Mind blown ... 3 weeks…

Our family used to be moderate theater movie watchers. We would go at least twice a month. Now many new movies are being released online at the same time as in theaters.
I was looking a similar product at around $14,000. I was ready to go big. But when I started comparing specs I found out that the Hisense 120L5F was offering the same 120" experience at a better price with 200 more lumens at $4,999. I took the plunge and now let me start with my review.
The screen set up is challenging but my kids did it so it wasn't too bad. Watch our install video. After the screen setup, this is where the Hisense 120L5F starts to shine.
The picture quality is very good at HD quality on Netflix. I like a lot of old films so HD is what I watch the most. But lots of new stuff on Netflix is 4kUHD (Ultra High Definition). And when you watch the 4k stuff it blows you away. It is so sharp. Our family watched 4K UHD content from Amazon Prime and HBO/Max also. It really is amazingly how clear it is.
Next you'll notice is how good the projector sounds. It's very crisp, accurate, and clean. However, for those that want that booming base, you will have to buy a supplementary sub-woofer. It also comes with and audio delay if you really want to dial in a perfect lip sync. But I didn't need it. Even at 30 feet away, the lip sync was accurate enough for me.
You can watch it in the daytime and that took me buy surprise. The screen absorbs the projector light well and tends to reflect outside light. There was a review on the 100" version of this screen that talked about the technology behind the how the screen reflects daylight. But I don't remember how. I just like that it works.
It's a short throw so you will only need 15" away from the wall. So, you don't need a lot of space to set up the projector and at 15" away from the wall, people won't be walking in front of it and creating those classic annoying projector shadows.
Our family also games so this is perfect for 3rd person or top down gaming. I got dizzy playing first person shooters like Valorant and Overwatch at 120" but had no difficulty playing 3rd person zombie games like Dead Rising 4 or a top down game like League of Legends.
We are using three of the HDMI ports: XBOX one, and two PC's
We've had the projector for three weeks and have multiple people binging and gaming at different times of the day. We are definitely heavy users and are enjoying our Hisense.
