Come on buddy we are waiting. I only have a day and don’t want to buy one which I than regret. Problem is I could do it at my end unfortunately I can’t get s demo so have to rely on your expertise.
HI Leigh, just i ordered the formovie with vivid storm screen based on only reviews , is there any set up issue, how about earc lossless audio , i have sonos arc set up. how is in ambient light enviroment? what screen are you using?what do think about picture quality? I have apptle tv 4k for netflix. thanks
@jayanti saha I have a Epson UST screen at 1.0 gain black screen. My picture quality I love watched many movies now and I have no issue with the detail on screen. It could be better but at the moment we can't get that in UST cuz of the lenses. What makes it better is the color. It makes up for it in this department. Having a massive color gambit give the picture more life and the deep black is awesome. The best thing about this projector which I fluffed around with alot was the color it did my head in because there is so much settings to play with. My best results was I set my streamer to Force Dolby vision which 4k apple TV can do and I bought a Sony x800m2 4k and forced dolby vision and it just does color automatically for me and gave me the best results!!! I use mine in a complete dark room theatre space. However when I turn lights on its still pretty good. But simple can't beat pure dark room. Especially for DV because it drops the contract abit.
@jayanti saha set up issues just trying to get the screen and projector to line up since my first time I stuffed it up mounted to high the screen. For about a month I used the formovie on my wall and I was impressed with that lol. Wall was black. There is a focus issue top left of screen just doesn't seem to fully focus like the other 3 however this is no issue because most time it's black when watching movies and streaming if you get full size picture your eye never goes up there cuz the centre is your focus point. I had samsung sound bar plugged in which didn't have EARC just ARC and did work as intended however it dropped out and I couldn't get it to work again but doesn't matter I got a fully Atmos system now. Maybe if songs has EARC it will work properly.
Although the LS800 is brighter, it lacks in many other specs. The awol 3500 seems to be the best option after all my research, so I just got mine on order with the Black Friday sale
Don’t buy guys., Its watchable only 7PM onwards. 😂 Day time screen completely washed out. This technology not ready at to replace TVs. All these ALR cannot handle it too day viewing. You definitely need full blinds for your living room.
Thank you for being the only RUclipsr I've found that actually has a gaming component to each projector review. I wish there could be a projector shootout that was gaming focused since it is my main use case.
@@dannythedabbler Unfortunately it does. It's targeted for 1080p@240Hz PC gaming to achieve around 6ms of input lag or 1080p@120Hz/4K@60Hz console gaming. It's going to cost $3,500 if I recall correctly. Consoles don't have 4K 120fps games. They're too weak to take full advantage of HDMI 2.1.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M yeah, that's true, but I'm not going to spend that much money on a device that's at best playing catch-up. I want a bit of future proofing so unless it's 4k/120 with low input lag and HDMI 2.1 I'm going to continue to wait. TVs are running circles around projectors in terms of innovation. They'll be two HDMI standards behind if they don't get it together.
Been watching your reviews and really appreciate it! I ended up ordering the Formovie. It was between this and AWOL , but felt like the Formovie has great praise. New to projectors in general fingers crossed I made right decision. Thanks bro!
So far so good! I am still setting up where its going, but just off the wall (regular wall) it is great! Getting a screen but need to finish set up to figure out the size. Very happy and glad I didn’t spend $6k.
I been waiting for your take on this one. For what I've seen it seems to be the top of what we can call a budget laser projector. The AWOL looks awsome and probably netter than anything I've seen but its twice the price.
I am a proud owner of original (Chinese model) Formovie T1 (theatre), and i love its. I am so happy that it won the shootout among the competition because it deserved the recognition. No one believing us on the AVS forums when we were praising the projector and they were calling us paid shills. Gaming mode is good for non competitive gaming like God of war or resident evil. I even played offline street fighter 6/tekken 7 with friends and input lag was at 36ms. I use custom mode because and casual gaming is fine on it as well.
Just purchased an Epson LS800 to replace my LS500. While the 500 has been great, the LS800 appears to be an upgrade in all respects. I simply can't deal with the rainbow from any other projectors.
Great video as always. Please could you do a video on setting up your Laser TV - i.e. settings/picture options etc. I got my Samsung a few months ago, and it's still using the out-the-box settings. I'd especially like to maximise image quality for 4k/BR/DVD.
Nah, it doesn't. I was trying to remember why I held off, and it's because of that. He mentions it when he's showing the ports on the projector. To me that's the only flaw.
