There are a few bad reviews for this unit unfortunately in other languages. Unit from 2019, website says discontinued in 2022, 1,000 ansi lumens but description says 2,300 lumens. Should arrive Friday so I'll let you guys know how it all works out

Do share your feedback once you receive it.
BTW, 1000 ANSI Lumens = 2400 LED Lumens

Did you receive the projector? Could you share your feedback or review….Thanks!
I am projecting on a light grey wall about 20 inches from it for a 120 inch screen so not the best (max throw online says 0.66m(25 inches) away for 100 inch screen but it comes with a card that shows a 120 inch screen at 20 inches which goes under the projector 3 inches)
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

Thanks. I snagged one too but it said temporarily out of stock so we will see when it arrives. Keep me posted on how you like it!

thank you! Quick question - why is "Auto shut off enabled by default" a con?
I have a much brighter (x3, on paper anyway) Optoma D2 and it was also struggling with indirect daylight. I got a UST ALR screen (one of the vividstorms) and it's night and day. The screen can really make a profound difference in the way the structure of the ridges (оr fresnel structure, if you go for an even fancier kind) reflects UST pj's light at you while reducing the reflections of light coming from the top and (less so) sides. The screen is darkish gray, so while it initially seems to be a tad less bright, it's actually not by much, while the contrast also skyrockets - even though it all seems counterintuitive.
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.

any additional feedback on the picture quality? did you notice any RBE issues?

I have not noticed any RBE issues. I used it extensively today with a PS5 and while the indirect sunlight washed out the color a bit I was still able to have an enjoyable experience. I did find out my 4k firestick was an issue as the display settings was not set to 4k(on the firestick settings) but once that was fixed it was crisp.
