What is an ultra-short-throw projector? Tech Tips from Best Buy.

For those of you yearning for a screen larger than a standard television, ultra-short-throw projectors (USTs) might be your perfect match. Unlike traditional projectors that need a significant distance to project onto a screen, USTs change the narrative. You can position them just inches from your screen, and voilà, you've got a grand cinematic experience! Using a series of mirrors and lenses, these projectors shape and expand the image to project it in stunning 4K resolution. They're often termed "laser TVs" because they utilize lasers to create a vivid image. One standout UST is the Samsung Premiere LSP9T. It can project 100- to 130-inch screen sizes from minuscule distances, just 4.4 inches for a 100-inch display. This projector boasts three lasers—red, green and blue–for impeccable detail, and supports HDR for rich imagery. It also integrates seamlessly with various devices and supports voice controls through Bixby, Alexa and Google Assistant. Then there's the Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800. To project an 80-inch picture, you'd position it just shy of one inch from the screen. Its 4K resolution, HDR and 10-bit color processing ensure dazzling visuals. Not to mention, it comes in a chic design in either black or white and offers smart TV capabilities through Android TV. The Hisense L9 Series, meanwhile, offers 3000-lumens of brightness and three lasers for stunning color accuracy. It comes with a professional screen designed specifically for USTs. The Hisense projector is a tech lover's dream, supporting a multitude of connections and providing audio through a powerful 40-Watt Dolby Atmos speaker system. But what about screens for these projectors? Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) screens are a top recommendation. They significantly enhance the image by rejecting room light and providing improved contrast and colors. To house these USTs, you'll need furniture or a stand that can position them correctly relative to the screen, keeping in mind the image will project slightly above the projector's top. The positioning varies between models, so always check manufacturer guidelines. Lastly, for an immersive experience, consider upgrading your audio. Although all these models come with built-in speakers, nothing beats a high-quality surround sound system for true at-home theater ambiance.
