What it does well

3,500 ANSI lumens is the brightest standard-throw figure among the lifestyle projectors here
A 1.67x optical zoom over a 0.90-1.50 throw range, so it fits short and long rooms alike
The motorized gimbal aims and aligns without any manual keystone adjustment
Detachable wireless satellites turn the built-in audio into a genuine surround setup
30,000-hour laser and licensed Google TV
5,000:1 native contrast is high for a tri-laser design

What it gives up

60 Hz only, with no published input-lag figure — not a gaming projector
Anker publishes no fan-noise figure, and the gimbal adds moving parts
$2,749 puts it against laser TVs that need no screen wall clearance
Anker's projector service history is shorter than the established projector brands

Throw calculator

Worked from this projector’s published throw ratio of 0.9–1.5:1. Estimates: a real install loses a little to lens offset, and zoom ranges are quoted at the extremes of the lens.
