Ultra-short-throw projectors exist to make big-screen viewing possible in normal-sized rooms, sitting inches from the wall instead of mounted on a stand or your ceiling. It’s a smarter idea for home theater. Too often, though, UST models are oversized behemoths. The last one I tested felt less like a TV replacement and more like a miniature spaceship.
Compact, portable, and far easier to live with, the LG CineBeam S feels closer to what the category was meant to be.
