Philips has launched a compact Full HD ultra-short-throw projector called the Screeneo U4 on Indiegogo for folks looking to beam recipe vids on the kitchen wall, play console games in the spare room or gather in the living room for movie night.
This latest device is a Full HD ultra-short-throw projector, meaning that it can throw an 80-diagonal-inch image from 12 inches (30.5 cm) away from the wall or screen, or snuggle up to 7.7 inches for a 60-inch picture.
It's built around TI DLP imaging technology with XPR pixel-shifting, and features a four-channel (RGGB) LED light source that's reckoned good for up to 30,000 hours of use. It's 400 lumens of color/white brightness will likely see this unit operating is shaded areas only for the best results though.
The projector is reported capable of supporting 108 percent of the Rec.709 an over 85 percent of the NTSC color gamuts, as well as HDR10 dynamic content, and casual gamers can look forward to a 60-Hz refresh rate and 30-ms latency. It also comes with the promise of easy setup thanks to fast AI autofocus, auto-keystone correction and four-corner correction.
The U4 measures 4.86 x 3.21 x 8.8 in (123.5 x 81.5 x 223.5 mm) and tips the scales at 3 lb (1.4 kg), which makes it a fairly easy haul to different locations around the home but as it's mains powered, users will need to position near a wall outlet or live with extension cables.
