AV Access HDMI 2.0 ARC Extender over HDBaseT (4KEX70-ARC-H2)
4K video over a single Cat cable, with audio return over the same run. ARC, optical, and analog audio back, bi-directional IR, and one power adapter running both units.

Nothing Projector 120" Matte White Motorized Floor Rising Screen
A 120 inch screen that rises out of its case for movie night and disappears the rest of the time. Flat tab tensioned surface, strong dark room picture, and smart controls. The one downside is the weight.

AV Access HDMI 2.0 Matrix Switch 4x2 (4KMX42-H2A)
Four HDMI sources routed independently across two displays, with audio extraction, ARC, and automatic 4K to 1080p downscaling. The fix for projectors that run out of ports.

XGIMI Horizon 20 Max
The flagship step up from the Horizon S Max: optical zoom, lens shift, Google TV, and brightness that holds up with the lights on. My completed bedroom setup.

Tested, Not Paraphrased
These are not spec sheet summaries. Each product gets set up and used the way you would use it, with real projectors, in a real room, lights on and lights off. Downsides get written up along with the highlights, because that is what a review is for.
New reviews are added as testing finishes. If you want a product checked against your exact room before you buy, a consultation is the fastest way to get that.
