My use case for this wasn't gaming despite this unit being heavily marketed to gamers. I read a review online that placed this unit as the best all-around outdoor/backyard movie projector. I agree, it is, it's FANTASTIC. You can buy projectors with even more brightness (I have seen 6000 lumens for $2,800, but I'm a flashlight nerd and can tell you the difference between this units 3800 lumens and 6000 lumens isn't as much as you think. In other words, the juice isn't worth the squeeze.)
After doing some research I found out that you want a SHORT THROW projector like this one for outdoor inflatable movie screens. The reason for this is because this unit will put up a 120 inch image at just 4 feet! The closer the projector is to the screen, the brighter it is. I paired this with my 20 foot Khomo Gear inflatable movie screen and the results were MAGICAL. We watched Star Wars (A New Hope), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and The Empire Strikes Back. The projector produces beautiful deep blacks and rich blues, greens, and reds. My backyard movie setup has the projector sitting BEHIND my inflatable screen instead of in front of it (it's a 2-way projection screen). Typically this configuration requires more light since the light needs to penetrate through the cloth screen. This projector had zero problems doing this at greater than 15 feet away! It's a legit 3800 lumens and looks really good. You get what you pay for.
Don't believe what people tell you about buying a cheap projector for your backyard movie watching. I bought a GooDee (they measure brightness in lux which is a marketing trick, you need lumens) and was very disappointed with the picture. This is because the GooDee and similar projectors aren't short throw projectors and don't produce the necessary lumens you'll need for a great picture (let alone the resolution). If you want the cheap 1970s drive-in feel, the GooDee is fine, but any nice high definition movie will need a projector of this specification at a minimum to produce an acceptable outdoor image. You can find many projectors that kill this one too, but for the money, I can't recommend it enough.
