I'm considering the ScreenPlay SP2234 3D DLP Projector and would love your insights! I’m particularly interested in how the picture quality holds up—does the 4600 lumens brightness really make a difference for both movies and presentations? How’s the 30,000:1 contrast ratio in practical use?

Also, I’d appreciate any thoughts on the sound quality. Does it come with built-in speakers that are decent, or would I need to invest in external audio?

Lastly, any potential downsides to this projector? I’m hoping to use it for both home entertainment and work presentations, so I want to ensure it meets my needs. Thanks in advance for your help!
