The Screen Gets All the Room, the Projector Barely Needs Any

A new ultra-short-throw projector can throw a genuinely massive 4K image while sitting just inches from the wall it lights up — the kind of detail that lands differently depending on which stretch of Florida you're in. In a Miami high-rise, where every square foot of the living room is spoken for, a projector that needs almost no clearance is the whole pitch. In Naples or Palm Beach, where the media room already has plenty of space to spare, the appeal is less about clearance and more about not wanting hardware competing with the room. Either way, the unit's optical shift function is designed to make dialing in that size of picture simpler than it would otherwise be.
