This works in different situations than maxi-short throw models and hits a great pricepoint. I’m using it for 120″diagonal image mounted under 8′ away. I don’t want a bigger image, and I could mount closer, but would pay $1K for the privilege.
This does not seem to be a very competitive short throw projector. The diagonal screen size of 50″ is not adequate from a projector placement distance of 3 feet. Most other short throw projectors offer an 82″ diagonal from the same distance from the screen. This may work from a portable cart or on a table top but will not work from a wall mount.
