Sony's Dreamy Life Space UX Projector Beams a 4K Display from Up Close

[snowComet]

Sony released a new 4K projector called 4K Ultra Short Throw Projector in CES, that will turn any wall into a 4K display. The best thing about this projector is you don't need to place the projector far away from the wall, over your head,  but just placed it in front of a wall.

 

 

It's a bit of the future and the Ultra Short Throw Projector is supposedly coming out this summer (for a future worthy price of $30,000 to $40,000). Sony says that installing the projector is as simple as setting it "right next to a wall". The idea is that it'll look more like a piece of furniture (like a TV console) than a piece of technology. Only a piece of furniture that uses future tech.

 

 

The projected video can be beamed with laser light source for a screen size anywhere from 66-inches to 147-inches big. The projector itself will be 43.3″ x 10.4″ x 21.1″ big and have 4 HDMI ports. The size is on the huger end of things but at least you won't need a TV stand.

This looks... interesting. 

 

But yet too expensive. Who is honestly going to buy a 4K projector for that price?

[Jogostar]

dman, you ninja'd me. ^^

[Tea1337]

Yeah, that will only be $5000 +

[AlexGoesHigh]

all the rich people will buy this 

[RatedBlam]

Looks pretty neat. Maybe an evolution of the short throw tvs that were a thing when big panels were crazy expensive

[MatheusSanzo]

Yeah, I'll just sell my house, my family and my dog to buy that.

[DoubleY]

 $35,000 based on OP's post.

I actually prefer that design to the typical projectors, it's hidden when not needed unlike some of the more bulky ones.

I personally don't like projectors. They usually have a bad image when there are lights around.

Ah, he updated it. and DAMN That's a lot of money for a projector, but it is pretty cool.

Yea, he did update it

 

My original post was asking how much it would be. Then I refreshed and he had already edited in the price!

[chillxnate]

If this were more affordable I'd be into it. Defenitely like the design over traditional projectors.

Better have a dark living room or everything will looked washed out.... Or you could you know, just buy a 4K TV. Just a thought.

[nicholaswillems]

All projector tv's I've seen in stores looked really washed out and dull in comparison to a tv

[jrfox87]

Very impressive product. At that price though this is definitely more of a proof of concept type thing until they can get the cost down.

[noc]

I need this in my life.... That is freaking cool!

[martinrox1568]

30,000-40,000$ actually

[atomicmonkey101]

really cool idea. You need somewhere to project it that is ideally a white surface, the space, and a dark room. Unless they have come out with some ultra bright projector a dark room is still fairy necessary for this to work.
