Philips Screeneo U5 4K Projector Launched on Indiegogo

Philips has launched the Screeneo U5 4K projector with an image of up to 150 inches under crowdfunding. The impressive projector was unveiled via Indiegogo and took a remarkable 5-minute run to reach its goal. The Screeneo U5 is the successor to the U4 and uses a 4K UHD resolution and a high maximum brightness rating.

The U5 is based on Android 11 UI and is an ultra-short-throw projector that can deliver a home theater cinema experience without the need of having a giant screen in the room. The maximum screen size of 150 inches is achieved with a distance of just 16.5 inches away from the wall. The Screeneo U5 can also throw a 120-inch display from 11 inches and it has up to 2,200 ANSI lumens of brightness. The U5 also adheres to the Rec.709 color space and supports Dolby Vision, FlowMotion 4 MEMC+ technology, and HDR10.

The U5 Indiegogo campaign is still ongoing, with up to $570,000 attracted from its backers. The price of the Philips Screeneo U5 is €3,299 (~$3,314) but there are still a few units available via Indiegogo with a 48% discount. The speed with which the Indiegogo campaign for the Philips Screeneo U5 achieves its goal is quite impressive. Its success seems to have eclipsed that of the U$ which was also previously launched on Indiegogo. It is unclear what is expected lifetime of the projector is based on its light source.