Great review! Many thanks for doing that How do you compare it with VAVA Chroma new software update of a couple fo weeks ago? I have heard there was quite impressive jump and I was wondering if now they are on the same level without any ghosting and red shift in VAVA.
@Chris Yes, I am also waiting for the answer for the above, with the BF deal from VAVA at 2299$ and with D capability. Can you please help on this how they compare?
Hi, have you encountered problems regarding fan error? Mine says "Fan error. Projector will automatically turn off on 5 seconds so as to protect itself". Any idea how to rectify?
Would it be possible if you can post a detailed calibration settings for Formovie. This projector is a pain setting it up if you don’t have the right equipment. Since the default settings leave a lot to be desired to get the most out of it. This is an important thing.Pls do this for this. Also do your external drives run on this as mine don’t.
Your review was very helpful. You mentioned it didn't perform very well under day use, but was the screen ALR? Also, did you think your review of the Samsun Premiere did better under daylight?
Yes Same Question, Waiting for this response. How did it perform during day with windows open using ALR Screen ? Curious to know. Thanks @ChrisMajestic
How can I connect my onkyo tx-rz740 with formovie THEATER Projector. Please guide I'm trying to connect my sound system using earc port on projector but didn't get any audio
I purchased Optoma D2 and everything is so cheap quality including the remote control. No Wifi and no smart connectivity ! Avoid buying Optoma! Any suggestions between Formovie and Lg ?
Been thinking about jumping on to the Ust projector bandwagon too but how does the contrast on this compare to an epson 5050ub? Will it have better picture quality then a 5050ub?
I think its good to show hkw an external device can be connected directly to formovie theatre, i am having hard time to connect apple tv to its HDMI and also connecting my sony ht-a9.
Great video! @Chris Majestic. My unit comes this week to replace my Formovie T1. About brightness maybe you can consider the brightness of your room, is too bright! I test a lot of UST projectors (Samsung, Lg, Xiaomi cinema 2 and more) in my Xy pet cristal screen with all the lights during the day (Blind closed) and the results with T1 is unbelievable. Theater have the same brightness of T1! You can see the results in my yt channel. So, this projector is the most recomended today. Thank youso much!
The Black Diamond screen is specifically for long throw front projection projectors. Screen innovations makes a UST screen but I haven’t had a chance to test it out yet. The spectra vantage screen that I used in this video is fantastic though.
It would be neat to see you do a comparison between the new Awol vision 3500 vs the Formovie projector. I love your reviews. I always look forward on seeing the next video.
@Chris Majestic thanks for your response Chris! Sounds like the LSP9T would be best when it comes to picture quality overall? Mostly using it for shows, some movies and games (not hard-core like online shooters). My last concern would be the age. It's been out since 2020. I suppose the specs are still up-to-date.
Hi Chris, I just went to test both the Hisense L9G and the ForMovie. Formovie image is indeed more contrastly but Hisense is brighter. Hisense seems also to be sharper and more '3D'.. a bit soap opera feel? Formovie seems to be smoother and image looks more smoothing... but the set and the remote seems cheap... rather cheap.. Im running in a delicated dark room. Really can't decide. If budget is not an issue, what will u install ?
I run the L9G in my living room still. It is indeed significantly brighter. If you plan on using it in a dedicated theater room you might be better off with the Formovie. The extra brightness isn’t necessary. The Hisense is a bit sharper though. The biggest downside to the Hisense is the fixed focus so you’re stuck with one screen size.
@Chris Majestic I remembered that your comparison video of the Hisense L9G and the Samsung... the Hisense L9G IRE level was 25 i think (without the ambience sensor turned on), the samsung was 17? What's the IRE of the ForMovie? Apologies for the many questions.
Chris … purchased 4movie based on your recommendation. On hookup, all I get is NO SIGNAL. Something is going on and tried multiple combinations. Ugh!!!
Can I Please use your professional opinion. I’m the market for a UST projector to go along with a Spectra Projection Vantage 150" UST ALR CLR Projector Screen and a Bose 900 sound bar with dual subs and jewel surrounds for my Living room. Would you go with Formovie or Epson LS800? Thank you for your professional opinion.
Hi Chris I so love your video's I'm looking to upgrade my projector to a 4k one.. Please if possible could you do a review or tell me if the Optoma uhd35stx is worth getting as I already have a Short Throw projector. Thanks 👍 👍 👍
I'm wondering why the built in Prime Video app doesn't show the videos in 4k. I connected a fire tv cube, but same issue. Only the built in RUclips app displays 4k content in 4k. Anybody got an idea how to fix that?
