The BenQ MH530FHD arrived, it is better. A LOT better.

Fan is still Loud by my uneducated reckoning, but not LOUD like the ABOX A6. It kinda vanishes from prominence while watching/listening to video content.

Picture quality is friggin' AMAZING!!

Colours are strong and smooth, brightness is fine with all of the room lights on, but contrast is much better in dim light typical of a home theater setup.

Oddly, with the ABOX I suffered slight motion queasiness watching stuff with the screen size set more than about 80" diagonal. No such issue with the BENQ -- 100" diagonal is just fine with my inner ear. Dunno why they differ, but they do.

I haven't had opportunity to try it in daylight yet, but there's no doubt it will be watchable then.

More later, after I work out the best projector and screen placements here.

Cheers
