Pros:
The sound bar is pretty great
Setup is easy
Ports are in the back so you can make it look nice (one on the side)
Remote lights up when lifted
4K looks great in a semi dark to dark room
Speaker has Bluetooth (pair as just speaker for music, pair with other speakers for group or pair with a headset)
Cons:
In a well lit room it gets washed out
No lens cover
Remote is line of sight instead of bluetooth
Indirect sunlight overpowers the viewing ability
Not as bright as I would have liked it to be
Auto shut off enabled by default
I will be testing it more towards the weekend such as setting it at 25 inches(checking other distances too for clarity) to see the impact of light along with actual daylight tests rather than me getting home after 5pm and it getting dark already.
Update 1/7/24: Some issues have occurred such as the audio not working properly or on screen lights being discolored/blurry which required a quick projector restart to fix. I adjusted my room lighting which has helped preserve the picture drastically however at certain times of the day the part of the wall that gets the natural light makes viewing if a dark scene plays nearly impossible. The remote needs line of sight with the projector's IR bar which can be a pain when you're used to the 4k Firestick remote. The Firestick CAN control the volume and turn the projector off/on but the setting is hidden in Change TV options on the FireStick

A 120" UST ALR screen may be cost prohibitive though, it had been for me for 2 years. However, if you're willing to compromise size and look around at sales - it could be a very worthwhile investment. The sucky part - it takes up wall space, so it looks like you have a giant screen rather than just a gray or off white wall.
