Why stop at 85 inches when you can go even bigger with a projector and turn the Grand Final into a truly cinematic event? Where traditional projectors are positioned at least four metres from a wall or screen, advanced laser tech has narrowed the distance down to just 30cm. Short throw laser projectors are a big screen buff’s dream come true – a compact, portable device that can beam a cinema-sized image of up to 130 inches onto the nearest wall or rollable screen – all in glorious 4K resolution and HDR. So, if you want to replicate the feeling of scoring a Level 1 seat on the MCG wing, a short-throw laser projector will totally immerse you in all the action and tempt you to take a speccy from your seat.
