No brainer, laser the way to go.
Should have bought a laser projector from the beginning, everything is just better from the colors to focus, add the fact you don’t have to deal with changing the bulb yearly it’s a no brainer. Very important to get a tension screen protector for the optimum experience.

As close to home cinema as you can get!
Bottom Line: The Epson Lifestudio Grand 4K Pro-UHD Ultra Short Throw Laser Projector delivers a near perfect cinema experience at home. Pros: simple setup and user experience; excellent picture quality; high brightness; immersive gaming experience; great audio; helpful motion detection for safety Cons: Adequate bass performance; keystone correction fixes image but not full projection space Review: We have the projector placed on our TV table, which currently has roughly a 9.6” clearance from the front of the projector to the wall. This produces a 90ish inch projection. Setup was very easy, which involved connecting to WiFi, updating the software, adjusting the keystone with the companion app, and downloading apps. I really like that there aren’t a lot of settings to fiddle with for picture and sound, which makes the user experience simpler. I was highly impressed with both the brightness and quality of the picture. Our living room has a large, bay window that faces opposite of the projection wall. Although the window does not receive direct sunlight, it does provide a lot of natural light in the room. In this context, the projector provides a bright and clearly visible picture when the room is lit, and the picture looks absolutely perfect when the room is dark. Colors are vibrant with high contrast, which looks exceptionally well with HDR movie content and games. I also found that PS5 games looked fantastic, and I found gaming to be much more immersive with the projector than on a TV or monitor. Bose is well-known for delivering fantastic audio, and the speaker system on the projector is no exception. Despite its size, the projector delivers room filling, near cinema quality sound when watching movies and TV shows. Highs and mids come across really well when listening to music in music mode, and bass/low performance is adequate for its size. Those looking for a true home cinema experience will want to connect a dedicated speaker system, but I think most people will find that the build in system meets their audio needs. The final feature that I really like is that the system detects motion, which pauses the picture when you walk by. Although I know well enough not to look directly at the laser light, we do have children in our house quite a bit and this safety feature is much appreciated. My only issue is that, while the keystone correction adjusts the shape of the projected image to appear rectangular, it doesn’t eliminate the physical distortion of the light beam itself. As a result, especially noticeable in the darkened room, you can see the corrected imaged sitting within the original trapezoidal projection.

A Bright and Crisp Projector
I was excited for this upgrade to my Ultra Short Throw Projector. I had previously been using the prior version of this product for the past few years, so part of this review will call out the differences and improvements. The first thing I noticed about the new projector is that it is sleeker, smaller, and lighter than the other. Being smaller and lighter is a good feature in a projector because it needs to sit on some kind of table, stand, or shelf. I already had a 150 inch ALR UST screen installed so I was able to setup the new projector onto that screen. Using the same table height, I wasn't able to get the new projector to fill the screen without lowering my current stand, so I had to leave an inch or two on the bottom of the screen. I could have raised the screen but didn't want to drill more holes in the wall. The nice thing about an UST projector is that you don't have any chords on the wall, and that the screen is huge. Once I got through the setup for the screen I started going through the settings. The Android TV installed on the prior projector did now allow the Netflix app but this new version did. I wasn't able to find the Paramount app initially so I wasn't using the Android TV from the projector, but a week later the app was available and now I have all 10 or so of my streaming apps working on the projector. The picture and sound are great and good on this projector. The picture is brighter and more crisp and focused than my previous projector. It is extremely clear even in bright light. The ALR screen definitely helps. I was excited about the sound from Bose, as I have never been let down by a Bose product. However, the sound is a little flat. There isn't much bass like I was expecting. And there are no sound settings to change the tone. Overall the sound is still pretty good and if you are really serious about it you could install a soundbar. Overall, this projector is smaller, brighter and better than others I've used and seen. I would recommend it.
