How much distance do you need?
Use the AC311’s 1.1:1 throw ratio to estimate lens-to-screen distance for a 16:9 picture. This is a planning estimate before digital zoom or keystone correction.
Leave additional clearance for the body, cables and ventilation. Confirm the picture in your room before fixing a mount.
The right detail matters.
Are these native 4K projectors?
The models shown here have a native resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. They can accept or decode supported 4K content, which is displayed at the projector’s native resolution.
Can I watch outside?
Plan for a dry evening after sunset, a stable surface, a suitable screen and access to power. Outdoor viewing does not mean the projector is waterproof or battery powered.
Are streaming subscriptions included?
No. Supported apps may require your own account and a paid subscription. App availability and features can vary by software version and region.
Which YG381 is right for me?
The YG381 360° has a rotating stand and 20W Dolby Audio. The YG381 180° uses a fold-flat gimbal and adds Voice Boost and MEMC. Compare the exact variant and photos before ordering.
