![]() ![]() So to take things to the extreme I made zero attempt to light control my living room leaving all the blinds open in the middle of the day, and all the lights on at 100% brightness.įor reference I also placed an 800 nit 4K monitor under the screen to show the difference between a projected image and a panel. Measurements are one thing, but what’s really important is how that translates into a better viewing experience. I was surprised by the low performance of the Optoma P2 which only had 2285 measured ANSI lumens compared to its advertised 3000, and the JMGO O1 Pro which measured in at just 720 ANSI lumens, which is less than half of its advertised 1500 lumens. The standard measurement for projector brightness is the ANSI Lumen which I calculated by taking a brightness measurement at 9 standard points, averaging those measurements and multiplying by the screen size in square meters.įor white brightness the AWOL LTV-3500 came out on top with 3302 measured ANSI Lumens which is about 200 less than it’s advertised 3500 lumens, second the Samsung measured 3171 which is over 371 more than advertised, then the xgimi came in third with 2428, which is 28 more than advertised, I also calculated the cost per lumen where the Nexigo was by far the cheapest at 93 cents per lumen, followed by the Optoma and XGIMI at a dollar and one cent and a dollar and 3 cents respectively. Here are what I think are the 4 most important features of an Ultra Short Throw projector that will make or break your experience, and we’ll start with the most important one: Brightness, because there’s no getting around it, your projector has to be bright enough for the room where you plan to use it, and the more ambient light your room has, the brighter your projector needs to be. Feel free to use the timestamps to skip around. Then, last, I’ll give my final recommendations in each budget category and each use case. Second, we’ll take a look at more traditional rating criteria like picture quality, sharpness, black levels, and color accuracy and we’ll do some side by side comparisons. I’ll divide the video up into 4 sections, first are the features that I think have the greatest impact on how happy you’ll be with your projector. I started planning for this video by watching every youtube review, and reading every article from and projector central, on Ultra Short Throw projectors and I compiled that information to select 7 of the most recommended ultra short throw projectors from these price ranges, and then for good measure I also included the least expensive UST that you can get on Amazon, and a brand new projector from Nexigo who makes my favorite projector in the under $200 category. Today on the hookup I’ve got 9 highly recommended ultra short throws priced from under $1000 to over $6000 from big brands, and some you’ve never heard of and I’m going to exhaustively test them to make sure you get the most for your money, and as always there are no sponsored reviews on this channel, so stick around to see the unbiased results for each test, or feel free to use the timestamps to skip right to my final recommendations. But how much better is a $6000 projector than a $1000 one? Ultra short throw projectors are the easiest way to get a huge screen in your living room without needing to run long wires and mount a projector on your ceiling. **As an Amazon Affiliate I earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no cost to you** □ Best Value (Under $2500) – Nexigo PJ90 Aurora □ □ Top Pick (Under $2500) – XGIMI AURA □ □ Top Pick (Under $3500) – Formovie Theater □ Please dispose of in accordance with local, state or federal laws.□ Best Overall ($4000 and up) – AWOL LTV-3500 □ (One year Express Exchange Service requires product registration).
