NexiGo Aurora PJ90 is one of the few jaw-dropping UST (ultra short-throw) projectors we've come across at the 2023 International CES. This device can project onto a screen as large as 150-inch, from a very short throw distance (think a TV console right underneath the screen), with a very sophisticated automated keystone adjustment mechanism. What you get is a pristine 4K Ultra HD with HDR10 projection at up to 120 Hz refresh-rate, up to 2,500 ANSI lumens brightness, and in-built 60 W (RMS) Dolby Audio 2.1 speakers; along with a fully-fledged Android TV package, and HDMI 2.0 input. If you're in a space-constrained environment like a studio apartment, this is the one to get; however, get ready to fork out USD $2,100.

wow, what year is this. They are still measuring distance in foots :eek:
Before you put all the blame on the $-land: Greetings from the land of the mètre, and guess what "pouces" means.

Gosh the angle on that, will be hard to keep that adjusted correctly onto the screen, lol. If you've had a projector you know. Just from cold to hot, the image can shift.
 
Decent features, but ouch on that price.

it's a little bit different for UST laser-projectors. I tested 5 in total and finally "settled" for the Hisense PX1-Pro. Lower max ALumens than some others (Optoma P1/D1 for instance) but it's a tripple laser and the setup/options/config you get here are just absolutely amazing (lots of fine-tuning possible). With the right screen, wich you need (I got an Elite-Screen UST-CLR), it's magnificent.

Even without the CLR-Screen it was a great picture but with the CLR-Screen? Ambient light and even my ceiling light don't really bother me anymore. Yes, if it's super bright you still loose some contrast but compared to my 65" Sony before I have 0 reflections or issues with sunlight beside a slightly "washed out" image (and even that is still a great image but it's hard to otherwise describe the "difference in looks"). The Sony definitely didn't do much better on a very bright day (or when the ceiling lights were on it even was worse than now).

And at night or with the shades fully closes? Incredible detail, color, contrast and feel. I loved my Sony, but boy does water/fire/smoke look different with laser projector on a good CLR screen. Especially if the source supports Dolby. Not having to worry about which HDR-Setting to chose but using the "intended settings" is not only convenient but it looks absolutely stunning.


And I never had issues with alignment. I set up the screen, set up the projector, did my own "fine tuning" and then used the app for the final touch which does a fine-measurement of the screen to projection and adjusts keystone/etc. a bit - since then it's just like it is. No adjustment needed, neither general setup nor focus nor anything. UST Laser PJ just works. And I love it (currently using it in 100" until we move to the new place where we'll have space for a 130" screen :) )