Product Team: what should we name it? Business Management: what will you use it for mostly? Stakeholder: For movies. Product Team: We shall call it "Formovie"
Hi Mr. Chris my name is Jose I just brought a JMGO O1 Pro Ultra Short Throw Projector 4K and I'm kind of new to the short throw projector but I do not know what kind of screen would work better for it, I've seen a lot of your videos and I know your big fan of elite screens can you please tell me what kind of screen would go good with this projector.
Chris, how much different are the black levels from Formovie vs the Hisense L9G? Taking Audio out of it. The Black Friday deal on the L9G was $3800 for the bundle. It was hard not go with the. L9G. Am I really missing out on the Formovie or do you think I should be happy with the L9G if I’m going to use it in my basement on a Cine screen with Sonos speakers? I also haven’t heard anyone review the L9G since it was updated with Dolby Vision. Does it work as expected? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Can you please add some new tests to your projector reviews? 1. How does it perform when connected to an Apple TV. 2. How does it perform when you connect bluetooth headset (via Apple TV). I own an Optoma and when I use Photos app on Apple TV, it flickers every time I swipe to the next photo/video. There is also a substantial lag when I connect my headphones. I tried fiddling with the settings but wasn't able to sync audio and video. If you could perform this test for Formovie and the LG projector that would be very helpful. Thank you.
It seems as of 7/10/23 the prices have fallen for the hisense px1-pro as I have seen it as low as $1700, but the formovie is still at $3499. Is it worth the premium or is the hisense the better choice now with the updated price tag?
Hi Chris, Thanks for your review. I watched all of your projector reviews before Black Friday! Do you think BenQ TH685i is a good choice for below 1100cad for now?
Love the reviews man, was going to watch a movie, but I got sidetracked with your reviews, haha. So, the question I have is I have a cinema and Max wanna go 120 inch screen, and want a great picture for movies. I'm in Australia, so my theatre room is around 4 metres wide and 3.5 depth ( distance from rear wall to front screen) So should I go ultra short throw like this exact one. Or should I go with the projector on the roof, which would mean running everything through the walls again. I have a 82 inch samsung on the wall at the moment, so barely use the room as it sucks 😆
Great tech, good to hear its still alive and growing! Very happy with my laser tv, the purchase of which I owe to Chris's channel. So, to the people writing the paychecks, at least one unit sold is directly on chris!
Hi Chris , thanks for your videos again, they helps us a lot , at least for me. I would like to ask you (or someone who follow you) for a secure link to buy this laser TV in Europe, because many of them are from China or similar and the model is not exactly the same, the conditions or warrantly are not the best. Thanks so much!
Hi Chris. I am new to your channer. Thank you for this video about the Formovie review. Which short throw projector would you buy if cost was not an issue?
Love what your doing, can't wait to see ur review on awol 3500 I wanna upgrade from hisense l5g but I take ur reviews to heart I would love to see what u think of it .keep doing what you do
Hey I'm trying to figure out what would be the best upgrade projector right now I got a Mooka projector from Amazon in my living room a year ago I don't know which one to get for upgrade to ik I need a long throw one since I need to mount it to the ceiling since I got little kids What do you suggest
Hi, thank you for this detailed review and for the movie samples. Have you seen any “Soap Opera Effect” during your test ? If so, is it possible to avoid such effect with specific settings? Thanks again!
Excellent job! You are great at what you do! Thank you for the review. I just purchased one! Any recommendations on screens for this projector!?! Thanks much and keep up the great work!
A lot of you guys are asking me to compare the Formovie to the Awol and the Epson LS800. I promise you I'm working on it. :)
Yes please 🎉
Pls work faster. I need to buy one fast
Come on buddy we are waiting. I only have a day and don’t want to buy one which I than regret. Problem is I could do it at my end unfortunately I can’t get s demo so have to rely on your expertise.
YESSSS!!!! Those are literally my top 3 options right now. Can't wait for this!
Forget the Epson LS 800 - no Chance against the Formovie overall. The only point for Epson is the throw distance wich is ultra short.
I've got a formovie have at it for awhile now. And questions reply to me.

The Black Diamond screen is specifically for long throw front projection projectors. Screen innovations makes a UST screen but I haven’t had a chance to test it out yet. The spectra vantage screen that I used in this video is fantastic though.
