The Formovie Theater projector does pretty well in rooms with some ambient light, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Our research shows that while it's designed for impressive 4K resolution and vibrant colors, like most projectors, a lot of light in the room can still affect the quality a bit.

The cool thing is, because it uses laser technology, it's brighter and more color accurate compared to non-laser projectors. This helps in maintaining a decent viewing experience even if there's some light around. The manufacturer does highlight its ability to keep images vivid, which is handy in moderately lit spaces.

To really get the best picture quality, though, it's ideal to control the light in the room. You might want to use blackout curtains or find a room that's naturally a bit darker. This'll help you see those bright colors and sharp details the projector can offer.

If your room tends to be on the brighter side and adjusting the lighting isn't an option, you could consider getting an ambient light-rejecting (ALR) screen. These are great at reducing the effects of excess light and can really help this projector shine even in less-than-perfect settings.

So, while the Formovie Theater can hang in different lighting conditions, for the best, most cinema-like experience, tweaking the room's lighting would be a good move.
