Wow !!!
I just purchased my Ultra Short Throw Triple Laser Projector LTV-3500 with the 100inch Awol screen. Let me tell you guys it blew my mind and I really recommend it. The fire stick that comes with it works perfectly. The chrome cast works excellent and with the 3D system I felt like I was in the movie theater. I have it in my living room and there’s no problem with the daylight. I really think this is the future of TVs. Plus, I called the Awol company to ask a couple of questions before and after purchasing the product from Best Buy and Steve had excellent responses and customer service. Well done guys great product!

The real deal, awesome color, brightness and 3D!
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!

The Best UST in the market by FAR.
Having owned three UST projectors over the past few years including the Epson LS800 and the Formovie Theater, I cannot overstate enough how much better the AWOL 3500 is and how far USTs have come in such a short time in general! Biggest Pros: Brightness. I can watch this ALL day long, even with the harsh lighting of my studio/game room. This is truly the only projector I can honestly say that is the case for. No light modifications needed here. Other projectors I have owned were great at night but absolutely unusable during the day. Obviously in a pitch black room this thing shines, but I love the freedom of not having to do that in the middle of the day to play some games. Speaking of games…. Another pro is gaming. PC, Switch, and PS5 look stunning on this. Input lag is essentially nonexistent and the gaming mode function is flawless in execution. I’ve had projectors before where latency forced me to simply not attempt any serious gaming on a projector before. Not the case here at all. 3D has completely blown me away and has given me a reason to invest in a library of 3D titles again (been years since I had a set capable!) . I highly suggest you invest in decent 3D Glasses (XPAND is my go-to). I didn’t realize what I missed till I had it back. Cons: Hate to say it but really none. Setup was easy. Throw distance is more than reasonable for my 150 inch setup. No complaints here, just a happy few weeks of larger than life content. Hopefully my pictures showcase how good this thing is in light and dark alike, even up close on a 150 inch screen!

The Best UST Projector. PERIOD.
I recently made my smartest A/V purchase to date when I ordered the AWOL Vision LTV-3500. This thing is truly a marvel of engineering. Lights on, or lights off the LTV-3500 delivers in clarity, brightness, color, and contrast. It also has great built in sound, though I'd recommended a 5.1 surround with Dolby Atmos for a true theater experience. From sports, movies, to games.. this projector handles it all with ease. Become famous among family and friends with this absolute show stopper. I had previously owned the Vava 4k (another DLP UST) for about 2 years and was satisfied overall, until I experienced the AWOL Vision LTV-3500. This beast is a true TV replacement.. though it doesn't hit OLED blacks in ambient light, the image looks magnificent in a darkened room. Overall I am super satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone in the market for a very large and stunning TV replacement. #MyAWOLVisionLTV3500

Best. UST. Ever.
This is my 3rd UST projector. With my previous projectors I was always missing some elements, like color depth, brightness in daylight viewing, low input lag for gaming and dolby vision. The AWOL LTV-3500 projector brings it all together. This is our everyday television so we needed something that could be viewed during a Sat morning movie or an afternoon Football game, when the sun was shining through our windows. You will not find a brighter projector on the market. It has very low input lag and gaming with both the Switch and Playstation are amazing immersive experiences. The colors with 4K HDR out of the box are perfect, I haven't had to adjust them at all; plus the future Dolby Vision update should make the picture pop even more. I'm super happy with it. #MyAWOLVisionLTV3500
