What are you possibly expecting as an answer? They are very different technologies.

You get a UST projector for a massive 110" or so screen. Either that, or because you don't want a big black rectangle in your living room at all times when your TV is off, and want some retractable screen for aesthetic reasons (our own case). You don't buy it to compete with an OLED TV in pure picture quality in normal conditions. It's a different use case. Even an 85" OLED TV would be like half the size you'd want to project with this. The beauty of UST is the size and scale. OLED TV's, even big ones, can't compete. Nor can UST compete with the inky blacks of OLED.
Anyone getting this - make sure you get an ALR screen, designed for UST. makes a WORLD of difference. These are NOT oled quality - but when you get a 120" image - you'll love it.

They approach a good LED screen. Most people can't tell if it's a projector or a TV.

The screen I got was from XY Screens, it came from china, and cost about $1,100 in 2019 - I do not know what the prices are today, but despite covidflation, i believe the prices are far lower today for that type of screen.

I have the Vava version of this - which is pixel shifted 4K and a color wheel, with an antiquated UI and no harmony support or any automation capable. So an upgraded device always has my eye.

Edit - mine is literally covering a 3 panel (north facing) window.
I would disagree with all three of you, depends on your situation, and use case. I watch most of my TV during the evening hours in which ambient light is already decreasing. Currently have a Optoma CinemaX D2 (prioritize gaming and 3-D), I have it positioned against a flat white wall projecting a full 120" image. Everyone whos comes to see it has been blown away, including people who own OLED TV's and the many variants. While the ALR screen will help you squeeze every bit of performance out of the projector and help with image quality its only needed if your literally in a room that has light coming in from every possible side. I also use it during the early afternoon on weekends and besides closing the blind closest to the wall, I leave the rest of the room alone and it still looks good without a screen.

You do not need an ALR screen if you have a light-controlled room. In your situation, it would be a must, but not for everyone.

You should absolutely plan to purchase an ALR screen for an UST projector. Hisense comes as a combo. Setup is a pain to get right so to minimize the halo around the screen. Costco includes professional installation- which I would recommend because it's not for the faint of heart.

I've had a Hisense UST for 3 years now and it's amazing for 100" screen- if you have the room for it. My main criteria on a domicile purchase now is where am I putting the UST... Hisense PX1-PRO

Quote from spec2 :
The reason you buy this or any other projector is because either have a room where a 85"+ screen would be awkward to install or you want a more affordable solution for something bigger than 85". Otherwise you can get an 85" TV for much less.

Keep in mind with this or any other projector you need a proper screen which will set you back another $2K+ depending on size, brand, material (will it be placed in a 100% dark room or 50% ambient light, etc.).

Also 4K projectors at this price point are not native 4K. It's pixel shifted. To get a projector with native 4K you are looking at $6K+, emphasis on the plus -- still inexpensive compared to 110"+ TVs.

Does either projector have a decent low latency game mode? That's my complaint with my current LG short throw projector

Quote from JohnMagsm :
And compared to an OLED TV?

Nothing competes with OLED. Currently there isn't anything to match the brightness and contrast that OLED offers. The downside is price. It's slowly coming down as more companies build their own.
QLED is great for brightness paired with local or full array dimming zones. But still falls short on the blacks that OLED produces.
To put true black into perspective, OLED makes it look like that particular area of your screen is turned off. Almost as if no lighting is coming through. This is evident when watching widescreen movies. The black bars at the top and bottom literally look like they are off. Not grey, not dark black, but off.

Projectors on the other hand have the ability to scale to large screens. Rear projectors are still decent today, but ultra short throw units cast better brightness and contrast. Paired with a high gain reflective screen, and you get a brilliant picture. Not cheap though.
It's also the only technology where you can still watch 3D movies, if the projector supports it.

As you can see, each tech has their pros and cons. Realistically when OLED starts making panels that are 100"+ and they aren't $30,000.
It will be difficult to imagine why you would choose a short throw projector.

Quote from JuJuCoCo :
This or Sony XW5000ES?
I was wondering the same and did some comparison and came with few of the below differences....Sony XW5000ES vs LG HU715Q one....
Below are the differences between LG vs Sony:
Pixel Shifted 4K vs Native 4K (major difference)
2500 vs 2000 lumens
Short Throw vs Long Throw (major difference - would be constraint for some people who don't have enough space to project and install)
No built-in speakers vs Built-in Speakers

A full comparison can be found on this website:
https://versus.com/en/lg-cinebeam...l-xw5000es

Personal observation:
A friend of mine got the Sony XW5000ES projector; the resolution and the picture quality were much better and stunning when compared to the VAVA projector which was a Pixel Shifted 4K projector that another friend got...the VAVA picture had lower resolution and somehow looked washed out when compared to the Sony one.

But why wouldn't you want it to look GREAT?

I've had my VAVA projector in two houses now, and in both, the ALR screen is such a big difference I can't imagine going without a screen.

One room was darker than the other - but either way the image quality w. screen is a big jump. I thought it good looked on the wall, then got a regular screen - thought it got better, then got the ALR screen - and it was night and day difference.

I disagree - I've had it in another room - even in a light controlled room - it's literally a night and day difference. But if you are strapped for cash, sure ... then again at that point, just buy a $2,000 TV and call it a day.

Light controlled room means you can make the room totally dark, so ALR screen will not be any better and a waste of money *if* you plan on watching all of your tv with the lights off.

If you plan on using lights, the more there are the more the ALR screen makes a difference.

I seen the before and after with an ALR screen and honestly I was not impressed. If the screen was like $100-$200 sure why not, but spending $500+ is ridiculous for what you get. If you have a good projector it can do without an ALR screen if you have a flat wall with no imperfections and B not flooded with ambient light. My projector has more than enough lumens to compensate for the average amount of ambient light I get in the room and it already looks great.

if you live anywhere near me, I would personally host you and change your mind. Not sure what type of screen you've seen - but might has made a significant difference. Of course I won't take it down to show you what it looks like on the wall (I don't have another wall to shine it on), but if you see the screen and aren't blown away, something is wrong.
