the one thing about ultra short throw is that they are ideally projected on a perfectly flat surface. Any waves in your screen or wall or sheet or whatever your projecting on will be very magnified because of the extreme angle of incident. In my opinion, ultra short throws work best with fixed projection screens, a smooth flat wall, or possibly a drop screen that is tab tensioned and not inexpensive pulldown screens or a fabric sheet or wavy sheetrock/plaster even wall texture could be trouble.

I have a 77" OLED and a 120" UST.

No one cares about the OLED after they see the projector.

Your opinion is incorrect here

Quote from usubhash :
Projectors are such a fad. The TVs and the sizes have caught up with 86" going for around $1500 with 120HZ and good quality. The TVs also come with a good warranty and last longer with less hassle. It's so easy to get them to work with HDMI 2.1 and all other latest stuff. They also work in varied light environments. They also do a good job at upscaling non-4k content videos.

Overall, I tried a 4k UST projector and felt it's not worth the money compared to say 86" TV worth around $1500.

If you get the same experience from a 150" vs 86" screen sitting at 10 ft away, you are an enlightened one. Enough said.

Quote from hardrock121 :
do i really need to buy an alr screen? I have a regular elite screen from amazon i m using for my current projector and it works fine.
Same question here. Is an ALR screen a "must have" for UST or just "nice to have"? With my current 1080p regular projector, I directly project to a wall and it seems ok to me. A 120" ALR screen costs about another $2k, which seems too much for a screen. If that's a must for a UST projector, then probably I'll pass.

I dunno, I have a 150" screen with sony es45 projector in theater room which has no windows and 65" cx....both are great but if you want actual picture quality, can't beat the OLED. I don't know how well projectors handle HDR. Both have positives but if i only had one choice it would be OLED.

This or a 77 inch OLED for my basement? I am ok with spending upto $3000 and can get zero ambient lighting in the basement and have a whole empty wall that i can use to project stuff. Please help.

I want good blacks because literally every movie and TV show has a lot of dark scenes.
Dude, are you me? I have the exact same question. Any feedback from folks would be awesome!

I have the VAVA version of this - and it rocks. Pair it with a screen made for UST projectors and you will have a hard time going back to a puny TV ever again. I have a 120" X-Y screen... between the projector and screen, it was about $3,000.

I wouldn't trade this for an OLED setup. The same $$ would not get me an OLED that's anywhere near that size.
Appreciate the feedback here. Do you game at all? If so, how do you like it on your VAVA UST?

This is insane deal I pulled trigger on Black Friday for $500 more. This projector is amazing. I paired it with a Vividstorm 120" ALR screen and it's the best thing ever
I've had a hard time finding it, but do you know if these ust projectors would work with a standard screen? I have a really nice tension-ed/flat elite screen that I would want to use, but all I ever see are alrs paired with these.

If you don't have ambient lights or in a dark room, you don't need it. I had mine projected on the wall for a year and enjoyed it. But then I got the ALR on BF, it is result is dramatic better.

The problem with UST is you shine the light from down to up, so it will cast shadow of your wall is not completely smooth. Regular projectors don't have that issue.

Not really - nothing other than casual Nintendo switch games. Incidentally, VAVA has an indegogo for their latest version, which is better than what I have - and they have a screen on sale.

my biggest complaint is that it doesn't work with my Harmony remote - and CEC stuff is wonky at best.

Quote from Felon :
If you want good blacks then nothing will beat out an OLED currently. I have an LG CX and when a scene in a movie is pitch black you can't tell if the TV is on or off. It's awesome. None of that 'grayish not really black' black.

Obviously though an OLED won't compete with the sheer size of a 120" projected image. But it depends on which youd rather have.

If you want a big image and solid contrast, JVC projectors are the best. Anything from the 2007 RS-1 to current will blow your mind.

It only matters if you want to use your projectors with ambient light. If you watch in the dark, you need it.

Thanks. Can I assume that if I wanted a 100" screen the distance would be about 10"?

Looks like 22" for a 100" diag.
