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.
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.

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
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.

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.

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

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