Bought the Formovie Theatre a few days ago and this was the review that made me push the trigger on it. Great Review!
That is a pretty sweet setup now, World Cup must have :)
Amazing...might buy it for my new apartment. I will use the link ;)
Good man :)
I've never been interested in projectors but your videos really intrigue me I might get one in the future you have been detailed videos
I have one and its amazing, ask me any questions

Hi ,am looking for UST projector,looking between lg915qe or formovie 4K .
There is no any display in showroom.only depends on reviews.
It’s good ask someone already own.what projector u own now? Is it formovie ?
How about colur and contrast clarity.
Is it near to OLEDs??
@@perumalraja6765 greetings, it really depends on your budget, but I will recommend the formovies if you find it at 3k $, I used to own a xgimi aura and ha ing 3 lasers makes a difference, none of the USTs will match an actual OLED pound for pound but formovie is getting darn close
@@GeneralCondom I agree with the various data of formovie. Because I tested many brands of projectors with the same price and got different data, but I only care about high definition and fluency. Obviously, formovie is better than others.3K$
Absolutely loved your detailed review of this projector. Thank you so much for showing us how to set it up in a typical British-style living room and play Netflix/games on it I have not found any other such detailed review on youtube done by a British guy for British resident viewers like myself. You just made my decision much easier now. Absolutely brilliant video!. Cheer!
It's not the only UST with Dolby Vision. First one was the Xiaomi Cinema Laser 2.
And i think nobody have to be worry about the brand Formovie because it's a Xiaomi company
I'm looking for some time to buy a laser UST projector, but its a long difficult way to choose the best laser UST projector. LG has some rainbow effect, specialy with people who wearing glasses noticed this, while the Samsung has speckles in the screen. Formovie uses ALPD 4.0 which counter both problems. In this period Leica will launch his first UST projector the Cine 1, in collaboration with Hisense. The downside is that Leia is ridiculously expensive and i wait to see if this projector will also have a rainbow or speckled effect with its TriChroma laser engine. Depending on those results i choose between Leica or Formovie. If formovie releases a second theater, i hope that they will choose for the 0.66 DLP chip like LG uses, instead of a 0.47 DLP chip.
Why the 0.66 dlp chip?
The 0.47 hast to shift 4 times to get 4K while the 0.66 do this in 2 times to get a 4K picture which result in a much sharper picture like LG has.
Splendid demo and info well done 👏🏼 👍🏼
Question 🙋♂️
Vividstorm screen if I’m not mistaken the bottom part of the screen is transparent so can have a centre speaker 🔊 behind it 🤔
Question 🙋♂️
So can the screen be put just above or on line with the transparent section if you don’t have a speaker 🔊 behind it.

Great Review! I also bought this projector but cannot output Atmos or Dolby Digital via eArc to my receiver which only shows PCM. The cable seems to be Ok. Do you have any suggestion? Thank you!
This is awesome 🎉when is the next version coming out?
HI , I bought the formovie ust projector, its great other than key stone adjustment and no Netflix,
Anyway am using the sonos arc for tv , i want use the same sound bar for projector as well, how to achieve this, any splitter available , basically projector will watch in the night or weekend, rest of the time watching tv, cant change and connect sound bar every time. please advice me , thanks in advance.
Hi is this good for day light viewing ? Bright enough? Lastly is memc tech better than motion 60 mhz ? Thanks.
I love the HeyshDI Ports
Will the Apple TV 4K Identify the project as Dolby vision?
Great review. Is there a gaming option setting available that can help with the video game's slight controller lag? I also like the roll up screen option.
It does indeed have a gaming option that I wasn't aware of when I made this video
Hi,
How about EArc bandwidth capacity-is it up 45 mpbs or 23??
Great review, I assume that here in the UK you could connect a Sky Q Mini box to the projector to get access to not only Sky live broadcasts but also programmes previously recorded, plus all the other streaming services available on Sky like Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc etc? I know that at present the SKY Q Mini Box is not 4K, would the pixel shifting give a good approximation of 4K?
