The most honest detail in this build is the one that gets mentioned last. Somebody posted their first UST setup over on the projectors board, PX3-Pro into a 120-inch Vividstorm S Pro electric tab-tensioned floor screen, sitting in a Vividstorm Monte Carlo cabinet, with a Samsung HW-Q990F on audio and a Shield Pro, Series X and Switch 2 feeding it. They say the PX3-Pro handles their living room well even with a fair bit of ambient light, and works for both online multiplayer and films. And then, almost as an aside, there is still an older 65-inch Samsung in the room for daytime and casual viewing.
That second TV is the thing nobody puts in the UST sales pitch, and I think it should be. A tri-laser UST into a good floor-rising ALR screen genuinely will hold up with the curtains open, in the sense that you can see everything and enjoy it. It is not the same as a panel at midday and never will be, because the screen is still reflecting whatever the room throws at it. Keeping a TV for breakfast news is not an admission of failure, it is what a lot of us actually end up doing.
The other thing worth noting is that the screen and the cabinet in that list are not accessories, they are a serious chunk of the budget. People price a UST and then discover the ALR floor screen doubles it.
For anyone running a UST as their only display, how long did you last before a second screen appeared in the room?
