The projector is great! No complaints except that there is no lpcm capabilities. So if you have a Nintendo switch or from what it sounds like any modern gaming system this unit will not pass through lpcm. Digital Dolby + for atmos works fine via eARC but lpcm nothing.

This was the best move I have ever made. The colours are perfect and the sound is excellent. Very easy to hook up and easy to operate. Great buy.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

PROS: * Overdelivers much larger projection than listed specs * 2.2 speakers deliver better sound than on most smart TVs * Full antenna, cable and smart TV capabilities * Tizen OS for smart TV apps * Easy to use interface for TV settings * Digital keystone and focus controls * Complete color setting control for DCI P3 and BT2020 * E-ARC available on HDMI 1 port * Solid metal build with attractive curved body CONS: * Relative high price (but you get more than you paid for) * Surprisingly large size and weight * Laser light well will require regular dusting to keep clean * Rear vertical feet could be longer * Learning curve to set up a proper projected image, especially if you are used to TVs where it's not an issue The projector is solidly built with a curved and white colored full metal chassis. It is also much larger, wider and heavier than I expected but to be fair the weight is due to the high quality construction. It's very similar to the first VCRs in terms of size and weight. (Remember those?) Performance-wise, it overdelivers far above its listed specs. Despite listing a max 120" projection size, I am projecting a full 147" picture onto a plain white wall without use of a projection screenwith absolutely no issues with clarity, sharpness, color, or focus. The picture is perfectly rectangular and focus is consistent and sharp even all the way out to the edges. The picture is bright enough in Dynamic mode to be visible even with full ambient lighting from both a chandelier and a floor lamp AND natural sunlight coming in through a window. Naturally this washes out the picture a bit but it's still quite watchable even without a special light rejecting screen. Of course, turning out the lights and closing the blinds brings out much more brightness, color and contrast for a richer picture. Still, absolutely no need to turn out all the lights if you don't want to. The sound from the forward facing 2.2 speakers is loud and clear and packs a surprisingly good amount of bass. The sound quality is far better than I've encountered on any smart television. The projector is a full smart TV replacement and has both a standard antenna cable and 3 HDMI inputs for cable boxes. The HDMI 1 port is E-ARC capable for console, PC and Blu-Ray player users. It has full smart TV capabilities and uses the same Tizen OS that Samsung's TVs use and offers the most popular smart apps. The settings user interface is also identical with projector specific controls. Keystone and focus are fully digitally controlled. For techheads, you have full control over the color gamuts the projector can use. The biggest challenge new users will have is setting up the projection properly. This requires physically manipulating the height the projector sits at, how close it is to the wall/screen, changing its left/right angles, pushing the rear legs up vertically to even the image out, and then digital changing the keystone and focus if necessary. It is not always clear whether a physical change or a digital one is needed to fix an issue with image. It took an hour's worth of experimentation to figure things out and sometimes involved literally adjusting the projector's position by mere millimeters. The end result is very much worth the effort, though. My only issue is that I feel the adjustable back legs could be much longer than they actually are. Okay, maybe the second biggest challenge. The actual biggest challenge will be the price. It's quite a bit higher than most high-end TVs and even some other competing UST projectors. That said, it bests the other USTs with its smart TV capabilities and doesn't require a separate streaming device and delivers a far larger picture than even the most expensive TVs currently available with just one exception: Samsung's own micro-LED driven The Wall modular panel TV. This is a fabulous device that has made me into a projector convert. There is absolutely no way I am going back to a regular TV ever again.
