LTV-3500 Pro

Same here, I’m still pretty new to projectors but totally get what you mean. Been running the AWOL for a bit now and honestly the experience’s been solid — more than enough for me tbh

The 3500 is bright and it has an absolutely horrible horrible black level performance. AWOL also doesn't have the greatest rep of the manufacturers but that's less important. But you can do better than the 3500 easily with the 2025 crop of UST's and save money doing it.

The AWOL flagship UST looked pretty juicy, we know they have the tech to do incredible black level (because Valerion). Price will probably hurt. How do the PX4 and the new Nexigo do the 200 inches though, is that just if you're in a cathedral and have endless height to work with for screen placement? I'm also curious about how they do the 2.35:1 in more detail. I hate having to use a 16:9 screen, it's just fundamentally wrong that trash content like TV 16:9 is larger than the 2.35:1 movies I really care about.

AWOL 3500 and 3000 checks all these boxes. I have the 3000 Pro 2 and love it. Great 3d, affordable and comfortable glasses too.

I may catch some flak but I purchase the AWOL 3500 Pro with 132” ALR cinematic screen a week ago for $5,000 during their sale. Came with 4 3D glasses and their sound system included for free. Seem like a good deal and I’m happy with the screen/picture/ projector. I’m just gonna sell the sound system since I have one already. 

AWOL 3500 pro. I feel like people give it crap but I truly am enjoying it. 

I just did a AWOL 3500Pro with 132” wall hung ALR screen. I love it!! Inky blacks are good don’t me wrong i have a 83” LG G2 OLED. But losing the blacks for the size, brightness and colors have me loving my new setup. Paired with a UB820 4k Blu compliments it so much.  I did the full AWOL for $5,100 including tax. Save the other $15,000 

Honestly, LTV-3500 Pro is a beast — colors and HDR are insane. Hard to go wrong with that setup 👌

I have the previous version LTV 3500 Pro. I absolutely love it and the black levels on that are great. I am in a dedicated light controled room. There is a lot of light bleed because of how bright the projector is but I have some blackout curtains around and on top of the wall. I am using a basic fixed white matte finish screen I picked up from walmart for $200 and even with that the pictures are amazing. It is a 160" screen but I am running probably closer to 145" because of the room requirements. Can not say enough good things about it. I also backed the kickstarter to get the Atherion Max https://preview.redd.it/vh1h38yjsnlg1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d14c93bc45cff81bf9399b500378d6d8e37884b7 Picture of the Screensaver. You can see how vivid it still is even without dolby vision or anything. This is from the Amazon firestick

I'm still kinda new to projectors but I did demo the AWOL once, the HDR support made a big difference to me. Epson looked brighter on paper but to my eyes the AWOL felt more cinematic, it's pretty sweet if you're watching movies in a darker room.
