  • HDMI 2.0 and Wi-Fi 5 are older standards than the newest ones.

Verdict

Laser light, 2000 ANSI lumens and a picture up to 150 inch make the AWOL Vision LTV-3000 Pro a projector for a living room that is not fully dark. Its built-in speakers put out 36 W, and at 27 dB it stays quiet enough not to bother anyone during a film. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and Dolby Atmos for the newest picture and sound. Android is built in, so streaming apps need no extra box, and 15 ms of input lag keeps fast games responsive. The trade-off is size: at 9.5 kg and 599 mm wide, it belongs on a shelf or mount, not in a bag. It suits a home cinema fan who wants a bright, quiet laser projector with its own sound, and who has a fixed spot for it.
