I’ve been using the Formovie UST projector for a month now. And it’s been lovely experience so far. There were not many reviews when I had placed the order a few months ago. The projectorscreen Laser TV Showdown convinced me.
Once the UST projector arrived, the initial set up was smooth and easy. I did not face challenges with the initial placement – have to thank the previous reviewers who’ve provided helpful tips.
The projector set up was fairly straight forward, the menu is intuitive and simple. I found the android apps set up very easy and well integrated. Connecting to WiFi and streaming was a breeze.
I paired the Formovie with a home theater system, and the audio results are spectacular.
My room has light colored walls and couple of windows. So I went with a 120” UST ALR screen, and the results have been very satisfying. The picture quality is stunning in its brightness, richness, and color gamut during day time viewing. In dark room or night time conditions, the experience becomes even better – the contrast and color accuracy.
For comparison, I watched reruns of some movies and shows, I could see details that I had not noticed in the past, the experience was quite immersive, and realistic.
In the time I’ve had the projector, I’ve watched different types of content (sports, naturescapes, movies, shows, etc.) during day time and night.
One issue I have faced is that the chromecast feature does not function seamlessly all the time. I have not tried to resolve this yet, and it could be my user error as well.
Pros: In addition to above comments:
• I’ve not needed to tweak the picture settings much
• Fan was not noticeable most of the time
• Picture quality, sharpness, contrast and deep blacks
• Color accuracy, gamut and brightness
• Works well as a TV replacement, not just a projector.
• Set up was smooth, works well on WiFi
Cons: A few limitations, none of these are significant. I hope the company will address in the future:
• Will be nice if projector would support infrared remote control
• Backlit remote will be nice
• Four adjustable feet vs. two will make the set up far easier
• Flexibility to use the B&W speakers along with the Home Theater system
Conclusion: the Formovie Theater UST projector is a fantastic buy. I am very happy with its performance so far. The ‘cons’ are really not significant and IMHO Formovie has managed to check all the right boxes in delivering a stellar home theater experience at a reasonable price point.
