Beyond my expectations
Upgraded last April from a 60 inch tv to a 120" 1080p projector that cost around $250. It was traditional long throw with bulbs. It was impressive at first for my new home theater but after a little over a year I decided I needed an upgrade. I did a lot of research and settled on this Vava. Its fantastic! Super bright, immediate noticeable upgrade in image quality and watching 4k YouTube content or UHD movie are incredible. It being laser and ultra short throw was also a huge improvement. You can't even tell its a projector and not a screen. And I don't even have a proper screen yet. Easy to use and set up. It is a rather large unit so need some space to set it up. Haven't tried the 3d yet and I'm using external surround sound so can't comment on the built in speakers. Very happy and impressed with it so far. Love it!

Don't waste your money on this
This was my first short throw projector that I initially loved. The first issue I came across with this projector was when I realized the bottom left corner of the projection had a shadow that wouldn't disappear no matter how many updates and factory resets, I noticed about a month in but assumed it may have been because I didn't have an ALR screen. I eventually got an ALR screen and it still didn't fix this issue. However, it was relatively small issue so I brushed it off. Recently, I came across another issue where there is a small white dot/pixel that shows up whenever the projector is on. I've confirmed that it is not on my projector screen or on the projector lens. This issue finally led me to VAVA's customer service. Because when I purchased my projector, there was an insert that allowed me to extend the warranty by 1 year after registering the product (See attached photo). Customer service would not honor the extended warranty promotion due to the promotion ending?? even though I registered my product before the promotion ended. Something that always bothered me about the user interface of this projector, whenever adjusting the volume, a big circle with the volume level pops up in the middle of screen and is quite annoying. Don't waste your money on this product. Its buggy, the user interface is trash, and customer service is not great after all these issue, I would not suggest. Would suggest sticking with a more reputable brand like Epson. Luckily my credit card has an extended warranty benefit. Love the short throw laser projection technology but this company is cheap.

Great picture 4k projector
Great picture! The projector itself is bigger than I thought but projects a great picture! Make sure to get familiar with the formatting tools to fit the picture to the screen.

What mount kit goes with VAVA 4k?
This VAVA 4k projector is a perfect 10, on a 5 point scale. Why the 1 point on this 5 point scale? You see, I LOVE this projector in my apartment. It is stunning, to say the least. Its great on the stand, but I want to find a wall mount for it. I need the floor space for my Electric Hunting Mountain Bike. VAVA what do you recommend to mount it on the wall?

no mounting
Bought this projector to stage a theater room for a house we were selling (didn't want the hassle of mounting a projector and having to rewire) - this sound and picture blew us away! the built-in sound will surprise you and the picture actually is pretty go; we initially bought this without the specific screen and the picture was fine..but better with a screen made for short throw projectors
