I've been searching for a projector for almost a year to upgrade my current home theatre setup. I had my eye on the "ForMovie Theatre 4K UST projector" ever since I came across the "2022 Laser TV showdown" on youtube.
Before this projector, I had a budget projector setup which included a Optoma GT1080Darbee short throw projector, projecting on an Elite Screens Yard Master 2, 120 inch portable projector screen. Even with the portable projector screen the image quality blows the Optoma projector completely out of the water. With my old projector, I had to struggle a lot to get the image to fill-up the projector screen, even with using keystone. ForMovie was a breeze in comparison. I did struggle with adjusting the height of my screen given that the projector is resting on a 30inch high table. For now I've the screen standing on stilts temporarily to get a full 120-inch image on the screen. I plan to upgrade the screen to an ALR screen in the future, until then I'll stick with my current setup.
Few minor annoyances.
- On initial startup the projector took almost 3 hrs to upgrade the firmware. Don't know why it took so long. Factor in this time for your setup.
- One time the remote stopped working. Even using the power on/off button, the remote was not being recognized. I had to hard restart the projector by pulling the power plug on it to get it to work again.
Overall this projector exceeds our expectations. This has been the best investment into enjoying more family together time! You cannot go wrong with this purchase.
