Podcast: 2025 UST Projector Showdown Results Analyzed

Find out who won and what happened at the 2025 UST Projector Showdown where 8 projectors were compared side-by-side.

This episode breaks down the full results of the 2025 Ultra-Short Throw (UST) Projector Showdown, featuring event host Brian Gluck of ProjectorScreen.com and event emcee and administrator Phil Jones of ProjectorReviews.com as well as our own Editor at Large, Chris Boylan, who was one of the judges. Eight UST projectors went head-to-head on identical 100-inch screens, judged across 15 performance categories by a panel of six experts.

Held at ProjectorScreen.com’s New Jersey headquarters on November 8, 2025, the Showdown crowned winners in four key categories: 

  • Best Mixed-Use
  • Best Home Theater
  • Best Value
  • Best Overall Picture Performance

If you’ve been wondering which UST projector actually delivers the goods or you’re not quite ready to shell out mega bucks for a 115-inch TV, this episode cuts through the marketing gloss and gets to the real results. Find out who won, why they won, and what it means for your next big-screen upgrade.

Thank you to SVS for sponsoring this episode.
