What exactly is a laser TV projector? The technology explained simply

A laser TV projector is essentially a state-of-the-art ultra-short throw projector equipped with an extremely long-lasting laser light source and built-in smart TV functions. The main difference compared to a traditional projector is that: you don’t need to go to the trouble of mounting it on the ceiling or projecting the image across the room. A laser TV projector sits directly in front of the wall, for example on your lowboard. A distance of just 10 to 30 centimetres is enough to project breathtakingly large images. This makes these projectors the perfect solution even for smaller living rooms and allows for almost invisible integration into specialised media units. Thanks to built-in soundbars and smart operating systems, these devices are fully-fledged all-in-one solutions for any living room.

Advantages of laser TV projectors – why it’s worth upgrading

A laser TV projector combines the best of both worlds: the huge cinema-sized picture and the convenience of a television.


TN-Panel

Large screen sizes

Bring a 100- or 200-inch display into your home without a bulky, black display dominating the room when the device is switched off.

VA-Panel

Easy installation

No long cables running across the living room and no complicated ceiling mounting. Just set up the laser TV, plug it in, and you’re done.

IPS-Panel

Maintenance-free & durable

Thanks to the laser light source, there’s no need for the fiddly and expensive lamp replacements required by traditional projectors. Modern laser TV projectors last between 20,000 and 25,000 hours – that’s decades of home cinema enjoyment.

Gentle on the eyes

As with an ultra-short throw projector, you are not looking directly into a light source but seeing the light reflected from the projection screen, making viewing significantly more relaxing for the eyes.

Whisper-quiet operation

Unlike many traditional home cinema projectors, laser TV projectors often operate much more quietly thanks to their larger casing and innovative cooling technology. This means you can enjoy quiet film scenes and gripping dialogue without any distracting fan noise.

Smart versatility at the touch of a button

Thanks to built-in Smart TV operating systems such as AirPlay, Android TV and Vidaa, you have direct access to your favourite streaming apps – whether it’s Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ or YouTube.

Buying a laser TV projector: These are the key criteria

To ensure your new home cinema is the perfect fit for you, you should bear the following specifications in mind:

01

Brightness

As laser TVs are usually used in the living room, we recommend models with at least 2,000 to 2,500 lumens. As a general rule, the brighter the room, the more light output is required.

02

Resolution

For razor-sharp images with high levels of detail and a genuine cinema experience, 4K UHD is the right choice.

03

Projection ratio

Make sure you check exactly how much space the device needs from the wall for your desired image size, so that your furniture or lowboard is deep enough.

04

Connections & compatibility

The laser TV projector you choose should offer all the necessary connections to ensure it is fully compatible with your existing devices (game consoles, soundbars, etc.).

Laser TV projectors vs. televisions

Why not just buy a big TV? To help you make your decision, we’ve summarised the key differences between a modern laser TV projector and a conventional large-screen TV for you:


laser TV projector
Traditional projector
Screen sizeHuge screen sizes ranging from 100 to 200 inches on some projectorsUp to 85 inches as standard; larger models are very niche products
Room aestheticsProjector discreetly placed on the sideboard; projection screen unobtrusively mounted on the wall or retractable and neatly stowed awayWhen switched off, the black surface can be visually distracting and cause reflections in sunlight
Brightness / DaylightVery good in controlled ambient light; loses contrast in direct sunlightExtremely bright; delivers a high-contrast image even in direct sunlight, but reflections appear on the surface when exposed to direct sunlight
Transport & Set-upCompact unit in a handy cardboard boxHeavy and bulky; larger models often require several people to handle
Viewing angleVery stable; optimised for the seating area depending on the CLR projection screen usedOLEDs offer perfect viewing angles; LCDs often lose colour from the sides

Integrated Smart features – a limitless streaming experience

A laser TV projector is not just a display device, but a fully equipped entertainment hub that is every bit as good as a traditional smart TV. Thanks to modern operating systems such as Android TV, Vidaa or webOS, it offers you the full range of smart features:

Voice control

Many models support voice assistants such as Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, so you can start the next film or adjust the volume with a simple voice command.

The right projection screen: The must-have for perfect images

A laser TV projector is only as good as the surface onto which it projects! A bare white wall does not make full use of the device’s potential, as the light striking the surface at a steep angle is reflected off the ceiling, whilst ambient light from the room makes the image appear washed out.
The solution: special CLR (Ceiling Light Rejecting) or ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) projection screens. These absorb distracting ceiling light and direct the light from the laser TV projector straight forwards towards the viewer. The result is deep blacks, brilliant colours and an image with extremely high contrast.
To ensure the setup blends in perfectly with your living room décor, these special high-contrast screens are available in various designs:

Fixed frame projector screens:
The elegant classic.

They hang permanently on the wall like a flat, modern picture frame and guarantee a perfectly flat projection surface. Their elegant design makes them a real eye-catcher in your home cinema and ensures the best possible projection quality from your laser TV at all times.

celexon-ust-hochkontrast-bodenscheren-leinwand-homecinema-plus-100-schwarz-anschnitt

Electric floor projection screens:
The invisible solution.

These models stand on the floor or are integrated directly into your laser TV furniture. They extend upwards electrically only when in use and retract completely back into the housing when not in use. Ideal for living rooms where you don’t want the technology to dominate the space.

celexon-darkvision-alr-premium-plus-leinwand-motor-tension-243-x-136-cm-110-anschnitt

Electric projection screens:
The space-saving alternative.

They are mounted on or discreetly into the ceiling and extend gently downwards at the touch of a button. They are the perfect choice if you wish to use the wall space for other purposes without compromising on the picture quality of the laser TV.
