For a 120-inch image, the projector front will need to be 68cm out from the screen. For a 100-inch image, the back of the projector needs to be 25cm from the wall, remembering that the projector itself is 32cm deep, putting the projector’s front feet around 50cm from the wall. The throw distances remain the same whether benched below or mounted above. The USB-A slot can’t play media, but provides handy power were you to plug another dongle, such as a Chromecast, into one of the rear HDMI sockets.Īnd while you don’t have to ceiling-mount the L1+, you certainly can if you wish, getting it out of the way for a permanent installation, and with the advantage of ultra-short-throw that it will be in a position relatively close to the image position, not hanging down in the middle of the room. There are two HDMI inputs on the back and a third mini-HDMI inside for the smart AndroidTV dongle. It has its own sound system but it’s easy enough to add an external system thanks to the optical audio out, or even the stereo minijack audio out, although here there’s no HDMI eARC option provided, as is available on Optoma’s higher CinemaX D2 UST projector. ![]() While the L1+ is designed to provide everything you need in one box, it is also versatile. It’s an eco-sensitive attitude which continues into the L1+’s power-saving modes. But it also has beauty of a different kind, being built with 50 per cent post-consumer recycled materials to keep the environment in mind, and 99 per cent recyclable packaging too. It looks nice enough in moulded plastic with a fabric frontage over its speakers, and a classy gold power button. Optoma actually claims this to be the most compact and lightest 4K UST projector on the market at the time of its release. That means it has less than half the volume of, say, Hisense’s lowest-tier Laser TV console, so that’s a significant advantage in fitting into your lounge. Some ultra-short-throw projectors are pretty bulky the L1+ is surprisingly compact at 40cm wide, and even more importantly only 32cm deep, an important dimension for USTs, as we’ll see.
