Great projector, great picture, easy to set up!
The picture of this projector is very clear and bright. I can use it with the lights on in a basement room with one full size window and that is with the lamp in Eco mode. The speaker is adequate if you have a quiet room and I am amazed how quiet the fan is. I had it running for a couple hours the other night and never once heard the fan. The menu options are plenty even the fine tuning of the colors to get the best picture. I have used a Roku, Nintendo Switch, Google Stadia on it and all look good. There is no noticeable lag while playing Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Tomb Raider, Grid (racing game), or any other games we played. The only time I can see that it's 1080p (by seeing the pixels) is on a sill menu like the Roku home menu I can see some pixels if i look closely, but that's also because the projection is about 7 feet tall. This is a great projector for the money and I would definitely recommend it as a first projector.

This is a great short throw projector
it didn't really say it but it's a short throw projector. Awesome image quality and ability to adjust the settings. There is a digital zoom but no optical.

Has some quality control issues
Okay, my cousin had this projector for months now and I was impressed of the short throw feature and HDR capabilities. I bought one for myself and the first unit I got lasted 30 minutes before the bulb overheated and blew. Returned it and got a replacement. My replacement worked okay but would drop signal in a middle of a movie at least once or twice. Not acceptable. Returning mine and going to the upgraded GT1090HDR. However, I know this product can be good since my cousin has no issues on his. HDR is pretty good although the brights and darks can lose some range of visible detail depending on the scene. highlights on HDR can become overblown and all you see is white and then dark areas can get a bit too dark to see any detail. I played God of War on my PS4 and at the beginning where the scene takes me into a dark shed, it got a little too dark that It was uncomfortable to see any details. These moments are rare but for most of the experience, this thing is really beautiful. My daughter loves Bluey in Disney plus and cartoon characters are very vivid on a 110 inch screen. Another gripe is if you switch to HDR and non-HDR content it does some loading and calculations and leaves you looking at a blank screen close to a minute long sometimes. And if you switch from HDR to Non-HDR often, sometimes the projector forgets to decode it making your non-HDR content looking extra washed out. It can be remedied by stepping out of the source input and coming back to it again, or sometimes a full reboot of the system. Getting the unit to support a 5.1 surround system is also tricky as it does not support HDMI ARC or has an optical out. The way I went with it is having all my connections connect to my 5.1 Reciever first and having the Projector as the end of all connections. Aside from my unit losing connectivity at times, all these negatives are little and when this Projector works right, it really excels especially given its price point. Maybe I just got unlucky getting 2 defective units. But I'm not risking a third.

Nice Projector
Very good picture quality for a projector. Used it for my theater with a 100ft screen and looked great.

Excellent Picture Quality, Short throw Projector
Great Product! Short Throw projector was my dream to setup a home theatre in my study room. Projection is great and I could project 150 inches from a short distance. Overall this is a great buy
