Short throw projector - Blu-ray Forum

d.white · 01-24-2023, 01:14 AM

If I didn't see it, sorry. But I'm surprised I didn't see anyone in the forums talking about the Formovie Theater short throw projector. It's getting a lot of good reviews. I currently have a sonyvpl-hw45es, but I'm ready to go 4k, and no more bulbs. My only problem is we're am I going to place my center channel. I would love to hear some feedback about this projector.

$3500 and no 3D? One can do better.

Actually it's $2,999 at ProjectorcScreen.com
I don't think newer projectors have 3D. Don't think too many people nowadays care about it, honestly.

More people care about it than many of you think. I'm contemplating a projector for my apartment but if it doesn't have 3D I'm not interested.

One potential issue with a short throw projector is finding a suitable location for the center channel speaker. Some users have found creative solutions, such as mounting the speaker above or below the screen or using an acoustically transparent screen and placing the speaker behind it.

If you're considering purchasing the Formovie Theater projector, I would suggest doing some research and reading reviews from reputable sources to make sure it fits your specific needs and preferences.

Hi, I am a happy owner of Formovie Theater with Formovie ALR screen (100") since April this year. For me importnat was to get it calibrated (quite time consuming and it cots me a lot of efforts as I did it myself). With that screen size the source Blu-Ray or 4K Blu-Ray has to be of very good quality-->if not, the grain is sometimes quite anoying.

If you think of central channel, you can consider to put FT on the ceiling, it is ready for that. There is a review of Formovie Screen on youtube, showing the results. As my lower screen edge is hanging on 34 inch, I had my CS below.

If you would like to know more, just ask.

Just put Hisense's PX1-Pro TriChroma UST 4K HDR Projector on sale for $1,899.

The PX1-PRO w/Smart Streaming Apps built-in can projects images from 90" - 130".

I ended up buying the epson ls11000. Too many changes had to be made in my setup for a short throw projector. Starting with the center channel placement.
