To be honest, in terms of ADLP 3.0 projectors, you witness the best built here with the most appealing appearance. The pure glossy black and gold color contrast are simply perfect and alluring. Moreover, for a softer approach, the edges are curved. More importantly, there’s the iconic gold metal power button at the front center and a gold metal plate with ‘4K Laser Home Cinema Projector’ embedded on it.