You should use the main Sky box to get true 4K, and yes, pixel shifting is exceptionally sharp but it won't upscale the minibox to the detail in the main Sky Q box.
Great review, thanks. By utilizing keystone adjustment you will slightly increase the lag (latency) time for gaming. I am curious though if there is a way to utilize the Formovie B&W speakers as a centre channel to match my B&W 7.2.4 surround setup?
There isn't a way to do that unfortunately, it was something that I personally want to do. Maybe an update in the future will allow it
Great review, very helpful. Where can I get the wood boxes you have holding your Amp and XBOX and resting the screen on? See 2:36 for reference. I need those in my life. Thank you
I had them custom made years ago specifically for projector usage to be just tall enough to hold my equipment
Thank you for your speedy reply. I wanted to leave the Sky Q connected via HDMI to the main TV, but I suppose I could get some kind of splitter. I assume that the use of the Sky Q Box will get around all of the issues that you described in the video with gaining access to Netflix with the projector? This seems to be a common issue with many projectors that I have seen reviews of. I assume that this is some kind of licensing issue? Also do you know of any stockist in the UK that have showroom facilities for this set up. I am in Norfolk.
The sky Q box will act as a media player and will work fine. I personally opted for a 4k amazon fire stick.
If you use the link in the video description for their official website, they do keep some stock in the UK
Very cool
So you lost me there on why you couldn’t run the XB1X through your A/V receiver and run the A/V eArc hdmi port to the TV?
Nice Vid - tempted to buy one now - from Kev, u know who.
You should, Kev
Hi, do you know what's the power consumption ? My sony 75 inch tv is about 130 watts, how about this projector ? thx
Around 200 watts
Thanks for the review. How is the picture with lots of sunlight during the day? Is it decent or very washed out?
Also would you replace your TV with this projector?
Ultimately, all projectors require light controlled rooms, and even though this one is super bright, my blinds need to be closed during sunny days to prevent washout.
That being said, my window is large and right next to the screen because my room is small. Your circumstances may be different.
Would it replace my TV? Well I haven't switched the TV on since buying the projector.
Can you have the rising screen and the projector at the same level, e.g. on a media bench with projector in front?
Yes you can
Great review bud. Can I ask whether you see much lazer speckle? I'm sensitive to it and it's not something many people mention in reviews. To me, it looks like small flecks of light, almost like glitter or light refracting off oil in small dots.
Hi Blake, I don't see that at all, but that might be down to the Vividstorm ALR screen
@@SaabUnleashed Thanks for replying mate
Can this projector support 60 fps on 4k?
Just curious, for the same $$, how does the picture quality stack against a LED/OLED TV or a LG long throw laser projector?
Any projector will never match the picture quality of a QLED or OLED TV, especially where any ambient light is concerned
buying this but do I need to get the vivid storm projector? will any ALR projector suffice? It will be in my living room but there's only two small windows and not much light
Any ambient light at all will cause problems if you don't have an ALR screen. There are different qualities of ALR screen and Vividstorm are one of the very best do to the materials they use. They do cheaper models too
@@SaabUnleashed I know I need an ALR screen but I dont see anything around 1k at all. My cap was 4k total for everything
Can the projector be hanged on the ceiling?
Thank you for the detailed review. You said the blur you see when you turn on, will that be always for the first 30 or so mins? Ever
Yes, but it's not visible when viewing TV programs and movies, just text and other specific sharp shapes, such as the focus calibration screen
@@SaabUnleashed how much does it cost
Hi, can you explain again how you get Netflix to work directly on the Android 11 OS? I got my Formovie Theater 2 weeks ago, loving it but frustrated that I have to use Nvidea Shield for Netflix.
Install the Web browser, search for "Netflix 4.16.1 apk" and then download it from one of the APK sites. Then use a file manager app to navigate to your downlands folder and install it
Hi mate how far away from the screen is your seating position for a good picture
3 metres
Do we need projector separately?
