4K laser beamer Casiris A6 hands-on: Triple laser with great colors and low noise levels

[Redaktion]

If you look for 4K or UHD projectors on Amazon (at least in Europe), the CASIRIS A6 laser projector will show up near the top of the list for around EUR 2,150 ($2,370). We therefore organized a sample in order to test this ultra-short-throw (UST) projector with 2,200 ANSI Lumens, HDR 10, WiFi and Bluetooth.

While it's good to test how well a projector handles a subpar screen, it shouldn't be judged solely on that. It's very likely the sharpness issues, i.e. not being able to sharpen it at the top and bottom, were caused by the screen, not the projector. Also, UST projectors require a very specific type of screen, and so this review really handicapped it in terms of image quality and especially brightness by not doing so.

I'm glad they reviewed it with a non-UST screen. No one I know is rich enough to splurge $2400 on a projector and another $1000 on a UST screen. Most normal people, me included, settle with a cheapo $200 screen (though to many people even $200 is too much). This makes the review more relevant to the majority of consumers who might be looking to buy this.

Wake me up when these are < $1k and small. Right now they're obviously prototypes.
By the way, nobody except germanpeople calls these "beamers," it sounds dumb (although "handy" is winning).

As I said, it's good they reviewed it with a "poor" screen, but it still should be reviewed with an appropriate screen as well, or at the very least a flat one.
