Let me start by saying this projector blew my expectations out of the water. The 1400 ANSI lumens brightness means I can actually watch Dune with sunlight streaming through my curtains – something my old projector could never handle. Colors pop with HDR10+, and MEMC keeps fight scenes buttery smooth.

The Android OS is a game-changer. I sideloaded my favorite streaming apps in minutes, and the 32GB storage means no constant app deletions. Pro tip: Use the NFC pairing to fling content from your phone – it feels like magic when your cat videos instantly appear on a 100-inch wall.

Sound surprised me most. The built-in speakers delivered enough bass for Top Gun: Maverick's jet scenes, though I did eventually connect my soundbar via Bluetooth (which paired instantly). The fan noise? Barely noticeable over dialogue.

Setup was hilariously easy. The 6D keystone corrected my terrible ceiling mount angle, and 50% zoom saved me from rearranging furniture. HDMI worked flawlessly with my PS5 – playing Horizon Forbidden West on a 150-inch screen is an experience I'll never forget.

Two minor gripes: The remote feels cheap, and WiFi6 only matters if your router supports it. But for under $500? This projector turns any white wall into an AMC theater – minus the sticky floors.
