This projector is the best of its type out there, bar none.
I am an avid videophile, with a large collection of high-end televisions and projectors. And I am also very technically astute- I have calbration software and a colorimeter, and I calibrate my own displays.
I bought this because I wanted the best of the best in terms of color gamut, brightness, and 3D in a large screen size.
This unit absolutely delivers. I own a HiSense L9G, and this is every bit as good in terms of color gamut, color accuracy, but with the added benefit of extra brightness and full 3D, including frame-packing (Blu Ray 3D). Plus, you get a motorized zoom lens for fine focusing for various screen sizes up to 150 inches, something else that the excellent HiSense doesn't deliver.
The color gamut, at MORE THAN Rec.2020 standard, is the best in a home display of any type that money can buy. It exceeds Quantum dot LED backlit LCD, and even exceeds OLED.
The color accuracy out of the box is stellar, with minimal delta-e. It's like getting a free $400 calibration by an ISF professional.
Unlike Epson's Laser TV's, this uses a true tri-color laser system. That means separate Red, Green, and Blue lasers for the purest color. Epson's product (and most other laser projectors) use only one laser, and that laser illuminates a rotating phosphor wheel to make light, and then either a motorized rotating color wheel or a series of prisms and dichroic mirrors separate this light into colors.
The tri color RGB 3 laser system gives you much better mechanical reliability and much more vivid color..
And, there is absolutely no display technology available that does 3D as well as DLP chips. There is absolutely no ghosting and you get the smoothest, most realistic film-like 3D images with DLP, because the pixels on DLP chips can change exponentially faster than LCD or other technologies.
I am a big 3D buff, and I have a 3D 4K OLED C6, 2 Mitsubishi 82" rear projection DLP TVs that I have kept specifically because of their excellent 3D performance, and both ViewSonic and Optoma 3D ceiling projectors.
This AWOL 3500 gives by far, bar none, the most awesome 3D image quality I have ever seen anywhere. You get the brightness, the vivid colors, and the smooth images. The entire package.
When paired with a cinematic lenticular ALR (ambient light rejecting) screen made specifically for UST projectors (taking advantage of the ultra short throw projection angle to reject ambient light), the image quality is miraculous in a well lit room, rivalling flat panel televisions, and in a dim room it is so astonishing it is almost hard to believe how far we've come technologically compared to just a few years ago.
Photographs cannot capture how good this projector's image quality is.
Lastly, the manufacturer AWOL provided excellent customer service. A month after I purchased my projector from a third party retailer, AWOL ran a sales promotion, and they were kind enough to retroactively give me the promo deal on a month-old purchase.
Highly recommended all around, and be sure to get a good lenticular UST ALR screen to reap all of the benefits!
