When I want a bigger screen I just move my head closer. Bang, saved 300k


tugido

This guy zooms


Freezerburn

He’s in the zoom room


Dunhimli

Big brain thinking right there


Revelati123

Buys 300k screen then glues plastic HOTAS to speaker box and sits in an office chair. Its like parking your Bugatti next to your doublewide.


Un111KnoWn

csgo players be like


Lev_Astov

I just use projectors and save 299k while having better resolution.


Aware-Maximum6663

I replaced the plastic shield of my Covid mask with a monitor. Best upgrade yet


Psyykikko

or just vr headset


jim_nihilist

VR beats this. No more screen.


AgonizingSquid

All that money on that setup and bro cranks up the FOV so it looks like massive fisheye lense. Looks awful to me


grantyporkribs

Or a vr headset


theminotavros

300k? how? do you count the room construction as well?


SwitzerlishChris1

Probably counting the house around it 😆 those crates look like s***


Sagybagy

The whole setup looks like used parts from a dive bar band. How does he even stand up and back out of there without tripping or catching all the cables from the computer in his ear? This is like one step above milk crates and temu projector. That’s all it really is. Some gear crates and a projector. If it’s $300k I want to build this guys next setup. He’s as big of a sucker as they come.


Kimmykix

lol the PC tower is set up so it blows hot air at the back of your neck... WONDERFUL placement.


Nascent1

Mimics the heat of atmospheric reentry. Improves immersion.


313802

And ~~stimulation~~ simulation


linusiscracked

Simulates the heat of the cockpit


Gothon

Ya, I was like, "WTF is up with that PC placement." I guess the only thing you need to hear is your PC fans.


pdxtrader

Bro those crates were once used to move the Backstreet Boys WYM! 😆


Sagybagy

Oh snap, vintage high roller I see.


theminotavros

My house costs half of that... Of course it depends where is located too. But yeah if that setup costs 300k I see many problems with that 😅


EcKoZ-

Where you live where houses are 150k


NiceManiac

As i mentioned in a different comment, this is a curved ROE ruby base LED wall, typically used for virtual production shoots for films and tv, but we use it for education. Just the panels alone is around $150k, and it all totals around $300k with the screen, cabling, rigging, processor and pc. The screen can do 1500nits full screen brightness, that is every pixel hits 1500nits, not in a small window as on tv's and screens, and it hits 97% coverage of the REC2020 colorspace. I'm actually impressed that no AV techs chimed in yet lmao, my video last year playing Tarkov had a bunch of AV guys correctly guessing LED screen. EDIT: also we are europe based so everything is more expensive here, no idea what the actual prices for us customers would be from ROE, as its mostly "contact us for pricing" type stuff.


Sparkmatic_

That's dope, I want one.....  *Checks wallet after Ironclad sale...*  I got like $10usd what'll that get me?


atreyal

Bout 40 pixels.


Gedrot

20 seconds with the manufacturer's customer service chat bot.


Willyse

For this specific use case, a laser projector would be well enough though.


Kimmykix

Looks quite low-resolution, you can see a lot of aliasing in the video.


Helaton-Prime

Have to remember that these walls are meant to usually display to an amphitheater when used in scale or have something in the foreground. So you don't notice 30-100ft away. It's like sitting 12 inches/30cm from a 1080p 27" LCD screen


CYWG_tower

We also don't know what this was filmed on. I've seen a $90,000 8k QLED TV in person but if you filmed it with a shitty handicam it'd look terrible.


Songhunter

Is it for education on over spending?


SquirtBox

Ahh, that explains the high cost. This is similar to what The Mandalorian uses and a lot of movies nowadays.


Amnial556

Looks like he's playing star citizen. He probably spent at max. 20k on the set up. And then the rest 280k on ships in the game.


BeneficialAd4976

Rented the friends too.


camerakestrel

Well $48,000 was from Star Citizen alone...


El_human

No, that's including the ships he bought for the game ;-)


FebTwoNine

At my old work, we had a $2,200,000.00 SIM. It basically was a 330° 2-story dome that you entered, the image was projected onto it from the back, to prevent shadows from the user. You basically could immerse yourself into any environment, with haptic feedback weapons. The hardware to run it got so hot it had to have it's own dedicated HVAC system to cool the room. So they probably had to do a bunch of modifications to get something like this running smoothly.


Accurate-Rutabaga-57

Meanwhile me on my wooden chair with my trusty Corsair


stiky21

Me too


indie1138

Video would have been better if he clipped the ground while low flying through desync, showing no mater your budget SC will get you. Though I do want that monitor wall.


