Sport that shines
Ultra-short-throw projectors have been around for many years in commercial environments where the issues of image uniformity were outweighed by the need for brightness and near-wall mounting. Only in the last few years have they come into their own as consumer projectors, and only in the last two of those as ‘TV-like’ packages with smart interfaces, TV tuners and speakers built in. The original Hisense Laser TV was the first we laid hands on (other than at shows like CES and IFA), and the proof of concept was impressive enough for us to give that original Laser TV the first Sound+Image Award for this new breed.
