A 1080p laser 3LCD cube on a rotating stand that swivels 150 degrees, so it can throw at a wall or straight up at the ceiling. At 22 dB it has the lowest normal-mode noise figure in this catalog, and Google TV with Dolby Audio makes it a self-contained appliance.

What it does well

22 dB in normal mode is the lowest normal-mode figure here, 2 dB under the next quietest
The swivel stand aims it at the ceiling without a mount, which is the whole point in a bedroom
Three-chip 3LCD keeps color brightness equal to white brightness even at 1,000 lumens
Google TV is licensed with Netflix built in, and the 20,000-hour laser means no lamp
6.6 lb and self-contained — it moves room to room in one hand

What it gives up

1,000 ISO lumens is a dark-room number; daylight washes it out
1080p only, and a 1.03 fixed throw ratio with no zoom fixes where it has to sit
One HDMI port, so a console and a streamer cannot both stay connected
$999 buys considerably more brightness and resolution in a less elegant box

Throw calculator

Worked from this projector’s published throw ratio of 1.03:1. Estimates: a real install loses a little to lens offset, and zoom ranges are quoted at the extremes of the lens.

Throw at a glance

Screen at 8 ft: 107 in
Screen at 10 ft: 134 in
Screen at 14 ft: 187 in
100-inch screen at: 7 ft 6 in
120-inch screen at: 8 ft 12 in

16:9 diagonals, estimated from the published throw ratio: image width = distance ÷ throw ratio, diagonal = width ÷ 0.8716. The maths.
