Small UST Laser Projector Enables Large-Scale Viewing in Compact Spaces

For those short on space but craving a cinematic upgrade from the traditional living room TV, ultra-short-throw (UST) projectors offer an appealing solution — sitting close to a wall or screen while still producing massive images. Optoma’s newest addition brings “incredible brightness and lifelike color in a newly compact form.”

Ultra-Short Throw, Ultra-Big Picture

The GT4000UHD UST laser projector features a compact footprint of 12.87 x 12.91 inches (32.69 x 32.79 cm) and a height of just 3.35 inches (8.5 cm). Thanks to its 0.25:1 throw ratio, placing it just 12 inches from a wall delivers a 100-inch 4K UHD (3,840 x 2,160) image, with the potential to scale up to 150 inches with additional distance.

This projector doesn’t come with built-in smart features, so you’ll need to connect a streaming stick to access platforms like Netflix, Disney+, or Prime Video. However, it does include an Ethernet LAN port for direct connection to a home network. Around the back, you’ll find two HDMI ports—one with audio return—along with a USB Type-A port for power or wired connections.

Game-Ready Performance

Gamers using a console or PC will benefit from ultra-low input lag, clocking in at 4.3 milliseconds when running 1080p at 240 Hz, increasing to 8 ms for 1080p at 120 Hz and 16.9 ms at 4K60. The GT4000UHD is equipped with a built-in 15-W speaker, though it also supports audio output to an external sound system for enhanced audio.

The projector is currently on sale for US$4,499. You can check out the video below for more details.
