AWOL VISION LTV-3000 Pro 4K 3D Ultra Short Throw Triple Laser Projector, Dolby Vision & Atmos, HDR10+, 150" UST Laser TV Home Theater Projector

For years, I have told myself to not buy (anymore of) the bleeding edge technology gadgets. The AWOL LTV 3000 Pro falls into the bleeding edge category, but I still purchased one anyway. I did this after checking a bunch of YouTube reviews of the AWOL LTV Pro series. Generally, the reviews left me a sense of lacking (as with other projector reviews). Pays your money, takes your chances. Upon powering up the LTV 3000, my initial reaction was abruptly favorable. The projected video on a cream colored wall was very good. I recently added a 100 inch ALR screen which made the picture even better. Accuracy, focus, color aberrations, contrasts are wonderful. Fonts were remarkable. Color rendition is outstanding (either from streaming or from a Panasonic Blu Ray player). Of course, a darken the room helps. Out of the box, the internal speakers were dreadful sounding. Finding the equalization and tone controls on the remote mostly solved the situation (adjusting to boost the high frequencies). Normally, I use the optical digital audio output to my HiFi system so these adjustments are not relevant. There are 3 HDMI ports available. One is sort of dedicated to a streaming stick which can be hidden in a recessed area in the back of the unit. A cover is provided to hide the stick and local wires. A Firestick seems to work fine, Roku needs to have its WiFi long range wire extended. It would have been nice if AWOL provided some holes thru the cover for wire access. There are 2 USB ports, however I have not used or tested them. There is also a video component input. I do miss not having an over the air TV tuner. The HDMI ports all work fine, both with streaming and Blu Ray players. Just as you should expect from modern HDMI systems. The video component input presented to me an opportunity for a time warp to the past. My Super Beta HiFi worked great as a video source. Picture was good. Sound was good too. However the 4:3 aspect ratio was not preserved (stretched to 16:9). Naturally the old 350 line resolution was not improved. (Note: one can buy elsewhere a converter box that preserves the 4:3.) Most of my viewing has been streaming HD content, no problems, good job here. I had some difficulties with UHD 4K. Either or both the Panasonic DP-UB820 Blu Ray player and the LTV 3000 doesn’t like something. I ended up switching the LTV 3000 inputs while restarting the disc in the player. Problem sometimes occurred just as the user selects “Play” on the disc’s intro screen. Otherwise the UHD display looks fine. I haven’t tried out any of the Dolby options. 3D worked great (using AWOL glasses). But the 3D requires a manual selection on the LTV 3000. The 3D display initially starts up with a double image, one on top of the other until the LTV 3000 gets into it true 3D mode. The main issue for me is that the LTV 3000 automatically exits the 3D mode whereas manual intervention is required to start the 3D mode. A typical 3D disc jumps between 2D and 3D during the intro phase of the disc. (My 12 year old Sharp LCD TV automatically detects 3D and activates same.) 3D performance is quite good, A darken room helps the experience. The things listed above are what can be seen as the pluses. Only one issue needs to be stated. The LTV 3000 has a variable speed cooling fan. Things are quiet at first. Usually as the video proceeds, the fan speeds up (noticeable fan noise is still acceptable). After an hour and half of 4K UHD, the fan seems loud. All in all, if you able to spend the large amount of money, the AWOL LTV 3000 Pro is a buy. Just don’t forget that you can but a couple of 75 inch high end large flat screen TVs for the same amount of money or less than the LTV 3000.

