Hey I just bought the ltv 3000, I'm wondering how far under the screen does the projector need to sit? I'm not sure if my current entertainment center will work or not. I have a 120" screen
Great review. This gives me options other than a wall mounted LED panel. Watching you playing with the equalizer reminds me being a kid with the stereo😅 putting that V formation into the EQ😅.
Would like to share an update on my 1st month experience with both the AWOL 3500, and 120 Vividstorm floor rising screen. It looks really good however, I'm having a nightmare trying to get all corners lined up. (At times, I feel like giving up and just using my wall) I do have both the screen and projector on the floor (Carpet) and maybe that's the issue here. Any provided advice and/or suggestions are welcome. I'm unsure about getting a stand as my loveseat sits low to the floor as I don't want to be in a situation where I'm having to look up.
@@TechSteve I have an 83 in Sony TV that I paid $10,000 for. That I never use because of this projector. So yes I am loving this thing and I hope you do as well. Hell I'm watching Rick and Morty on it right now.
Great review, Steve, but you missed out the most important part: 3D! Sure, you mentioned it but you didn't go into the specs. All 3D projectors, I assume, will do Bluray 3D (frame packing) but what about Side By Side, or Top And Bottom or Field Sequential? It simply isn't enough to say it does 3D. We 3D fanatics want to know the itsy bitsy details!
@@TechSteve Fair enough but the manual tells you which formats of 3D the projector can display. I had instead to go download the manual myself. It's the only criticism of your review. The rest is great.
@@TechSteve I have an X10 but I love it. The secret of happiness is not to get what you want but to enjoy what you have. I dream of having an AWOL 3200 of course but it doesn't detract from the fact that I have had many a happy film evening with friends with my X10. I have subscribed.
To further proof videos I don’t mention price, the links has the current pricing. This is a tri laser with req2020 and people are trying to compare it with single laser with Rec 709.
"And as you can see here, as soon as you turn on this setting that you should never turn on, you see why, as the characters immediately have artifacts as a result of trying to interpolate frames that aren't actually there"
Great video. This looks promising, especially with the low 4k latency. 1080p safemode kinda makes a projector company seem sus for not getting it right in the appropriate resolution. 1080p projectos are 80 bucks on amazon. Also lumens, 3500 is a nice step forward, but it should be doing more for a really vibrant 150' image, so 5500 lumens would be more suitable. This is not expensive, can get a really nice 4k lumen pocket size flashlight for $50, and it has 50, 000 hour bulb life. I am curious to see how other companies like formovie respond to this. You know what you must do haha. Also now sure if it was in your vid, but fan noise and lazer whine would benefit from a way to measure it. Fan noise will be an issue for gaming, most 4k rigs will needs some cooling, so noise can add up fast
i bought one of these. i was so excited until i fired it up. the rgb lasers do not converge so everything has a red outline on one side and a green on the other side. b/w movies are all but watchable. i may have to return it. what a pain, not a light one
@@TechSteve errbody's goin nuts over this TV. But when they compare it side by side to other TVs or when they actually show the display, it has a purplish tint. Its not actually that accurate compared to the Sony's and LG
There’s another market for projectors, it’s not high for that market. Don’t worry i still have more TV video on the way. A 98” TCL LCD TV is $9000 to give you a reference point.
Of course covering a myriad of products is essential to tech based channels. So is accuracy in descriptions and recommendations. Most people will benefit from the (AWOL LTV 3500) in description because they searched for it. None will benefit from the "The Ultimate Brightest 4K HDR 150” UST Home Theater Laser Projector" misleading them away from the Epson LS800 which is far superior and $1800(US) cheaper. Though you can never future proof a title/description for tech advancement of the future, you can however not make a claim with current products that are untrue.
I don’t I referred to any other brand on the market. The LS800 is a nice projector as well up to 120” without a catchy titles people don’t click on videos. It is a slippery balance. I never have intentions on misleading anyone on this channel.
The Epson LS800 is not "superior" much less "far superior". That comment is misleading in itself. LS800 is a single laser with REC 709 color space so it isn't even in the same ballpark as the AWOL. That is why the Epson is cheaper. Tri-laser projectors with rec 2020 (on top of HDR10+ and Dolby Vision in a future firmware upgrade) and they are beta testing a firmware with dynamic contrast (see AWOL's facebook page) that improves the black levels at this time. I have owned Epson projectors in the past and they are great, but I have to strongly disagree with this comment.

