Pros and cons

According to our projector expert

Sharp image: you can see details in movies and TV shows thanks to the Full HD resolution.
Large image up close: you can project a large image from a short distance thanks to the ultra short throw ratio.
Watch for a long time: you can use the projector for years without replacing the lamp thanks to the laser light source.
Only in dark rooms: you can see a clear projection with 900 ANSI lumens in a darkened room.
Sometimes audible: you can sometimes hear the fan in a quiet room because of the 32-decibel noise level.

Review is 9,0 out of 10.

After much hesitation, I am certainly satisfied with the cho

Very good image quality despite it not being 4K
Small and inconspicuous
Even very close to the wall the image is very large
Navigation system can be a bit slow at times

I hesitated for a long time about buying this device. But I certainly don't regret my choice. The images are very sharp and the colors are beautiful. Although this projector isn't 4K, I can hardly imagine the image being any better. Ideal for a cinematic effect at home.

Highly recommended, especially considering the significant price difference with comparable short-throw projectors.

However, there should be some clearance around it (don't place it directly against a soundbar, for example, leave 5 or 10 cm between them), otherwise it can overheat and trip.

Review is 6,5 out of 10.

Great picture, but the functionality could be much better.

Beautiful colors and sharp for 1080p
Even for a short-distance wall for a 100-inch screen
Fan keeps running in standby mode

Nice little projector. There are a few downsides (see above) that I can live with for now. The fact that the fan keeps running in standby is the biggest problem; hopefully, that will be fixed in a firmware update. The projector can be turned off completely via the remote control, but the startup time is then more than 3 minutes.
