    One thing not mentioned in the video is that the TV advertises to you in the menus. For example right now I have an ad for DirectTV Now on the input page, and two new menu options from fandango about renting movies and tv shows. Additionally, the "Smart TV Experience" is enabled by default. This gathers information about what you watch and when you watch it, including data from antenna, streaming channels, and other devices connected to the TV, and sends it to Roku, which could be shared with third parties. Also enabled by default is the option to use info from TV inputs to personalize ads. You can disable Smart TV Experience and TV input info from the menus, and you can limit ad tracking in the menus, but not completely disable it. Guess this is the price of nice cheap 4k TVs.

    Not natively. The projector is the BenQ W1070, and I believe it requires a separate transmitter for it to support wireless. I was looking into this option, but I am mainly worried about wireless interference since the airwaves here are pretty crowded, and I'm not sure about the quality of it, though supposedly is very minimal loss.
     
    Thanks, it took me several weeks to paint this quality piece of art. I would say the distance is around 25-30 ft, which should be fine for 1080p60 for HDMI. I thought about doing the direct connection to the projector and skip the receiver, but it would be much more difficult to hide the wire coming from upstairs and would need to figure out how to connect to the surround sound system.
