I have tested this out on a large white wall in my living room, and have watched about 20 hours of content at the time of writing this review so I feel I have gotten quite familiar with this projector.
Firstly, this provides an excellent picture quality for less than half the price of comparable competitors. The picture is seriously bright. The only time it struggled was in strong sunlight, and the blacks became a bit washed out. In a dark room the brightness lights up the entire room even at around 30% brightness. The details are great, and there is no noticeable lag. I noticed rainbowing in only two scenes throughout the 20 hours of watching.
Even when watching standard definition content, the device does an exceptional job if not looking soft or pixelated.
It is easy to adjust the size of the throw, and the angle of the device. Focusing is simple and smooth. The only adjustment issue was when standing on a flat surface - there are adjustable feet on the bottom that in theory allow you to angle the projector, but these are oddly placed and only on three corners, not four, which means you have to prop up the projector when it tips to the side.
There are two negatives I can think of, and these are more in relation to using projectors instead of TVs in general, and not specifically to this model. Just thought I should mention it as they are the most obvious issues to me.
One, the sound quality is way off what you would be used to with a regular TV. Even comparing to my 10 year old Samsung TV, the sound is tinny. You also need to consider that the sound comes from the projector unit, which is behind you, whilst the picture is in front of you. This is an odd experience. Basically, be prepared to add a decent set of speakers to your budget, and figure out how you are going to wire them.
Two, this thing gets hot, which means it gets loud. The cooling fan is constantly on, and whilst it is nice that it doesn't speed up and slow down like on other models which sound like traffic noise, it takes some getting used to. I would be inclined to investigate whether there is a way to exchange the fan for a more silent PC fan that doesn't whir like a hairdryer.
EDIT:
Updating my review after trying to replace my TV with this unit full time. Gone from 5 to 2 stars. The deal breaker? You can't play 4K content from a Fire TV stick. It just says that the projector doesn't support 4K. Have seen a few other people mention the same and see no workaround. No point in using this as a daily device if it doesn't support 4K.

Having read some of the reviews on here saying it doesn't support 4k and it's noisy I have to wonder if we are using the same projector. My projector is very quiet I barely notice it and it supports all the 4k content I have thrown at it. I am currently using nvidia shield tv to run YouTube and Netflix and Amazon prime and it runs them all fabulously in 4k. The picture quality is stunning and I just purchased a 4k blu-ray player and that looks amazing. This is a great projector at a good price and I have absolutely no regrets with my purchase.
