I want to preface this review by stating that I am a novice home theater enthusiast. I have friends who have spent anywhere from $5,000 to $10,000 on 4k projectors and they recommended those models, but I'd probably get divorced if I spent that much on a projector. So instead, I replaced my 10 year old 1080p Epson projector with the Formovie Theater after seeing the numerous reviews and comparison videos. After I got it up and running, my jaw fell to the floor. The brightness and colors stood out more than the higher priced projectors of my friends. Even my spouse, who was very skeptical, said "Ok...this was worth it!" I don't have a special screen, but ambient light doesn't kill my image like it did with my older projector. For $3,000 shipped, this is clearly not only the best bang for your buck, but it surpasses the quality of other projectors I've seen out there.
Pros:
Ultra short throw eliminates the need for complicated ceiling mounts, running long cables. People can now walk in front of the screen without blocking the image.
Crisp, vibrant colors.
Brightness is amazing in a low lit room.
Long laser lifetime.
Basically plug and play. One HDMI connection to your video source and you're good to go.
Quiet
Cons:
The only negative is aligning the projector to your screen. Since there is no digital adjustment of screen size other than keystone, you will be fiddling to find the perfect height and distance from the wall.
