      I think from this thread and the last one, the general consensus is:

      People who have never owned a projector before, only big screen TVs: This is amazing!

      People who have owned a projector before: Not as good as other projectors you can get in this price range, despite the laser tech

    • Janko on 01/03/2018 - 18:29

      This will be better with ambient light and you'll be replacing the Optoma's lamps 5+ times in this one's lifespan.

      Do you have any experience with other projectors in the same price bracket? Would like to know how they compare, even if it is a bit like comparing apples and oranges (super short throw).

      • dextr3k on 28/02/2018 - 23:25

        No sorry, projectors were never an option because I am in an apartment. Its really vibrant and looks gorgeous. But I cant give any concrete proof.

        • Morien on 01/03/2018 - 15:21

          Very good point. I guess the price isn’t the draw, it is the throw.

      • alabatusa on 01/03/2018 - 11:35

        I have both this and a pt-ae8000

        8000 is better, but not by much in terms of picture quality. This wickedly good projector for price and the UST factor makes it easy to set up.
        Which for me is usually tbiggest hassle.

        i don't notice any rainbow affect on my xiaomi

        • Morien on 01/03/2018 - 15:22

      • dextr3k on 01/03/2018 - 12:44

        No issues if it’s lights in the house. But if you have sunlight shining on the projected image, no projector is going to stand up to that.

    • windrc on 01/03/2018 - 17:53

    How does gst that is levied against imported goods work? Are you able to claim it back if you take this overseas?

    • ATreeFiddy on 01/03/2018 - 11:13

      The easy answer is it's probably not worth it! Customs legislation has provisions for claiming a Drawback, whereby Customs/Import Duty (not GST!) can be claimed back where goods are imported and subsequently exported. There are conditions around the Drawback scheme though, and really its targeted at Exporters/business rather than individuals.

      TRS probably won't help as you need a tax invoice from an Australian retailer as part of its conditions.

      Some more info at the bottom of this page if interested ->
      https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/trav/impo/buyi

    • Janko on 01/03/2018 - 18:34

      A lot of hassle and not worth it. Major paperwork required on claiming back either one of GST or import duty, and the other one wasn't refundable (can't recall but post above says GST is the one not refundable, and I likely would have failed as an individual by the sounds of it). This was for return of unopened goods too. Thought that was a bit of scam by the gov actually.

      Nor of course were AQIS $33 and another $50 handling I had slapped on refundable.

  • jtc13 on 01/03/2018 - 00:21

    Ok - so I bought this off the last deal - seriously great machine - yes it cost $2450 after the import duties and taxes but I have a Great Wall to project on and this is freaking awesome. It took a bit of fiddling to put the English language stuff on but realistically you don’t need it any way. Currently I am projecting at 120 inches directly onto my living room wall. Yes it shows some imperfections in the wall and yes for some reasons the top left corner does not display at right angles but… once you start watching something you are never looking there any way so you don’t notice it.

    I love this machine and when we watch movies it is like having gold class at home. We watch most tv through Foxtel and it is great. Full HD is better but I don’t pay extra for it… although the picture is seriously good any way. We have played Xbox on it as well and it is great.

    Very happy with my purchase.

    i have had mine a few weeks now and its amazing
    i got stung on import tax but litb paid half.
    cash rewards 5% back
    so i was an out of pocket about $100 for the tax

    quality is really good …….yes its not 4k but its freking 120", playing games on it is unreal. next to no lag btw.
    its clear and crisp and handles daylight really well

    i watch fta through xbone and its fine, sd channels can look a bit rubbish at times so big but its a trade off.

    a few initial teething problems getting the hdmi switching to do what i wanted but found a second menu and its talking nicely to my amp.

    TLDR: There are better projectors out there.

    Just be aware that this projector is only capable of ~1200lm ANSI (worse than many other projectors on the market).
    Xiaomi has played a trick when advertising. Their 5000lm is referring to the light source (laser), but in reality only around a third ends up on the screen/wall.
    This has already been covered and criticized by a number of reviews from Chinese media. (eg. Link) Flain from whirlpool has also mentioned this.

    FYI, input lag ~88ms (source)

          These guys seem to have major logistics issues, ordered a OnePlus 5T phone that was "Guaranteed to dispatch in less than 24 hours"… Days later I checked for a tracking number and noticed it has not even dispatched!, opened a support case and was told it "will be shipped out within 48 hours" (OzBargin contact "MiniInTheBox" helped get the order out for me which was good but as a company, these guys seem like a bit of a joke!)

          I'm still waiting for DHL tracking to come online it's been around 3 days and still nothing! Only tracking is currently via some 4px service who apparently pass it onto DHL (how long that takes no one knows)…'

          Overall unhappy with this mob's logistics, especially as this is suppose to be their fastest "Expedited Express" shipping method!

          Just a warning if you are in a hurry for any goods don't waste your money with the top shipping level and perhaps even consider purchasing from another source all together!
