Great picture/gaming, but RBE and no lens shift are dealbreakers.

Dude I bought a Hisense C2 ultra and it has been the best investment for movie nights and gaming. Pull the trigger. It will not let you down. Btw I paired mine with with Samsung 880c sound bar and PS5 Pro. The thing is versatile too and had movie night in the backyard and projected onto the garage in the driveway for outside movie night. You cannot lose.
I have tried Hisense C2T ultra, xgimi horizon 20 pro but settled on Nubula x1. Decent brightness for my use which is daytime with little to no light control. There are two complaints. Google tv interface is little laggu but then I use Google tv streamer so that is not a problem for me. Second thing, projector doesn't turn on unless i either point remote straight at the projector or I am within a meter range. After first start, remote works as normal via Bluetooth. I got it during sale for £1699.
Nebula x1 is definitely worth checking. I returned hisense c2 ultra, horizon 20 pro and settled on X1. JMGO N3 Ultimate also looks interesting.
I’ve just changed from an optoma hd42 to a Hisense c2ultra The difference is night and day
You will need to consider audio in the room as projectors don't do audio really well. Many lifestyle laser projectors don't have any optical zoom, which will limit your size/placement options. For example, the Nexigo Trivision Ultra has a fixed 1.27:1 lens. For a 92" diagonal, the lens much be 8.5 feet from the screen. [https://www.projectorcentral.com/NexiGo-TriVision\_Ultra-projection-calculator-pro.htm](https://www.projectorcentral.com/NexiGo-TriVision_Ultra-projection-calculator-pro.htm) The Hisense C2 has a .9-1.5:1 optical zoom lens. This gives you a ton more flexibility in placement so you can get a 92" screen or a 100" screen or even a 110" screen from the back of the room using optical zoom. [https://www.projectorcentral.com/Hisense-C2\_Ultra-projection-calculator-pro.htm#calc](https://www.projectorcentral.com/Hisense-C2_Ultra-projection-calculator-pro.htm#calc) The lens of these projectors needs to be aligned to the top edge of the screen. These models do have HDMI-ARC to backfeed audio to a sound bar or surround sound receiver. But, speakers need to be fully thought out prior to getting too much finished.
I tried the Valerion Plus 2 and found it too dim. I then tried the Hisense C2 Ultra and found it just right for my 120 inch screen.
I’ve been playing Cyberpunk 2077 on a Hisense C2 ultra on a 135” screen mostly at night and it’s pretty fucking amazing. Plus I have a paradigm 5.1 speaker setup with an AVR. It blows my mind every-time I start playing. I also play RL on it and honestly it’s not bad. I don’t really notice the input lag.
