WEMAX Nova Pro
A mid-priced laser UST for watching movies and TV in a living room. Gamers should look elsewhere, since testing found it laggy.

Pros
- Small enough to sit on a shelf or bench and still throw a 100 inch picture from about 15 inches
- Sets its own focus and keystone, so it is quick to set up anywhere
- webOS with Netflix built in, plus AirPlay casting from Apple devices
Cons
- Too dim for a lit room or a picture much past 80 inches
- One HDMI port, so a second source needs a switch or a soundbar’s input
- High published input lag for gaming
