Optoma CinemaX P2 White Smart 4K UHD Laser Projector for Home Theater | 3000 Lumens Superior Image with Laser & 6-Segment Color Wheel | Ultra-Short Throw | Built-In Soundbar | Works w/ Alexa & Google

Got this last year after a lot of research and focus on the negative reviews, so had some idea of pros and cons and limitations going in.Getting the picture to fit on the screen was a challenge, had to buy furniture that was only 12" from surface to floor. The grid with the corner handles is your friend for fine adjustments. Picture quality is very good, brightness and black levels are really good (I have a Samsung HDTV and this projector beats that all the way on black levels, not quite OLED TV level black colors but still really good). The interface and app support are klunky but manageable. I use a Roku for streaming so all my remote use is on the Roku, I only use the device remote to turn it on. If you don't get 4K quality check your connection speed (if it's not fast enough you can't even choose the HDR modes - they are grayed out). I use the browser in the app section to check download speeds. Sound quality from the built in speakers is also very good. They missed some design cues - the legend/symbols over the LED lights on the device are impossible to make out. But after all of that, it was really delivering great picture quality and sound for an immersive experience.Then I downloaded a firmware upgrade and it said applying update and went dark - I had no idea what was going on except one of the LEDs was red. Left it overnight, and tried to restart the following morning and it would not restart. Called customer service and received a bin file (with same upgrade) that I put on a thumb drive and plugged it in to the projector. It still wouldn't work, the LEDs came on and flashed and then went to steady red. Sent it to them and they said the equivalent of the motherboard was not working. So I am getting a new projector now. Kevin Mackie was excellent, courteous and professional in handling my request from start to finish. Can't say enough good things about him.I will update this review once I get the new one and get to enjoy it for a bit longer.6/19 - UpdateI have had the new replacement for a while now, really happy with this purchase. The picture is stunning in my set up dark walls, no/very low natural light. I have a purchased a custom made cover as well, you will need that if your projector sits out in the open (costs about $30).5 stars from me

This product was purchased after a lot of research considering the cost of such high end projectors. Boy, I cannot believe my research was so poor that I relied on sites that glorified this absolutely atrocious garbage of a product. Too bad that they discontinued this product because they knew what they made otherwise the trashing would be more wide scale.The product was purchased in December 2021 and was sparsely used. The 1st year was mostly flawless viewing but had some UX challenges. The early part 2nd quarter of the 2nd year is when the problems started, things like talking long time to start, auto-restart, system crash, sudden changes in color on screen being the most prominent ones. 10 days before the warranty expired, they system completely broke down. Calling and emailing Optoma support was not by any means a walk in the park. They made it sound like they are doing me a favor in supporting the device despite still being under warranty. After the pity-repair, I got my device delivered back to me and sees to work well for a grand total of 10-days. Same problems from before started to resurface, while the support team would hesitate to say what was wrong to begin with.All-in-all this product is by far the worst tech device I’ve ever invested in. I’ll never buy a Optoma product ever. Poor product and poor support is such an understatement!!!!

I ran this thing into the dirt and it held up pretty well. I put 27,000 hours on it in 3yr 10 months before the laser gave out. For a while I smoked in the room it was in (obviously dumb) which probably took some off of its lifespan, too.In retrospect, I wish I had been gentler on it, turned it off more frequently when I wasn't using it, etc., but given the situation I'm happy with the time I got out of it but concerned about continuing to pay several thousand for essentially a big TV every few years.Support was fine when I contacted them about a noisy fan that cropped up after 20k hours. They sent me some replacement fans. I tried to take the thing apart to replace them but got nervous about breaking something. No fault of theirs.Projector remained bright right up until the end then its brightness dropped off quick and I knew the end was near. I was already looking for replacements before it died so it wasn't a sudden issue.I wouldn't buy this projector again today, but I am happy with the purchase I made given it was one of the first laser UST projectors on the market.