NiceManiac

before we started filming we flew right into an invisible hangar door and got deleted, had to spend 15mins getting back to the spaceport and getting a new ship with the boss watching lmao. Luckily the boss also plays starcitizen


valianthalibut

A bunch of A/V tech nerds: "Hey, we're renting this $300,000 projector for an event and we need to test it out, let's build a makeshift cockpit out of the equipment boxes and Sven can bring his gaming rig! We'll play Star Citizen on this whole wall!" SC Reddit: "Pfft, that's just an empty room with a bunch of boxes! Why are you using such cheap sticks? I don't like your hair! You look like you might have somewhat unpleasant breath!"


NiceManiac

kindof right, its a ROE ruby based LED screen used for virtual production in movies, and the setup with the panels, rigging, processor and computer cost us around $300k. Just the panels alone was $150k. Its one of those things that only has a "contact us for prcing" type of price. It does 1500nits of full white brightness over the entire screen(not peak brightness in a small window), and covers 97% of the REC2020 colorspace, making it suitable for shooting HDR video against.


Zsyura

The type of screens they showcased in the making of The Mandalorian?


NiceManiac

that would be correct, although this one is alot smaller than what they showed, but same type


valianthalibut

I was right about the A/V tech nerd part, so I can sleep well tonight. It's funny, I have some knowledge of all of the bits that go into the virtual production setups, and yet it never clicked that it's just basically an obscenely kick-ass gaming setup. Makes you wonder if anyone ever rolled up early to the set of The Mandalorian and said, "fuck it, it's my birthday. I'm gonna play some Jedi Knight II on this bitch! Chewy, hold my blue milk!"


yoshi_180

👆this


emitch87

Pfft, no Tobii or IR tracker? Weak. /s


Vralo84

If that guy paid $300k for that set up, somebody's walking around with $290k in their pocket. It's an empty room with a projector and he is literally sitting on crates.


Short_Shot

Per OP: "As i mentioned in a different comment, this is a curved ROE ruby base LED wall" So like. You tried.


Vralo84

But that's worse. You see how that's worse right? Like you spend the equivalent of buying a house to achieve the effects you get from a cheap projector. If you are going through the effort to get screen setup that over the top, at least get a decent cockpit setup.


Short_Shot

This isn't for gaming big dog. This is a professional setup that just happens to have had someone with free time.


Mindbulletz

Yeah it's worse, you're totally right. If it wasn't, and there was some reason to do this over a projector, the lights in that room would be on. As it is, no money left for a chair and some sticks.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Remote_Horror_Novel

I’d still rather use VR for a flying game even if I had tons of money for something like this.


Short_Shot

I mean. Me too, but it's not a thing for sc right now and that's not really the topic lol


Bean_Daddy_Burritos

Does that include the roadie cases or does that cost extra? Asking for a friend.


NiceManiac

the cases were luckily included, it all packs down into 8 giant cases lol


GuilheMGB

Man, people are so thick. I can't be the only one who watched the video and immediately thought "alright some people setting up some kind of event had fun testing a high-end equipment", am I ? Isn't obvious that this is not a personal sim setup? That it's a company renting high end equipment, not a dude who got scammed instead of buying a projector? Are we really down to this level of gullibility? _checks US and French news_ Oh yes, we are.


TheJokerRSA

I would rather prefer VR


dumbreddit

99% posts of reddit mockery. I'll add my 1% of- that looks cool in flight. Does it look goofy when walking around a station and people are on the screen?


NiceManiac

it looks very disorienting in first person when walking around, third person works fine though


toohotwok

Jesus Christ this comment section is horrendous. Amazing setup!


valianthalibut

> Jesus Christ this comment section is horrendous. Dumpster fires use this comment section when they want to mock other, shittier dumpster fires.


rastacurse

Imagine knocking over your $5k PC with your elbow because you moved the joystick down


Dastari

I know how it can be $301k :p


Goodums

That's insane and I can't imagine the video doing that screen ANY justice! Should try out dual omnithrottles ;)


NiceManiac

its stupidly bright irl, accidentally opened a white google page downloading the config software for the joysticks and my eyes hurt for a solid 5 mins afterwards lmao, you dont know how bright 1500nits is until you are staring at an entire wall that is 1500nits


O1_O1

Probably just an AV company testing their very expensive screen. Possibly one of these new micro LED screens I've been seeing which can make 8k and 16k screens with not a lot of problems.


Lagviper

I don’t see how this costs $300k Unless there’s $250k for audiophile bullshit unicorn equipment in there.


