Please go easy on me as it's my first deal post. I was looking at purchasing this projector. This is the cheapest I've seen by a few hundred dollars compared to everyone else. Has good reviews everywhere as well along with no mention of rainbow effects you see on most single laser projectors.

Some of them are just people who don't know how to use a ultra short throw projector. One guy said projector sucks but was projecting on a wall and not a screen. Check out the reviews on projector central and projector screen reviews

It will look fine, but the challenge is mounting it perfectly so you don't have to use keystone correction. It's difficult enough siting on a console. You need to find a ceiling mount that has precise adjustability in all three axis. You'll need to flip the ALR screen also since UST ALR screens are designed to reject light from above. Plus you need to run wires down from the ceiling which defeats one of the advantages of a UST.

TL;DR It's doable but requires a lot of work. If your room allows for it go with a short throw (non-ultra) or standard throw.

This hasn't been funny in 10 years. Time to let it die.

Not sure if its a dumb question. Is it good for a gaming screen? Say I connect to Xbox? I see someone said not great for gaming. If anyone has frist hand expriernce. Appreciate it!

The input lag is why they said it is not good for gaming. A reputable reviewer tested it at 54ms, which is really high if you want to play competitive games. Even on non-competitive games, it can cause issues. I have been looking at the benq x3000i for a projector. I'm not in need of the ultra short throw projector, so a more traditional one works for me. This projector offers something like like 16ms at 4k resolution and 4ms at 1080p. There are also cheaper gaming projectors that use 4k "pixel-shift." It's a form of upscaling to make 1080p project at a 4k resolution to reduce pixelation. It is not as crisp as native 4k but they are worth looking into.

I bought a projector and regret a bit. It depends on the type of the game. If it's a game where FPS matters then no. For me, the main problem is the sheer screen size. While gaming on 100~120" sounds really awesome, it's very tiresome for your eyes. I get tired really quickly and sometimes even feel motion sickness. What I ended up as best gaming setup is to game on 48" OLED TV. Much easier on the eyes and smooth 120hz can't be beat on any projector.

Question.
Was this original post updated?

Just curious on how the deal posts work.

Wasn't this same post linking to Amazon a week ago ? At a $1799 price ?

I searched on the app and this is the only post that comes up from the past few weeks for ( HU715QW )

Thanks

I received this yesterday

I watched 2 4k movies from hbomax and prime with my wireless roku ultra and noticed random black screens for less than a second that I've never seen on my tvs. I rewound and verified it was not the video

Then watched 1 movie at 1080 ( local plex movie ) using my other roku and a different 4k hdmi cable and again saw random black screens for less than 1 second. I rewound the video to verify it wasn't the local video

I'm going to contact LG Monday.

I received my unit yesterday. I also tested a few 4k movies. One from my own plex library and the other from Netflix. Both videos streamed over wifi. Not a single issue. Playback was flawless and the picture quality is amazing. I'm actually impressed with the built in audio.

This is a great projector. Gamers, please note the lag at about 50ms, which is decent, but could be an issue if gaming is a high priority

This one also checks many boxes for me but I'm not doing it because its an LG. I recently had a $1300 38" LG Ultragear monitor go bad on me at just 2 years old. LG only offers a 1 year warrantee with no exceptions...so now its a dead paperweight. If this projector had a 3 year warrantee like the Benq, then I'd be all over it. The price fluctuates by $100 on and off all the time on Amazon. Don't forget to factor in an ALR screen which will be over $600 depending on size. I've been considering a benq i3000x instead. Just can't decide if its worth $2k or to spend more on UST.

I understand that that's a bummer with your monitor, but what do you expect 1 year outside of warranty?

I've been looking for a projector for a few months. This seems to fit the criteria of cost and specs I've been looking for. Great deal at $1,800 for a projector that came out 1 year ago with features some others don't have.

I may hang this on the ceiling, anyone have experience how short throws look/work on the ceiling compared to floor?

They work the exact same, it's just an option to invert the image. Mounting can be harder because you can't just move it around on a media cabinet.

I game on 120" exclusively. Screen size doesn't matter in isolation, you need to consider viewing distance. 12-15' away on 120" is a great gaming experience.

Dolby has published specs on optimal seating position but the tl;dr is that you should be far away that you don't have to refocus your eyes to take in different areas of the screen.

to be completely honest, I couldn't notice a big difference between this and my 200$ model I've had for years. it felt like going from 4k to 8k, my eyes just couldn't notice the improvement

Question:
Can these ones be used on a 150 inch screen?
I know it's rated for 120, but trying to replace a projector that I have been using on a 150

I have a 1080p benq projector from couple years ago. Are 4k projectors a big upgrade over 1080p
I can appreciate the 4k tv but it has hdr/DV which are probably more important than additional pixels

I have a 4K EPSON ceiling mount, so not planning to buy this, but my question is how would experience watching it in the Home theater in the dark, when the projecting beam is right in front of you all the time, also, that beam wouldn't be annoying when it is constantly changing colors and all.
You don't see a projected beam in the ceiling mount long throw projector.
