Our take
This NEC projector is a powerhouse. With 5200 lumens, it's bright enough for well-lit rooms, and the 4K 3D support is impressive for movies and gaming. The 120 Hz refresh rate and 4 ms response time make it surprisingly responsive for a projector, though you'll need a compatible source to take advantage. The input selection is vast, including legacy VGA and DVI. Downsides: it's bulky and fan noise is noticeable. Also, native resolution is 5120x2160, but it's not true 4K at 100%? Still, for a projector, it's excellent.
