Top critical review
1.0 out of 5 starsSynchronization issues are a killer.

First let me say that I do like the picture quality of the projector and I would likely be happy overall with the projector. However it consistently loses picture and sound for a period of 10-20 seconds at random times. Best I can assume it loses HDMI sync.
I use it 2-3 times a week mostly streaming (Amazon, Netflix or Hulu from an Amazon Fire TV stick) or BluRay/DVD (from an Oppo UDP-203) thru a Denon AVR-6400H to a Atlona HDR-EX-70-2PS HDBaseT extender (over shielded CAT6). Rarely do I get a full session where the video doesn't lose sync atleast 1-2 times and sometimes far more frequently. Unfortunately for me I purchased this as my media room build was supposed to be coming to completion but 6 months in contractor delays and I didn't unbox until well outside of my return window. But by all my recommendations I would say AVOID this projector, losing synch this consistently is just unacceptable in my opinion. I have spent months trying a number of troubleshooting steps; removing various devices, trying different cables. Nothing has helped consistently and the intermittent nature is beyond frustrating. As soon as I recover from the LARGE expense of creating the (presumed) media room of my dreams, I'll be getting rid of this projector and likely avoiding Vivitek at all costs in the future.
