Ultra Short Throw Projector Stands
A prime consideration when selecting any specific stand or cabinet on/in which to place and support your ultra short throw projector is the projector’s height above the floor. Furniture that is too tall (like many television stands) and/or a ceiling that is too low could limit the size of your UST projector’s image or the screen you can use. Don’t forget to calculate for the extra vertical height required between the horizontal surface where the bottom of your UST projector sits and the bottom of the projected image, which typically varies from around a foot to a foot and a half or so depending on the specific projector and how large your image/screen will be.
Although the difference between what is considered a “stand” versus a “cabinet” can be somewhat ambiguous, in general a stand will have your ultra short throw projector sitting on top of it at all times, while a cabinet encloses the UST projector inside a slide-out drawer both for a “cleaner look” and also to protect it from dust and potential damage while not in use.
If you plan on using the speakers built-into your ultra short throw projector instead of connecting an external audio system such as a home theater system or soundbar system, you may be better off with an open stand so as to not block any of the UST projector’s integrated speakers.
The ultra short throw projector stands featured above are shorter than regular television stands, allowing you the potential of a much larger image. Also, because of their UST projector platforms which only temporarily extend out into the room, you can have your furniture permanently located much nearer to the wall than would otherwise be possible.
