone for $5000 to $7000.
I wouldn't be surprised if I see this projector drop to sub $1000 prices after Christmas.
