Optoma UHD35STx
Best short-throw projector for competitive gamers in smaller living spaces.
This projector brings a massive, high-refresh 4K gaming experience into cramped apartments where traditional setups fail. Its short-throw lens is a game-changer for small rooms, though you’ll sacrifice the flexibility of a long-distance zoom for that immediate, wall-filling immersion.
