I’ve had this projector for nearly a year. Have been running the Dolby Vision beta on mine for the last few weeks. DV is officially available as a OTA download at the end of the month. Looks great.
I'm actually thinking to do the reverse. I've used an ust projector for years now, but my room isn't that massive, so I think I'll go for a very sharp and clear image instead this time.
Do you have an ALR sreen for the 2500? I am considering buying the 2500 but am concerned that even with an ALR screen that daytime viewing will be not be very good. Any insights would be appreciated as there isn't too many reviews of the 2500 online, thanks!
I do not have an ALR screen, couldn't find a UST screen that was 135". Day time viewing is terrible in my basement right now, I've put blackout material on 2 of the 4 windows down there, and have blinds coming to hopefully make it better.. but definitely without a light controlled room it's pretty bad without ALR - not sure how much better it would be with.
Got this unit a few months ago and haven’t since tuned on my LG Oled.. my friends are also impressed by the PQ, with the right content (I only watch UHD blu rays) it almost looks 3D with great depth. Pictures simply don’t do justice to laser beams. Though can’t beat the black level from any oled. The closest would be JVC or Christie
Great review. Thank you. Unfortunately, it's only 60 hz for 4K. Also, I have WIFI ceiling speakers for my Dolby Atmos system. They use WISA. WISA is not included with most 4k UST projectors. Why? It's now September, 2024. I'm looking to upgrade. But, I tnink we're close to getting AWOL to release an 8K version. I hope so. So, I will wait. Lets hope the next versions of 8K UST do include, at least a 120 Hz refresh rate, WISA and other nice goodies.👍
Great detailed review. No looking back for us after getting our UST triple laser projector last year - superb picture even in sunlight with the right ALR screen. Cinematic experience all the time - I'd expect this to be a mainstream technology in the next few years as more people see them live.
Hey Chap, The first 65 inch tv u introduced looks smaller for a 65inch tv with ur body to TV ratio , 😶 u seem to be a big guy that 65inch ur tv looks more like 50 inch not sure if it's just me.
Like all tech, it depends on what the user plans on doing with it. Personally, bigger is better when it comes to screen size since I’m not much into gaming, and there’s the benefit of not having a massive black rectangle co-oping your living room when you’re not watching something
Great Video! Would you be kind enough to review this ALR floor rising screen in detail please? Also, please talk about the infamous crease/wrinkle problem of this ALR screen in your review video.
I’m perfectly happy with my Hisense PL1 fusion x for 1899 with Dolby vision it looks amazing I could get 3 of those for what these guys are charging 120 inches is as big as I can fit in my living room
I would take the 77" LG B3 OLED fon sale right now for $1,800 any day. With the exception of making a home theater dedicated to just old movies I just can't justify this setup. It's really cool though how far projectors have come though. I like those little 120" pocket projectors they have npw fpr around $500 bucks amd they would be cool for a long camping trip or something. But for a multi use media center it's OLED for mehands down no debate.
Why did the port that this guy say was Earc have only Arc on it .? Is it Arc or Earc, fairly big difference. Is the Earc in the back where the Fire stick plugs in?
Thank you very much for this video ! I m really interested by this 3500 pro but I have one question : do it support all framerate : 23.976 , 24 , 25 , 29.9 , 30 , 59.9 and 60 fps ? I ve many video with various framerate (not only 23.976 or 24) and I 'd just want to be sure I won't have any stuttering issue !
Hey i have a question, my last 65 inch tv i had it was from tv to sofa around 2,6 , but if i buy one projector that can be up to 150 inch will it be to close to watch? 😊
@@Thetechchap thank you. Yeh TVs always beat projectors for contrast and overall image quality. But there are allot of pros for a projector. I love the fact you can put the screen away and not have an eyesore when not in use. Non reflective screen for that more cinematic look and not so harsh on the eyes for long viewing sessions. Giant screens that don’t cost as much as TV equivalents. You can easily send them of for repair or sell them on or move location. More child friendly if you’re worried about them breaking your 100” screen. Much much much more energy efficient at 100” and above. People really overlook this last point. A 98” tv will use allot of energy and there’s a bigger likelihood of problems like dead pixels, screen uniformity etc.
I have this projector. Black levels are raised a bit by ambient light even with a good ALR screen. In the dark, the black level is much better than an edge lit LCD but not as good as OLED or Mini-LED. It's worth the trade off for the size and brightness. If black level is your biggest priority, you'll be happier with an OLED.
I wonder how it stacks up to the Epson LS11000. I’m going with 150”. My room is 25’ long so not a problem mounting it to the ceiling. Cheers. Great review. The 11000 is about 3.5k USD here.
the room isnt even "fully darkened". is this why some are saying oleds are still better?(wishy-washy colors) so the real prob here is you need to go through the trouble of making your well-(naturally)-lit room dark / you need a dedicated room for using it(cinema room) so you dont get the fuss of "setting up"
The biggest drawback of using a projector with three-color laser technology is its laser speckle, especially when you are nearsighted and have astigmatism.
It's a bit challenging to express the appearance of laser speckle in words, but you can think of it like the display effect you might see on an iPad when you use a paperlike screen protector. Laser speckle creates a grainy or frosted texture on the screen, and some individuals with sensitive vision may notice it and experience eye discomfort after prolonged use.@@SnS-The_GLow
I've done the large laser projector thing at great cost. Just go big oled, even 65 inch is plenty for most homes. Still pricey either way but nothing comes close to oled atm. I switched back to a oled tv. Micro led still has a way to go imo and laser will be an option if it can keep that cost down.
That's not the other guy is talking about, it doesn't matter what the projector can potentially do, we're talking specifically about the title it will be making a video that says my car can do 300mph and then in the video I only show my car doing doing 100mph what we don't care what it can potentially do, we wanna see it actually do it @@dantu5377

