Awol Vision has introduced the first 4K 120Hz ultra-short-throw (UST) projector with optical lens shift, the LuxVision model featuring Google TV. The projector delivers a 120-inch image from just 7.5 inches away from the wall, along with 6000 ISO Lumens of brightness. Vertical lens shift moves the image up and down optically without using digital methods or keystone correction, helping preserve 4K detail.
The company is targeting sports viewers with the smoothness of a 4K 120Hz image, and gamers with Dolby Vision Gaming HDR, ALLM, VRR, and approximately 1ms of input lag. The device includes 3x HDMI 2.1, 1x DisplayPort, and HDMI Multiview for displaying four sources simultaneously. The LuxVision, which will be offered in different color and finish options, will cost $5,999 at launch “around October.” An additional approximately $1,000 may be required for an ALR screen. Awol Vision will offer discounts starting September 5 to customers who place pre-orders before reviews are published. The report was published by Thomas Ricker on September 3, 2026.
Why it matters
Offering optical lens shift in the UST category will appeal to users seeking installation flexibility without shrinking the image through digital corrections. This approach aims to reduce image alignment issues, particularly in rooms where the projector is positioned close to the wall; however, its real-world advantage will depend on the device’s performance under different installation conditions. 4K 120Hz support and gaming-focused connectivity position the product toward users who value sports and gaming experiences more than those who only want to watch films. HDMI Multiview could provide a functional distinction for users who want to monitor multiple sources simultaneously. By contrast, the approximately $5,999 price and the ALR screen, which may be purchased separately, stand out as key factors that could limit the product’s potential user base.