Can you have the formovie picture setting menu pop up while on the Xbox or an external device?
Yes you can
@@SaabUnleashed did they fix it to now allow HDR10+?
How far away is your projector from your screen to fill out the 120 inch screen?
Please do more videos on this projector awols 3d option does not bother most people 3d is dead formovie is the best when it comes to picture
What isn't explained is how do you just watch CNN or sports on ESPN? I have a cable package with Rogers (my Canadian cable provider). Will my Rogers channels show up on my projector dashboard?
No, you plug your cable box into a HDMI port or install the CNN or ESPN android app onto the projector
@@SaabUnleashed OK thank you. I think I understand.
Hey mate can I please ask the dimensions of the width of that screen base? So the extents from the base edge to edge? I have a nook that I am wondering if it would fit within
It's 2.91m long
Sorry, it's 16cm depth
@@SaabUnleashed that is what I was after thanks mate
Ótimo projetor leve
Mad, meu Sim2 cristal 35 é melhor😍
I will send you the AWOL LTV 3500 at no cost, if you do a showdown vs the Formovie. The sole reseller of Formovie in the US set up a Laser TV Showdown with parameters that favored his product. Didn’t include brightness! Love to get a non biased comparison. The AWOL 3500 has been in a number of reviews that beat the Formovie. Please Advise.
I am in the UK, but I would be happy to do a unbiased review
What about frame rate?
Great video but what is that dark patch in the top left of the screen?
It's the studio light which I didn't hide very well
@@SaabUnleashed lol. That explains it. 😂
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.
I wouldn't go as far as calling myself an expert, however I am doing a video on the LS800 in the near future, so will give you an informed opinion then.
Hi nice review and yes this actually won a home theater shoot out this year. Beat out all the short throw brands.
My question is how much does this compare to a television? I'm looking at getting the 98inch TCL hopefully in the new year. The Short throw projectors I true but have not seen any good ones.
A projector will never compare to a TV in daylight, it's simply not possible. At night though, it's great.
I personally won't buy a TV for size because you end up paying for the size instead of the spec. That's why I bought the Samsung 75 inch Q95T. It was more expensive than bigger tvs, but the picture is amazing
@@SaabUnleashed thank you for replying and giving feedback
@@SaabUnleashedI believe a projector won't harm eyesight as much as a regular tv
Excellent review. Does the screen rise automatically when the projector is turned on or do you have to click on the remote to make it rise? Also is your screen wall mounted or screwed in? Thanks
The Vividstorm screen has a USB connection which you plug into the projector (or other device) which triggers the screen to open. It also comes with two remote controls, one infrared and the other rf
It is not fixed at all, just sitting on the wooden cabinets
@@SaabUnleashed Thanks, did you get hit with import duty when buying either the projector the screen?
@@user10186 the projector came from the UK so no import tax. They have stock around the world if you buy it direct using the link in the video description.
The screen I had to pay £60 import tax
If you say ABSOLUTELY one more time 🥶
Thanks for this - how far away was the projector from the screen?
7.2 inches for 150 size of screen
Motion clarity?
Your worldwide projector purchase link is broken
It's a Xiaomi projector, developed in collab w Appotronics (Guangfeng Tech) so don't let the cheesy name put you off. I am getting one.
Hi brother , please do need your help . I have 72 inch rising screen In white material , I was told not to use ultra short projector idk why ! I saw lot of ppl using the ultra short projector and it works perfect I’m confused what to buy Bcs i really want my projector to be right next to the screen ! Any help or suggestion would be highly appreciated
You will be able to buy an ultra short throw but you'll only be able to use it in a dark room unless the screen you have is ALR (ambient light rejecting).
ALR screens have angled grooves which reflect a projector image coming from below to you, but reject other sources of light. This means you don't need to have a completely dark room to use them. But again, you can project a UST onto anything
@@SaabUnleashed so I can use the ust but the white standard ALR screen I have which I Believe is for long throw projectors only would not give a very good image Bcs it’s not suitable for ust projectors . Means I have to get an ALR UST screen for the UST projector I’m I right ?