🤔 You know I didn't think about it much but there is a big advantage to not having a giant screen taking up all that visual space from a normal tv setup. The benefit of a tv is if you're using it all the time then yeah no big deal but I didn't think about that much as I am not a huge gamer and I only really need a big time tv for when I am watching Netflix or TH-cam when I am eating my meals but all the other times I am not in need of a tv. Perhaps an ultra short throw projector and screen like this is better. Now I've got some things to think of, because I don't have a budget to get both a tv and then a projector but I am wondering how often I will actually need a tv. I really only want a big screen for when I watch movies or shows every other time I watch anything else it's on a tablet or laptop. Hmmm. Something to think about, I move next month and so I am debating whether to put a tv in the bedroom or just have one in the living room, it's just me and so I don't want to be buying really more than one tv I want my room to just be a place for me to rest and relax and sleep not have all the distractions of a screen, so I'd only be using the tv when I have my meals and maybe, very very rarely will I play a game and if I do it's on the Switch. I like the idea of an UST but I'll be honest I love the resolution and colors of an OLED, I am 100% spoiled by a nicer resolution but the picture looks good. You can plug a soundbar into this right and you mentioned they're in Florida? I got to check it out :D maybe they do military discount as well lol

Hey Chaps! Would you ever switch to a Projector??
only for dedicated home cinema room with JVC NZ7 Laser Projector and madVR/Envy processing.
I’ve had this projector for nearly a year. Have been running the Dolby Vision beta on mine for the last few weeks. DV is officially available as a OTA download at the end of the month. Looks great.
Would love to have one for the bedroom, but the price.... ;)
I'm actually thinking to do the reverse. I've used an ust projector for years now, but my room isn't that massive, so I think I'll go for a very sharp and clear image instead this time.
I'm wanting 3500 pro with 120" fixed screen for my home theatre when I finish my basement.
Pointing out disadvantages associated with game mode or low latency mode is a must for such visual unit, not many reviewers do that. Thx for that
I have the 2500 LTV, and I love it. The 3500 Pros addition of Dolby Vision and increased brightness has me interested in upgrading.
The 2500 also got Dolby Vision in the latest update.

Yes, I bought it from Amazon and I am waiting for it to arrive at my house. Thank you for reviewing the beautiful device
Tip of the day: MAke the wall behind the TV black....It will make your 120 look ginormous
What do you mean? If the 120 screen is placed on a white wall it will make it look not as big as if the wall was dark?
We appreciate your dedication and hard work. Keep working hard.
The AWOL 3500 Pro is awesome, and with a 120" ALR, it really comes to life. I replaced my 85" OLED, and I am MORE than happy with the switch!
85" Oled?..
This set up would be perfect for my basement entertainment space.
Excellent review, 3D 120 "is really amazing, I saw the screen 150" on the website, surprise!😀

Home theatre includes surround sound. Have fun with that using this setup.
@@patb5266You can connect your av receiver to it can't you?
@@patb5266why wouldn’t you be able to connect sound equipment to this laser projector like any other normal projector?
I have a projector not this one hooked up to a 5.2 system. I have a video of it on my TH-cam
That is dope! Just got my Samsung The Freestlye 2, which has the cool auto correct feature. This projector here is awesome, but way too expensive
What's it like with the curtains open? Think we can guess.
Projectors always benefit from watching in darker rooms - but the 1000 nit brightness is solid in a decently bright room
Thank you! A larger screen provides a more immersive viewing experience and reduces the amount of black space in the living room.
Great review! Thank you for all the information. I may wait for the price to come down a bit though :)

Was the TV at the beginning really 65 inch? Looks like a 42 or 49 inch TV at most
Room is big
My friend is the son of the CEO of awol
when these start to support 4k 120 VRR...then I'll make the jump.
How much is the ALR? I couldn't find it in the description.
Nice laser tv! But where to get that really cool rgb table? Or what's the name of the manufacturer?
What is your promo code? And how much saving are we talking about?
Can we use it in Classrooms using Android mobile cast the screen of mobile and show the PPT and PDF sir
Absolutely
There are far cheaper options for that.
Is this a sponsored video?
7 hours worth of play out of it per day for 10 years sounds like it will last the test of time:) It sounds like ample.
Does it have bluetooth to connect to speakers?
Why did the port that this guy say was Earc have only Arc on it .? Is it Arc or Earc, fairly big difference. Is the Earc in the back where the Fire stick plugs in?

Hey. What’s about 50 hz refresh rate for pal tv program? Is it native or possible to activate?
