Ultra Short Throw vs Long Throw Projector - LG HU85LA vs Epson 5050UB

[@ChrisMajestic]

A few people have mentioned that the laser light source (lamp) can't be replaced. LG has assured me that it is indeed replaceable and that dealers have replacement lamps available. So there's no need to throw the projector out when the lamp dies. This is welcome news.

[@brownmiester]

do u think i could really use a projector for a tv despite a room is not totally dark?

[@dennisbrown1296]

Hello chris i love your videos i hope you review the JVC NX5 or NX7 ..I’m interested on your take on the JVC models.JVC if your reading please send Chris a Model to review Thanks

[@TylerJWenzel]

Actually? I e-mailed LG and got the exact opposite response - even after a couple clarifying emails - which is why I am not considering buying one. They told me this is not designed to be an "economical unit" and "can't be replaced". Might have to go pester them some more...

[@trentdabs5245]

So I got a Viewsonic Px 700 HD about two years ago and I love it But it's been Overheating, I looked inside and it Completely Covered in Dust in the inside. I tried looking up How to clean or disassemble on KZbin and the only thing I could find is a Build replacement. I'm going to Vacuum it out the Best I can But I think she might be done 😣 UPDATE I FIXED IT 😎 Had to take it Completely Apart was held together with tiny clips (Think PS4 )if that helps. Lamp is at 7000 Hours and it says it will last till 14000 so I'm at half, Really it my Fault for Not cleaning it sooner. I can recommend it to Anyone for Any application, I use it as my T.V works Grate 👍

[@constantinosschinas4503]

even if you did, at 20K hours, it would be cheapet than buying 8 or 10 lcd or dlp lamps i guess.

I would add that long throws are much more forgiving of screen alignment and flatness. With the short throw PJs you need to have everything lined up really well, with a nice flat screen, etc.

[@FieldfareFirepit]

Cracking review as always Chris with loads of excellent real world considerations for both options. Keep these reviews coming!

[@mathieufalcy8616]

Hi, great summary ! there one more point worth to note about UST projectors, their very short angle of projection will magnify even the least defect or wave in the screen. I had very bad experience with elite screen motorized tensioned in ceiling screen. I see horrible horizontale lines in the image highlights (eg sky, white back ground). Customer support claimed this is a weakness related to UST projection angle and that UST projector shall be used (only) with fixed frame screens... now I’m switching to a regular throw projector...

[@MG-kd7et]

Some reviewers have noted the out of the box sharpness of the Epson 3 LCD. Epson does get really sharp with it’s image enhancement and super resolution along with pixel shifting, which makes the Epson incredibly tack sharp, you’ll see every facial pore, and along with gamma curve adjustments, the brightness and color are truly fantastic. The LG setup with ALR screen in my opinion, is way too expensive for the picture size it offers and Epson can go way bigger 200” and still look great for movies. In addition Epson has fantastic customer support (LG ?) Thanks for the nice review.

[@burgunbeerd]

If they release a newer version of the 5050UB with 4k that'll be incredible

It would. JVC 4K is 6000 and 9000 so there is room for Epson to go up in price to 5000 and give jvc some competition. I have a jvc e shift like the Epson and love it but the 4K is a little much. They went up in price when they went true 4K. Mine was 4000 and that same model in 4K is 9000

[@anttitauriainen3367]

Really good sumup of the differences. Just wanted to point out that there is a 3LCD ultra short throw projector from Epson (LS500) so if you're allergic to DLP rainbows there is an other option. One advantage of standard throw projector like UB5050 is motorized lens that enables using different zooms for different content. That is a must if you want to use 2.39:1 screen instead 16:9. Also more costly option for this, the anamorphic lens is also only usable with standard throw.

Great video Chris! I have been on the fence on which type to buy when my LG 65” OLED goes kaput. We have a large family room, and would like to have at least a 100” screen eventually. I like the short throw for the simple reason that I would not have to tear up my walls to run the cables for a standard projector mounted in the ceiling, all the wiring is right where my current tv sits. Short throw is the way to go for me, thanks for the information!

What is so difficult about permanently mounting the projector on a ceiling and forgetting it is there? With lens shift like Epson and a motorised or flat screen, it is practically a fire and forget solution. Short throw projectors have so many limitations including having to get higher ceilings, precarious overhang from the TV console, being nudged out of position every now and then by kids or having to clean, unable to have a screen in front of the TV......so much more trouble. Ceiling mount is out of the way and is a much more permanent placement when once you set it right till you change the projector.

[@kamrankpt]

Nice video, thenks. Would you recommend an ultra short throw projector for a house with a toddler that can touch it or move it?

[@sloebone7399]

If you go with the UST, you have to have a fixed, perfectly flat projection screen. Any wrinkle or imperfection on the screen will show up in the picture. I love my UST, but there’s a few trade offs.

[@businessguide6219]

This video is worth watching! More of this, please!

[@jameskrolak]

Great video. I had my home theater built last April with the LG HU85LA. Good timing just as lockdowns were being enacted everywhere. I have to say that the image quality is great. The brightness is awesome. I can even watch with the curtains open on a sunny day, though it's definitely better with them closed. I have to admit that the LG is a little finicky, though. Getting it aligned just right for a nice, square image takes a bit of work. Any inconsistencies with your wall (and thus your screen mounted to it) are a lot more noticeable with a UST. My biggest complaint, however, is the WebOS on the HU85LA. It's interface is poorly designed and not intuitive at all. And the apps sometimes perform less than great. I keep having issues with it connecting to my PLEX media server--and I have other devices around my house that can connect just fine at the same time that the LG refuses to find PLEX.

[@2061526]

You said in your previous review that long throw projectors have higher resolution quality than short throws. Generally speaking. But hardly noticeable right?

