Where does an ultra-short-throw 4K projector excel
Big, Bright, Colorful Image In A Room
There are two types of video that every manufacturer uses when showing off its ultra-short-throw projectors: sports and video games. These projectors usually put out a lot of light, so they can produce a big, bright, colorful image even in a room with some ambient light—as a result, brighter content, as in sports and video games, really pops.
Highly Immersive Experience
Watching a sporting event on a 100- or 120-inch screen makes for a highly immersive experience, and these projectors can deliver that. Even better, with hardware like a Dish Hopper DVR, or even with ESPN’s streaming app, you can watch four games at once. With four 50- or 60-inch screens, each delivering HD resolution, you get that sports-bar feeling at home, and it makes for a fun Saturday or Sunday football-viewing experience in the fall.
Animated Films Often Look Very Good
Video games also do quite well on these projectors. Split-screen two-player games are easier to play when you have a screen this large, and the vivid, colorful graphics of most games look great. Brighter TV shows and animated films often look very good as well, with vibrant colors and highly lit scenes playing well on these projectors.
