Hey everyone.

I'm considering the ViewSonic X11-4K projector for my home theater setup, and I'm looking for some insights before I take the plunge. I'm particularly interested in feedback on the picture quality—how does the 4K UHD hold up with bright scenes and darker ones? I've heard about the 125% Rec. 709 color accuracy and HDR support, but does it really deliver lifelike colors?

Sound quality is also a big factor for me. The built-in Harman Kardon speakers sound promising, but do they really fill a room adequately? How does the audio compare to a dedicated sound system?

Lastly, I'm curious about the overall system and setup. I love the idea of easy installation with features like digital zoom and keystone adjustments, but are there any downsides you've encountered? Is there anything I should be wary of, especially considering the need for an additional dongle for streaming?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