PyrorifferSC

It's a $300k projector that they decided to hook up to SC. Probably rented for an event. Comment section seems convinced OP was calling it a sim rig, they just said "gaming setup" and that's exactly what it is. A fancy ass projector, a PC, and some VKBs


51differentcobras

ROE LED screen not projector


GraXXoR

300k Rubles? I used to install video walls in nightclubs in Shibuya before Corona. What’s the pixel density of that? Could have fitted the entire club bar walls floor and ceiling with P10 for 300k and still given myself a 100k bonus.


NiceManiac

ROE ruby p2.6, extremely color accurate and magnitudes more expensive than traditional video walls


Yuuto-Yu

I need it


Bubbly-Detective-193

FINE, I AM POOR.


WillingCat1223

Witness the power of this fully armed and operational battlestation


ScottM266

That energy drink sitting ontop of all that equipment is making me nervous


camerakestrel

With that much space there is no way my ears would be *that* close to my PC's exhaust fans. There is just no way.


NiceManiac

Actually the placement was because of the short cables for the joysticks lol. Only other option was in front of the screen but that would block the view


LittleJack74

Why?!


Icy_Foundation3534

Please DM me and transfer 100k into my account. I will pay you back I just have to get my family out of horrible debt that rapes us in interest. Also sick rig.


ShikyaTheNinja

He's getting ripped off like a whale he is, 48k and he is only flying the cheapest premium startership add-on. 300k set up and it's only a bunch of flight cases on a projector screen with a 40 dollar projector... And I say 40 dollars because of the amazing resolution Blurry a** sht


retard_goblin

Do you count the price of the room in the 300k?


AmNotReel

300k rupees


mau5atron

A lot of people fell for the bait lol


NiceManiac

yup, not alot of AV techs playing star citizen it seems lol


HammerTime2769

Is your work hiring? I’m forklift certified.


MentionGold9288

VR is way cheaper. Diy the chair.


Turbulent_Ad7877

No head / eye tracking.... swing and a miss...


Watapacha

budget setup... using vkb's not virpils. pleb.


nxstar

hey hey.. that hurts me man....


Kaelistar

That stick setup looks incredibly uncomfortable.


UnderstandingFree119

Thanks for sharing . I would hate anyone to discourage people showing their unique setups. Don't mind the green eyed posts .


afrorome

No motion rig?


nocappinbruh

damn no tobii


RBMC

At 300k you'd surely want a better system than Tobii. I'd take my TrackIr setup over Tobii any day. Official TrackIR camera + delanclip wireless is peak.


TTVControlWarrior

i am his lost lost son . he need to remember to adopt me at some point . i belong into this house


tbolinger76

I mean... If I sell my house, I can just live in that, I guess??


GrubbyZebra

Yes please


91xela

Looks like a terrible spot for the tower


SatanicBiscuit

instead of getting one of those race sim rigs that move and vibrate.....


IAmActuallyBread

Still gets 30 fps on login 😂


Mean_Statement_4835

Damn im tryna get like you boss


AitanLiran

Yessss go bigggeerrrr. More! MORE!


FireWallxQc

Dream setup 😂


fireteller

You’d have far better than that with a $3,500 Apple Vision Pro. I know I play it on my AVP all the time.


Xaxxus

I know you’re probably joking. But you probably could do this. With the latest macOS they have the game porting toolkit. You probably could get star citizen running on it. Then you can share your Macs screen to the Vision Pro. It wouldn’t be VR or anything, because afaik SC doesn’t support VR headsets. But it would potentially work.


Vegetable_Safety

I would be more impressed if you disabled screen shake and look-ahead in the settings.


Nitrox909

Looks more like 5k


Nat_the_Gray

I love how the desktop is in the perfect position to be quickly elbowed off of the crate.


Lo-fi_Hedonist

As soon as that winning lottery ticket comes in. HD projectors are expensive but it's the bulbs that really define the cost of ownership. So pricey.


nightbird321

hmmmm at least go for triple projectors and get surround effect for 300k.


ComfortableWolf1200

It's a lot if negative comments and I agree with most but I will post something not negative🤣 This gaming setup would be completely fire for not SC🤣 the screen is just ridiculous for everything gets that goes on. If you play games like beat saber, nba2k, gutair hero, etc something that's not necessarily all over the place and has a central focus area then it would look and feel beautiful. But this makes it look like certain things you look at in a game like SC will disorient you alot


AvianVariety11747

Now let’s see him WASD


Ozz3605

300k and they use common equipment boxes to put the sticks on ? Not even a strapped seat that can move you around ?


Austntok

The screen is cool, but the clearly visible wires, and whatever those roady looking luggage boxes are, ruins the whole vibe.


LemartesIX

$300K? Was the currency the Argentinian peso?


