In ambient light, the suitable size is 150 inches in Bright mode, and smaller still for the modes with better color accuracy. As a practical matter, for formal testing in a dark room, Cinema mode was easily bright enough for a 90-inch image on a 1.0-gain white screen. In a family room with windows, it was bright enough to fill an 80-inch screen with nicely saturated color for nighttime viewing with lights on, or for daytime viewing on a rainy day.

The only other connectors are a 3.5mm audio out port and a USB-A connector that can only be used for powering an HDMI streaming dongle.

Game Display Mode provides a visual advantage by boosting shadows and dark scenes for greater visibility of impending obstacles.Vivid and Game modes are both brighter than Cinema, making them good choices for well-lit settings such as a room with lots of sunny windows. But dark scenes didn't have the same level of contrast or shadow detail as they did in Cinema mode, and color wasn't as accurate. For most projectors, the brightening effect of Game mode can help gamers spot objects or targets lurking in the shadows. But when I tested the HD146X, I found that the shadow detail and contrast in Cinema mode was good enough to serve this purpose—and, unlike Game mode, it kept all of the scene's dramatic visual impact.