Stunning Picture, Wow, just got this AWOL LTV-3000 Pro set up with their 135-inch matte white screen, and first impressions. The projector itself is seriously impressive. Right out of the box, the colors this thing produces are just insane. Like, better-than-the-movie-theater vibrant. Reds are red, greens are green. It uses three lasers, and you can really tell the difference compared to older projectors. The 4K picture is super sharp and crisp, even on this massive 135" screen. We watched a couple of movies with Dolby Vision, and the depth and detail were just awesome. Being an ultra-short-throw (UST) is also a game-changer. It sits on a regular media console just inches from the wall – no messing with ceiling mounts or running long cables. Huge plus! Setup was pretty easy. It comes with a Fire TV 4K Max stick that slots into a hidden compartment, so all the smart apps and streaming stuff works seamlessly. Oh, and gaming? Plugged in my console, switched it to Turbo mode, and it felt incredibly responsive. Didn't notice any lag, even on faster games. Big win there. The 135-inch screen is HUGE and feels incredibly immersive. When you turn off ALL the lights – and I mean all of them, pitch black basement theater style – the picture projected onto this matte white screen looks fantastic. Colors are great, brightness is even, no complaints. The Combo & My Recommendation is to get it because of active 3D, 3D glasses, Stunning Picture quality and also the remote is great. thank me later. So, the LTV-3000 Pro projector is easily 5 stars. It's brilliant. The matte white screen can be great making it feel like theater at home. Overall, I'm giving the package 5 stars because the projector is phenomenal, combining it with 135 inch Matte White Projector Screen from AWOL vision and 3D glasses was icing on the cake, making it feel like a theater at home.

Recently bought LTV-3000 Pro. Overall happy with it. Reaction so far: Pros: - Beautiful picture and color. Very bright, watchable even with some ambient light and no screen. WIll be getting a screen as soon as I figure out what size I want it to be, probably 120-135 inch. - 3D works and looks good for most part, (but is manual turn on-off and you have to diddle with it every time, see Cons) - very little adjustment necessary for size, it is auto focus. Just make sure both corners of the unit are equidistant from the wall. - DOlby Vision and color look great, as long as you don't choose 'vivid' settings. Cons: - Low refresh rate at 60 Hz max. This is problematic for high motion movies, 3D, and gaming. while you can turn on motion smoothing for TV shows, this is not ideal for movies where you dont want the 'Soap Opera' video effect. - 3D is bare bones. You have to manually enable it and fiddle with the settings (swap right left) every time you watch a basic 3D blueray. Not quite 'Pro' level. Also the low refresh makes action sequences with a lot of camera panning just a big blur. In areas with white colors, you get a rainbow effect during movement. Still, it is 'mostly' acceptable, just not awesome. - Menus are primitive, with little to no explanation of what the settings do, either on screen or even in the manual. Aparently you have to go online. Definitely not 'Pro' level. - Gaming is a mixed bag so far. The low refresh rate cuts down responsiveness majorly. There maybe settings tweaks to workaround this, but havent dug into that yet.

Excelente produto. Foi caro, mas vale a pena.

Great picture in moderate lite room

J'ai même donné ma télé samsung à ma fille j'écoute tout avec mon projecteur, télé, film l'image est d'une qualité exceptionnelle en plus je n'ai que le Vision pro 3000 je ne peut m'imaginer avec le Vision pro 3500 peut-être coûteux à l'achat mais ça vaut la peine pour pouvoir regarder des bons films sur un écran de 100" si tu as les moyens n'hésitez pas vous ne serez pas déçu

