If you’re looking for the large surface movie theatre acquisition astatine home—we’re talking 100+ inches—a projector is usually the astir affordable mode to go. But if wealth is nary entity and you’d alternatively skip the cumbersome setup, calibration, and surface mounting steps that usually travel with a projector, AWOL’s Vision Vanish packs a short-throw projector, speakers, and a retractable self-standing surface into a azygous cabinet.

Unlike a TV that you mightiness conscionable plop onto a furniture oregon bent connected a wall, projectors necessitate a small much readying erstwhile it comes to turning a abstraction into a location theater. Long-throw projectors that beryllium astatine the backmost of a country are cheaper, but radical walking successful and retired of the country tin transverse the beam and artifact the projected image. Short-throw projectors lick that problem, but astatine an added cost. Despite the name, they besides inactive often request to beryllium respective inches from a partition to maximize the size of the projected image.

You tin ever usage a large bare partition arsenic a screen, but for optimal results, including connected metrics similar brightness, contrast, and close colour reproduction, a highly-reflective projector surface is the preferred mode to go. Unfortunately, this often requires analyzable installation erstwhile going 100 inches and larger. It makes splurging connected a elephantine TV look similar the easiest route, but AWOL’s Vision Vanish looks similar it solves galore of the symptom points of opting for a projector.

When installed, the Vision Vanish looks similar a mostly non-descript 8 to 10-foot agelong achromatic cabinet, and it tin adjacent beryllium utilized against a partition that’s already covered successful artwork, oregon 1 with a window, without affecting its performance.

At the property of a button, a hidden rolling surface automatically raises retired of the backmost of the Vision Vanish cabinet, portion a compartment astatine the beforehand extends to uncover an AWOL LVT-3500 triple laser projector inside, which ends up positioned astatine the cleanable region to capable the surface erstwhile it’s afloat raised. The projector itself boats 3,500 ANSI lumens, HDR 10+ support, built-in 36-watt speakers, and the quality to show 3D content, for those inactive holding onto that dream.

AWOL says the LVT-3500 laser projector included with the Vision Vanish is really susceptible of projecting images up to 150-inches successful size, but this all-in-one solution comes successful 2 versions, with surface sizes constricted to either 100 inches oregon 120 inches. And portion that bundled laser projector currently sells for $4,600 each connected its own, the complete Vision Vanish package, including the furniture and pop-up screen, sells for $15,000 for the 100-inch mentation oregon $16,000 for the 120-inch one. Not inexpensive by immoderate agelong of the imagination, and you tin surely enactment unneurotic your ain short-throw projector and surface for a batch little money, but the entreaty present is simply a solution that wholly disappears erstwhile the movie is over, each astatine the propulsion of a button.
