The CHiQ B8U is a 4K laser ultra short throw projector designed for big-screen home cinema in a compact living-room setup. With 2300 ANSI lumens, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, Android TV, 0.21:1 ultra short throw projection and integrated smart features, it delivers a bright and convenient 4K entertainment experience without needing a long projection distance.
A compact 4K laser cinema for the modern living room
Ultra short throw projection means the projector can sit close to the wall or screen while still producing a large cinematic image. This makes B8U suitable for homes where a conventional long-throw projector would be difficult to position.
The B8U combines laser projection, HDR format support, smart Android TV features, voice control and built-in speakers in one unit. It is designed for customers who want a clean home cinema setup without a complicated AV installation.