@@Marco-ol6ms ALR screens are directional, they are designed to recieve light form one particular direction and reflect back to you. If yours is not designed for UST, then you won't get the best possible image.
Grab a vividstorm screen from one of my links in the video description
Have you tried 4K 120hz gaming on this pj?
Can't do 120, only 60
Hi,
How Apple TV 4K will work with this projector??
Thanks
I watch Apple TV using a 4k amazon fire stick
@@SaabUnleashed sorry I mean Apple TV streaming device
why wouldnt you simply plug the XBox one to a pass though HDMI port from your receiver? that way you can use your receiver as your central hub and get all the benefits of HDMI 3.
That's what I do too.
Can I hook up a small sub woofer to this bad boy?
I don't think you can add just the add a sub. From what I've seen, the main speakers are disabled when an external device is added.
That being said, analogue audio output might allow for this
Guy can't bring himself to say AppleTV - hahaha
Is this available in Australia, if so the price and where I can purchase.
Use the link in the video description. They're avaliable worldwide
@Saab Unleashed how much it will cost?
@@thangiahmathuranayakam5426 whatever the australian equivalent of 3500 USD
That means it will cost $9000
Welp never owned a projector time to start saving , thanks for the review. Is yours on the floor while doing this review ?
It was on the floor sitting on it's box. I have since built a little unit for it to sit on
@@SaabUnleashed Iv seen a lot of besta unit builds , I was thinking of doing that but use heavy duty sliders instead of ikea so there is no sag
Great review 👍
I personally went with the AWOL 3500 because it had 3D, while the Formovie doesn't. 🥺
Yes, the AWOL is crazy high in price. However, AWOL offers Vividstorm floor rising screen bundles and if you're military, (Like me), they deliver an additional discount. *(Maybe they do the same for 1st responders, try calling them directly as asking....might get lucky).*
At double the price tho...
@@ArmadilloGodzilla
Agreed, AWOL is a costly device. However, during Black Friday, I secured my AWOL 3500 with a 120 ALR floor rising screen from Vividstorm for $4400. (I'm military, and the company offers a military discount as well, awesome 👍). Without the Black Friday & Military advantage, you could've still got this for less than $5200. (The screen alone is $2,000).
Again, the Formovie appears to be better and if it had 3D, this would own the UST projector market. (All they need is the firmware update)
is it really 4k projector? I have full hd LCD projector and i want to buy new one to watch movies not only in the darkness but also in a daytime...
Yes it produces 4k through pixel shifting. If you want decent daytime viewing, make sure you pair this with a ALR screen which only reflects light from below and deflects it from other directions
@@SaabUnleashed Wow that's great) i d like to use it as a monitor to watch movies and pictures from pc and browser by using keyboard and mouth. Thanks for answer)
This Formovie seems dope, with Dolby Vision being a huge plus. However, I don't get the lack of 3D support for these machines.
AWOL Vision LTV-2500 and LTV-3500 say hi.
Is this available in the UK?
Yes, If you use the worldwide link in the video discription, they have a UK warehouse
@@SaabUnleashed brilliant thank you
@@SaabUnleashed looks like it’s out of stock atm
@@supercaradventures2219 Yeah it was out of stock when I ordered it. I had to wait about 10 days
have dolby atmos?
It's a projector. If you want fancy sound, pair it with an awesome sound system, like I have
@@SaabUnleashed I have seen the fengmi t1 global version (formovie) that has dolvy vision and dolby atmos
Bro pls help me I have two options awol 3500 and formovie which one is best plz reply
They're both decent and I don't think you'll be disapointed with either of them. But I ultimately went with the Formovie and it has been used daily since this video was made
HEYCH DEE EM EYE
Running apps via Xbox or PS4 is a problem for energy efficiency, better off with a Fire tv type device.
