Third-party reviews

What customers like about ULTIMEA Thor T60

  • Exceptional brightness of 4,000 ANSI lumens, making it viable for daytime viewing with some ambient light
  • Outstanding color gamut coverage of 120% BT.2020, delivering vibrant and saturated hues
  • True RGB triple laser light engine provides superior color purity compared to filtered systems
  • Low input lag for a projector (approx. 25ms), making it suitable for casual and semi-competitive gaming
  • Whisper-quiet operation with noise levels rated as low as 25dB
  • Built-in Certified Android TV 11 provides easy access to a wide range of streaming apps and Google Assistant
  • Impressive shadow detail and black levels for a UST projector, especially after calibration
  • Supports active 3D content with high depth and dimensionality

What customers don't like about ULTIMEA Thor T60

  • High premium price point compared to some established competitors
  • Limited connectivity with only two HDMI ports available
  • Out-of-the-box color accuracy issues, specifically a prominent red shift that requires manual calibration
  • Built-in 15W speakers lack significant bass, making them underwhelming for action-heavy content
  • Remote control feels cheap for a high-end product and lacks backlighting or a direct input switch
  • Occasional rainbow effect (RBE) and laser speckle may be visible during high-contrast transitions
  • Brand is relatively new, leading to concerns regarding long-term reliability and customer support
  • Chassis is large and bulky, which may be difficult to place in some setups

Verdict

The Ultimea Thor T60 is a premium 4K Ultra Short Throw (UST) projector featuring a triple RGB laser engine that delivers a massive 120% BT.2020 color gamut and a high 4000:1 contrast ratio. Its standout characteristic is an industry-leading brightness of 4,000 ANSI lumens, making it one of the few projectors truly suitable for daytime viewing in rooms with ambient light. Main pros include its support for Dolby Vision, HDR10, and 3D content, alongside a low 25ms input lag for gaming and a ultra-short throw ratio of 0.21:1 that can project up to a 150-inch image from just inches away. However, some users have noted cons such as visible laser speckle or rainbow effects, a lack of Netflix support on the native Android TV 11 system, and a remote control that feels less premium than the unit itself.
