No one cares about the OLED after they see the projector.

Thanks, by referring to the previous comments, I realized the tri-chroma is px1's key feature. I am waiting for my room to be cleaned up and buy a px1 this year.
I want good blacks because literally every movie and TV show has a lot of dark scenes.
A UST makes a lot of sense when you have very limited mounting options, but a lot of space (to take advantage of a bigger screen). I use a UST specifically because my living room has no logical walls (too many oddly placed windows) for a decently sized TV for the space.
The 120" screen is great, but if PQ is important in what I'm watching, I'll watch it on a 55" OLED.
Overall, I tried a 4k UST projector and felt it's not worth the money compared to say 86" TV worth around $1500.
I don't even necessarily disagree with your overarching point because for the overwhelming majority of consumers, a projector is simply not a logical decision. They don't have a dedicated theater room so they have too much ambient light, they do not watch high enough quality source material to really tell the difference and the entry cost for doing a projector "right" is much higher than just getting a really nice LED TV. For 99% of people, something like the Sony X900/950 series at 85" is all you could ever need.
That said, once you invest in a good dedicated theater room, a good projector and a good fixed screen, you will never look at a LED/OLED TV the same. The entry cost for doing it right is far higher, but the resulting experience is miles better.

If you have some shades it will look amazing in a super bright room it won't look that good, you don't need full darkness
Went with Amazon for the return policy. 4 yr warranty seemed iffy when researching it.
TLDR: I would recommend at this price
Image quality has marginal increases. Going from white wall (watchable to start tbh) to screen to smoothed white wall with projector paint to alr screen all have marginal increases. I watched with the projector over an outlet for 2 weeks before my screen order came in and you can clearly see the outlet but if you're projecting ~130" you can blend it into the background. Similarly speckles on the wall make the image slightly grainy but you completely get used to that, but once upgraded going back feels bad but livable tbh. Black levels are good for what it is but not true black obviously, but not a deal breaker at all to me or anyone I've shown it to. Sound gets very loud and is much better than alot of TVs and sound bars (although I don't know if that is saying much), but can still use an upgrade.
I'll say the best way to put it is it's kind of like a recipe. You can have buns and a patty for a burger. Then you can add cheese. Then lettuce. Then tomato. Then ketchup. Then mustard. Then grilled onions. Etc etc. The more you add the more you get and the more you'll pay. Missing something is a deal breaker for some but not others. I'll say if you haven't experienced top notch stuff in a lot of these areas then you'll love this as all of it will be an upgrade.
Also in this case watching on a wall to start is a good option to see where you want to allocate money for upgrades next (light control, screen, audio, etc). Or you may find you don't like it and return it. For me at my entire wall of 130-140" with light controlled room the size brightness and color are a great experience.
The one con I'll say is UST is "plug and play" without ceiling mounts or anything but it requires ~2 feet of space away from the wall because measurements of distance away are from the back of the device and
