Laser TV PX3-PRO

PX3-PRO is the top dog right now at that budget. $3K would be a good price. Black Friday/CM is a month away though, I'd wait at this point. // Meanwhile, you're going to need to elevate the UST projector though. Sitting on that hearth will have part of the image hitting that fireplace...which I hope you never plan to use if you're going to have a UST and screen there. (I wouldn't chance it, ever). Also, the width of that space where the image would go... I feel like an 85" TV makes more sense there? It would be brighter than a UST for one, and it would do a good job of filling most of that space, for two.

I have the 5050UB. It is excellent and remains so even after 3500 hrs on the original bulb. I recently purchased a Hisense PX3 Pro UST for another room, and it doesnt match the Epson for filmic look. Also black levels aee better on Epson.

Just got my PX3 as well. Quick things: - out the box it had smooth motion / motion interpolation enabled, which may be the “clinical” thing you are experiencing. Turn that crap off :) - play with the focus some. It’s pretty easy to have it ever so slightly out of focus and it’s hard to tell. - Try one of the dark picture modes. Otherwise, no RBE effect here, but that really sounds like it’s a person to person thing.

Depends on your use case, the PX3-Pro still seems to be the best mixed use UST. Nexigo Aurora Pro mkii is best for dark rooms. If you don't need UST then you have more options (Valerian Max, Dangbei S7 ultra)

I had to add some shims under the base of my floor rising screen to fix the tilt. Then everything else was easier. One way or another I think you need to fix that first. I also have a PX3-Pro and Im loving it. You'll get there.

I am loving my PX3-Pro. I haven't really turned on my Bravia 9 since getting it. The picture aint that far off and surprisingly way better than i thought it would be.

Ive got a PX3-Pro with a 120" floor rising screen. Also a 85" Sony Bravia 9 in this room. I like having both and use them pretty equally. PX3 Pro rips by the way. Image quality is nearly as good as the Bravia 9.

I'll put the likes of hisense l9q, px3 pro and nexigo ap mk2 ahead of it.

Why not ust like hisense px3 pro or nexigo ap mk2?

Don't think any 0.47 projector can output 4k/120. They support the input but the output is still 4k/60. Higher fps is restricted to 1080p. If you want vrr, it limits your choice further. Without dedicated room, ust + alr is the better route. If you're not sensitive to rbe, can consider px3 pro. If you're sensitive to rbe and want higher gain 1.8 alr, you can consider nexigo aurora pro mk2.

For anyone who wants to buy AWOL UST in 2025, that’s the worst. You simply get better with PX3-Pro if you want to 3D.
