Projectors may not be for everyone but the continuous development in laser projection technology makes Formovie rise from the ground up.

Formovie? What?

You may have never heard of them before, but now you do!

Formovie is another revolutionary company from China that specializes in smart projectors and laser TVs.

But what makes them even more interesting is that, they’re actually co-founded by Xiaomi alongside Appotronics. This also makes them a part of the vast Mi ecosystem.

Theater-like in a nutshell

The newly-launched Formovie Theater Premium is the brand’s latest ultra-short-throw projector offering. Take note, this is NOT their first-ever projector. Its predecessor was named simply as “Theater”.

That said, it’s still powered by ALPD® 4.0 RGB+ triple laser technology. This was developed by, you guessed it, Appotronics — Formovie’s parent company.

Such breakthrough in laser technology gives an astounding 107% BT.2020 wide color gamut coverage plus Dolby Vision support as well for HDR10 / HDR10+ content. Lifespan is expected of up to 30,000 hours for consistent brightness.

Formovie’s R&D Team even managed to make it 1.25x clearer and more color-accurate than the previous model. This projector can also produce over 2200 ISO lumens with a 3000:1 contrast ratio.

To make the audio experience truly world-class, they have partnered up with Bowers & Wilkins. This just means that audio quality is unrivaled with its excellent 2nd-gen acoustic system with upgraded materials and enhanced sound tuning.

There are also dual 15W speakers with a 990cc sound chamber responsible for bringing that deeper bass. More so, a treble unit with a titanium diaphragm and filtering capacitors for great highs and clearer output.

Dolby Atmos and DTS-X support are also here to ensure ultra-premium sound quality.

Ultra-short in throw, not in performance

One of the key highlights of this projector is none other than its ultra-short throw ratio of just 0.21:1. This just means it allows to be placed 18% closer to the wall. Projection height can also be lowered further down by nearly 40% for an extra-large 100-inch image.

But that’s not just about it. It can project as massive as 150-inches even if it’s just placed just 42cm away. This makes it very suitable to transform rooms into theaters without sacrificing much of the overall screen size.

And unlike other projector brands, Formovie Theater Premium has an integrated Google TV with thousands of streaming apps such as YouTube, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and more. Plus!? Actual Native support for Netflix for that hassle-free streaming that most projector users seem to struggle with.

For viewers with sensitive eyes, MEMC (Motion Estimation, Motion Compensation) technology inserts frames in fast-paced action scenes and live sports to give smooth flow and reduce (or completely eliminate) motion blur.

Gaming on a projector? No problemo!

There’s a low-latency Game Mode feature with a response time of just 18ms. This just ensures a fluid and responsive gaming with no lag.
