The best ultra-short-throw projector
Our pick
Hisense PX4 Pro
The Hisense PX4 Pro is the strongest current UST starting point for a large premium setup because it combines 3,500 ANSI lumens, an adjustable iris, an 80 to 200-inch range and fast gaming support. Choose the PX3-PRO when Google TV matters more, or the compact JMGO O2S Ultra when cabinet depth is tight.
Why it fits this need
- Exact throw and furniture geometry
- UST ALR screen compatibility
- Main trade-off
- Its 0.2:1 fixed lens still needs careful cabinet and screen geometry.
- Choose Hisense PX3-PRO instead when
- A polished all-in-one UST system
More reasons behind this pick
- Contrast versus ambient-light brightness
- Gaming latency and fixed-lens alignment
UST picks for dark theaters, brighter living rooms and gaming, with screen and furniture constraints included.
