Ultra Short Throw Projector
Options
-
22-03-2018 6:04pmHi guys, just started looking into buying an ultra throw projector and thought considering previous purchases from yourselves that I'm still very happy with this would be the logical place to start.
I've already wired up the intended room with all connections for speakers etc leading back to base of the freshly plastered rear wall so have had a ultra short throw projector in mind for a while. Want to keep it unobtrusive so closer to the wall the better, i.e. 30cm or less.
Main usage would probably be movies, but would like the option of gaming from time to time. Day to day will be catered for with a tv at the opposite end of the room.
Budget would be max 2K Euro, preferably lower but quality of picture, lag times and longevity of lamp/brightness etc are all factors. Basically I don't want to sacrifice quality for price.
Sound output is not really important as I'll be running it via my RXv667 I bought off you a few years back with a bunch of vector speakers.
Do you have anything in stock that you'd recommend? Might be another couple of months before I'm in a position to buy so recommendations on new stock yet to come in that you think would be suitable welcome too.
Cheers1

Thanks for the post.
That is a very short distance. We have very few that can operate at this short of a distance unfortunately.
The Sony LSPX-P1 which is priced at £999.00

There is also the Epson EH-LS1000 retailing at £2599.99
https://www.richersounds.com/tv-projectors/projectors/epson-eh-ls-100.html
Philips used to produce the Screeneo 2.0 which was priced at around £1999 but it think it has been discontinued as it has been removed from our website.
I'm not sure if there are any more Ultra short throw due to be released when the new lines hit in the coming months but I can keep my eye out for you.
Let me know your thoughts.0 -

The other projector I was taking a look at on your site was the http://www.richersounds.ie/p-202968-opto-gt-5000-plus.aspx. How would that compare to the Epson?

I totally forgot about the GT5000+. It would be another very good projector but unfortunately you could not compare it to the Epson at twice the price. The Epson would be in a different league.
In saying that the GT5000+ is still one heck of a projector!0 -

Think the only way to really know if the Optoma is a goer would be to see it in action, preferably against a wall. Are you set up to demo projectors?

We are set up to demo projectors but don't always have everyone in stock due to the range and the price of some of them.
We do have 6 or 7 for demo ranging from £330 up to £2499 (Optoma HD60) but unfortunately I would not have any of the Ultra short throw ones in stock currently here at the store.
I will check if it maybe possible to get any of them for demo purposes.0 -

The GT5500 is a special order for us so we would need to get it directly from the supplier and it wouldn't be able to be demo'd.
The GT5500 is £1299 at the moment.
Let me know what you think.0 -

Let me know what you think.
If not for a demo I'd think the gt5000+ should be fine.
Sure let me know when you reckon you'll have it and any others in and I'll pop up for a look.
Thanks again

To be honest as I have never seen the GT5500 or the GT5000+ up and running I could not say for sure about any noticeable difference.
I'll keep you posted if there is any movement on any of the Ultra short throw projectors coming in for demo.0
