Sony Intros LSPX-A1 Ultra Short Throw Projector

CES 2018 has Sony show off a high-end 4K ultra short throw projector-- the LSPX-A1, a projector the company claims provides nothing less than a "truly transformative cinematic experience."

Sony projectorThe LSPX-A1 is designed to sit close to the walls, and is able to project a 120-inch image from a distance of 24cm. Projected images are at native 4K resolution (4096 x 2160) and come complete with HDR and 2500 lumens peak brightness. It should be compatible with any 4K content source, be it a connected device or 4K Blu-ray players.

Audio is also catered for, with a Glass Sound Speaker able to generate 360-degree audio. It carries x2 organic glass tweeters on the front legs, x3 midrange speakers and a separate subwoofer. The centre speaker reflects sound off the wall the projector faces, further elevating the sound field.

As part of the Sony "Life Space UX" concept, the LSPX-A1 is also something of a looker, with an engineered marble top, half mirror finished alumnium shelf and wooden frame. A rear cover hides all connectors while allowing easy cable management, and the included remote has a similar minimalist look.

The LSPX-A1 ships in the US on Q2 2018.
