Excellent, underrated projector
By VO on Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2019
Current setup: Elite Screens Manual 150" MaxWhite at 1.1 Gain, Old Onkyo HT-R550 surround sound (7.1), XBox One X, set up 2.5' up from the ground and 11' back from wall on table in very dark room @ sea level +/-200 ft I had previously planned on purchasing an Optoma UHD 60 or Epson 4010 as a 4k upgrade to my dated projector. After comparing specifications and wandering around showroom floors, I went with the X10-4K for primarily 2 reasons. First, I have some use for a portable projector, and love the mobile design features of the X10. Second, I want a projector that will last me a while. The X10-4k is the only projector with a checked that box, given the estimated 30,000 hours of use (I would be happy getting 1/2 of that). I had not expected the high-contrast, clear picture with an exceptionally deep pallet of colors. The device is very quiet and smaller than I expected (I had though it may be as large as some of the Epson 4k projectors). I also recieved mine with a sticker indicating the firmware was updated. The controller is fine, with a few issues of latency (in particular, the "Ok" button does not consistently respond without holding it down for a second or two). Since I have mine on a table directly in front of me, the remote responds 9/10 times (sensor seems to be in the back of the device). I am watching movies using my XBox One X, so I cannot provide a comment as to the apps native to the X10-4k (and would take my XBox with me to other locations). I will provide an update in 2-3 weeks once I've broken the device in a bit. Update (3 weeks later): although the input lag on this device is listed as between 66-100ms, I had trouble noticing any substantial differences playing competitive mode in Overwatch (I did tweak sensitivity controls for this), team deadthmatch on CoD, and Outer Worlds. The apps seem to work on par with mid-tier smart TVs, and the 2-3 movies I watched in 4k didn't have any issues (used at friend's place with Netflix, approximately 100mb/second at his house). Love the portability. No complaints to date, glad to have taken a chance on it. Since I didn't mention it on the first review, I did not receive any special deal on this device. I also rarely leave reviews, but felt I needed to in this case.

Such a letdown
By Ben Turnwall on Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2019
Where do I start..... Despite this being an extremely new product, with zero reviews on Amazon, I decided to make this my big bang purchase on Amazon Prime Day. Amazon was claiming the price was marked down exponentially, I loved the look of the device, its portability, its 4K quality to upgrade from my 5 year old 1080P projector, and its Harmon/Kardon speakers. Un-boxing the product was simple and the projector, itself, looks stellar. Booting it up let me hear the great Harmon/Kardon speakers. Sadly, this is were the fun stopped and the torment began.... First, the remote would hardly work on the projector. The button pressing was severely delayed, and the projector would only read a button press about 1/5 of the time regardless of where you pointed it. (The support team said this is not uncommon) Second, I could not, for the life of me, get a square image on the wall unless it was EXACTLY 5 feet high and about 4 ft from the wall. Who would want that?! It would place the projector right in the middle of everyone's line of sight. I tried upside down, etc.... to no avail. Although the image looked stellar, this thing is a joke and I cannot believe it made it to market. Upon reaching out to support, they acknowledged that this projector is meant to be in one spot per screen size and cannot be changed or altered in the slightest. This projector also has a "feature" that senses if someone is in front of it and turns it off for 3 seconds. Imagine watching tv and if someone passes it, the screen shuts off for 3 seconds. HORRIBLE idea. I would have honestly lived w/ it and hopefully figured out how to tweak it if this thing even gave me a chance of installing it. The options to tweak the projector are scant, at best. I thought I had to be missing something. "Advanced" options just let me slightly alter the shape of the picture. I've owned projectors my entire life. This was an absolute letdown and I missed out on all of the other major TV deals. I am sure there is someone out there who can achieve the perfect setup for this thing as the picture and sound were stellar, but for me, the juice was not even close to worth the squeeze. Please stay away from this thing like the plague.
