AWOL Vision - 4K UHD Smart Triple Laser Ultra Short Throw Projector with 3500 Lumens, HDR10+, Dolby Atmos, 3D - Black

I just purchased my Ultra Short Throw Triple Laser Projector LTV-3500 with the 100inch Awol screen. Let me tell you guys it blew my mind and I really recommend it. The fire stick that comes with it works perfectly. The chrome cast works excellent and with the 3D system I felt like I was in the movie theater. I have it in my living room and there’s no problem with the daylight. I really think this is the future of TVs. Plus, I called the Awol company to ask a couple of questions before and after purchasing the product from Best Buy and Steve had excellent responses and customer service. Well done guys great product!

This is not intended to be a technical review. There are many out here. Just Google it. Anyway, you go about this AWOL projector, all the professional and customer reviews are stellar. I never considered purchasing a projector. I did not even know how these are supposed to be set up. I thought it was difficult to set up and all the trouble one has to go through, was not really worth it for me. I was very happy with a Samsung 4K TV but I was also open to eventually increase the size of it but I had space and wall limitations. Throw in the AWOL which I stumbled upon and a motorized 120-inch screen. All of a sudden, I have the best personal cinema in my basement. Honestly, this is the best purchase I have made in the last decade. I am a techno person. I have all sorts of devices but I never thought that this would TOP everything I own. The feeling one gets when watching anything and I mean really anything: videos, streaming, Blu rays, 4K’s, YouTube, TV, is just beyond belief. The cinema feeling ( which I abandoned going to ), is very real. Now, I own this cinema experience in my own home and can reproduce it at any given time thanks to AWOL. Combine the amazing colors, the 3500 Ansi Lumens, the easy way to install and set up, the active 3D feature (which for me was a big seller), Dolby Atmos, upcoming Dolby Vision and enhanced black levels and you have the best technology at your fingertips. I could go on and on about my feelings with respect to the AWOL unit but I won’t. I really think this is the best projector out there. Add to that an outstanding customer service, a very active and helpful Facebook group and you really cannot go wrong. If you are looking to purchase a projector, look no further.

Having owned three UST projectors over the past few years including the Epson LS800 and the Formovie Theater, I cannot overstate enough how much better the AWOL 3500 is and how far USTs have come in such a short time in general! Biggest Pros: Brightness. I can watch this ALL day long, even with the harsh lighting of my studio/game room. This is truly the only projector I can honestly say that is the case for. No light modifications needed here. Other projectors I have owned were great at night but absolutely unusable during the day. Obviously in a pitch black room this thing shines, but I love the freedom of not having to do that in the middle of the day to play some games. Speaking of games…. Another pro is gaming. PC, Switch, and PS5 look stunning on this. Input lag is essentially nonexistent and the gaming mode function is flawless in execution. I’ve had projectors before where latency forced me to simply not attempt any serious gaming on a projector before. Not the case here at all. 3D has completely blown me away and has given me a reason to invest in a library of 3D titles again (been years since I had a set capable!) . I highly suggest you invest in decent 3D Glasses (XPAND is my go-to). I didn’t realize what I missed till I had it back. Cons: Hate to say it but really none. Setup was easy. Throw distance is more than reasonable for my 150 inch setup. No complaints here, just a happy few weeks of larger than life content. Hopefully my pictures showcase how good this thing is in light and dark alike, even up close on a 150 inch screen!

Finally, a company that gets it. I have been using projectors for the last 15 years, and the Awolvision 2500 is my first UST. After months of research, I finally decided on another brand, a few weeks later Awolvision announced their launch, so I cancelled my order for the other projector and went with Awol. It was one of the best decisions I have made in a very long time The build quality is superb, it is a little larger than some of its competitors, but I don’t find that to be a problem. In the world of UST projectors, placement is everything, and this will need some a bit force to budge it, which is nice especially if you have little kids running around. The color, brightness and contrast are excellent. Out of the box, the image reproduction is fantastic, and it is even better with some tweaks and calibrating. I am amazed at how bright the 2500 is and I am curious to compare it to the 3500, which I am considering purchasing to replace my tv in the family room. Awolvision recently released an update that added 3D to the projector and Dolby Vision is coming in the future. The team is very professional and quick to reply to support emails and they seem to be very committed to providing outstanding customer support. This will definitely change your home entertainment experience. #MyAWOLVisionLTV2500

I went through three projectors, before I purchased this one. This is the best of the best. Bright and sharp picture plus Dolby Atmos and 3-D. I love it. You can also browse the web plus more.