This projector is awesome for home entertainment and would be a great choice for those with large AND small viewing spaces since you can just move it closer to get a smaller size but I will touch on the smaller size. It delivers clear visuals with crisp detail and great colors. I was blown away that I could see it just as easily in the day as I could with a normal tv without an optional screen. It is very quiet during operation, no annoying fan noise disruptions that you have to raise the volume to cover over. Speaking of volume, it has great sound quality. Very rich which I did not expect out of that at all. As someone who already has a projector, I expected it to be a lot smaller, so I was surprised with the size. It is not small compared to some projectors you can get, but it is pretty compact for what it provides in options and picture quality. It is a pretty sleek design and looks good on the TV stand. I have set it up to try it as an extra pc monitor to look at market charts and also to play movies from my PC. It is fast starting up with no wasted time for the device to initialize and the included remote enhances the overall experience with its fast navigation through menus and settings. While this unit is awesome, given the cost of the unit, it not be the best choice for smaller spaces where a smaller, traditional 4K TV would be more practical, I would say it would be best for very large areas. I myself right now have a smaller space due to renovations and I couldn't use it to its full size yet, and used it closer to the wall that I still have to do over that is pink and has brush strokes, nails, uneven plaster, etc., and it still looked great. I probably would go for this over a tv if it did fit my budget as then I can move it to wherever I want and watch it on the ceiling in bed or on the couch. I do have 3D glasses since I do have a 3D TV, but I cannot find my glasses since the move so I couldn't test those to see if they were compatible or to see what the 3D is like. I didn't expect it to come with a 4K Amazon Fire stick so that was pretty awesome to have included. I have included a still image and a video (removed the sound incase of copyright). There may be flickers but it is the series Fallout which is supposed to look that way and look awesome on it. Keep in mind it is on a pink wall I also have it close to the wall here. I may in the future get their screen to pair with it but I am good even without it. It is a luxury projector is great for those with spacious settings, with great performance, colour and brightness. It's expensive but as a projector, I recommend it but I do think even with its amazing performance, it is still a bit pricy.

Most people seem to be using this for a dedicated home theatre setup and it will work well! But some of the features are specifically designed for a more casual setting and this is where it can truly shine. As much as it is impressive what it can do. It has a few quirks and features missing that I wouldn’t expect from a top tier projector. And only 1 year warranty (+1 year extended warranty) is somewhat concerning. SETUP It’s ultra short throw so you can quite easily set it up in any room. You don’t have to worry about a spot far from the wall to place it, you just put it right on the floor at the base of the wall just make sure it’s big enough! The image settings do allow for rear projection and ceiling mounting, but this thing is HUGE so the latter may prove more difficult. The image goes as small as 50in however the closer to the wall you go, the more little bumps, dents and curves in the wall distort the image. Keep in mind there’s also no ability to change the height of the image so your options can become more limited. It truly is an all in one device, with decent sound built in, handy if you’re setting up for a simple movie night. But if you have a fixed setup you will appreciate your own sound system. Unfortunately Bluetooth paring only allows one set of headphones at a time. PACKUP & STORAGE This thing is HUGE. So if you are opting for a temporary setup or at least semi temporary you’re going to have issues storing it. Theres no lens cover and no storage bag or dust cover that comes with it, and the box is approx 2.5 x 1.5 x 1ft! VISUAL QUALITY This projector is quite incredible. The visual quality is truly outstanding. It’s bright enough to use in a well lit room and can be further improved by using an ALR screen. The focus is all controlled digitally which is somewhat a concern in case it fails. The screen it uses to focus is also just some boxes in the corners that don’t give you much visual detail to fine tune it. In a dark room it is incredibly bright and can hurt your eyes initially. I am quite pleased that there is an auto shut off if it detects movement close to the device that should serve well to protect young but inquisitive eyes. SMART FUNCTIONALITY I love that it doesn’t use its own proprietary smart TV functionality but instead has a little cubby at the back which effectively hides a FireStick. This can be easily replaced over time meaning your smart projector will never become obsolete. It intelligently boots up directly into HDMI-1 where the firestick is located, meaning you don’t have to switch source every time you turn it on. Unfortunately as much as FireTV works, AWOL is not actually a supported brand by FireTv. This means you cannot use your FireTV remote to turn the device on an off, adjust volume or switch input. This may still be possible if you connect the projector to a receiver that is compatible with both AWOL and FireTV. You can connect the projector remote to the FireTV which gives you some control but not all the buttons map across meaning you can never completely get rid of one remote. OVERALL THOUGHTS An impressive device with outstanding visual quality. It can be an all in one device with built in sound for quick setup or a key part of a fixed home theatre. But shorter warranty, difficulty storing, lack of full FireTV integration and other small quirks hold it back from being the top tier device it should be.
