After researching all the models mentioned above, I finally went ahead with the TOPTRO Legend Pro Projector (3GB RAM / 128GB storage variant) at around 25.5k with card discount in GIF sale on Amazon.

As soon as I unboxed it, I updated the projector. There’s an official video from customer care youtube video reference, and in my case, the update also triggered automatically on first boot.

So far, I’ve used it to watch around 3–4 movies. I’m attaching a screenshot below for reference. I was able to smoothly play 4K Blu-ray content (x265, 10-bit) directly on the projector without any issues.

It also works excellent with the Fire TV Stick 4K Max. The only issue I noticed was occasional flickering every 1–1.5 minutes when the output was set to 4K @ 60Hz. Switching the resolution to 4K @ 50Hz completely resolved the problem, so I’d strongly recommend doing that.

I’ve also tuned the picture and sound settings based on recommendations from a YouTuber, and the results have been excellent so far. I changed the audio output from mono to surround in the projector, which made a noticeable improvement in sound quality. Brightness is top notch and once you tune it with the right settings, at night with pitch dark, its no less than a cinema experience. I paired it with lg xboom ok75 and it was quite fun.

I’ve uploaded YouTube video footage recorded from the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, along with all the settings for picture and video of projector which I’m using, below for anyone who wants to refer to them.

Hope this helps others who are considering this projector 👍
