AWOL VISION LTV-2500 4K UHD Ultra Short Throw Triple Projector 4K 150", 3D, 2600 Peak Lumen, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos, UST Laser TV Projector (Fire TV Stick 4K Max included)

After way too much research time, I decided upon this UST 4K 3-D ready projector. With Amazon's relatively generous return policy, I don't feel that I'm making a mistake since I have a good amount of time to check it out thoroughly, before deciding on keeping it forever. It's a big ticket item for me, I never planned on spending 2,000 plus on a projector, but I've enjoyed my Epson 3700 FHD long throw projector so much over the last 6 years or so, that I found the motivation to upgrade the experience to a longer lasting and potentially much improved image while enjoying all the streaming offered today as well as my growing collection on 3-D FHD movies. I just wish that content creators made 4K 3-D movies, but as I have found out the max resolution for 3-D is still the full hi-definition blu-ray format. This is easily the best viewing experience I've seen for 3-D, so it does seen like a real boost in resolution. I could be even better I can imagine with one of AWOL's brighter projectors, since brightness is lessened when watching in 3-D. It doesn't dim as much as my Epson 3700 however, so it is a real improvement. I have found that there is some stuttering in moving scenes however, but I'm forgiving at heart when the overall experience is so richly rewarding as a nicely made 3-D movie like Avatar "Way of Water" can be, for example. Back to the AWOL 2500....I have found the menu system to be satisfyingly thorough and consequently it takes some time to feel like you've semi-mastered the many nooks and crannies that comprise the relatively complex menu structure. Like other reviewers have noted one of the peskiest things is the lack of integration of a 3-D button which could have been placed on the remote, and some kind of 3-D recognition ability so that when a 3-D disc is inserted and "played" the system would recognize it and make settings that jive with the native format of the disc. The 3-D menu part of the remote is full of details I've not been used to, and still don't fully comprehend, but trial and error leads to a good result with a minimum of fussiness it turns out. Don't forget to close out 3-D using the menu or else your next disc will be affected in its output in a negative way, like creating unwanted red black bars and some kind of super-highlighted sharpening which isn't appealing at all. All was well when I checked the menu while trying to watch a Ultra HD blu-ray and discovered the 3-D was not in the "off" position in the menu tree. I understand that AWOL gave the 3-D ability to the projector in an update, so that says something about the less than stellar integration of the format in its menu system. It should have automatically "offed" the 3-D functionality when a different type of disc was started......in my opinion. I have found that in controlled lighting environment which is my setup in a decent basement-based 127 inch screening room with a 5.2 s.sound configuration where I imaged the AWOL to about a 120" 16:9 size.......that the black levels could be adjusted in pretty well in my opinon, at least as good as my long throw Epson could manage and possible somewhat better. I'm not a "nit" nerd and cannot objectify the technical details of the projector's performance, but I can notice what looks very good compared to what looks 'unsatisfyingly' washed out, for example. I'm a retired photographer so I am very sensitive to fine details in images generally speaking, and a 4-K Ultra disc like Wonder Woman looks satisfyingly vibrant and dark scenes show pretty darned "inky" black to my eyeballs. Overall, in the low ambient light environment on my hand-made white screen produces a highly respectable image quality in all respects. I'm about to move homes and am a little perplexed by the much-stated hype over screen quality that suggests I won't be able to fully appreciate the image quality unless I get into a fresnel screen product, or at the very least an ALR screen with CLR ability as well. This screen resolves very nicely the 4K native image of a Ultra 4K blu-ray movie, with pixels very detailed upon close inspection of the screen. I like the relatively simply adjustment features of the AWOL like focusing and the image correction mechanism, but feel like other projectors with much faster and competent auto-adjusting features for these details make that set-up chore much easier to get through. So, all in all, I'm pleased with the 2500 and don't feel that I'm lacking in brightness, but then again I'm not using a light-absorptive screen like those ALR screens are by their very nature, and my white screen material seems to be making an excellent image. I would hate to put out all those benjamins only to find that my white screen in my controlled lighting room was superior in the end of it all. What to do....what to do??!!

Love it. Image quality is great. It's easy to set up, use and adjust. It's more expensive than a lot of other options but it is a great projector

I have had this project for 2 weeks now. My wife and I have been searching for a projector to buy for some time now, we didn't want our son to spend too much on mobile devices and computer screens which can hurt his eyesight. So we thought about investing in a projector. A lot of research went into this, we were orginally going to buy the regular projector since the price is a lot more attractive. However, after seeing this product in action in the local showroom, we were immediately sold. When I saw it became available on Amazon, we jumped on it, buy once cry once! We are really really impressed with it so far. The projector came in nice packaging, very well protected. The set up was easy, the first few days we did not have a screen, so we were projecting onto the wall. The video quality is surprisingly good without any professional screen setup. The biggest benefit I think it's the ultra short throw technology, the laser projector does not have to be mounted on the ceiling across the room anymore. This improves the overall asthestics of the setup, the projector itself is built with high quality and would look good on the TV console. The projector supports a lot of different inputs, we connected the fireTV stick that came with the projector and streaming is easy. May I mention the audio quality coming out of this thing is amazing! The audio quality coming out of this projector is better than some soundbars in my opinion. We then purchased the automatic projector screen, boy what a difference it makes. I have attached sample videos of it, Top Gun never looked so good! Trust me, the video taken on my iPhone does not do justice for this setup. It looks a lot better in real life. The 100" screen is amazing! I have not had a chance to have someone come professionally install the screen yet. So I was just trying it out at different rooms, it turns out with this setup, the projector really becomes mobile, you can have it in different rooms and the screen just rises with the touch of a button. We used it during a playdate the other day, and the kids enjoyed watching movie on it. All in all this is a great projector, it's very nice looking and easy to setup. The color and brightness is superb compared to traditional projectors. And this is a laser projector, so we don't have to worry about changing out burnt bulbs either. I wish the remote was a bit better built, but it does not affect the overall funtionality of the projector. I would highly recommend everyone to check out this product if you are in the market for a projector. I think you'll be impressed.

Très bon projecteur, surtout en pouvant regarder sur une toile de 100 pouces. Les couleurs sont plus réalistes que mon ancien Samsung qled 75 pouces, ne pas oublier la 3d qui est sublime avec vos lunettes actives. Mon seul reproche est pour le gaming, je trouve l'image fade un peu! Pour ma part j'ai acheté la toile awol vision MW 100, elle est bonne à la noirceur donc j'ai du acheter des rideaux opaques. Je ne suis aucunement déçu de mes achats et avec un bon surround 5.1 on se croirait au cinéma

I broke a samsung 65 inch curved uhd 4k 3d tv. I honestly thought i could never replace it. I searched Amazon and the internet. Compared a lot and did a lot of researched. For the price and quality this on was the best. It's quality is superb. The brightness is better than I thought. The Ed is better than my tv it replaced. The costumer service it excellent. And it's a triple laser ugd 4k projector that actually works and does what it says. I also bought 4 3d glasses and a 100 inch fixed frame screen. Nothing to complaint about at all. I'm over pleased