I have a Viewsonic 701 with similar specs and low input it looks crazy for movies, TV and games. Looks as good as my 4K TV but much bigger
Very impressive. The 3D is the main selling point
Be sure to buy active glasses
@@TechSteve Oh absolutely, dlp-link glasses are essential. I still have a first gen 3dtv from samsung with their active glasses as well!
The 3D on this is amazing. It's like being at the theater with great 3d.
I have to order the active glasses
There is also a AWOL LTV 3000 pro now. Considerably less on the pocket book. Same features just less Lumens.
Great review. I just purchased a 2500 and love it. It puts out PLENTY of brightness for your average living room.
Great to know
Hey I just bought the ltv 3000, I'm wondering how far under the screen does the projector need to sit? I'm not sure if my current entertainment center will work or not. I have a 120" screen
Does this projector upscale regular bluray to UHD? Or is a separate scaler needed to get the higher resolution?
Can I get an idea from you?
Which of the UST projectors has the highest image quality (must provide 3D image and 150 inch image, must be HDR10+)
Great review. This gives me options other than a wall mounted LED panel.
Watching you playing with the equalizer reminds me being a kid with the stereo😅 putting that V formation into the EQ😅.
I miss those days, especially the leds on a spectrum eq
@@TechSteve My Marantz only had sliders, had to go by sounds😎 miss that solid brushed metal finishes.
like that artwork back there
0:18 It's 3,500 ANSI Lumens which is not the same thing as 3,500 nits of peak brightness.
interested to see This projector compared to UST in 2025. Hopefully they make big upgrades.

Nice review keep up the good work Tech Steve
Thanks Marcus
Is 3500 ANSI Lumen? It looks as good as the aura.
I purchased this on indiegogo months ago. Best laser projector I've ever owned. Don't know if I pay the price if they're asking for now but it's nice.
The 2500 version is alot less
@@TechSteve but the 3500 looks the best.
Yes it is, I’ve been using for a month, I don’t know if i can go back to my 75” mini led that i was using
@@TechSteve I have an 83 in Sony TV that I paid $10,000 for. That I never use because of this projector. So yes I am loving this thing and I hope you do as well. Hell I'm watching Rick and Morty on it right now.
Lol
The screen that you're using is it ALR I want to see how well it rejects light from Top and side of the screen
Will it be as good while watching on a 150 screen?
Yes, for sure I’m using it full time in my living room, I can’t imagine using a panel anymore in that room. Just have the right expectations
How is the black levels?
Decent but in a blackout room

To be honest i don’t own the active glasses that’s why I did dive into the information
@@TechSteve Fair enough but the manual tells you which formats of 3D the projector can display. I had instead to go download the manual myself. It's the only criticism of your review. The rest is great.
@wmobberley4416 no problem, I sold this thing months ago and moved on. But it was a great unit.

@wmobberley4416 Thanks 🙏🏽
Day Steve you are really busting out the videos my brotha.
And i have plenty more coming out, I’m trying to grow the channel for sure
Great review , but best thing to start with is price , so people can compare it
to lg and Samsung projectors as far as price and features.
To further proof videos I don’t mention price, the links has the current pricing. This is a tri laser with req2020 and people are trying to compare it with single laser with Rec 709.
Steve, can you review the EPSON LS800 and compare it to this AWOL 3500?
Sorry not going to happen,
Cool, instead of being $10,000 in debt, I will be only in $5000 in debt.😩
😅

awesome Steve ❤ when are you shipping it to me😮😮😊😊
Haha
perfect
Hi Steve why no one Earth has Reviewed Q70 B samsung 😢
I have to buy every request, so I choose wisely
i bought one of these. i was so excited until i fired it up. the rgb lasers do not converge so everything has a red outline on one side and a green on the other side. b/w movies are all but watchable. i may have to return it. what a pain, not a light one
u ever check out the samsung s95b?
Nah, without sponsorship I have decided to not purchase one
@@TechSteve so I guess no mo oleds
$2000 per video think about it
@@TechSteve errbody's goin nuts over this TV. But when they compare it side by side to other TVs or when they actually show the display, it has a purplish tint. Its not actually that accurate compared to the Sony's and LG
@@Animejook It's funny without a side by side it's an uneducated guess just somes opinion
$5K for a projector! Steve, isn't that price point a bit high?
There’s another market for projectors, it’s not high for that market. Don’t worry i still have more TV video on the way. A 98” TCL LCD TV is $9000 to give you a reference point.
@@TechSteve how's the sound? Planning to run it without a dedicated sound system
I showed audio in the video
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍🏽
“3500 nits” … really? “Tech” Steve…
Lumens, my 1st projector video. Still learning
Is it reasonable to expect 5000 hours of life out of this device?
25,000 hrs according to the paperwork
@@TechSteve thank you so much Steve. As always I value your reviews!

LS800 is single laser source projector with REC 709 color space.
Makes sense because of the price, this one is tri lasers, with rec 2020
The Epson LS800 is not "superior" much less "far superior". That comment is misleading in itself. LS800 is a single laser with REC 709 color space so it isn't even in the same ballpark as the AWOL.

The Epson LS 800 is 4000 nits. It is the ultimate brightness
This is the ultimate for 150” screens, but I have heard alot great things about that model. They haven’t even reached out to me to film a product
No Dolby vision or eARC on the Epson though. 😢
Great point Paul
@@FooFighter33 I believe only ForMovie has dolby vision.
I did not know about the lack if earc. Thanks for the update.
@@MrUpscaleman The AWOL projector is supposedly getting Dolby Vision via a software update soon.
