Let me start by saying, this projector blew my expectations out of the water. The moment I unboxed the Kogata GC357, I could tell this wasn't your average budget projector - it's a proper home theater replacement.
The Netflix certification is a game-changer. No more fiddling with Firesticks or Chromecasts - I was streaming The Crown in glorious Dolby Vision within minutes of setup. The built-in apps work flawlessly, though I did need to sideload a few niche streaming services.
Picture quality is where this truly shines. That MTK9660 chipset delivers shockingly crisp 4K images with perfect HDR10+ rendering. Watching Dune, I could see every grain of sand and fabric texture. The auto-focus and 6D keystone correction work magically - even when I accidentally bumped the table, it readjusted instantly.
The sound performance is decent for built-in speakers (better than most projectors), but as an audiophile, I paired it with my Sonos system via Bluetooth. Wi-Fi 6 ensures buttery smooth streaming - zero buffering during 4K football games.
Setup was ridiculously easy compared to my old projector. The automatic screen alignment saved me at least 30 minutes of manual tweaking. My only gripe? The remote feels a bit cheap for such a premium device.
After two months of weekly movie nights and occasional gaming sessions (yes, it handles Xbox Series X beautifully), this has become the centerpiece of my entertainment setup. For the price, nothing comes close to its feature set and performance.
