Verdict

The Aurzen Boom 3 is a feature-rich smart projector delivering native 1080p resolution with 4K decoding and 500 ANSI lumens of brightness. Key characteristics include an integrated 36W sound system with Dolby Audio, bidirectional Bluetooth 5.2, and a smart OS pre-certified for Netflix and Prime Video. It excels with AI-driven autofocus, 6D auto-keystone correction, and a 50% to 100% digital zoom for versatile positioning. Main pros include its exceptional built-in audio quality, rapid automated setup, and impressive picture clarity at screen sizes up to 100 inches. Notable cons include significant fan noise reaching up to 60 dB, potential corner vignetting, and a reduction in image sharpness when projecting beyond a 120-inch screen size.
