This projector is really the all-in-one device (affordable, insane picture quality, and sound system). Dolby vision really comes through and adds much more contrast (making blacks blacker). The projector + ALR screen with indoor lightings looks great. I was really impressed with how clear the projector looked without it be washed out much. However, the project does struggle more with natural sunlight (since the light rays just bounce everywhere). It still looks really good in bright scenes, but darker scenes struggle. I got blackout shades to help during the day. The sound system on this is out of this world. You don't even need to buy a home theater sound system with this. The bower & wilkers integrated speakers are so gooood, and it gets LOUD. So loud that my fiance won't even let me turn it up to half volume. It never crackles, and its so crisp and clear. Lastly: projectorscreens.com is legit. I never heard of them before, but their customer service is really good and responsive, and shipping is fast. I was really pleased with the whole process and would really recommend this to everyone I know.
Things to Watch Out For:
- Netflix doesn't work natively. Even though the projector runs on Android TV OS, Netflix requires the product be partnered with them or else the app doesn't work.
- Need an ALR (ambient light-rejecting) screen. Basically don't spend this much money on a projector if you're not getting the screen because it makes a massive difference.
- May require custom TV Console/stand. I had to find a really low stand for this projector so that I didn't have to mount the ALR screen super high. So I may have to make a custom tv console.
