Where does a homeowner turn when they require video projection in a small or otherwise awkward space? Enter the short-throw video projector! Great for smaller media rooms or structurally challenged spaces, short-throw video projectors can overcome structural limitations to deliver high-quality images. A standard video projector would require 15 feet to project a 10-foot-wide image on a screen, whereas a short-throw projector can do the same job from only 7 feet from the screen.
Affordable quality
While the technology of short-throw projectors continues to improve, so does the price. Most short-throw projectors are in the ballpark of under $1000, bringing affordable video projection to residential big screen enthusiasts.
No mounting required
It should come as no surprise that not all rooms are designed with video projection in mind. Many rooms that become co-opted as media space may have structural limitations. A cathedral ceiling, wooden beams, or ductwork will interfere with projector mounting, and often space is not negotiable. In this case, the portability of a short-throw projector is a huge advantage. It simply sits on the floor, 7 feet from the viewing area. This transferability also comes in handy for alternate viewing sites, like a kids room during a slumber party or an outdoor makeshift screen for a full-moon movie night. When not in use, the projector can be safely and easily tucked into a cabinet.
Bells and whistles
Many short-throw projectors have wire-free designs, with the sole cable being the HDMI connection to its video source. Speakers may be built-in or connect via Bluetooth. Many can also stream content through Netflix or other content providers, and connect wirelessly to tablets and smartphones.
