Hisense makes a ton of products. They probably collect the same amount of data as any other major electronics manufacturer. I'm not aware of any major campaigns or calls to action against any of their products, policies, or data storage that would make me stay away. As far as reliability, yes, as a major household brand name, I would expect far better quality and reliability out of a Hisense product than a brand like AWOL who is not a major or respected brand name competitor in the field of projectors and electronics.
While this is true of standard and short throw projectors, many UST models have opted to either have a set size or a limited range of sized images they can accommodate. This is because the projector is so close to the wall, to be able to get the uniform focus and clarity needed, they had to be very specific in how it is calibrated which, in turn, limits the variability. Honestly, I still use a long throw projector in my theater and they will continue to be far easier to calibrate for the time being but I don't see the specific sizing as a huge downside of a UST either. The vast majority of the population still use TVs and are perfectly fine with that TV not being able to change size. A laser UST is a projector but still a very different animal in terms of how it needs to be implemented to look its best.
This Hisense will be much better from a much more reputable brand. Hisense is Chinese state owned so it isn't going anywhere anytime soon and they have been one of the more prominent brands when it comes to expanding UST offerings at great prices

But are they actually reliable? Privacy issues and all...

Thanks. I would like to know how it is better with respect to specs and the quality of the videos and games.
If anyone have this device already please share your experience. TIA

Anyone know the type of screen this has? I know they make a daylight and a cinema screen and I'm not sure which one it is. Thanks
Edit: Comes with daylight screen. Projector seems the same as the l9g but with lower brightness.

Why do they call it a 100" projector even when it's not paired with a screen? I've had home theater projectors for 20+ years, regular throw, short throw, and UST, and the projection size is always adjustable by how far back you set the projector from the wall.
I'm new to all this ALR screen stuff. I have an old projector mounted to the ceiling with a pull-down screen. How come all the ALR screens I've seen are fixed?

This particular model is fixed throw - it can only be placed to project a 100" image
I'm new to UST projectors and still deciding on a new TV. Paired with a decent ALR screen in a dark room, how would the image quality from something like this compare with a low-end or mid-range TV, say the TCL 4 series or 6 series?

EDIT: I see it is paired with a screen after all. this is a solid deal considering what a good ALR screen at this size would cost to buy separately
If anyone have this device already please share your experience. TIA
