I bought this projector to set up a home theater in my basement, and I am very impressed with the quality and performance of this device. The picture is bright, clear, and sharp, even in a moderately lit room. The colors are vibrant and accurate, thanks to the RYGCWB color wheel. The sound is decent, but I prefer to use external speakers for a more immersive experience.The projector is easy to install and operate, with a simple remote control and HDMI-Link feature that allows me to control the projector and other devices with one remote. The projector also has a fast response time and a game display mode that enhances the gaming experience. I have played several games on this projector and did not notice any lag or motion blur.The only downside is that the fan is a bit noisy, but it is not too distracting once the movie or game starts. The lamp life is also good, and I hope it will last for many years. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a budget-friendly, high-quality projector.

I was quite unsure of this purchase as most projectors don't deliver what you want. However, I was super surprised with this. I purchased this with the intention of also purchasing BenQ 2150st as the reviews everywhere say it is much better but it is also $950 or 1000 without the sale. I got this on sale for 768$ and said what the hell. I am a picture quality fanatic and have a QLED monitor therefore can see real difference and will base my review off that and why I decided to keep this and not purchase the BenQ.Pros:-Brightness: It delivers during the morning with a pretty good image (can see its off, but it is quite good you wont be disappointed)- Picture Quality: it is quite good, although if you are a person who appreciates every little detail and is used to a OLED/QOLED screen can tell a wordly difference (however you can't really compare this to that as you would have to spend $2000 to compare to 4k OLED)-Features: Really well versed ( I settled on vivid, sharpness 12, contrast -2, brightness (eco most of time to save lamp time, bright when I have people over to experience the most it gives)-Gaming: I am currently playing Monster Hunter Rise (just came out on PC) and with the game feature on, it is quite amazing. Getting to play a game like that on a 200" screen blows your mind.-Portability: I travel a lot and this isn't too heavy and bulky and can be carried around (although it is also not the smallest)Cons:-Noise: If you have this on bright and not eco, man do the fans go off BUT if you have a speaker connected and a movie/show/game is going on you cant really hear it-Speakers: MUST CONNECT YOUR OWN SPEAKERS, do not rely on what is in the projector what so ever-Distance: if you don't have at least 11ft from the wall you are thinking of then don't purchase this and spend a little more money for BenQ 2150st short throw (it is much better color and screen and can have 100" with 3ft)-Heat: As expected, this thing GETS HOT, at least in the Canadian winter you don't have to turn on the heating :') my room IS SPICY.-Connections: Only 1HDMI is quite sad but not the end of the world as you can just replace the wire, meaning I have to get my lazy ass off my comfy chair and do it but this what you get for $768 :)Other than those, this thing is quite amazing for the price. While it is not mind blowing the picture quality is really good with its bright display. While BenQ 2050 or 2150st have better color accuracy and image, is it worth the extra money? for me, no I don't think so as it'll still be on 1080 HD and this gives you what you want for a much better price. The only reason to go for 2150st is if you MUST have short throw distance. So stop looking at the 100 youtube review posts and just purchase this as you will be very happy watching everything at 100-300" screen :)

Easy to use right out of the box and displayed my 3D blurays perfectly. You will need DLP link battery glasses to use the 3D along with a 3D bluray player(or PS3 I think might also play 3D but personally haven't tried ours yet). Additionally....if you are ceiling mounting this....you might want to make sure you have a long HDMI cable and long enough audio cables depending on your personal set up needs. I used ours with a grey hanging pull down projector screen purchased from Amazon and displays beautifully bright with great contrast.(note my image looks blurry...that is because it's a picture while testing out a 3D movie and without the glasses on...it looks doubled/blurry but does not look this way when watching regular bluray movies. It does run a little hot but judging by comments...I think its normal? Not super loud either...slight fan noise but nothing too noticeable especially with a speaker hookup. The audio on the projector alone is not great though....definitely recommend having a speaker to hook it to.

