  • Sony has announced a new short throw projector called the 'Sony Life Space UX' - a new kind of projector that sits next to your wall and projects a 4K Display onto your wall. Who needs ultra wide-screen televisions now? Well, we have to wait to find out the review. As of now, we know that Sony CEO Kaz Hirai today shared that the Ultra Short Throw Projector will be launching this summer in the US. The projector will be able to project up to 177-inch 4K videos on to walls. The projector itself will be 43.3 inches x 10.4 inches x 21.1 inches big and have 4x HDMI ports. The best thing about it is that it sits next to the wall, thereby eliminating the chances of viewer shadows interfering with the projection.

    Equipped with an SXRD panel, the 4K projector brings in four times the resolution of HD. So, what is meant to be seen in HD, will remain HD even on such a huge screen. The Sony Life Space UX Projector features resize projection as needed. Users can adjust the 1.6x power zoom lens to choose a size to suit your wall space. With this projector, you don't have to worry about replacing the lamp either. The projector's laser light source reaches peak brightness much faster than typical lamp-driven projectors. Due to this technology, brightness and color accuracy is maintained over a long period of time.

    The projector has a resolution of 4096 by 2160 pixels and a light output of 2,000 lumens, and it can cast images from 66 to 147 inches in size. Apart from playing TV, online video, movies and other 4K content, the projector can be used to create a kind of virtual window. "This state-of-the-art device can be placed anywhere in the home, turning the environment into a dynamic living space," Hirai said in his keynote address. "Normal walls will become fluid displays. You can create a window with a view of the outside which transitions throughout the day, or you could turn your favorite movie scenes into wall art, with gradual transitions bringing mood and atmosphere to the places where you live and work."

    How do you like the Sony Life Space UX projector? It is will priced at $30,000 to $40,000 in US and become available in mid-2014. Let us know your thoughts on this one in comments below.
