A big image from twenty centimetres, and a screen that must match · review
A laser television in the literal sense: an ultra short throw machine that sits under the screen, decodes Dolby Vision and Atmos, and is sold without the screen it needs.
The bottom line The television replacement, honestly described: everything about the format is right, and the purchase is not complete without the screen the maker does not include.
Everything about installation. The machine sits on the furniture directly beneath the image, so there is no ceiling bracket, no cable across the room, and nobody walks through the beam. In a living room that is also a living room, that is the whole argument.
A rigid, ceiling-light-rejecting screen. At a throw ratio this low, light arrives at a grazing angle: a ripple that is invisible on an ordinary projector becomes a band, and an ordinary white surface returns the room’s light along with the image. The screen is not included here, and it is not an accessory — it is half the product.
Dolby Vision and HDR10+, plus IMAX Enhanced. Those are separate licences and it is unusual to see both. Dolby Atmos decoding is stated too, which on a machine with built-in audio means the format is decoded rather than that anything reaches your ceiling.
2 500 lumens. The maker states it in that form, without an ANSI qualifier, and this page reproduces it as published rather than converting it — there is no conversion. What the figure means in your room depends as much on the screen as on the machine.
240 Hz. That is a refresh rate for gaming, and it sits oddly on a machine sold as a cinema. It is genuinely useful with a console and irrelevant to everything else.

Because the light arrives almost parallel to the surface. That exaggerates every ripple — a gentle wave in a pull-down screen becomes a visible band — and an ordinary white screen reflects the room's ceiling light straight back at you. These machines are paired with rigid, ceiling-light-rejecting screens for both reasons.
Paired with a CLR screen, this class of machine is what daylight viewing is sold on, and the figure is not stated in ANSI so it cannot be placed on the same scale as machines that do. What is certain is that the screen contributes as much as the projector in a bright room.
Short throw · Full HD 1 920 × 1 080 · 3 500 ANSI lumens · 10 000:1 stated contrast · 3D Ready · keystone
A short-throw 1080p projector at the accessible end of a family that is usually expensive — it sits close to the screen without needing the rigid, matched surface an ultra short throw machine demands.
Best for: A small room where a projector at the back is impossible, and where a rigid ALR screen is not in the budget.
≈ £625 / 610 €
Ultra short throw · 4K · 2 600 ISO lumens · 6 000:1 NATIVE contrast · Dolby Vision · 1 ms input lag · up to 200 inches
The only machine in this catalogue that publishes a native contrast ratio — 6 000:1 — alongside a measured brightness figure, which is what makes it comparable rather than merely impressive.
Best for: Someone who reads specifications and wants an ultra short throw machine whose figures can be checked against another that publishes the same ones.
≈ $2899 / 2379 €
Short throw · 4K HDR · 3 000 ANSI lumens · Google TV built in
The 4K version of the short-throw idea, with Google TV on board — a self-contained machine that sits close to the wall and needs nothing else plugged into it.
Best for: A room too small for a long throw projector where the picture still has to be 4K, and where one object is preferable to three.
