Reviewers Didn't Like

Very expensive (when compared to inclass projectors)
An auto-iris for better contrast, More calibration options for HDR content, Better balanced red primary
Out of the box color in most modes could be a bit better, No support for HLG – Hybrid Log-Gamma – a second HDR standard, Internal audio could be better – but the projector has great audio output options, Remote lacks full set of player controls when opera
