It does have pros/cons like any other projector out there, it is not Native 4k (it's pixel shift), and its contrast ratio could be an issue but it checks all other boxes with up to 150" screen, Dolby Vision support, 3D (Active, DLP-Link), HDMI 2.1 with ALLM support to mention a few. This UST projector looks to be an absolute bang for your buck for its price point (supposed to be a little less then $2k for initial backers once indiegogo campaign opens). Well worth to take a look.

I will most likely pull the trigger on this unit, upgrade from my old Mitsubishi dinosaur 82" 1080p DLP 3D TV, will save me a lot of space and give me an even bigger screen.
