5 Projector trends at CES 2020

This year at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada (CES 2020, January 7-10) major projector manufacturers focused on the Ultra Short Throw segment, LED, Laser Lamp technology and UHD resolution.

1- Ultra Short Throw projectors are still pricey and only good for screens up to 150”

The most affordable one in 4K UST class, the VAVA VA-LT002, has Android onboard, supports high contrast content HDR10 and retails at $2,799.99

2- Elite Screens announced their branded UST projector in November and presented at CES

Elite Screens showed two projector models - the most interesting one is the battery powered MosicGO Sport MGFU-S - 1080p Ultra Short Throw - unfortunately it’s only 1,000 lumens bright.
