The key is having a light-controlled room (mine is in a basement room with no windows), paying attention to calibration (I leveraged recommended settings from AVSForum), and having a good source (I mainly watch 4k blu rays from a Panasonic 4k blu ray player).

Projectors mid to high end projectors do not make sense if not 130"+ now, and the problem is most projectors are not nearly bright enough for a good 150" image anyway.
The problem the big TVs have is sound. If you use a separate center channel, it will either be too low or too high relative to the screen in many people's opinions.
I went with an acoustically transparent projector screen and in-wall speakers. Having high quality sound come out of the actual screen is highly immersive.

10.00% larger diagonal
21.00% larger area
21% is not a large drop to this....person.

The Hisense 100U76N has been offered for well under the price of this projector, under $2k. The 100U76N is rated at 800 nits, 320% brighter. This is underplaying the brightness too, as contrast will be higher on the direct view panel.
Skip up to the Hisense 100U8K and you get quite a few more dimming zones and 1500 nits, 600% brighter than the projector, which allows a true HDR experience. This has been priced at $2800, a modest increase for the level of performance compared to this projector.
HDR is a marketing gimmick on the projectors, there is not enough brightness for the dynamic range. Not to mention that most projectors, including this one, are not really a full 4k image.

Size is only one factor, and when you are looking at a comparatively washed out dim image a TV that is "almost" as big easily wins. I would trade away the 20% larger size, for 600% brighter image and HDR any day. Also, I would put money on waiting another couple years and buying a 115" TV for around the same price as these 100" units, ~$3k or so.
Do not get me wrong, projectors are still stuck for some applications. I have a 150" screen in my media room myself, and a 100" TV is not quite enough to make me switch. The upcoming ~115" TVs will be close, and the fabs are coming up for ~130" TVs which will definitely make me switch if the price is within limits.
