Phenomenal - exceeded expectations
Absolutely phenomenal picture quality and brightness! Far exceeded my expectations. I'm rear projecting on a 21-foot inflatable screen on my pool deck. Even with bright flood lights on, the picture remains very clear and able to cut through the ambient light. Great short throw and fills screen perfectly. If I had to complain about anything, it's a little challenging to keystone the image just right. Even the slightest adjustment physically has a huge effect. Also, shipping took almost 4 weeks! I did a ton of research before choosing this. You won't be disappointed with this projector.

Bright Projector!
This is an exceptionally bright Projector due to it laser light source. It also turns on from a cold start much faster than traditional lamp models. Setup can take some time given the short throw design, as very small placement adjustments make for large changes in the image. You need to get the projector in the EXACT right spot exactly perpendicular to the screen for optimal results. Also, a permanent screen will result in a better picture than a portable screen like mine, as small imperfections with respect to flatness will show up as distortions like waviness. Overall, I'm really happy with the purchase.

Great Outdoor inflatable screen projector
Amazing projection . We use it outdoors with a 25 ft inflatable screen it’s amazing . The pathing it doesn’t have is the build in streaming besides that it’s perfect.

Best for the value!
I got this after some hiccups of owning the step down model: the GT1080HDR. So my review would heavily mention the differences of the two. So far, I can say that this is definitely an upgrade! Contrast is better and pictures pop out more! This thing is definitely bright and does not require every light source turned off to reach its picture quality potentials! I have this on my living room adjacent to the kitchen, and even when the kitchen is at its brightest, this projector is still making vivid pictures on my 110" projector screen! The short throw is another feature I love. It only takes about close to 4 ft to make a beautiful 110" image. The projector also has auto keystoning, which is not perfect but almost nearly there that you don't have too much left. This thing also supports 3D! all you need is DLP active 3D glasses! I got 4 pairs of glasses from amazon for about 30 bucks. I still have a collection of 3D blu-rays and I enjoy reliving them on a biga$$ screen! This thing has speakers, but don't rely on them. Kinda defeats having a big screen but listening to small mediocre sound. the speakers are not bad but they aren't immersive either. they sound rattley and tinny. The projector has no ARC support or optical out, so if you like a surround sound experience, better find a work-around. I managed to have all my video connections to my receiver, then connected to this projector. overall Im very happy with this purchase as its a huge step up experience to my entertainment center! Im glad i got this than the usual TV upgrade.Now I have a personal movie theatre! that's awesome!

Superb performer
Excellent performance with very bright output (4200 lumens)—and very lightweight so it’s good for traveling. Just 2 concerns: since this has a short-throw lens, it does not have a lens cap. Keep the lens protector that comes in the shipping box—that’s all you have to protect the lens with. Also, short-throw lenses do not perform well on portable screens that are not absolutely flat. I had to return 2 portable screens because their surface was wavy. Ironically I found that a cheap screen on eBay did the best job!
