Let me tell you, this Alvar projector has completely transformed my backyard into a personal cinema. The first time I fired it up for a daytime BBQ, I was shocked - we could actually see Thanos snapping his fingers clearly despite the sunlight! The 1200 ANSI lumens aren't just marketing talk.

The auto-focus is like magic, though I did notice it occasionally needs tiny manual tweaks (takes literally 2 seconds with the remote). What blew me away was the sound - those 30W Dolby speakers made my friend ask if I'd hidden surround sound speakers in the bushes! For serious movie nights I still hook up my soundbar, but for casual sports viewing? The built-in audio is more than enough.

Setup was a breeze with WiFi 6 - streamed Stranger Things in 4K without a single buffer. Though fair warning: Disney+ didn't work properly via their app store (my $20 Roku stick solved that instantly). The lack of lens cover surprised me, but at this price point with these features? I'll happily buy a $5 protector.

After three months of weekly movie nights, here's my verdict: if you want theater-quality visuals that work in daylight and sound good enough to skip external speakers most times, this projector delivers way beyond its price tag. Just keep your expectations realistic about the '4K' claim (it's downscaled) and you'll be as happy as I am with this purchase.
