UPDATE: with my CLR screen from elite screens this thing is totally changed. I was skeptical so spending another 1500 on a screen but it made all the difference. Light or dark I love watching it. I often actually prefer watching at night with a lamp on which amazes me. In short with the right screen 5 stars, without 3 stars.
I wasn't sure what to expect for my first UST projector, but the p2 so far has been a good experience overall. I'm pretty picky with image quality and was on the fence for weeks about a 77 OLED vs the projector.
I'm using a matte white screen with 1.2 gain atm until my CLR screen arrives so I'm holding off on final judgement. In the dark room environment I'm generally pleased with it and there are definitely scenes where it's stunning and HDR comes to life. Shows like Emily in Paris really highlight it's stong output and HDR.
In daylight or low lighting it's pretty much a non starter with my white screen. Just not though light to create enough contrast.
However, I'm just not quite sold on its black level performance. Maybe due to my white screen, but when I'm seeing scenes with a pretty flat contrast variance, like in doors with lights, it can take on a muddy washed out look. Surprisingly in very dark mostly black scenes I tend to be less bothered.
No gaming yet so will defer judgement on lag. The software that comes with it is a joke so get a fire stick and don't bother complaining. The speaker is actually quite impressive and has been a real delighter, though don't plan to use it long term. Better than any LCD TV I had.
Overall I'll defer final call until my Aeon Starbright 120 inch screen arrives. From everything I researched it's pretty much required to get the right contrast levels. I'm a little nervous as to what it may do to the brightness though with a 0.6 gain. For the record I did try a CineGray screen as well with not not much luck. It did improve contrast over white but ended up feeling too dark.
Lastly in terms space configuration, be sure to have about 32 inches of tv stand depth. I have it running on the floor atm. Considering the screen is projected 12 inches above the projector for a 120 inch screen, your rather limited on console height unless you want your screen very high on the wall. Couple that with center channel placement and you definitely have some critical problem solving at hand.
Will update and add video once the CLR arrives.

Getting the picture to fit on the screen was a challenge, had to buy furniture that was only 12" from surface to floor. The grid with the corner handles is your friend for fine adjustments. Picture quality is very good, brightness and black levels are really good (I have a Samsung HDTV and this projector beats that all the way on black levels, not quite OLED TV level black colors but still really good). The interface and app support are klunky but manageable. I use a Roku for streaming so all my remote use is on the Roku, I only use the device remote to turn it on. If you don't get 4K quality check your connection speed (if it's not fast enough you can't even choose the HDR modes - they are grayed out). I use the browser in the app section to check download speeds. Sound quality from the built in speakers is also very good. They missed some design cues - the legend/symbols over the LED lights on the device are impossible to make out. But after all of that, it was really delivering great picture quality and sound for an immersive experience.
Then I downloaded a firmware upgrade and it said applying update and went dark - I had no idea what was going on except one of the LEDs was red. Left it overnight, and tried to restart the following morning and it would not restart. Called customer service and received a bin file (with same upgrade) that I put on a thumb drive and plugged it in to the projector. It still wouldn't work, the LEDs came on and flashed and then went to steady red. Sent it to them and they said the equivalent of the motherboard was not working. So I am getting a new projector now. Kevin Mackie was excellent, courteous and professional in handling my request from start to finish. Can't say enough good things about him.
I will update this review once I get the new one and get to enjoy it for a bit longer.
6/19 - Update
I have had the new replacement for a while now, really happy with this purchase. The picture is stunning in my set up dark walls, no/very low natural light. I have a purchased a custom made cover as well, you will need that if your projector sits out in the open (costs about $30).

I purchased this projector from Amazon after reading and watching as many reviews as possible. After a long wait, I received this last week as it was not in the market for sometime. I was considering purchasing the VAVA projector, but decided to go for Optoma as it is a company dedicated to producing projectors only. I knew that I needed an ALR UST screen for this projector, so I purchased a PET screen from XYscreen from China before receiving the projector.Reviewed in Canada on December 24, 2019
I have watched a few movies so far and the quality of the projection is stunning. The pictures are very bright, sharp and colourful on the screen. I have set this projector in my media room upstairs in my home which has a lot of sunlight during the day, The results are amazing even during day time on the PET screen. I haven’t tried the 3D capability yet, but I am hoping it will be excellent. My kids have tried a few games using their PS4, and they are happy with its performance. The built-in speakers are amazing as it gives enough quality sound for my media room.
The only critic I have about this projector is that the built-in apps are not that great. I expect that Optoma will do a software updates in the future for apps with 4k resolution. I was having an issue with setting up the image on my screen due to the height of the stand that I was using for the projector, but was able to get it resolved by using a shorter stand.
I am overall beyond satisfied with this projector and I highly recommend this projector as it is definitely worth its price tag.