A simple request to customer service via their online portal took 3 weeks to respond and then it was a form letter blowing me off and blaming Covid for their lack of even an attempt to address the questions. This product appears to be an orphan, although recently released it still does not have a soft copy manual and is not to be found on their online portal, although it is widely available at all online electronics outlets. Picture and build quality are adequate but not worth the stellar reviews the product generally gets.

**EDIT: Well, the lamp popped on us last night, definitely nowhere near 12,000hr of use, it hardly lasted 7months. We invested in this one because we REALLY didn’t want to be shelling out money for a replacement bulb twice a year. If we can FIND a bulb. Damn.**Our wall is purple. This beast projects white light onto our purple wall WITHOUT A SCREEN and the light is, indeed, white. This is a powerful projector that has served us beautifully for over a few months now. We put our Roku HDMI stick into one of the 2 HDMI ports in the back (with the USB power attachment conveniently fitting right into the USB port in the back of the projector) and our gaming consoles into the other (sharing an HDMI), and I'm not ashamed to admit that I shed tears at the majesty.There's a whole array of color / brightness / contrast / tint / etc. options to zero in on your optimal image. There's also a really great Eco Mode that dims the screen a little, which we use for nighttime viewing before going to sleep. When the Eco Mode is off, Bright Mode is engaged and an internal fan turns on. It's really not loud at all and doesn't do anything to cover or muffle the internal speaker (which IS quite audible, even at a volume setting of 1. how high it goes, I don't know, because I've never set it above 3 and that was with a room full of people).We have it set up about 10-12 feet away from our wall, for reference. The image is wonderfully giant compared to TVs I've had in the past, and I don't think I could be any happier for all of the considering the price point.

One problem I have is that I use this primarily from behind the couch, at about eye level. At this particular height (probably the least common), the image is projected too high for the space I want it in. The instructions say the project has to be fairly level when in operation (I think the allowable angle change from level is +/-15°). So basically it has to be at coffee table height or hanging from the ceiling.Bluetooth audio capability would have been nice.A larger range of screen sizes via the zoom function would have been helpful.More input options would have been nice too...it only has 1 HDMI port and nothing else. There is a USB power OUT port, but not sure what I would use that for...I tried to use it with a USB-powered speaker, and a loud piercing noise was observed.Overall, though, I love it. The screen is fairly bright even during the day. I am currently projecting on a non-prepped, light gray wall until a permanent solution is decided upon, and I am still amazed at the quality of the image. I may do nothing further as far as the 'screen' is concerned.My main reason for selecting this model was its 3D capability. It's outstanding, at least to my eyes. Again, I am projecting onto a light gray wall--I was wondering if the 3D would work at all but it does, fabulously. It has 2 3D modes (i forget what the second one is) but I use DLP Link mode and DLP Link glasses that I bought here at Amazon:-DLP Link 3D Glasses, ELEPHAS 144Hz Rechargeable Active Shutter Eyewear for Most DLP-Link 3D Projectors- Acer, ViewSonic, BenQ Vivitek, Optoma, Panasonic, Dell, Viewsonic (4 Pack)In case you were wondering, 3D DLP Link glasses sync with the images on the screen by a nearly invisible (to naked eyes) rapid white flash embedded in the 3D video. These should not be confused with 3D DLP glasses (similar name but without the 'LINK') which require an IR emitter pointed at the viewers to sync the glasses for proper 3D viewing.

I have purchased a variety of projectors over the last decade. DLP, LCD, every type of display and lumens etc. after reading the reviews, I realized this unit had no complaints similar to any of my previous units. If you want the best picture, flexible mounting options and don’t care about having frills like AI auto focus and keystone correction etc., I doubt you’ll find anything near this good for under $1000.00. Nothing but Laser for me now! Buy it!

Produto de qualidade, mas não vem com manual, cabo HDMI, capa... fabrica deveria ter um cuidado maior, já que trata-se de algo tão caro.
