The Verdict.
9.7/ 10
Gavler Meta-Score
“The color purist's projector. If you care more about DCI-P3 accuracy than raw lumens, the W5800's factory calibration saves you hundreds in professional calibration fees and delivers results most home projectors never achieve. Just know it assumes you already have the rest of the theater built.”