[@ChrisMajestic]

Correct. Its more difficult for manufacturers to get a perfectly focused image on the screen from such a short distance so long throws are better at this.

[@proz71ful19]

Picked up a 6040ub for only 1700$!! Full 3 year warranty as well. It’s so nice even with an old bulb. I would get yourself one before you are stuck buying a 3000$+ projector

[@najmgamer4172]

Does this projector have a fully focused screen from top to bottom and corner to corner? cos lamp projectors (even expensive projectors) always will have only one part of the screen focus and the rest is horrible

[@rogerome01]

Chris, do you feel the short throw projectors can really replace a regular TV? Would be awesome to see an 85 inch tv vs the best short throw projector side by side with ambient lighting (open windows) to see the true difference. Thanks for your videos!

[@PrinceBarin77]

I think this is about the type of experience you are after. For black levels and contrast ratios, a TV will look better. But, imo, movies should be projected as the Director intended. Whilst UST has some compromises compared with their long-throw cousins, the UST does provide a more natural image that is much more authentic and I find less tiring to watch. As an LG HU85LS owner, I am delighted with the experience. But I only really use it for movies and sports. I revert to my 65inch OLED for other duties. Hope that helps a bit.

[@68HC060]

I think this is a good video, covering a lot of questions. -But one question I have is: How well does the short-throw projector perform on a "white wall". I know that a standard projector will work just fine (yes, I know you can get better picture if you use a screen, but that's not why I'm asking the question at all). The reason for me to ask the question, is that the screen for the short-throw projector is "special", it has angled horizontal segments. I can imagine that the picture would look directly horrible on a plain flat white wall. Besides, it's only because I'm curious about it; I have no plan on buying a short-throw projector and using it without a screen. -But maybe I'm just expecting too little. Could you try this out and post a short video or just write a comment saying "A screen is definitely a requirement, there's no way you can use the projector without it." ?

[@nonametofame]

Black levels can be greatly improved when using a more ideal ALR screen with a UST, especially those designed specifically for it, thus incompatible with standard throw projectors. The gain is typically 0.4 - 0.8. The one used in in the videos, at 0.9 is a bit high, so black levels will suffer.

[@RolandsZeltins]

What your suggest for bright office? What would be optimal lm for projector? And aren't short throw projectors brighter, because they are floser to screen?

[@PennyAfNorberg]

Placement for ultra short throw: put them in the ceiling? We have a short throw btw 104" on about 1.5 meter throw distance , which is half the short side of our living room. The vertical distance does matter too.

[@BendikHallstensen]

Unless you plan to skip the projector screen, I would not advise anyone to buy an ultra short throw projector. I previously had the VAVA 4K projector and although I was satisfied with the projector, getting it to match up with my projector screen was a nightmare. While with regular projectors you install the screen first and then the projector, with a UST projector this changes. You first have to find perfect placement for your UST projector and then install the screen according to the picture of the UST projector. Also, if someone bumps into the table holding the projector or the projector itself, it moves and you have to start (almost) all over again.

[@jeanpierrenshimiyimana4947]

Hi Chris, which Cinema projector could you recommend to watch football in wide venue?

[@rendermanpro]

Ultra Short Throw in 1080P - GT1080 (200" - easily) is still great. Regarding lamp replacement, if you even consider to buy 4000 bucks projector, 200-300 will be nuts for you. As well 4000-5000 hours it is about 5 years by 3 hours in every singe day. Regarding "do not need professional installation" - you have very specific fancy screen, with normal screen under that angle I assume that it will be huge reflection from screen to the ceiling

5050UB + matte white wall, super bright, save 💰 on projection screen. Still very usable in lit living room. Even brighter zooming to "smaller" size like 70", at a single press of button... also a cluster free wall and floor when off. currently projector place 7ft on top of shelf in back of sofa... place flat and use lens shift 👌 The projection shoes up like an lcd screen on the wall, makes it easier to manual focus, and wysiwyg sharp pixels, even if it's not full 4k, the system has way higher entertainment factor for everyone. Phil Holland's 12K over nyc artifact free video test passed 👌. This coming from over $5k 1080ub+screen setup over s decade ago... which quickly became a loner's theater. Also never replaced the bulb... but Self service bulb replacement preferred, and they are cheap now. Also, how much worse is a shadow vs a person blocking the screen walking by? Free to kick their butt 😂.

How do they compare on brightness in different lighting situations? Like in normal room (with windows) in daylight, normal room in the evening, home theater room (no windows) with dim lighting, and home theater room with all lights off. It seems the UST would be brighter overall particularly in normal brighter lighting situations since it has less distance to throw through? With any projection, yes, you're always going to want the room as dark as possible, but, if one of these projector styles does better in normal brighter lighting situations, that could be a deciding factor for a lot of people.

[@stealth418]

The biggest issue for me was center channel placement and mounting the UST projector low enough. A standard height TV stand is much too tall when trying to throw a 120" picture on a wall with 8 foot ceilings. The top of the picture will end up almost on the ceiling. Ideally, you want your eyes centered at 2/3rds of the way down the screen when sitting. I ended up having to make a custom piece of furniture that is 11" in height for the projector to sit on with a cubby hole on the bottom to hold my center speaker on the bottom. The lower shelf that holds the center channel has a ridge in front to help 'aim' the center speaker directly at the listeners ears when in the seating position 13 feet away. It isn't ideal to place the center near the floor, but it was my only option.

If you sit the device on top of the center channel speaker, does vibrations from the speaker not transmit to the picture?

What's the height clearance if I go with a 135-inch screen? I have plenty of room on my wall(20x30). I think that's the screen size you reviewed with my LG HU85LA. Thanks
