Know before you buy
No, this projector does not include a built-in smart operating system. You will need to connect an external streaming device, such as an Apple TV, Roku, or gaming console, via the HDMI 2.1 ports to access your favorite apps.
With 5,000 ANSI Lumens, this projector is exceptionally bright and performs well in rooms with controlled ambient light. While it is best suited for a dedicated dark home theater, its high output allows for a clear, vibrant image even in moderately lit living spaces.
Yes, it is well-equipped for gaming. It supports a 240Hz refresh rate and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), which helps reduce input lag and provides a smoother, more responsive experience for fast-paced titles.
The dual laser light source provides superior color accuracy and brightness consistency compared to traditional lamp-based projectors. It also offers a significantly longer lifespan of up to 30,000 hours, meaning you won't need to worry about replacing bulbs for many years.
Installation is quite flexible thanks to the 1.6x optical zoom and lens shift capabilities. Additionally, the projector features automatic vertical and horizontal keystone correction and four-corner adjustment, making it easier to square up the image if you cannot place the projector perfectly centered in front of the screen.
Yes, the projector includes eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) support. This allows you to send high-quality, uncompressed audio signals directly from the projector to a compatible soundbar or AV receiver using a single HDMI cable.
