Awol Vision has introduced an innovative home entertainment device at a recent tech showcase, unveiling the LuxVision ultra-short throw (UST) projector running Google TV. What sets this model apart from competitors is its inclusion of detail-preserving optical lens shift, a feature rarely seen in short-throw projectors relying on digital manipulation.
The projector is capable of producing a massive 120-inch image in crisp 4K resolution at a 120Hz refresh rate, reaching an impressive brightness of 6000 ISO Lumens when placed merely 7.5 inches away from the wall. Its vertical lens shift mechanism enables users to raise or lower the image projection physically, bypassing the need for digital keystone correction that typically degrades pixel quality.

Designed to attract sports enthusiasts, the LuxVision emphasizes motion fluidity alongside features tailored for gamers, including Dolby Vision Gaming HDR, ALLM, VRR, and an extremely low input lag of approximately 1 millisecond. Connectivity options are robust, featuring three HDMI 2.1 ports, a DisplayPort, and HDMI Multiview to display up to four simultaneous video sources.
To serve as a viable television replacement for modern living rooms, the LuxVision will be offered in a variety of color options and premium trims. The hardware carries a list price of $6,499 in the United States, €5,999 in Europe, and £4,999 in the UK, with shipments targeted to begin around October.
Integrating optical lens shift into an ultra-short throw projector addresses a major engineering hurdle in home theater design. Traditional UST units frequently require precise physical placement because digital image shifting compromises native resolution. Providing physical glass shift elements allows for flexible installation without sacrificing the fidelity of a high-resolution 4K source.
Prospective buyers should note that achieving optimal performance may require investing an additional $1,000 in an ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) screen. Awol Vision plans to launch preorders accompanied by introductory discounts starting on September 5th ahead of official product reviews.
