“We use this for movies and TV. The picture is fantastic and the sound is very good. I was surprised by the sound. We will upgrade to better speakers eventually but really, it’s very good, and definitely good enough for now.”
“Pros:
The picture looks incredible.
It’s way brighter than my previous th685i.
Cons:
The projector occasionally flickers while playing or watching movies.
Occasionally the picture completely cuts out and it searches for a source.
I didn’t have these issues with my last projector. Considering a return.”

“Pros:
Phemonenal image quality and clarity on something as simple as an eggshell white wall.
The 4k 60 fps mode is really something to be admired, we watched Luca to test it out and it was a stellar experience.
Incredibly easy to setup and get started with. All in all in took my son and I 30m to get it unboxed and tuned into the wall for proper viewing.
If you have a screen meant for short throw projectors, this will absolutely be the single best picture quality and contrast ratio you can get out of a sub $4000 projector.
Cons:
It's a tiny bit loud, but if you're playing games or watching a movie you will never notice it, but when you pause it is something you will quickly notice if you are near it.”

We're also pleased that you found the setup process straightforward and quick. Your insight into its performance with a screen meant for short-throw projectors is helpful, and we appreciate your endorsement of its picture quality and contrast ratio.
