There are generally two trains of thought to digesting streamed media in a common space. The first is the most common and involves a nice UHD or 4K TV. The second, less common approach, is getting a smart short-throw projector that takes up minimal space and offers up to 120 inches of clear, crisp 4K video. The Formovie Theater 4K projector does just that, and man do we love it.

The Formovie Theater comes in a very nice package, with clean boxed-off edges and a relatively small footprint. Coming in an unassuming black and grey colorway, it does well to blend into the foreground while watching media. Some other projectors that have brighter colors find themselves the focal point during movies and shows, which isn’t something you’re looking for, as UST projectors are generally pretty large.The Theater comes with built-in speakers and plays into the Google ecosystem well, with built-in Android TV. As a wonderful little touch, Formovie incorporates a small strip of four LED dots that light up when you say, “Hey, Google,” or activate the Assistant. A physical mute slider lays on the right side, which is an even nicer touch.The bottom of the Theater holds several adjustable feet for really dialing in your picture. As for connectivity, we found that the Theater housed exactly what we needed with 3 HDMI ports – one of which is eARC compatible for various sound options. Besides HDMI, there are also two USB ports and a physical LAN connection for minimal latency.
