If you’ve decided on a “big screen at home” but don’t want to mount a projector on the ceiling or run cables across the room, this is the kind of price cut that makes an ultra-short-throw model seem realistic. The Epson Lifestudio Grand 4K PRO-UHD Ultra Short Throw Smart Laser Projector is $2,199.99 (was $2,699.99)saving you $500. This isn’t a cheap impulse buy, but it is Is A significant discount on a premium projector designed to sit close to the wall while still delivering a huge image.
What you get
This is an ultra-short throw laser projector, meaning it is designed to be placed on a media console directly below your screen area rather than across the room. This is the main advantage: you get the “cinema-like” look without having to redesign your room.
It’s a 4K PRO UHD projector with 3LCD imaging and HDR support, plus it’s positioned as a smarter, living space-friendly device with wireless capabilities. This also includes sound tuned with Bose technology. This is important if you want a setup that works out of the box while you decide whether you ultimately want to add a full soundbar or a surround system.
Why it’s worth it
A deal like this makes sense if you care about the experience and not just the specs. Ultra short throw projectors are designed for people who want a huge image for movies, sports, and casual gaming, but want to avoid the hassle that comes with a traditional long throw setup.
The other “real” advantage: It can be a cleaner setup than a giant TV, especially in rooms where a 75- or 85-inch panel seems visually overwhelming. If you like the idea of a large screen that feels more flexible and less permanent, this category is for you.
The practical downside is that projectors are still projectors. Your room lighting and your choice of screen are more important than with a TV. If you’re expecting the same punch at midday in a bright room, think about placement and how you’ll use it most often.
The end result
At $2,199.99, this is a good buy if you’re looking for a premium ultra-short-throw laser projector designed for clean living room decor and have been waiting for a real discount to take the plunge. If you primarily watch TV in a very bright room and don’t want to worry about screen/lighting at all, a high-end TV might still be the easier route, but if you’re aiming for theater size without the installation hassles, this deal is worth a serious look.
