    Short Throw Projectors from LG

    A friend showed me the LG page on a couple of short throw projectors and they look brilliant.

    eg : LG PF1000UW: Ultra Short Throw LED Home Theater Projector | LG USA

    Has anyone seen one in real life? A store? In someone's home?
    If a private home, I'd be happy to bring some adult beverages to watch its performance for a bit...

    We're about to purchase the Epson short throw with interactive...

    These things are game changers in the classroom...at the moment we use a 'normal' albeit high end projector and the 'UBI Interactive' system...but, there is often a shadow when our students stand in front of the screen...

    Also looks very cool - were you able to see/observe it? A store somewhere?

    I'd like to see the brightness and quality of these things....

    LG is outdated tech at best right now - I'm sure I posted a video of this one about 3 years ago, on the forums.

    The new ones are 4K and use freekin' laser beams!

    Here's what Dell has done and the price point is pretty damn good, considering I've just seen a HKD 500K 100" 4K HDR TV a few days ago.

    I'd wait ... keep waiting ... till something like this hits the HK$ 50K range.

    I'll probably end up getting it from price.hk, lol...I'm very tight!

    I haven't seen it but I've read a lot of reviews. Epson would come out and give you a site demo. I expect.

    To be honest, it puts me off that it's being shown in darkened rooms. My projector has a bright crisp screen in any light, and frankly, that's what you pay for...3000 lumens is the lowest I would go now.

    Randomly looked up the Xiaomi thingy and it is @ 5000 lumens - 150" projection. Worth a look at if you don't want 4K.