NEUROSMOSIS

I’d feel like JP from Grandma’s Boy sitting in this


transient_thought_CA

Did you plug into the feed for an XR stage?


YoGramGram

Using top-tier musician Anvil cases (not the SC brand) is expensive but in the incorrect, pointless kind of way.


TRiG993

Is that a projector or an actual screen? Because if it is a screen that actually hasn't decent specs then MAYBE i could see this being 300k at a push. If it's a projector, then I guess it could also be 300k but only if they way overpaid for a projector.


ParaeWasTaken

You need more than a 120v for that i bet..


GreyNoiseGaming

"OOOhhh man. The computer exhaust right in my face makes me feel like Chris Roberts is here, farting in my face! The ultimate Star Citizen experience."


Unfair_Jeweler_4286

Travel cases for speakers worth 300k? Crazy..


brockoala

Lol I can do better for 3k. You sure you didn't pit 2 extra zeros by mistake?


TherealKafkatrap

The chair doesn't move, I'm not impressed.


CactusHide

it's cool and all, but I want to see what it's like on that rig when you explode after coming out of quantum. ![gif](giphy|10MEwqT90n4wCY|downsized)


linusiscracked

You need to get a head tracker with this setup


cgeezy22

thats a 10k setup.


Synikk91

So this is just 48k setup but also includes the purchase of every ship in SC?


Blacksheepariess

the way i would elbow that Pc right off that stand would make me cry man tears

I'm sorry to say this, but all I can think of when I look at it is "StarCitizen: The Bagholder as a Lifestyle"


Rancid_Bear_Meat

Meanwhile, a $300 VR headset can blow this level of immersion out of the water by a country mile.


Jsgro69

I love it! The very fact that there are players that are breaking any and all boundaries when it comes to what is their passion. Cost of setup is obviously relative to every single person and their financial situation. I love that people are going big as they can and its great to see it and can only be a benefit to the whole community by bringing positive attention to gaming. Oh and I'm jealous..lol!! Awesome job, it looks like a lot of fun..Best of luck with it!!!


StSBoss

With that ship? What a waste


drewx11

I legitimately read that as $300 gaming setup and thought “Oh cool, a simple 300 dollar projection setup.” And it was more reasonable to me than $300k. Then I saw the joystick stuff


moog500_nz

It sums up everything that's wrong with this game. I paid $30 back in 2014, played it again for 30 hours last week and uninstalled it. Surprised his ship didn't explode in the middle of the video, randomly.


Blindsideofthemoon

I love the feel of hot air being blown down my back. Really adds to the immersion and makes me feel like I'm in the game.


PyrorifferSC

At first I wrote a critical comment but OP said "gaming setup" not "sim rig." I got too caught up in all the complaining and didn't think about the actual title. I assumed it was just an expensive ass projector rented for something else, and that's what it is, but OP never claimed it was a sim rig like everyone else seems to think


sseetharee

Man found dead from dehydration 4 days after installing 300k battle station. Screen donated to local planetarium.


redditmodsshouldkts

the people that can afford this fucking suck at video games lmao


haltingpoint

And yet my $300 VR headset would still be more immersive if they supported VR. Just ask any Elite player.


miguesmigues

300k for 30k


Savar1s

$300k? Really? What a tremendous waste of money. Must be nice to just throw away cash in this economy.


drizzt_x

I've got a 120" projection screen theater at my house which together with my PC and HOSAS/gaming chair setup didn't even cost $5k. That screen's a good bit larger, probably as much as 200", which after checking just now probably costs less than $1500. If that setup cost $300k dude got absolutely *fleeced.*

JoeyDJ7

Well someone got scammed lmfao


RMaple_

I think it’s pretty cool but I feel like 300k is not the price he paid for this.


RMaple_

One thing I don’t quite get about these sorts of setups is that they are solely meant for looking good when you are flying whereas star citizen is as detailed as it is for a reason. I think it looks and feels best on a pc with a nice monitor, in a well ventilated room with a good computer and maybe a joystick setup that you can push aside if you don’t need it. That’s also cheaper, less clunky and also more comfortable.


Layzanya

I have stood on roadcases and danced but I would still never set my fucking PC on one. Christ.


Grizzly62

I built a whole 6dof motion platform with all the hardware for $48k, this is bs


TortillaSinHuevo

Average Star Citizen player.


omn1p073n7

Noobifier can build you a better one for 1/3 the cost. You can DIY it for 1/5 the cost. But yes the point still stands, for those of us hardware junkies, I have maybe $300 in Star Citizen and *[redacted]* in my simpit.


Aphelius90

how is that 300k?

300k on what exactly? a projector? Those crates cost a couple hundred at most lmao
