This looks like the LED equivalent to the TK700sti. Definitely nice to see a longer-lasting and more consistent bulb option available. How much longer until 4K native laser projectors reach gaming expectations?

I've been enjoying the TK700sti since last summer. Good projector. A bit noisy and has HDCP 2.2 handshake issues from time to time, but otherwise good. All of the LED and laser alternatives were too slow or low resolution at the time.

I'm skeptical of the 10 years claim on the bulb. But the severe drop in performance at 4k makes that claim irrelevant. Unless I absolutely needed the portability, I'd take the tradeoffs for a gaming-centric OLED like the C1.

This also feels too much like a last hurrah for old tech. Short throw laser and 4k with better performance before I dip into the projector market again. Hopefully by 2023.
