Giant Short-Throw Laser Projectors Aim to Cut the TV Cord at IFA 2026
IFA 2026 is showcasing a wave of giant short-throw laser projectors that sit on a TV stand and promise 4K at 120Hz and up to 200-inch images, with Awol Vision’s LuxVision delivering about 6,000 ISO lumens and optical lens shift and Xgimi’s Aura 3 Max using a dual-iris system for deeper blacks. Other models (e.g., JMGO Iris series) follow suit, and prices span roughly $2,100–$6,000 (Aura 3 Pro via a Kickstarter launching Oct 20 at around $2,100; LuxVision around $6,000). While these can rival large TVs on screen size, wall space and cost remain major factors for TV replacement.
