You would basically be buying this off a promotional video, plus some excited looking influencer reviews.

Dithered 4K seems to be broadly accepted by the AV community though? XPR chips are being used by just about everyone, to the point that "true" 4K projectors are actually a small minority of the 4K models available (does anyone but Sony do them?).
Most professional reviewers seem to say that the difference between XPR and true 4K is either imperceptible, or that the difference isn't worth the higher cost to entry.
Whether that's because they mostly use the projectors for low frame-rate content, like 24fps cinema and 60fps video content, I don't know.
It would be interesting to see how well they hold up with higher frame rate content, like video games.

Imperceptible, impossible; not worth the cost, very much possible. But then projectors are rarely "worth the cost" since panels are so cheap now.
Yes their opinion may also be limited by source content and the old HDMI specs.
