Stands and Cabinets for Ultra Short Throw Projectors
If you will simply be setting up a plug-and-play electric/motorized floor-rising ALR (Ambient Light Rejecting) projection screen together with an ultra short throw projector placed directly on the floor in front of it, you obviously don’t need to buy a stand or cabinet specifically to hold your UST projector. Therefore, for the rest of this page, I assume that you will be installing EITHER a wall-mount fixed-frame ALR screen OR a wall/ceiling-mount electric/motorized drop-down ALR screen. Or, you plan to project directly onto a flat wall.
A prime consideration when selecting a specific stand or cabinet on/in which to place and support your UST projector is height above the floor, because a stand or cabinet that is too tall and/or a ceiling that is too low could potentially limit the size of your image/screen. Don’t forget to calculate for vertical offset, the extra height required between the horizontal surface where the bottom of your UST projector rests and the bottom of the projected image/screen, which typically varies from around a foot to a foot and a half or so depending on your specific UST projector model and how large your image/screen will be.
