I'm considering the InFocus ASK Proxima M2+ DLP Video Projector and would love your thoughts, especially regarding picture and sound quality. I've read that it has a 1,100:1 contrast ratio and can reach 1,400 ANSI lumens, but how does that perform in different lighting conditions? Also, I've noticed it supports both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios, which is great, but does it handle widescreen content well?

On the sound front, does anyone have experience with the audio output? I'm curious if the built-in speakers are sufficient or if I'd need external speakers for a better experience.

Lastly, while it seems like a solid system with features like a zoom lens and digital keystone correction, are there any downsides or quirks I should be aware of before making a purchase? Thanks for your insights!