This is true, although it makes sense to use what you have. That being said, you'd need an amazon fire stick to get 4k BBC iPlayer
Energy efficiency? Why are you even here if that's a concern. Go without a tv to be energy efficient.
Not a standard power socket... standard are square shaped
It's a standard kettle lead that PCs use
@@SaabUnleashed incorrect... i was sold the European lead for an Australian socket. I bought 6 leads to replace the European. They do not fit as the male end is a custom shape. Please learn from my lesson.
Series X...you said Xbox one X a lot 😃
Yeah I realised that whilst I was editing, too late haha
This error was annoying me lol
I blame Xbox. Name things sensibly and we wouldn't be here!
How does it like in daylight?
Fades dramatically unlike the AWOL Vision 3500.
And you are wrong that it is the first dolby vison projektor it is not that is Xiaomi projektor
Is it just me or is the display bowed ? Looks like it is.
😂Just how much is it!
A device to watch movies that is not compatible with Netflix. Brilliant! Same device has an HDMI port not compatible with Xbox, Brilliant! Sounds like this device has a lot of work to do before I even consider purchasing one.
Isn’t this 2800 ansi lumens. You said it’s 2400 lumens. ?? Why is that
You are correct, I have no idea why I said 2400. Thanks for highlighting, I'll correct
No worries. I bought the same projector and I also have the same vividstorm alr 120. How is your experience with hdr10.and hdr10+ contents brightness. I feel it's not bright enough if you compare with the ls800. Also what media.player is really good for playing rips which are hdr 10 and hdr10 plus contents
@@ice2hotlord
Hi. I bought set up too,still am getting good focus in top left and right even after 30minutes projectors on.
Can you tell me how to fix this ? What height should be the projector and screen base level difference -either parallel or above the projector base?
Any improvement tricks also appreciated
Thanks in advance
@@perumalraja6765 i wrote a lengthy reply to your question proving you solutions. It seems the channel owner deleted it for reasons unknown. So lame my friend. PM and ill help out privately.
What's happened to your usual new Saab content?
You need a separate CZcams account for Non-Saab content.
Hey Jace, I always said that the channel isn't specific to Saab. That being said, there will naturally be more Saab content because I own several of them
It's an Xbox Series X
It's incredible you made a whole video without showing us how the projector would looks like out of the box without that expensive UST screen.. with and without lights on..
You are wrong it is not a Xbox One x it is Xbox Series x
😂How u never highlighted how much is it! Why!!
be careful, mine only lasted 10 months, now I'm looking for technical assistance...
The motorized screen or the projector?
Sad
If you taking about the Formovie Theater, how is that even possible? Unless I'm mistaken it's only been available to consumers for about 4 months.
Nooooo 😳😳😳😳
Amazingly terrible. No projector can't compare with the cheapest tv these days...
Not worth it 3k on a 4k projector it should have 8k for that price
No content for 8K and high costs for streaming industry, you can forget 8k
The best thing about this device is that it does not support the source of homosexuality, the university of nudity, and social corruption
Really need help here with the projector, we just got it and have noticed some glitching in some high action films, could this just be the media source? Also how come under game mode it drastically reduces lag but if u have game mode and ullm on it will increase lag?
What glitching are you seeing?
@@SaabUnleashed for example in one of the trailers for top gun maverick of 4K uhd on CZcams where the jet rolls away from the camera there is tons of glitching or on extraction 2 in intense scenes there was loads of lag and stuttering in high intense scenes but after loads more testing I think it might be a combination of the Pc being used as multimedia playback (not ideal) and Denon 4310 amp (which currently has a broken hdmi board and only allows sound in) is being driven through another port in the gpu causing these issues. The game mode and ulllm issue I still have no idea about, it seems to be a projector issue
The hdrs probably more capable if you recorded this in hdr
Don't fancy buying a new camera for that haha
Thanks for the review, but dude, you really have to hit the gym.
