DO DOLBY VISION Dolby Vision and HDR10+
Founded in 2020 by a group of TV enthusiasts and headquartered in Delray Beach, USA, AWOL Vision has already earned a reputation across the pond for its 4K laser projector and screen solutions. Its ambitious new flagship ultra short throw model deserves to see AWOL Vision become a household name everywhere.
At ₹4.17L, it’s not the most expensive UST projector to come our way recently (that honour belongs to the Leica Cine 1), but it is nearly four times as expensive as Hisense’s Award-winning PL1. The tri-laser LTV-3500 Pro tries hard to justify its cost, though, from its design through to its specification, which includes a triple laser lighting system, some of the highest brightness and widest colour claims the projection world has seen.
The LTV-3500 Pro is one of the most stylish projectors around. Combining sharp angles, curves, gleaming silver trim highlights and polished grey finish, it is a really attractive addition to your living room. The main lens output is tucked in a deep pyramid-like hole in the projector’s top, with the edges of the hole sporting a corrugated finish that contrasts beautifully with the polished effect elsewhere.
The rear panel plays host to a pretty expansive set of connections by projector standards: three HDMIs, two USBs, a LAN port, a 3.5mm phono audio input and an optical digital audio input. One of those HDMIs, into which is tucked a free Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K, is hidden behind a panel.
Remarkable colour coverage

YG Acoustics Carmel 3
On paper, the Carmel 3 from Colorado-based speaker specialist YG Acoustics has a credibility problem. They cost a huge amount of money but are small, rather plain-looking two-way floorstanders.
