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

I also have the P1 version of this with a 120 inch clr screen. I don't have any complaints about the hardware. But the software sucks. The Smartfit to auto fit the screen is unusable. The built in os and apps are subpar. But once you manually set up and hookup a Nvidia Shield or Apple TV, it is smooth sailing.
For those asking about screens, I went with a clr screen from Elite Screens and am very pleased. Added another $1200 to the overall cost. I didn't trust anything I could find cheaper and think the more expensive options are overkill for this projector. ALR/CLR screen is not a must if in light controlled room, but it makes a big difference if you want to watch in brighter rooms - main reason I got one was because I like to watch sports with this projector and would rather not sit with lights out and curtains drawn all of the time. For light controlled rooms, you can get a decent screen for much less. I used a $50 portable screen before I saved up for the ALR. Worked perfectly, but would wash out in brighter conditions.
One final thing to consider. USTs are still fairly niche and therefore there isn't a lot of options out there for furniture, especially if you combine with a surround sound system center speaker. A center speaker can be placed behind the projector at a higher elevation, but to do so you'll require one of the following:
-UST specific furniture ($$$$)
-custom build furniture
-multiple pieces of furniture
-projector on the floor
I use a taller, shallow stand against the wall for my center and a shorter stand for my avr and projector. It works great and looks fine, but it was far from an "out of the box" solution.
Screen is good, but not perfect. Customer service is good though. When I was shopping, they usually have deals and coupons around holidays. Though if you were planning on making a purchase soon, they're based in China and China's holiday is coming up where they shutdown for a week. Just FYI.
Your question is a bit weird though - I imagine people aren't actively building their 4k library with no means to play it before hand. Why pay extra for 4k content if you can't take advantage of it?
Streaming is definitely going to be the fastest way to experience 4k content at first.

I use a taller, shallow stand against the wall for my center and a shorter stand for my avr and projector. It works great and looks fine, but it was far from an "out of the box" solution.
However, I learned a couple of lessons along the way and ended up returning both:
- Without a dedicated HT room with total light control, doing projectors as regular TV watching during day time is tough. There are quite a few compromises and solving them takes time and money. USTs come closer than regular ones, but cost even more. The OLED does well there for that use case.
- I have ended up using my OLED for daytime watching and use the projector for movie/TV watching at night (that whole wall immersive experience is unparalleled - you simply cannot replicate it with a smaller TV).
- I ended up projecting directly on a painted wall (I will upgrade it to better paint soon) with a front projector. At slightly bigger than 150" it is quite immersive and enjoyable at night.
This is all specific to my setup and preferences and you may have different choices based on your setup and preferences.
- I found the UST to be great for not requiring a long HDMI cable or an extra mount on the ceiling (I have vaulted ones). However, beyond the projector price, you have to add $1500-$2000 for a ALR/CLR screen if you want an experience that does justice to the money you have spent. So, realistically it is $4,000-$6,000 for any UST setup.
- Front projecting ones have their own challenges and are sensitive to positioning. The laser ones are quite expensive too. But you could set one up at $1200-$2000 (try Viewsonic, BenQ, EPSON on sale). A really good one like EPSON 5050ube could be done in about $3,000 with screen and mount if you can find the deals.
- I don't care about either the audio from the projector or its built in apps (IMHO, one should not). I use my HT and have all the TV sticks/boxes to use with the TV/projector. The sticks are cheap compared to the price of the TV/projector.
- I had my eye on this P2 as a future purchase until the VAVA Chroma came along at $2800 for the projector+screen (initial indiegogo campaign, not an option now). Will see how that works out in the coming months.

To be fair, you are talking about a 5-6k king of black level projector in this price range, not a 3k projector or this ust projector
I want good blacks because literally every movie and TV show has a lot of dark scenes.
It really depends on what you prioritize and how close you are sitting. I have a dedicated home theater with a 120 screen, Sony native 4k projector and I have an LG 2018 65" oled in a guest bedroom. As good as the projector setup is, when there's only 2 of us watching, we all prefer the guest bedroom. Obviously if 4 of us are watching, we can't all fit in the guest bedroom. No way any projector in your price range will hold a candle to oled pq especially since you specifically mention black levels. But if you think you value size over the best pq and black level, then obviously projector is the way to go. It's really not a fair comparison. It's like asking if I should get a minivan or a Porsche 911. Well if you have to transport 4+ people, the answer is easy.
i would prefer this to project to my wall, instead of the TV

Hi, thanks for the input. A quick question though- based on my research i did not come across a ALR screen that is acoustically transparent. Wondering how you managed to make it work. It would be a great help to me if there is an option of ALR and AT.
Something else to consider though is the screen projector route will likely be much more of an undertaking. You can use the speakers present in these small projectors, but you'll likely need a receiver, and surround speakers to go with it, not to mention the screen and other accessories. The TV is more of a "one and done" deal.
