AWOL Vision LTV-3000 Pro review

The LTV-3000 Pro is AWOL's older model, and age has done its price a favor: $1,699 on November 13, 2026, against a $2,999 list price. For that you get a true RGB triple laser with no color wheel, 107% of BT.2020, Dolby Vision and HDR10+, active 3D, motorized focus and a picture up to 150 inches. AWOL even publishes its input lag honestly: 15 ms at 4K/60, 8 ms at 1080p/120 in Turbo mode. The catch is what dates it: 2,000 ISO lumens, Android 9 instead of Google TV, and a 12-month warranty.

Often it is the smartest one. The LTV-3000 Pro was a $2,999 projector; the laser engine, the lens and the color haven't aged. Three separate lasers still give 107% of BT.2020, there is no color wheel to produce rainbow flashes, and Dolby Vision is on board. What newer models added is brightness and software, not color.

So ask yourself two questions. Do you watch mostly after dark? Then 2,000 ISO lumens on a 100 to 120-inch screen is enough, and you just saved $1,300. Do you mind plugging a stick into HDMI for your apps? AWOL bundles a Fire TV stick precisely because the built-in Android 9 is old. If both answers suit you, this is No. 2 of 4 in our ranking of UST projectors under $2,000 for good reasons.

Same $1,699 on the day we checked, two different characters. The MIRA Pro is the modern one: 3,000 ISO lumens, Google TV, automatic alignment, a 2-year warranty, 11.7 lb. The AWOL is the big-screen one: it reaches 150 inches where XGIMI stops at 120, it does 3D, it states a native contrast (2,500:1), and it prints its 4K/60 input lag.

For a living room, take the XGIMI. For a darkened den with a 120 or 130-inch screen and a shelf of 3D discs, the AWOL still makes its case. The details are in XGIMI MIRA Pro vs AWOL LTV-3000 Pro.

AWOL's product page doesn't list the box contents. It does say a Fire TV stick is added to the order; check that it is still in your cart when you buy.

It is the heaviest sub-$2,000 model here: 26.5 lb, 23.6 inches wide and 13.9 inches deep. With a 0.25:1 throw ratio, the lens plane sits about 21.8 inches from the screen for 100 inches and 26.1 inches for 120, so you need a deep console or a pull-out tray. Place it, use the motorized focus and the 8-point keystone only for small corrections, then plug the Fire TV stick into an HDMI port.

For another picture size, our throw distance calculator works out the gap between lens and screen for the LTV-3000 Pro.

A screen and maybe a deeper console. On November 13, 2026 AWOL sold the LTV-3000 Pro with a 100-inch matte white screen for $1,799, or with a 120-inch lenticular Cinematic ALR screen for $3,199. The $100 matte screen is a bargain for a dark room; for any ambient light, the ALR bundle is the one to price. Shipping is free.

Per 1,000 lumens claimed, that is $850: the figure our tie-break uses when two projectors land on the same score. The screen bundle is on AWOL Vision's bundle page.

Each criterion is marked from the figure AWOL Vision publishes; anything it doesn't publish gets the lowest mark. The weighted result is placed on our 7.5 to 9.6 scale. The scales and the weights are on our methodology page.

$1,699 on AWOL Vision's own US store on November 13, 2026. Black Friday price on AWOL's store on November 13, 2026; AWOL lists $2,999 as the regular price.

One step up, the Formovie Cinema Edge is $1,799 for 8.1/10. We link to the brand's store because that is where we read the price and the stock.

The two closest in price: XGIMI MIRA Pro ($1,699, 9.5/10) and Formovie Cinema Edge ($1,799, 8.1/10). Put all three side by side.

Head-to-heads: XGIMI MIRA Pro vs AWOL Vision LTV-3000 Pro, AWOL Vision LTV-3000 Pro vs Formovie Cinema Edge.
