Large 4K cinema image from a very short distance
A5U is designed to replace a long-throw projector setup with a cleaner ultra short throw layout. Place the projector close to the wall or screen and enjoy a large image without running a long ceiling-mounted installation.
Its laser light source, 4K UHD DLP platform, wide colour performance, HDR compatibility and media player functions make it suitable for movies, streaming devices, sport, gaming and general living-room entertainment.
Bright, connected and built for big-screen entertainment
4K UHD detail
3840 × 2160 resolution gives a sharper and more detailed image than Full HD, especially on larger screen sizes.
Ultra short throw setup
The 0.21:1 throw ratio allows a 100-inch image from around 19.5cm, helping keep the room layout clean and practical.
Laser light source
Solid-state laser illumination provides long service life of around 25,000 hours and lower maintenance compared with lamp projectors.
HDR10 and HLG support
HDR decoding helps bring more contrast, depth and visible image detail from compatible content.
MEMC motion processing
Motion compensation helps reduce blur and judder for sport, films and fast-moving video content.
Built-in Android features
Android system, built-in media playback, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and DLNA support give flexible viewing and connection options.
Connect your media players, consoles and sound system
A5U includes two HDMI 2.0 inputs, USB 2.0 ports, RJ45 Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, coaxial digital audio output, 3.5mm audio output and VGA-related inputs. One HDMI port supports ARC, making it easier to connect to compatible audio equipment.
