Got this last year after a lot of research and focus on the negative reviews, so had some idea of pros and cons and limitations going in.
Getting the picture to fit on the screen was a challenge, had to buy furniture that was only 12" from surface to floor. The grid with the corner handles is your friend for fine adjustments. Picture quality is very good, brightness and black levels are really good (I have a Samsung HDTV and this projector beats that all the way on black levels, not quite OLED TV level black colors but still really good). The interface and app support are klunky but manageable. I use a Roku for streaming so all my remote use is on the Roku, I only use the device remote to turn it on. If you don't get 4K quality check your connection speed (if it's not fast enough you can't even choose the HDR modes - they are grayed out). I use the browser in the app section to check download speeds. Sound quality from the built in speakers is also very good. They missed some design cues - the legend/symbols over the LED lights on the device are impossible to make out. But after all of that, it was really delivering great picture quality and sound for an immersive experience.
Then I downloaded a firmware upgrade and it said applying update and went dark - I had no idea what was going on except one of the LEDs was red. Left it overnight, and tried to restart the following morning and it would not restart. Called customer service and received a bin file (with same upgrade) that I put on a thumb drive and plugged it in to the projector. It still wouldn't work, the LEDs came on and flashed and then went to steady red. Sent it to them and they said the equivalent of the motherboard was not working. So I am getting a new projector now. Kevin Mackie was excellent, courteous and professional in handling my request from start to finish. Can't say enough good things about him.
I will update this review once I get the new one and get to enjoy it for a bit longer.
6/19 - Update
I have had the new replacement for a while now, really happy with this purchase. The picture is stunning in my set up dark walls, no/very low natural light. I have a purchased a custom made cover as well, you will need that if your projector sits out in the open (costs about $30).

Great Picture quality and customer service
Got this last year after a lot of research and focus on the negative reviews, so had some idea of pros and cons and limitations going in.Getting the picture to fit on the screen was a challenge, had to buy furniture that was only 12" from surface to floor. The grid with the corner handles is your friend for fine adjustments. Picture quality is very good, brightness and black levels are really good (I have a Samsung HDTV and this projector beats that all the way on black levels, not quite OLED TV level black colors but still really good). The interface and app support are klunky but manageable. I use a Roku for streaming so all my remote use is on the Roku, I only use the device remote to turn it on. If you don't get 4K quality check your connection speed (if it's not fast enough you can't even choose the HDR modes - they are grayed out). I use the browser in the app section to check download speeds. Sound quality from the built in speakers is also very good. They missed some design cues - the legend/symbols over the LED lights on the device are impossible to make out. But after all of that, it was really delivering great picture quality and sound for an immersive experience.Then I downloaded a firmware upgrade and it said applying update and went dark - I had no idea what was going on except one of the LEDs was red. Left it overnight, and tried to restart the following morning and it would not restart. Called customer service and received a bin file (with same upgrade) that I put on a thumb drive and plugged it in to the projector. It still wouldn't work, the LEDs came on and flashed and then went to steady red. Sent it to them and they said the equivalent of the motherboard was not working. So I am getting a new projector now. Kevin Mackie was excellent, courteous and professional in handling my request from start to finish. Can't say enough good things about him.I will update this review once I get the new one and get to enjoy it for a bit longer.6/19 - UpdateI have had the new replacement for a while now, really happy with this purchase. The picture is stunning in my set up dark walls, no/very low natural light.
