Formovie 4K Ultra Short Throw Projector + 120" ALR Screen
If you DO NOT CARE about 3D capabilities, or having low input lag for hardcore gaming, and are seeking a really nice triple-laser 4K ultra short throw projector and matching 120″ projection screen combo, the bundle below should be among your considerations. Despite its lack of 3D capability and having below average input lag, the otherwise fully-featured Formovie THEATER UST projector has received recognition as both the 2022 and 2023 winner of the “Laser TV Showdown” from panels of leading projector experts, although several of its top competitors were conveniently not included in the most recent competition…
Are you planning on setting up your ultra short throw projector and screen inside a darker, semi-light-controlled room? The Spectra Projection Vantage SP-V-UST5-120 120″ diagonal fixed-frame wall-mount ALR screen [manufacturer’s link] [at Amazon] features lenticular material which rejects 95% of overhead/ceiling ambient light (not from sides of screen) and has a 150° viewing angle and a super low 0.5 gain. Two-person screen assembly is required, as well as proper alignment with the projector’s image. Screen has height adjustable mounting brackets.
The minimum height needed to accommodate the combined 59.8″ image height of the SP-V-UST5-120 screen including its “luxurious black velvet” bezel plus the 16.1″ required height between the bottom of the image and the surface where the Formovie THEATER UST projector sits is almost 76″, about 6⅓ feet, and that’s only if the projector sits directly on the floor. If you prefer to place the projector inside or on top of a cabinet, stand, or table, you’ll need to add its additional height to the minimum height requirement for the wall.
The distance between the rear of the UST projector and the plane of the screen surface will be about 13.4 inches. You also need to account for the 1.5 inch depth of the screen. The front of the 13.7 inch deep projector will extend to about 28.6 inches from the wall out into the room.
Dimensions of the Spectra Projection Vantage 120″ diagonal screen after assembly including the 0.47″ bezel are 105.5″ wide, 59.8″ high, and 1.5″ deep. Package size is 76″ x 10″ x 11″ and it weighs 64 pounds. see [Spectra Projection Vantage UST Screen Assembly Video] and [Spectra Projection Vantage UST Screen Mounting Video at YouTube]
