![]() ![]() Like many short throw projectors, Samsung’s model is also fairly portable if you’d like to move it to different locations and doesn’t require the same sort of calibration each time that other types of projectors may require. It’s also a smart projector with support for Alexa, Google Assistant, and Samsung's own Bixby voice assistant, so you don’t have to get up when you can turn the projector on or search for a show with basic voice commands. This ultra short throw project also comes with 30-watt speakers, and while projector speakers aren’t generally that impressive (we highly suggest getting a full sound system), these plus the built-in subwoofer are better than traditional TV speakers. That includes a 2,800-lumen bulb that ensures images will be visible even in bright-room conditions, 4K resolution at up to a 130-inch image size, and Samsung’s own Tizen smart TV platform for browsing apps and more. Samsung’s ultra short throw projector has an excellent collection of specs that guarantee a high-end home theater experience while also saving a bunch of space. With that in mind, we've rounded up what we think are the best ultra short throw projectors on the market right now, hitting a variety of price points. While UST projectors can be pricey, ranging anywhere from $2,000 to more than $6,000, and often require a screen and a soundbar for a better audio experience, if a big-picture theater-at-home is what you're after, a UST projector is the way to go. And in the case of many UST projectors, like our pick for the best ultra short throw projector, the Samsung LSP9T Premiere, this can be as little as 4.5 inches for a 100-inch image. Short throw and ultra short throw (UST) projectors are becoming more popular because they drastically reduce this distance down to mere inches. But while more and more movie and sports lovers are turning to projectors, setting one up can require a lot of space to allow for the distance that traditional long-throw projectors require, which can be anywhere from 10 to 20 feet depending on the size of image you want.

There's also no battery so you'll need to plug it in. Read our Anker Nebula Solar Portable review.Īnker Nebula Cosmos Laser 4K: Since it has a handle and a compact size, the Cosmos Laser 4K is technically portable, but it's hardly mini at more than 10 pounds. While the Anker Mars II Pro has its own issues, overall it's the better option for the same money. It sports 1080p resolution, but it's not very bright and the contrast isn't great. Read our LG HU810PW review.Īnker Nebula Solar Portable: The Solar Portable is a portable projector with a built-in battery that lasts 3 hours. The contrast ratio is quite poor, so it doesn't look nearly as good overall as other projectors in its overall price range. It's also quiet and sports an attractive, boxy case. LG HU810PW: The HU810PW is a higher-end, laser-powered projector with 4K resolution that's able to create some lovely, colorful images. Read our Xiaomi Mi Smart Projector 2 review. It's relatively dim, especially for the price, and it lacks both a built-in battery and compatibility with a USB power source, so it's not truly portable. ![]() We appreciated the compact size, 1080p resolution and built-in Android TV streaming, but the cons outweigh the pros. Xiaomi Mi Smart Projector 2: Another relatively expensive projector we didn't love, the Xiaomi at least has a gorgeous, Apple-like design going for it. Worse, its price is a good 50% higher than it should be based on how it looks and performs. However, it lacks a battery and its performance is average, at best. Its built-in streaming is far better implemented than most portable projectors. About the size of a Bluetooth speaker, and in fact can double as one, the Freestyle can pivot on its stand to project an image at any height on walls and even the ceiling. Samsung Freestyle: The small, cylindrical Freestyle is an interesting idea, but it comes up short. ![]()
