First off, the brightness is insane. I tested it midday with sunlight flooding my living room, and the image stayed crisp—no washed-out colors like my old projector. Watched Dune with the blinds open, and the sand dunes still looked vividly orange.
The auto-keystone is witchcraft. I tossed it on a wobbly coffee table, and within seconds it straightened the image like it was ceiling-mounted. Even my cat bumping into it mid-movie only caused a 2-second correction blip.
Gaming on this is next-level. Played God of War Ragnarök at 150", and the 3D-TOF sensor kept everything razor-sharp during frantic axe throws. Noticed zero input lag—my K/D ratio actually improved (might be placebo, but I'll take it).
Sound surprised me most. The built-in 20W speakers handled Interstellar's docking scene with clear dialogue and punchy bass. Still added a soundbar later, but for impromptu movie nights? More than enough.
Pro tip: The 360° gimbal lets you project onto ceilings while lying in bed. Falling asleep under starry night sky projections > counting sheep.
