Awol Vision launches LuxVision, first 4K 120Hz ultra-short throw projector with optical lens shift
The projector combines optical lens shift technology with high refresh rate gaming capabilities and 6000 ISO Lumens brightness in a 120-inch display from just 7.5 inches away.
What happened
Awol Vision announced the LuxVision, an ultra-short throw (UST) projector featuring optical vertical lens shift, 4K resolution at 120Hz, and 6000 ISO Lumens brightness capable of producing a 120-inch image from 7.5 inches away from the wall. The projector uses optical rather than digital lens shift to preserve image detail without keystone correction or projector repositioning. It includes gaming-focused features such as Dolby Vision Gaming HDR, ALLM, VRR, and approximately 1ms input lag, along with 3x HDMI 2.1 ports, 1x DisplayPort, and HDMI Multiview for up to four simultaneous sources. The LuxVision is priced at $6,499 (US), with availability targeted for around October, and Awol Vision is offering preorder discounts starting September 5th.
Context
The 4K 120Hz specification remains rare in the projector market, making this device notable for sports and gaming use cases that benefit from high refresh rates. The optical lens shift mechanism is presented as a technical distinction from competitors, addressing a common limitation of UST projectors that typically rely on digital manipulation to reposition the image. The price point and optional $1,000 ALR screen reflect positioning this as a premium TV replacement for consumers with substantial budgets. The combination of gaming features (low input lag, VRR, gaming HDR) and sports-friendly high refresh rate suggests Awol Vision is targeting dual audiences—gamers and sports viewers—who prioritize motion fluidity and responsiveness.
