One long form review listed these:
Cons
Wide Gamut and Low Lag features tied to specific HDMI ports
Out of the box accuracy not the best
Underwhelming streaming apps
Remote responsiveness
Also another claimed Only one of the inputs had the low lag feature

Have a UHD30. Love it. But I can't imagine using the built-in streaming apps on an Optoma projector. Their software and UX is not great. You're paying budget price for a stripped down 4k (pixel shift) projector with good gaming and decent movie performance, that will need some mitigation of light sources (do not trust any manufacturer's contrast specs). This projector is roughly equivalent to the UHD3x line, with the exception of a slightly different zoom range and lens shift (optical keystone correction -- never, ever use digital).

Projector Central is the gold standard for projector reviews: https://www.projectorcentral.com/...eview.htm. You can also check out throw distances there to figure out your installation needs.
