Review for the new 4K SE model. This is my first and I have a feeling not last projector. After being an LG OLED addict for the past decade it was finally time to try a projector.
I paired this with a 100in projector screen (Lopbast and Elite Screens) in our bedroom where we had no room to hang a larger TV. With the auto focus and keystone correction I was able to easily get a full 100in image even with the projector very off center in the corner of my room and the image looks perfect. Was planning to mount the projector on the wall or ceiling but no need to do so.
The image quality is absolutely perfect in a dark room and has this vibrant quality to it that I don't see on my LG OLED. I was honestly blown away, I knew that projectors have drastically increased in performance (and lower cost) the past few years but this blew away my expectations.
With the blackout blinds closed during the day it is great as well. With indirect sun light and no blinds it is perfectly fine. With direct sunlight of course that is where it can't hold up to an OLED but still viewable.
The software is great with Google TV, app selection is fantastic, casting works great. All of the settings are integrated nicely with a one touch keystone/focus adjustment on the remote. Remote is super nice, light and backlit.
And finally the audio, it is better than I expected. I have a 5.4.2 setup in main theater room so I'm pretty picky. No I won't be watching Atmos action movies without a sound upgrade. But thus far after watching a few TV shows and some classic movies it is perfectly fine and really appreciated that they included such a nice set of speakers with nice bass.
I also plan to use this projector outside and in other portable locations and the speakers will be great in those scenarios. I most likely will add a Bluetooth sound bar at some point.
Overall highly impressed and I'm very happy that I've tried my first (of many) projectors!
