We have already reported on the manufacturer AWOL several times, and not always positively. At CES, the company introduced new projectors that will be crowdfunded starting on February 10 on Kickstarter. AWOL is advertising particularly steep discounts during the first 24 hours, but exact pricing has not yet been announced. However, prospective backers can get a discount of up to $2,500 by contributing $50, which supposedly lowers the price of the 4K projector to $1,999. In any case, backers should pay close attention to the shipping terms and consider the financial risks of crowdfunding campaigns in general.

With that out of the way, the Kickstarter page already lists some of the most important technical specifications. The 4K laser projector is advertised to offer 3,300 ISO lumens. Furthermore, the product pictures show that this is a UST projector that can be placed very close to the projection surface. From a distance of about 19 inches, it can already produce a 100-inch picture. According to AWOL, the input lag is very low at just 1ms and VRR as well as ALLM are supported, all of which are important features for gamers. Additionally, the projector is equipped with an RGB laser setup and should produce vibrant colors. 3D playback is also in the works, but that will require 3D glasses.

I have been active as a journalist for over 10 years, most of it in the field of technology. I worked for Tom’s Hardware and ComputerBase, among others, and have been working for Notebookcheck since 2017. My current focus is particularly on mini PCs and single-board computers such as the Raspberry Pi – so in other words, compact systems with a lot of potential. In addition, I have a soft spot for all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My main profession is as a laboratory engineer, which is why neither scientific contexts nor the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.

My fascination for technology goes back a long way to the Pentium II era. Modding, overclocking and treasuring computer hardware has since become an integral part of my life. As a student, I further developed a keen interest in mobile technologies that can make the stressful college life so much easier. After I fell in love with the creation of digital content while working in a marketing position, I now scour the web to bring you the most exciting topics in the world of tech. Outside the office, I’m particularly passionate about motorsports and mountain biking.