The way: Even with a 85“ TV I was missing real cinema feeling in my living room, so I decided to go for ultrashortthrow projection because of the easy installation and also to enjoy big screeen TV at daytime. Thats why I researched at the very beginning of this year for about three months to find the best UST on the market. I created spreadsheets on my computer with all the technical features of all flagship models on the market and rated them with a point system. One evening I stumbled upon a review video of a very esteemed reviewer and projection professional from the States. Extremely enthusiastic he rated a device that wasn’t available on the market yet, but it was due to be released very soon. The brands name: Awol Vision, name of the device: LTV-3500. When I entered the data of the device into my table, it was very clear that this unit could (at least on paper/table screen) one of the absolute top models on the market, If these values were to prove true. Since all the points evaluated by the reviewer are also very comprehensible and generally very important for an ultra-short projection, I kept both eyes on it and followed all the news regarding the new manufacturer from California. And then, the Awol came on the market and finally to my home. After 22 years of home theater enthusiasm, I have seen a lot of (UST & regular frontpro-) projectors and have already tested some new brands and devices that came very fresh to the market and then struggled with teething problems, but here every expectation was actually exceeded. The experience: While researching the upcoming purchase of a UST, I looked at the flagship devices of pretty much all the known competitors, but when the Awol LTV-3500 arrived at my place, the screen was hanging and everything was connected, I was really speechless already by the out-of-the-box results. The rich (but in no way artificially inflated) colors, the enormous brightness and the resulting high dynamic range as well as the sharpness of the image are unlike anything else on the market. Trust me, I've seen them (pretty much) all! The RGB laser does its job in terms of brightness and color saturation absolutely outstanding, the operation runs absolutely stable and always smooth, the features leave nothing to be desired and the intrascene contrast is just incredible. The top model-lens delivers such a crisp sharpness and all that features together on the screen is just fun, fun and even more fun on a super high level! The enormous brightness makes it easy to enjoy a large picture in a bright living room (or of course other locations) even during the day. In daytime it serves as a TV and at night it transforms the living room into a perfect home cinema, because in a dark room every projector always shows his absolute top performance and the Awol leaves nothing to be desired for a big screen fan and those who want to become one. Also for fans of video games, it is also suitable without any problems due to its low input lag. The 3D function is, not least due to the brightness performance, an unprecedented result and even tops div. flagship TV models. My personal result: The Awol combines modern design with state-of-the-art technology at the highest level. Cinema, Blu Ray and Ultra HD color spaces are surpassed, the device runs super quietly, super reliably, whoever misses out on the Awol really has only themselves to blame! ...and not only for events like Super Bowl or the Soccer World Cup, you can also quickly set it up somewhere else and enjoy the incredible big picture everywhere with the built-in speakers. Anyone who likes only the best should definitely grab the Awol!!!

( This is not a technical review, simply my feelings about using the LTV-3500 after the first month of ownership. ) —— TL;DR version: The AWOL Vision LTV-3500 has easily exceeded my expectations. It turns whatever you are watching into a spectacle. —— I have been looking for a replacement for my primary 75” LCD TV purchased in 2016. It had been slightly damaged in a move which ended up leaving inconsistent light levels (it appeared to have a dark smudge in the middle of the screen in certain viewing conditions). I was also mildly disappointed with its 3D picture quality (ghosting and crosstalk in most scenes). Having spent a couple of months researching LED, OLED, projectors, and Ultra Short Throw projectors I settled on the AWOL LTV-3500. I have paired it with a motorized, floor-rising VividStorm 120” ultra short throw (UST) ambient light rejecting (ALR) screen. I could not be happier with the performance of the LTV-3500 as a full-time replacement for my 75” LCD TV. 3-D Performance:  Having had disappointing experiences with LED 3D TVs in the past, I was resigned to the idea that I just couldn’t achieve a near theatrical presentation at home. I was wrong! The LTV-3500 has blown me away. Paired with DLP-Sync active shutter glasses (purchased separately online), the 3D picture is completely solid with absolutely no crosstalk or ghosting, seemingly no flicker from ambient light sources and instant, easy syncing. With such a bright, clear 3D image at 120”, I am very happy with 3D at home… for the first time. Gaming:  Gaming with a Playstation 5 the LTV-3500 has been a very good experience. I’ve played fast racing games (Wipeout, GT7), action RPGs (Diablo 3, Final Fantasy 7 Remake), platformers (Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, Sackboy A Big Adventure) and haven’t had any issues with input lag. Watching HD streaming content:  Streaming from the included Fire TV Stick 4k Max, that neatly tucks into a panel at the rear of the projector, looks great. I also have a 4k Apple TV which performs similarly to the Fire TV. Viewing programming from Amazon Prime, Netflix, Disney+, Paramount+, Apple TV+ and other services on the 3500 has transformed programs from “a show on TV” to “an event” in my living room. 4K UHD and HD Blu-ray discs do not disappoint and really show off what the 3500 is best at: brightness, contrast and color reproduction ability. Pair the LTV-3500 with a good UST ALR screen. It is worth the investment for enjoyment in varied lighting conditions and improved contrast overall. I’m very pleased with the 120” VividStorm. The screen came with a USB wireless dongle to plug into one of the USB ports on the projector. It raises and lowers the screen when the projector power is turned on and off. It works without any setup. Areas of improvement: First, the system menus take some fiddling to fully understand. Second, the black levels aren’t perfect but the brightness, contrast and color fidelity more than make up for it. Dolby Vision (HDR) is currently in the works which will be a welcome addition. Overall, I would highly recommend the AWOL Vision LTV-3500 to anyone looking to transform their TV/Movie/3D watching and game-playing into a spectacle. It is truly transformative. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to watch something.

Huge, bright, and exciting entertainment is now in my loft with the AWOL projector. It’s SO beautiful and has so many options. I can’t be much happier with my setup. Movies and sports are an upgraded performance and it’s really difficult to come downstairs! The colors are stunning, the brightness can be seen from outer space (if I open the black out drapes) and the wide screen certainly feels like a theater experience. I cannot recommend this projector. It’s my first projector and I feel like I’ve been spoiled with this product. I’ve got a 100” screen attached to Denon and Martin Logan components / speakers. It’s good to consume the entertainment! #MyAWOLVisionLTV3500