Appreciate your reply.....we're rookies....didn't realize that you would need a different type of screen for short laser projectors.
From your opinion which is better hisense l9g or formovie
The brightness about halves with hdr content… which is rough.

Hi may i know how can i reset or find out the parental control password ?

It’s on my list to review
If 3D capable, I would've purchased this projector. I went with the Optoma D2+ instead (3D and low lag for gaming sealed the deal for me).
They’re supposed to be including 3D in a firmware update
How does the Formovie compare to the Samsung LSP9T? The blacks seem better on the Formovie? How about sharpness?

So, the question I have is I have a cinema and Max wanna go 120 inch screen, and want a great picture for movies.
I'm in Australia, so my theatre room is around 4 metres wide and 3.5 depth ( distance from rear wall to front screen)
So should I go ultra short throw like this exact one.
Or should I go with the projector on the roof, which would mean running everything through the walls again.
I have a 82 inch samsung on the wall at the moment, so barely use the room as it sucks 😆
How is the HDR/contrast compared to the BenQ HT3550 in a dark room?
Great tech, good to hear its still alive and growing! Very happy with my laser tv, the purchase of which I owe to Chris's channel. So, to the people writing the paychecks, at least one unit sold is directly on chris!
Hey, thanks again for the great review. Can I ask does it support 3D and how does it compare overall to the Optoma CineMax P2?
pixel shift? yuck!
Hi Chris , thanks for your videos again, they helps us a lot , at least for me. I would like to ask you (or someone who follow you) for a secure link to buy this laser TV in Europe, because many of them are from China or similar and the model is not exactly the same, the conditions or warrantly are not the best. Thanks so much!
Will the Apple TV 4K identify this projector as Dolby vision ?
Can you review the Philips Screeneo U5?? I know its not out yet but it looks promising. Are you able to get your hands on a pre release model?? :)
Hi Chris. I am new to your channer. Thank you for this video about the Formovie review. Which short throw projector would you buy if cost was not an issue?
I bought the Epson LS800, on sale at bestbuy, hope I made the right choice
Love what your doing, can't wait to see ur review on awol 3500 I wanna upgrade from hisense l5g but I take ur reviews to heart I would love to see what u think of it .keep doing what you do
Can you review the Bomaker tri laser UST projector? It’s less then 2k right now and seems like a great projector but I want to see more reviews
LG HU85 MADE IN 2019 STILL BEST UST PROJECTOR HANDS DOWN
Hey I'm trying to figure out what would be the best upgrade projector right now I got a Mooka projector from Amazon in my living room a year ago I don't know which one to get for upgrade to ik I need a long throw one since I need to mount it to the ceiling since I got little kids What do you suggest
Great review. How does this compare to the newer Epson Laser Projectors. I have the 5040 and am wanting to upgrade.
I got my Samsung lsp9t for£1999 or $2451 a fantastic price.
Hi, thank you for this detailed review and for the movie samples. Have you seen any “Soap Opera Effect” during your test ? If so, is it possible to avoid such effect with specific settings? Thanks again!
Excellent job! You are great at what you do! Thank you for the review. I just purchased one! Any recommendations on screens for this projector!?! Thanks much and keep up the great work!
Hi Chris. Thanks for the review! what have you done to make Netflix work??
2 questions. 1. Can you do rear projection, 2. Where did you get that shirt, I have to have it!
In the dark room what wins do you think formovie vs Epson 5050ub?
Would it replaced your 5050ub regardless of the gaming?
whats the equivalent model of formovie theater in global version ??/
I'm supposed to receive my Formovie projector this week, excited!!
what about.....What the best 2022 movie theater projector ? (not a short-throw projector)
I really appreciate all of the great content! Have you had a chance at all to look at the Optoma CinemaX D2 or D2 Smart at all?
Is Pixel Shift still looked down on? I feel like nowadays it should be true 4k.
How many inches off the floor and away from is your set up for the Foremovie? Thanks
Awesome looking HDR performance. Great review mate.
Can this be mounted upside down so I can put it on the ceiling? I looked in the manual but didn't see anything about that
That's what I'm looking for for 3k better than average
Also the Vava ultra short throw is on sale right now for $1995.00
How much heat did it give off I have an overhead projector now that after 2 hours the room is too hot to be in
Can the formovie be mounted on the ceiling like other ust’s?
Idk why but i trust you more than other reviewing others projectors
Man, if this did 4k @ 120hz it'd be perfect.
