Thinking of getting this projector as my first ever tv purchase. Wondering if anyone out there has experience with it as it seems hard to find projectors to view anywhere.

Thanks.

Just saw a youtube about a HighSense laser projector and looks darned good. I mean I don't know how people put up with traditional, all washed out, sad contrast projectors.

Laser projectors maybe new, u run the risk of first adopters.

I like being a first adopter. Have heard of highsense, but also heard some get what you pay for warnings.

With any projector you do need to be able to control the ambient light and especially the light that would fall directly on the screen. If you can do that there is no substitute for a really big screen. There are screens that reject ambient light but they are not cheap. Projectors don't handle HDR as well as better flat panel TVs but you are less likely to get halos around bright objects on a dark background either.

I have a basement home theater room with no windows and a double bar with a dance floor in between. It's always been planned as the theater room. Shouldn't be any issue with any ambient light whenever we want to use it. I love that this model will go up to a max of 150'. My only concern with that is the angle of the projection as there is some duct work that hangs a little lower on one side of the room. Is there a way to mount the projector lower than ceiling height if that becomes an issue?

This model seems to have some really cool features. Please share your experience here after purchasing.
