I used to have 5040ub, great LCD machine but still needed near total dark room to perform the best.

I can't speak on this projector, but I have a Optoma Cinemax Pro and with an ALR screen my daytime viewing is excellent. You're obviously not going to get the same quality from having an OLED, but having a large screen (100"+) is better in its own ways, each have their nuance.
Spot on, while i was building my home theater room it was a tough decision between oled 77" and 120" projector screen, especially my current setup is OLED. I went for 120" projector screen because of the real cinema experience with bigger screen and very happy with it

While it's awesome, and there's a definite wow factor… if I had to do it over again, I'd get a 98" TV as well. The TV's pic quality will be better in almost every situation. Don't get me wrong, the projector has awesome picture quality… but it just doesn't compare to a good TV.
I have an 82" Sony in my loft and a 75" in my master bedroom… I much prefer watching on either one of those vs the projector. The TVs have more "pop" in their picture.
How is laser ones for daytime viewing with drawn curtians?

"Laser ones" are the same as any other projector, if you want to view in a non completely darkened room get 3000+ lumens. This one has 3600 lumens so should look great in a room even with normal lighting. I wouldn't have the sun shining directly on the screen from a window but other than that should be fine. I read with curtains drawn part just using that as an example. 1500 lumens or less and you need a completely dark room even light up remotes can wash out the image. 1500-2500 is ok for very low lighting like a 10 watt led light that is not hitting the screen. 3000 and up is ok with regular room lighting and 5000+ is probably good outside in July but I never forked over enough to buy a 5k lumen projector. My Golf simulator projector is 4K lumens and realistically I can't tell the difference between that and a 3k lumen projector in my living room so there does seem to be diminishing returns over 3000. Also keep in mind I am talking lumens from reputable companies like Epson, Sanyo, LG, Sony ETC the random Amazon projector lumens are just lies! Ultra Short projectors like this one really need a permanent rigid screen as any tiny wrinkle in the screen will be greatly exaggerated on the projected image. The screen to use with a UST can easily cost as much as this projector! The positives about a laser is you never need to change the bulb. a regular projector if watched like a TV will need a new $400 bulb ever year maybe every other year. a Laser projector laser can last many years. They will last longer if ran in economy mode (so the 3600 lumen projector will output maybe 2000 lumens in eco) or less than advertised if ran at max output. The bad thing is when the laser goes out that projector is Ewaste! There is no fixing it!
3500 lumens will work in the daytime with all the curtains closed, except it won't work for dark scenes in that environment.
120" projector setup is no longer worth it under any circumstances now that 100 inch TVs are so cheap. I probably wouldn't go for a projector unless I could set up a 150 inch screen. Remember, the blacks from a projector are only as dark as your white screen. Which means they always suck. Grey screens don't help much either, I've tried it.
