(Update) A year later! I got a new PC (4060 ti / i7) which sorted the mouse lag, i was hasty to blame the projector when it was actually my laptop. The Cosmos is my main PC screen now.
Not noticed any lag for daily gaming. With the right settings, the consoles look a treat too (PS5/Switch) on a huge screen (100inch at a distance of 3m). Not as good as an Oled panel but genuinely not far off in a low lit room.
I also sussed you can skip the janky android OS by flicking straight to HDMI - the remote isn't that bad once you get used to it and you also have the additional controls on the unit.
I hook this up to an IPad for garden films (which is brilliant on a propper screen) I also use a splitter with 2 duo bluetooth connectors for wireless headset connection (Airpods etc) which saves hassling the neighbours!
Upgraded to 5 stars....and for the current price i'd give it a 6!
I looked at the SE but not sure its of the same quality as the OG unit. It has some tech bumps and QoL features but when i see SE... I think apple...
-----------Old review-----------
Its a great device. Even better on deal. The picture is amazing, even on a bright day with curtains open - much much better when you darken the room though.
Cons - the rubbish OS thats built in, requires signing in to a google account.... wether you have one or not, no option to skip - so will lock you out of the smart features if you dont set one up (like netflix etc). Also, the remote and functionality is janky and slow. Buttons wont work when you press them but the option will allow when pressed on the device itself.
Theres lag on PC for gaming, very noticeable when using a mouse even with the settings configured (game mode and refresh rate etc)
Slightly noticeable using PS5 but nothing game ending. I wouldn't use it for comp play. You may have better luck fiddling with the settings but i think im quite savvy with tech. The picture quality was great but not even close to a quality oled so dont expect pixel perfect sharpness.
The auto focus and stuff is a gift, makes setup quite quick when you get going. The built in speaker isnt bad....its hardly big and powerful enough to notice the atmos stuff but it does the job. Looking forward to getting it in the garden for outdoor summer movie nights!
