Bro, thanks for the information. Quick follow-up. Will you please do a follow-up of your original best short throw projector screen?. You are the best. Thank you.
I have been using my project with keystone as I was struggling to align my UST... this guide is a must have, it took me like 10min following your guideline to get a perfect alignment of my UST ... so grateful thank you so much !
As an A/V Technician that sets all types of projectors regularly, this is a great crash course! I'll definitely share this with newer folks who are struggling. It was a good refresher for me, too. Cheers!
Side note: I'm currently working a show where I'm converging two 25k projectors onto a 40' screen. I definitely had to use a bit of geometry adjustment for this one. ;)
Solid walkthrough. I might just 3D print something if I needed the projector feet to have more adjustability than they do. Of course, ideally, getting everything placed exactly right is the way.
Just got the formovie theater and getting a static/grainy looking image. I did have to use keystone quite a bit for my space with my ceilings, would that cause this? Projector lens dirty? I do have a brand new hdmi cable which I used on previous projector and worked fine. I included a image hopefully it will show the issue clearly. Equipment: Formovie theater Onkyo NR6050 Panasonic UB820 This problem still happens on streaming from plex as well. Formovie ALR 100” screen
I 'm using an LS800, and I can basically get what you show at 0:35. The top of the image is parallel with the top of the screen but the bottom of the image is not parallel with the bottom of the screen. The only difference is that at 0:35, the bottom-right corner is lower than the bottom-left corner, but for mine, the bottom left corner is lower than the bottom right corner. I can rotate the left and right legs to mage the left and right side of the image more parallel with the left and right side of the screen, but that bottom left corner is still lower than the bottom right corner. I don't see how to move the projector so that I can level out the bottom side of the image without ruining everything else. You can adjust the left leg to make the bottom-left corner higher and the right leg to make the bottom right corner lower, but doing so with the left leg will also make the left side of the image slant way to the right (so that the bottom left corner has an angle lower than 90 degrees), and doing so with the right leg will make the right side of the image slant way to the right (so that the bottom right corner has an angle greater than 90 degrees) because the impact of adjusting the legs is much greater on how the sides slant than on how high the bottom corners are raised or elevated.
A UST screen with a normal throw projector will result in a lot of lost brightness. A UST projector with a non-UST screen works fine as long as the screen is properly tensioned (pull down screens need to be "tab tensioned"), but be aware that you will get ceiling reflections so most people using a UST with a non-UST screen choose to put velvet above their screen, or at least paint the ceiling a dark color.
It will specifically be a "gaming projector" video, so the X500i probably fits, but I was planning on having the X3100i, so we'll see if I have room in the budget for both.
@@TheHookUp thank you so much! Much respect on your reviews.. kudos.. my budget is only on X2-4K and x500i for 4k.. and ofcourse ht2060 for 1080p which should be below 1k dollar on Black Friday.. hahhaa..
@TheHookUp found one from Viewsonic. LX700-4k model.. seems like a dreamy projector based from specs. For less than 1500USD (converted from Pound). Laser 4k 3500lumens Xbox certified as well for less. Though ofcourse I will rely on your expertise if these claims are true i.e. lumens, color accuracy.. Cheers! Thanks. I hope you check on this
Can you tell me what my problem is when the top of the screen is blurry and the bottom is clear? I put it on a screen and then just the wall and had the same issue . It's an Aurora Pro projector.
@@TheHookUp the focus is maxed out. I’ve tried a couple places to project this now. Using it just on my wall and my buddies screen. It has the exact same problem. Blurry top all across and clear bottom.
@@TheHookUp My son probably :) But I am also thinking about cleaning around the projector etc. It seems that even a millimeter of movement could cause an obvious misalignment. If it was screwed on the ceiling then I wouldn't worry about it, but just sitting on a credenza with shims under the projector etc, does not seem like something that you would set once and forget about it, especially if you have young kids. Maybe they need to invent some mechanical lens which self-aligns to the screen as a better alternative to auto-keystone. This way you would have to just get it close enough, and the projector would do the rest on its own, and be able to fix any small future movements also.

A lot of great info and helpful techniques here, thank you for doing this!
This is great, so helpful and rarely mentioned.
This was super helpful! Thank you

Great guide. I can send this to people instead of trying to explain it to them. Thanks 👍
The info-man comes thru again. I'm sure this will come in handy if I ever decide to upgrade to one of these screens.
Informative 👍👌
F*n great videos🤙
Great video!!! Any chance you will be making a video comparison for soundbars?

Hello ! How r ? I want to know......
the best full HD Projector under $800 and....
What about AOC K1S projector ?
Thanks.
What ya think about an over the air antenna series? :)
Not really something that interests me, but @LonSeidman does a great job covering them.
thanx!@@TheHookUp
Any new sub $300 projectors in 2023 you think above 2022's?
What is the trolly you have your projector sitting on?
It's a little laptop desk I use for testing projectors: amzn.to/3SwxG8E
Hi Rob, can I use an UST screen with a normal throw projector? And can I use a UST Projector with a normal non UST screen?
A UST screen with a normal throw projector will result in a lot of lost brightness. A UST projector with a non-UST screen works fine as long as the screen is properly tensioned (pull down screens need to be "tab tensioned"), but be aware that you will get ceiling reflections so most people using a UST with a non-UST screen choose to put velvet above their screen, or at least paint the ceiling a dark color.
Are you gonna review the BenQ X3100i? Your expertise is needed.
Yes, but probably not until February 2024.
Can you review Viewsonic X2-4K vs Benq X500i? Please.. I think these 2 are toe to toe.. maybe include Benq ht2060.. thanks
I will be reviewing the X2-4K, but not until February 2024.
@@TheHookUp awww.. well just need to wait.. hopefully you could include Benq X500i and Benq HT2060.. thank you and more power

The entire top, or just a corner?
@@TheHookUp entire top
Have you adjusted the focus in the menu of the projector?
@@TheHookUp the focus is maxed out. I’ve tried a couple places to project this now. Using it just on my wall and my buddies screen. It has the exact same problem. Blurry top all across and clear bottom.
@@patrickhiggins8269 I think you should contact Nexigo, doesn't sound normal.
I dont have a UST, but i watched to support your channel, respect 🫡
Sounds like Linus Tech tips could have used this help XD
Yah it's pretty painful watching Linus look at projectors 🤣🤣 they need a lot of help in that department lol
I’m stuck on step 1
And after spending 5 hours trying to perfectly align the image to the screen, somebody knocks the credenza a bit and everything is lost.
Who's walking around your house bumping into furniture hard enough to move it?
@@TheHookUp My son probably :) But I am also thinking about cleaning around the projector etc. It seems that even a millimeter of movement could cause an obvious misalignment.

The hisense PX2 actually comes with brackets that stick to your furniture with double sided tape to stop the feet from moving once aligned.
