Could this be the best projector for gamers?
Excellent black depth ; Great gaming feature ; Strong, bright picture
Image is flat ; No motion processing ; Obvious contrast adjustments
Great features for gamers, but there are more capable projectors for home movie night

I bought this just before Christmas 2020, it was a massive upgrade to my previous 720p projector. I have a home cinema setup that's dark, so I am running the projector in low brightness and eco-mode. The image quality is astonishing, better than going...

Experience of projector - beaut. Physical setup was easy, cable management a little trickier; one of the ports is HDMI 1.4, one is 2.0 - both are technically 4K capable, but the former only at 30hz, which is a little juddery, but, especially given I...

Great picture, worked well with Virgin TV box which didn't work with my old Optoma 141x projector. Much quieter than the old one 2 . Super fast delivery but still waiting for guarantee paperwork :-)
