Review
First and foremost, let’s quickly understand what exactly is an Ultra Short Throw projector. It is a type of projector that requires very minimal space between the projection device and the surface aimed for projection, even to cast an image in a large format.

A UST projector offers a throw ratio of less than 0.4:1 as compared to the more traditional 2:1 throw ratio of regular projectors. This means we can get an 80-inch image projected from just 14 centimetres of distance using a UST projector.
The first that is instantly noticeable about Formovie THEATER is its compact design. Projectors are usually massive in size and sometime a bit of an eyesore, especially when used as home entertainment devices. But Formovie has taken care of that with this projector.
The lightweight portable design of Formovie THEATER is probably the smallest in the market today. Moreover, the usual perception of a bigger projector means better sound or lens quality is myth Formovie breaks with their product’s performance despite being small in size.

Formovie THEATER supports HDR 10 Dolby Vision Dolby Atmos 2. It is being advertised as a laser projector, ultra short throw from LAPD with RGB plus technology. The image quality is quite outstanding considering the style of the projector. It has a maximum brightness of 2800 ANC lumens and is running on Android TV 11, which is the latest version.
Formovie THEATER is quite impactful for someone who hasn’t experienced UST projectors. The device has three brightness modes for users to adjust as per requirement. There is an “Office Mode”, “Viewing Mode” and “Night Mode.” All three settings simply decrease the brightness level of the display.
The built-in speakers from Bowers and Wilkins are really impressive and provide optimum sound quality as a part of this projector.
For connectivity, we get almost everything that one would expect from a UST projector. We have three HDMI ports with one HDMI E-ARC port, which is the Enhanced Audio Return Channel for better handling of all the plugins.
All ports are located at the back of the projector, which is something of a clever way to manage the cables but may not be the most convenient position for changing wires once the device settles in its space.
