Research stance: every verdict is built from published throw ratios, ANSI-lumen ratings, and contrast specs — we did not physically test any projector.
UST or long-throw — and how many lumens?
Three calls — your room size, your ambient light, your budget — chart the throw type, the ANSI-lumen target, and the screen pairing the published specs support. No tested-it claims, just the spec logic.
Make all three calls to chart your projector.
