What are you possibly expecting as an answer? They are very different technologies.
You get a UST projector for a massive 110" or so screen. Either that, or because you don't want a big black rectangle in your living room at all times when your TV is off, and want some retractable screen for aesthetic reasons (our own case). You don't buy it to compete with an OLED TV in pure picture quality in normal conditions. It's a different use case. Even an 85" OLED TV would be like half the size you'd want to project with this. The beauty of UST is the size and scale. OLED TV's, even big ones, can't compete. Nor can UST compete with the inky blacks of OLED.
Anyone getting this - make sure you get an ALR screen, designed for UST. makes a WORLD of difference. These are NOT oled quality - but when you get a 120" image - you'll love it.
They approach a good LED screen. Most people can't tell if it's a projector or a TV.
The screen I got was from XY Screens, it came from china, and cost about $1,100 in 2019 - I do not know what the prices are today, but despite covidflation, i believe the prices are far lower today for that type of screen.
I have the Vava version of this - which is pixel shifted 4K and a color wheel, with an antiquated UI and no harmony support or any automation capable. So an upgraded device always has my eye.
Edit - mine is literally covering a 3 panel (north facing) window.
I would disagree with all three of you, depends on your situation, and use case. I watch most of my TV during the evening hours in which ambient light is already decreasing. Currently have a Optoma CinemaX D2 (prioritize gaming and 3-D), I have it positioned against a flat white wall projecting a full 120" image. Everyone whos comes to see it has been blown away, including people who own OLED TV's and the many variants. While the ALR screen will help you squeeze every bit of performance out of the projector and help with image quality its only needed if your literally in a room that has light coming in from every possible side. I also use it during the early afternoon on weekends and besides closing the blind closest to the wall, I leave the rest of the room alone and it still looks good without a screen.

People are free to set up as the like but not having a proper screen is like buying a BMW M car and putting all-season tires on it. I'm sure people will ooh because it's and M or because it's still fast, but it still won't drive like an M car without sport tires.
Reasons to use a screen:
1. Most drywall in homes is neither perfectly plum nor smooth. Those wall defects will result in distortion. People can delude themselves that their drywall is perfect but it's not, it's just the nature of the material plus most installers go for quick rather than good install.
2. There are a million shades of white paint. That will influence the colors one sees from a projector. Only a good screen has the required shade of white for the type of room the projector is in.
3. Paint and walls are generally are not designed to absorb and reflect the way a screen is designed to.

Yup, reason I got a screen. I prepped my wall by sanding it smooth and sprayed the paint on rather than using a roller. They must have used a curved 2x4 when framing the wall. When I projected the image on my wall, the top of the image was not straight and dipped down in the middle.
