User Feedback​

Pros:
• Extremely fast response times, ideal for gaming
• Great picture quality when functioning properly
• Optimized for Xbox gaming, enhancing the gaming experience
• Compatible with good HDMI to Optical Audio splitters for surround sound setups
• Recommended pairing with quality projector screens for optimal performance

Cons:
• Factory remote does not work; reliance on a universal remote
• Persistent pop-up notification for Ultra Fast Input that cannot be disabled
• Screen settings reset to default upon restarting the projector
• Lamp brightness diminishes significantly within a few months, leading to washed-out colors
• Overall color accuracy issues, such as a green tint on the screen

Overall Impression:
While this projector boasts impressive gaming capabilities and picture quality, it suffers from significant usability issues including remote functionality, persistent notifications, and frustrating resets of image settings. Coupled with concerns about lamp brightness and color accuracy, it may not be worth the investment for most users. Caution is advised for potential buyers.
