Featured Comments

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.

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.
dude comparing a small 86" to a size of 120" or bigger..........

Ordered same price from Amazon last night. Not budgeted for ALR/CLR screen. Any advice on best 120" non-ALR/CLR screen with this projector? Also thinking of ceiling mount to keep area in front of screen open.

Looks like 22" for a 100" diag.
Quote from broadwayblue :
Thanks. Can I assume that if I wanted a 100" screen the distance would be about 10"?
Per the manual [optomausa.com] page 56 it is 9.8" horizontal distance from edge of projector unit to screen to create a 100" diagonal screen. The project central dimension of 22" is from the laser "output" of project unit to the screen wall. Guessing the 9.8" dimension is a little more useful when trying to figure out where to put the projector and if it works. both numbers are correct just trying to give context to clear up confusion.

I already have a 150" screen. I see a lot of these laser projector advertised as 120"... I assume I could just move it a bit further away from the screen to get it to be 150". Guessing maybe it just wouldn't appear as bright?

Depends. Some of these UST projectors are fixed focus, so they need to be used with the screen size advertised.

Decided to give this a try. I've been researching projectors for a couple of weeks now and can't quite decide if I should wait a little longer for HDMI 2.1 or not. Bought from Amazon since they seem to have the only return policy that doesn't have a 15% restocking fee. Will try this out for a week and see if it's the route I want to go.

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.

If you need good blacks, definitely not a projector. For picture quality, OLED wins, every day of the week. Specifically LG OLED. There is no better picture on the market. If you just want size, then the projector is fine, but 77" is still big. I'm sure this still has decent picture, but contrast is one of the the most important picture quality details, if not the most important, and nothing else can achieve what OLED does with its perfect black levels. You won't get any of that nasty gray looking black that you'll get with this and everything else. Not to mention that no projectors support Dolby Vision, at the moment, which is vastly better than HDR10. Not every 4K movie or show supports Dolby Vision, so sometimes you'll still be watching things in HDR10, but Dolby Vision has significantly better contrast than HDR10 and 67 billion more colors. That's not a typo.

Unless you're planning on gaming, you don't need 2.1.

That says nothing of the projector quality. All that does is reaffirm what has been proven time after time; people are generally drawn to size, over anything else, and think bigger is better. There's no way your projector actually compares to your OLED.

It proves which is a better, overall viewing experience for the majority of people.

Go with the projector, since you have complete control over ambient light.

Don't bother with 2.1, since you will need to ensure complete support end to end.

Also, take a look at this.
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2...old-ports/

Basically, a lot of 2.1 features are optional, so everyone can advertise HDMI 2.1 support as long as they do HDMI 2.0.

Go lug an 86" TV around when you move.

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.
It depends on how much light you have in the room. ALR just rejects lights from certain angles so ambient light doesent interefere with the projectors image from standard viewing angles.

If you are happy with the brightness of your current set up, you will likely be fine with a non ARL screen.

I have a non ARL screen and am quite happy as my room has only 1 window and ambient light is easily controlled. I ceiling mounted my UST projector to keep kids from bumping it. UST cant use standard ALR screens if ceiling mounted since the projector is shining from above.
