Intitial setup was easy and straightforward, but it was a little complicated getting the projector aligned perfectly to the screen - are least the first time I did it. After getting it right and learning the process and marking exactly where to place the small and short table I built just for the AWOL, I can get it situated and aligned in around 3-4 minutes and we are golden. Anxiously awaiting the firmware update which will enable Dolby Vision. In the meantime it still looks awesome.
The short video I uploaded was from YouTube - the 4K Costa Rica video. The camera does not pick up the color quite correctly - the slight purplish hue is not the way my eyes see it in real life. My dogs love watching TV and will do so often for well over an hour straight, especially if there are animals on the screen. I have yet to make any adjustments to the picture, so that’s right out of the box - on Standard mode. Will be doing some calibration with my Spears & Munsil calibration disc his weekend and I’m sure it will be even better.
Have yet to try out the 3D capability, that we’ll do this weekend with Avatar Blu-Ray 3D and I’ll post a further update.
UPDATE: I got to test out the 3D, using the movie Gravity. It was amazing, comparable to how it looks in a 3D movie theater. The scene where the spacecraft flies through the satellite debris field is incredible. I used these 3D glasses from Amazon:

I have not tested or really tried the integrated audio as we have a 7.2 surround system with a Yamaha receiver. A suggestion to AWOL: perhaps consider another version of this projector without the integrated speakers, if it would mean a substantially smaller overall footprint. Most people paying this much for a projector and screen will almost certainly also have an AV receiver with multiple speakers - which will blow away any projector’s integrated audio solution.
