I have had the Formovie Theater projector over a week now and I feel like I can finally write an honest review. I am using a Spectra Vantage 120" ALR screen and it is absolutely amazing! I read hundreds of reviews regarding all different projectors and their pros/cons. I can honestly say this projector lives up to the hype! I have the screen + projector in my living so I do not have the lighting conditions completely done yet but it is still amazing even during the day. At night, its breathtaking and just straight up incredible to have the experience of watching shows and movies on a big screen in my living room. I have it connected to my Apple TV 4K through my Denon X2800H AVR and it all works perfectly. I turn on my Apple TV and it automatically turns on the AVR and the Formovie projector. I do have surround sound speakers so I can not really give much insight into the projectors speakers themselves but the few times i have used them, they sound great!
Setting up the projector was a breeze and once you get it positioned, you never want to turn it off! I read online about all of the color correction that you had to do to make it look good but I was blown away with the projector right out of the box! Without any color correction on the setting menu, I thought it was amazing! I am not the most cinemaphile or movie buff but I thought even without any correction, everything looked great. The Apple TV 4K does have a color bar that you can bring up on the screen and compare how colors looked in factory settings versus the calibration settings provided on projectorscreen.com. Projectorscreen.com settings did improve the picture but i honestly cant tell by how much. I just know it did make it slightly better but thats not to say that factory settings are unwatchable.
Depending what device/app you stream from, you do get different quality of picture. Streaming from Apple+/amazon prime video/netflix will give you much better picture quality versus streaming videos from the youtube app, even on AppleTV 4K, but thats just how it goes. It is the same quality comparison as viewing on my computer.
I have attached some pictures for you to see yourself the quality that this projector/projector screen combo can produce! I have pictures from nighttime and day time. My living has blinds on the windows and if I am watching during the day, they are closed but it's not blackout at all. I still have to order and install some better window treatments. Even on a sunny afternoon with the windows closed, the picture is great!
(please disregard the ripples in the screen.. I am planning to fix that when i have an extra set of hands to help with taking the screen down and redoing the springs so they done at the same time for equal tension all around. Even with the ripples, the picture looks incredible and i forget they are there)
(Also, there is a slight halo of light around the screen, i have read that is an issue with the these types of projectors but I also have used keystone correction a little just to get the picture to fit perfectly. I am going to have to move the projector to fix the screen and i didnt want to waste time getting the projector positioned just to move it again. I have bought but not installed large velvet theater curtains to hang around the screen to mask the halo effect and give a more movie theater type experience)
