Bought this a few days ago for a basement setup, and it is AMAZING! About 8 feet of bright crisp colors. Hooked to a Playstation and am getting really great looking movies and videos and games. No lag to speak of. Sound is disappointing but I knew it would be going in, so be sure you get a sound system of any kind first.

Well I had a lengthy review before I accidentally refreshed the screen... So here is the short version. Ceiling mounted, 8 feet from screen, HDMI sound extractor, and sound bar with woofer. Movies: excellent quality. I've played dvds and bluray from ma PS4, PS5, and Bluray player. 1990s and earlier movies have a certain mechanic graininess to them from how they were originally filmed. Jurassic Park looked like how it did when I saw it in theaters when it came out. Gaming has almost zero latency even with zoom and keystone correction. I've played 10+ different consoles on it. No issues. Currently playing PC on it via Steam. I plays best with 1280x720 because text gets too small for my taste. Sound was a tricky. I prefer gaming with Wi-Fi headphones. I use Linux so HDMI sound is glitchy on the Nvidia GTX 1650 with the 580 driver. Its better to Bluetooth to a sound bar than extract from HDMI on my case. Don't Bluetooth audio while watching movies or of YouTube. The projector gets loud sometimes when brightness is up from running I daytime, specifically morning when the sun hits the windows. The onboard speaker is terrible but it's not ment to be for cinema use. Screen mirroring works great. Use the app. Miracast isnt native on this model. iProjector app is good. Turn off auto-source scanning to clear up disconnect issues if you have an HDMI switch box. Sharpness and brightness is excellent when adjusted correctly.

I've had this H980A for two years and for the it has been great. I was curious if 1080 would be ok at 120" but it is totally fine. I had a low budget and this has surpassed my expectiations. I bought it for movies but I ended up using it daily. Very happy.

ive been using projectors for 2 decades . this one has the best picture quality and is so bright with a lamp on the wall on you still see the screen ! now for the problems ..... hot wow this runs hot ! even on eco the amount of heat pouring out is crazy. on normal its an oven and is stupid loud. i have polk 11 speakers and 6 subwoofers and with projector on normal you can hear the fan no matter what but on eco you can hear the fan but its not bad. the biggest fail is that its not a sealed unit. the amount of dust sucked into it is the big down fall. theres a 1/4 inch of space all the way around the lens so duct is pulled in all the time nonstop . Ill be honest i will buy a new 980 and replace the fan with a noctua flagship, seal it up with foam, connect a 4 inch home to vent with a inline fan out a window then replace the foam filter with a carbon hvac filter .
