Great projector with strong gaming performance

This projector delivers excellent color, deep blacks, and bright whites, and handles gaming without issues. An app can adjust for wall waviness when no screen is used, and the image looks good even without a screen. It performs well in a basement room with half windows covered by blackout curtains. The main drawback is its large physical size, which makes finding a suitable surface difficult, especially with 8-foot ceilings; a coffee table works but is not ideal.

Pros
  • + great color
  • + amazing blacks and whites
  • + keeps up with gaming
  • + wall waviness adjustment app
  • + looks good without a screen
Cons
  • − large physical size
  • − difficult to find a surface to sit it on

Stunning image even in bright sunlight

This ultra short throw projector paired with a UST ALR screen produces an image that looks like a giant LCD TV rather than a projection, even with direct sunlight on the screen. Colors are vibrant and the picture remains clear in bright rooms. It handles FPS games on PS5 and Xbox Series X without issues, and reportedly has the lowest lag time among UST projectors as of October 2022. The main drawback is the high price, but the performance justifies the cost.

Pros
  • + Image looks like a giant LCD TV
  • + Vibrant and clear even in direct sunlight
  • + Low lag for gaming
  • + Works well with PS5 and Xbox Series X
Cons
  • − Expensive

Works but HDMI ports fail and support is costly

The projector functions, but two HDMI ports arrived broken and only HDMI 3 works. Streaming through native Android TV apps shows purple and green streaks during video playback, while menus look fine. A Fire Stick cannot display video despite being detected. Customer support states the unit is out of warranty, offering only paid repair with shipping, diagnostic fees, and no cost estimate, or a refurbished replacement. Repair may take weeks and return shipping is at the owner's expense. Not recommended after roughly 4,200 hours over three years.

Pros
  • + Unit works well overall
Cons
  • − Two HDMI ports broken on arrival
  • − Only HDMI 3 functional
  • − Native Android TV apps show purple and green streaks during playback
  • − Fire Stick video unavailable
  • − Zero customer support
  • − Out-of-warranty repair requires shipping, diagnostic fee, and no cost estimate
  • − Repair may take weeks
  • − Return shipping at owner's expense
  • − Requires two remotes to operate projector and Fire Stick
