2024 UST Projector Showdown Results Announced Deutschland

The much-anticipated 2024 UST Projector Showdown, hosted by ProjectorScreen.com and Projector Reviews, has crowned this year’s best ultra-short-throw projector.

This annual event, now in its third year, is recognized as the ultimate competition for UST projectors. A panel of six expert judges, including ISF-certified calibrators and renowned tech reviewers, meticulously evaluated eight competing projectors across categories such as color accuracy, contrast, detail, and overall performance.

Expert Panel and Rigorous Evaluation Criteria

The showdown featured a panel of six expert judges, including ISF-certified calibrators, renowned tech reviewers, and display engineers. Eight competing projectors were meticulously evaluated based on criteria such as color accuracy, black levels, contrast, detail clarity, and overall performance. The judging process incorporated a balance of technical precision and real-world usability, ensuring fair and insightful comparisons.

Top-Tier Screens and Consumer-Friendly Setup

Each projector was paired with a 100-inch Spectra Projection Vantage ALR screen to guarantee consistent and optimal image quality. To replicate real-world consumer experiences, manufacturers were limited to using only basic, consumer-available calibration tools. This restriction highlighted the out-of-the-box performance of each device, adding practical relevance to the competition.

A Strong Legacy Continues

Coming in as this year’s runner-up is the recently released Formovie Theater Premium, the successor to the award-winning Formovie Theater, which claimed top honors in both the 2022 and 2023 Showdowns. This marks another stellar performance for Formovie in the competitive UST market.

The Formovie Theater Premium boasts an array of impressive improvements, including 400 more lumens of brightness, a sharper and more uniform lens, a shorter throw ratio, and the updated Google TV operating system. These enhancements make it a considerable step forward from its predecessor.

The judges highlighted the Premium's more celluloid and film-like image quality, which may resonate with certain consumers. One standout feature of the Premium remains its Bowers & Wilkins audio system, which continues to deliver the best sound quality among all UST projectors. While audio performance was not a formal competition criterion, it is a defining factor for many consumers and sets the Premium apart.

The Formovie Theater Premium is designed for home cinema enthusiasts who value cutting-edge image quality, outstanding audio, and a seamless user experience. To learn more or to bring this award-winning UST projector into your home, visit Wupro for details and purchasing options.
