I bought the 100" L5F from Buydig last year. It has been an interesting purchase. My primary TV is a 77" OLED so keep that in mind.

-The screen came damaged. Unrolling the screen is one of the last parts of the installation process, so I didn't realize it until late. Unfortunately I had to wrap it all back up and send it back, but after some back and forth emails and phone calls I did get a new screen. The new package was almost damaged the same way (shipping of these things seems brutal). INSPECT THE SCREEN WHEN YOU RECEIVE IT!

-Installation sucks. Like it really does. There's an app that's supposed to help calibrate everything, but it failed every time I used it on android and iOS devices. If the screen is on a white wall, like mine, any light bleed will be extremely noticeable. Fine adjustments are HARD. Free installation on this deal is clutch.

-I am particular about the height of the screen (I don't want it to be too high / neck strain). So I wanted the projector lower. I didn't have any stand at home that was that low, and buying one didn't seem a great option for me. I actually ended up building one since the projector needs to be off the wall an awkward amount, so I built kind of a cantilever-type thing that's relatively low to the ground. I assume most people wouldn't do this.

-The colors are nowhere near what you'll get with even a bad TV. I have the thing set to vivid. The picture is often blocky/pixelated when it would be crystal clear on an OLED. Colors are absolutely washed out with not very much contrast. I'm one to notice these things. The wife doesn't.

With all that being said, the extra size of the screen is still awesome and we use it as much or more than the OLED. But as soon as those 98"-100" TVs come down to ~$5K, I'm buying one of those instead because I'm certain it will be miles better in terms of picture and setup.

True. I was thinking 4 hours a day.
To answer your other question. The difference between both is that one is single laser source and l9 is tripple laser, which produces wider range of colors, higher lumens.

Pricey for a hisense.
Not sure where this comment is coming from unless you just don't know much about the brands that are active in the UST laser projector market. Hisense actually makes some great value UST laser projector bundles for the price.

wonder how close can i get this to the projector to achieve the 100" or 120" viewing. Would be great if i can put this on my entertainment stand and project right on the projector. this way i don't have to deal with mounting anything.

The quick basics not really for gamers unless you are good with 60Hz cause it down scales everything to 60Hz and keeps the input lag around 35-40 milliseconds. Also another bad is black levels are not that good even with the screen. On the flip side colors are very good and pop but some calibration might be necessary. Finally no 3-D on any these models, so for people like me a pass.

Is 3D TV still a thing anymore? I thought they went extinct before curved TVs.

TV's yes, projectors NO! Watching at home 3-D is amazing and plenty of new movies still coming out in 3-D so the format not going anywhere especially since in theaters some places charge a extra $2-$3 for it so its pure profit for them.

Short answer long answer... You will need the ALR screen to get the full effect and beautiful picture from ultra short throw projector. Without the ALR screen you will not get good picture and your wasting your time and money

Theaters will never be the same. I give it another 5 years.

You would be incorrect, unless the format changes to a different variation of 3-D. Right now all the highest selling movies in China are 3-D and its not even close, since they command the market 3-D will continue to be made.

If you use the projector 8 hours a day. 25k hours equals 8.5 years of life. I don't know if I'd be even alive by then. 😂
I'm nearing the EOL on my 3rd bulb in a W1070 running in ECO mode, over 15,000 hours. I got the projector in 2013 and it was my only PC display until 2019. Had it fired up last night, it still rocks.

What are the major differences between l5 and l9 short throw projectors? After 25l hours do you replace the laser or just buy a whole new unit? Obsolete then?
L5 uses single laser with color wheel, while L9 has triple laser. Hence L9 has a wider color gamut. I have the L9 and I'm very happy with it. It is bright and sharp and shows great colors. It works great as an all purpose TV for kids programs, general viewing, gaming, and movies. There may have been a couple of times a month when I've wished the black levels were better for some specific movie scenes, but I'm not bothered by it for most of the time. If you only care about movies (especially ones with slow dark scenes) you might want to look at something not as bright but with better dark levels. For most kids movies it is a non-issue.

So many UST projector posts lately. As asked by someone else earlier, can anyone compare the picture quality of the $2K Wemax UST vs. the $2.7K Hisense one here.

I just picked up a 77" LG OLED recently for my great room. Not sure if something like this would even work well in a brighter room like that. Seems you need a true theater room to take full advantage of this.

Another question, does anyone know if Best Buy/Magnolia have any UST for demo in their stores? I would really like to see it in person vs. a Youtube video.

The minimalist look is badass.

Thank you.

No, it will not work in your room, even with an alr screen. I have full light control of my living room and that's where it works well.

The brightness on this would be equivalent to a lower end lcd. My 120l5f probably is around the same brightness as my h6510. The UST doesn't hold a candle to pq and brightness to my h9g.

But the immersion and scale is just next level on the UST. You really have to decide if you want pq/brightness or size. You can't compare a 77 inch OLED to a 120 inch projector. If you want pq/brightness/size, you will be spending a large amount currently.
