The first one, is that UST projectors, including this Casio, tend to be significantly more expensive than longer throw projectors.Īnother limitation is image size. The entire audience is behind the projector so the sound is going where it needs to.īut, as I said, there are a couple of downsides as well. There’s an installation cost either way, but it definitely should be a good deal less with an ultra short throw projector.Īnother benefit is sound, which normally comes from a rear facing speaker.
No power and cables to run up to the ceiling.

That means the install work takes place on just one wall, along with the screen. The primary reason is that this Casio will mount to the wall, directly above the screen surface, rather than hang from the ceiling. If the projector is going to be installed, there’s also normally significant savings compared to longer throw projectors. In addition, the speaker is not casting a shadow, blocking the light from the projector from reaching the screen. Being attacked by a very, very bright light is not pleasant, and it can be a major distraction to the teacher or presenter. When they are practical to use in your environment, ultra short throw projectors offer some great advantages, and a disadvantage or two as well.įirst of all, unlike projectors sitting 8 or 12 feet from the screen, a UST projector like this Casio won’t blind the presenter if they move in front of the screen (which certainly happens a lot).
