Buying Tips
- Ultra-short throw means the projector sits centimetres from the wall — measure your wall space and plan for a flat, stable surface or dedicated mount.
- With 5,000 lumens, this model handles ambient light well, but a quality projection surface still maximizes the 100,000:1 contrast.
- Laser projection means no lamp replacements — factor that into total cost of ownership versus lamp-based projectors.
