A Short Throw Projector Offers Brilliant Images at a Short Range

There was a time when homeowners required large, expansive rooms for the big screen experience. However, we’re happy to report that times have changed, and the technology used to make it happen continues to transform. At Digital Home Systems, we’ve been serving Darien, CT, and the surrounding communities for nearly 25 years. As audio, video, and technology enthusiasts, we create home entertainment systems that rival commercial venues. And today's short throw projectors help us do that. 

These projectors offer incredible lifelike images from much shorter distances. Let's explore how we integrate this technology into living rooms, dens, and media rooms, creating the immersive experience homeowners increasingly demand from their home entertainment. 

Create the Immersive Cinematic Experience in Any Room 

One of the best ways to enjoy your favorite movies is to watch on a big screen using the latest 4K HDR projectors. While many of today’s 4K QLED TVs deliver phenomenal images, the total immersion in a film that takes you to another place in time is best achieved with a projector and large screen. The bigger the picture is, the more engaging and dynamic the viewing experience, the more you bring a movie to life.

Today’s projectors offer 4K HDR ultra-high-resolution images, creating bright, detailed, lifelike pictures. Whether you’re considering creating a media room, home theater, or upgrading your living room entertainment, projectors may offer the movie and gaming experience you’re looking for. Some clients are, at first, skeptical. Will a projector and screen mar their home’s aesthetics and do they have the room? 

That’s where a short throw projector comes in. Let’s explore how we use these projectors to create the ultimate cinematic experience for our clients in Westport, CT.

The Features of a Short Throw Projector

The “throw” in short throw projectors refers to the distance of the projector to the screen. Short throw projectors are usually about 3-8 feet away from the screen and produce images up to 120-inches.

Ultra Short Throw Projectors Offer Large High-Quality Images at Reduced Costs

Advances in technology have made the seemingly impossible more real than we could have even imagined just over a decade ago. For example, TVs were massively heavy at one time, and the pictures on the first plasma TVs were pixilated and distorted, not to mention the price tag–$25,000 for a 50”.

Now, our home theaters are luxurious and unique settings, designed for each homeowner, with pictures and sound that rival best-in-class theaters. One of the more recent technology-impacted equipment we regularly install in our Rye, NY home theaters is the ultra-short throw projector.
