Mitsubishi’s Tiny DLP Pocket Projector

By

The new PocketProjector not only weighs just under a pound, it’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand or in a coat pocket.* Although it comes with an AC power cord (and a protective slipcover), an optional battery base is also available – making it a perfect projector to take with you on one of those primitive “see the wilderness” camping hikes through the Adirondacks. Or, if you’remore of the sedentary type, you can use it to watch whichever game you’ve got the most money riding on with a few friends and a couple of beers in the backyard.

Built around one of the latest DLP chips from Texas Instruments, the PocketProjector uses three Lumileds LEDs (one each of red, green, and blue) to produce an SVGA (800 x 600 pixels) Enhanced Definition image. The LED light source offers multiple benefits including instant on/off, negligible heat output, and a 20,000 hour rated lifespan. With an average usage of 5 hours per day, the LEDs are expected to last over 10 years.

The best ultra short throw projectors for 2023
The Hisense PX1-PRO  projector.

Home theater projectors are getting better and better, delivering bright, high-resolution images that can bring the theatre experience to your home with sizes that can hit upwards of 120 to 130 inches. But while more and more movie and sports lovers are turning to projectors, setting one up can require a lot of space to allow for the distance that traditional long-throw projectors require, which can be anywhere from 10 to 20 feet depending on the size of image you want.

Short throw and ultra short throw (UST) projectors are becoming more popular because they drastically reduce this distance down to mere inches. And in the case of many UST projectors, like our pick for the best ultra short throw projector, the Samsung LSP9T Premiere, this can be as little as 4.5 inches for a 100-inch image. While UST projectors can be pricey, ranging anywhere from $2,000 to more than $6,000, and often require a screen and a soundbar for a better audio experience, if a big-picture theater-at-home is what you're after, a UST projector is the way to go. With that in mind, we've rounded up what we think are the best ultra short throw projectors on the market right now, hitting a variety of price points.
