👍 Why people buy

✓ 4,200 ANSI lumens punches through bright sim rooms
✓ 0.496:1 short throw fills a screen from close in
✓ 16.2 ms Gaming Mode lag keeps swings in sync
✓ 30,000-hour laser — zero lamp swaps

⚠️ Trade-offs

• No zoom or lens shift — placement must be exact
• 1080p only, no native 4K detail
• 36 dB at full power is audible overhead
• Dimensions unpublished — verify mount clearance
📋 The fine print
No zoom and no lens shift: image size and geometry are set entirely by mounting distance and height. Measure the 0.496:1 throw and offset before drilling — there is no optical adjustment to bail you out.
