Verdict

The Ultimea Apollo P40 is a native 1080p LCD projector that supports 4K decoding and HDR10, delivering a bright 700 ANSI lumens with an impressive 80% brightness uniformity and a 12,000:1 contrast ratio. Key features include a fully sealed, dustproof optical engine for longevity, dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4/5GHz), Bluetooth 5.0, and 10W DSP-enhanced speakers. Its main pros are the convenient 3-second autofocus, 6D auto-keystone correction, and a 360° all-angle remote that simplify setup for screens up to 150 inches. However, some cons include a basic operating system that lacks native streaming apps like Netflix, no motorized zoom, and potential focus softing at the edges if the projector is positioned too far off-centre.
