Short Throw Projector
Short throw and ultra short throw projectors that deliver massive images from just inches away. Perfect for small rooms, tight spaces, and living rooms without ceiling mounting.
Short Throw Projectors: Big Screen in Small Spaces
Short throw projectors are designed to produce large images from very short distances — often just 1-3 feet from the wall or screen. Traditional projectors need 10+ feet of space for a 100″ image, but a short throw model can do it from just a few feet away.
Ultra short throw (UST) projectors go even further, sitting inches from the wall on a TV stand or cabinet and projecting a 100-150″ image upward. They’re the perfect solution for apartments, small living rooms, classrooms, and boardrooms where space is limited or ceiling mounting isn’t an option.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered a short throw projector?
A short throw projector typically has a throw ratio of 0.4:1 to 1:1, meaning it can produce a 100″ image from 3-8 feet away. Ultra short throw (UST) projectors have ratios under 0.4:1 and can sit just inches from the wall.
Can short throw projectors be ceiling mounted?
Yes, many short throw projectors support ceiling mounting, but their main advantage is that you don’t need to. Most people place them on a shelf, TV stand, or table below the screen.
Do ultra short throw projectors need a special screen?
UST projectors work best with an ambient light rejecting (ALR) screen designed for ultra short throw. These screens reject overhead room light while reflecting the projected image from below, resulting in better contrast in bright rooms.
How close can an ultra short throw projector be to the wall?
Most UST projectors sit about 10-20 inches from the wall and project a 100″-150″ image. The exact distance depends on the model and desired screen size.
Are short throw projectors more expensive?
Short throw projectors tend to be slightly more expensive than comparable standard-throw models due to the more complex lens design. However, they save you the cost and hassle of ceiling mounting and dedicated projector space.
