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.

Great product. I have had it now for 9 months with no issues. Crystal clear picture. I would definitely recommend.

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.

Excellent picture quality, very bright and sharp. I use my projector in a room with some windows in the basement and picture is perfect during the day.

Easy setup and it works well out of the box. My setup includes: AWOL VISION LTV-3000 Pro 4K 3D Ultra Short Throw Triple Laser Projector AWOL VISION 150-inch Projector Screen Fixed Frame, 1.3 dB Peak Gain AWOL VISION IC-A150 Motorized Slider Tray for Ultra short throw(UST) projector Marantz SR8015 11.2 Channel (140 Watt x 11) 8K Ultra HD AV Receiver with 3D Audio HEOS I couldn't be happier with the AWOL LTV-3000. Viewability is excellent during the day and exceptional from the afternoon to evening. With the Flat White screen and the projector, the images are very bright. You can really see the brightness during the startup sequence. As a side note, please remember that black will not be as dark if there is too much ambient light. Light produced by this projector easily 'overpowers' ambient light and creates a clear image. This projector produces crisp, sharp, and very bright images. There are digital focus controls, and the feet on the bottom of the projector can be raised or lowered about 1 inch or so to square up the image as needed. Projector placement is critical. Patience is required to obtain the best physical and digital adjustments to fill your viewing area. I only use the projector features of this unit. There are other features, including built-in sound and a Firestick that I don't need or use. I replaced my 75" TV with this setup.

This replaced an Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8350 1080p Projector and old/cheap 90" screen (replaced with AWOL 100" ALR screen). It's in the basement which has a few windows but is very light controlled and this thing is BRIGHT! And the picture is AMAZING. Everything is so clear. It's currently sitting on top of my original AV furniture which is too tall, so I'm not getting the full 100" image, but it's centered and perfect for now. If I'm able to modify the current furniture or build something new, I'll dial it in 100% to fit the frame at another time. I've watched my first ever 3D movie (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 1) and it's really neat. I don't think I'd want to always watch things in 3D but it's cool once in a while. My center channel speaker is sitting directly in front of the projector which is blocking the IR port on the projector. I bought a cheap IR extender and that fixed the problem instantly. I registered my projector with AWOL and was eventually contacted by support out of the blue to see how things were going. Joel was VERY helpful as I had a few questions about things and he answered everything immediately. I'm VERY happy with this purchase, and the support I've received. It was a BIG purchase for me financially but it was worth every penny. If you're on the fence and reading this, just buy it.

Very nice projector, excellent quality image, and sound quality is very good. I use a surround though, but the sound is pretty good from the projector. Mine was pretty easy to setup. Size was as described. Functionality is alright, when I moved it to the projector stand, it doesn't turn on with the remote. The remote literally works for everything else, but turning it on. I'm not sure why. I got it when it was on sale for $2200.

Excelente produto. Foi caro, mas vale a pena.

Très bonne machine la sensation est incroyable ont se croirait au cinéma le seul défaut c'est le jour c pas fameux avec clarté sur ps5 c'est très bon le 3D excellent ajusté sur écran à cé difficile moi sa me satisfait merci

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.
