Looking for some advice on the Casio XJ-A142 Ultra-Slim LED XGA Laser Projector. The specs sound impressive, especially the 2,500 lumens and the hybrid LED light source that promises vibrant colors, even in daylight. I’m curious about the picture quality—how does it perform in different lighting conditions? Is the 1,800:1 contrast ratio sufficient for a clear viewing experience, especially for presentations?

Also, what about sound quality? I know projectors often come with mediocre speakers, so if anyone has experience with this model, how does it handle audio?

Lastly, are there any potential downsides I should be aware of? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences before making a purchase. Thanks!
