Hisense 100L5G-RB 100" 4K Smart Laser Short Projector - Certified Refurbished

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) The sheer size of the beautiful screen, with it's ambient light rejecting feature, and the brightness and clarity of the projector is something to behold. I'm very happy I invested in this. Everything I do (streaming, PS5) is a delight. My wife will never understand why I love being in the basement so much.

First off if huge is all you care about this does deliver, image is sharp and motion is excellent, the setup is straightforward and the alignment app works perfectly. It also does a great job of sensing when people (ie children) get too close and dims the laser accordingly. Unfortunately it seems laser tech just isn't there yet, as even in perfectly dark rooms the image is dim and washed out. I know there's technically a more expensive option, but it's only 10% brighter and that doesn't come close. I was originally made to expect the brightness/colour should be on par with a mid level modern TV, but it's not even in the same realm. Think worn out desktop monitor from the mid 2000s. I REALLY want to love this, I have spent hours trying to adjust picture settings and laser brightness, but at max it's still terrible, and doing so brightens up the shadows too as you still get some light shining over what should be perfectly black areas on my other TV. Credit where due to ALR screen does its job, if I turn on the nearby pot lights they have zero effect on the picture. I just wish the picture was worth keeping it, for the size of it all I'd accept even the equal to a cheap modern TV as in brightness and colour.
