- Product Weight: 6.2 pounds (The out of box weight of the item.)
- Light Source: Lamp
- Resolution: 4K (2160p) (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to capture video/images. The higher the resolution the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- White Brightness (ISO): 4000 lumens (Measurement of the device's white light output measured in accordance with standards established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The more lumens, the brighter the output. In large and/or well-lit environments, such as auditoriums or rooms with plenty of natural light, a higher brightness improves the quality of the projected image.)

Standard throw projectors typically need to be at least 6 feet away while short throw and ultra short throw projectors can be placed closer to the screen for use in smaller rooms.)
- Portability: Fixed (Fixed projectors are ideal when creating an authentic theater atmosphere in your home. Often designed to stay in one place they may require significant recalibration if moved. Portable projectors, weighing around 5 pounds, are easy to move, but will still require set-up calibration and often have technology to reduce the complexity. Ultra-portable projectors are very light, often battery-powered, and ideal for on-the-go use.)

- Minimum Aperture: f/2.1 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/2.31 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)

Q: Why does it boast 240 Hz when it only delivers 120 Hz at 1080p and 60 Hz at 4K?
A: "Console gamers will enjoy 1080p 120Hz or 4K UHD 60Hz game play with the newest Microsoft Xbox Series X|S and Sony Playstation 5." Those refresh rates are applicable specifically to consoles. Other devices can utilize the full 240hz such as PCs, etc.
A: I can't give you an exact answer, but mine is 17' away from the screen and is 135". It's crystal clear and much better than the UHD60 I had previously.
A: I dont think it will be nice during the day. During the nigjht..maybe, but keep in mind that it will not be good as indoor with complete dark area.
Q: does this unit have an optical zoom....or is it digital zoom only?
A: There is an optical zoom. There are 2 adjustments that can be made at the lens of this projector; focus and zoom. My install has the projector approximately 10 feet from the screen. I had to dial way back on the zoom, adjust focus, then use the digital settings to further scale the image down to a 100" screen. The menu has a grid you can project to help with all these adjustments.
A: I would get that checked out. Especially if you dont have it happen while at the theaters.
Q: Is there a max length the hdmi cable should be for this projector without losing the quality.
A: Depends on the quality of the cable. I have it connected with a 60 feet cable.
Q: Can this be used with a 4:3 aspect ratio for a 12x9 screw
A: undefined

Potential but not quite sold yet
Lightweight. Good picture... i dont like the menu or operating system. I wish it was a smart projector. Or at the very least have bluetooth for sound output. Overall i have it displayed on a 110" screen and am enjoying it but not sure on a few things. The hdmi ports say 60hz, but the specs say up to 240hz at 1080 and 120hz at 4k I can get 4k at 60hz but cant seem to get any higher refresh rate. Anyone else have this issue?

Exceeding my expectations
Great projector, picture is really sharp and bright. I have it about 30’ away from my screen and the picture is great. The first picture is with the lights off in my BARn second picture is with the lights on. The pictures don’t quite do them justice but trust me the picture is good

Amazing color, beautiful image! Great projector!
What can I say, for the price point this projector is great! Colors are vibrant and beautiful. Image is clear. Gaming is also great running from a PC at 4k with all settings on high. It’s perfect for me. My studio allows me a massive image along with a very nice surround sound system, movie nights are epic!
