I replaced my TV with the Formovie Theater projector because I wanted a bigger screen but no way did I want to pay for a huge TV. Also, I wanted UHD Dolby Vision, and to my knowledge this was one of the first projectors to offer it. So I jumped. And I was not disappointed. The image is clear, colors are solid, even before calibration, the contrast is incredible (getting an ALR screen is a must though) and the ease of use is a plus. EARC makes connecting my devices to my sound system a breeze. I don’t think I will go back to a TV because a projector image is huge. I’m running 100in screen and watching movies and playing games is just incredible. Even the wife was impressed.
So far I have discovered three minor nitpicks of the system. 1. Game mode only works on port one. I only discovered this because I first plugged my ps5 into port 2 and the lag was not great. Plugging into port 1 was fine for lag. I’m not a professional gamer.
2. I don’t like to use voice assistant so I turned off the mic via the manual switch. However doing so, leaves the voice command indicator LEDS on the front, on all the time.
3. The fan is louder than expected. My projector is in a living room setup and I can hear a low hum, probably as steady as a fridge, but not loud. I can hear it sitting on my couch 10ft away. However, when my sound system volume is at a moderate level, I can’t hear it.
Other than that, I would pick this projector up. There’s a reason why it won the 2022 competition.
