AWOL Vision announced its highly anticipated Aetherion projector series today, which was first unveiled at CES 2026. It is now open for orders via Kickstarter, giving early backers the chance to save up to $2,300 off retail pricing while upgrading to what is widely regarded as the world’s sharpest 4K triple laser ultra short throw (UST) projector. Substantial savings extend to exclusive Kickstarter bundles, with savings up to $5,497 on the package.
Available from February 10, early bird backers can secure the Aetherion Pro for $1,999 (MSRP $3,499) and the flagship Aetherion Max for $2,199 (MSRP $4,499), making a true, wall-filling home cinema setup more affordable than ever. In other words, a 200-inch Dolby Vision, triple-laser cinema for less than the cost of a premium TV. The Kickstarter campaign will run until April 1, 2026, with shipments scheduled to begin for early backers in April 2026. Early bird pricing will be available for a limited time.
Building on the demonstrated success of its sub-premium brand Valerion, which raised more than $10 million on Kickstarter and earned broad recognition from international media, influencers, and, most importantly, its backers, AWOL Vision now applies the same standards of reliability and innovation to the Aetherion series.
Big-screen 4K at a fraction of a TV price
Designed for immersive living rooms, backyard movie nights, and dedicated home theaters, the Aetherion series delivers true 4K projection at screen sizes up to 200 inches. It’s powered by AWOL Vision’s proprietary PixelLock™ technology, a next-generation optical system that preserves pixel-level sharpness even at extreme scale.
At its core, Aetherion is engineered around three pillars: speed, scale, and sharpness. Key performance highlights include:
- 4K projection up to 200 inches
- PixelLock™ optical alignment system for edge-to-edge sharpness
- 3,300 ISO lumens (Max) / 2,600 ISO lumens (Pro)
- 6,000:1 native contrast / 60,000:1 EBL (enhanced black level) contrast
- Anti-RBE technology (99.99% rainbow reduction for 2D and 3D viewing)
- 1ms-class input latency
- Variable Refresh Rate + Auto Low Latency Mode
- Dolby Vision Gaming (industry first for projectors)
- MT9655 flagship chipset with 8GB RAM / 128GB storage
- Wi-Fi 7 + Gigabit Ethernet
With shipments starting in April, early backers will be ready to enjoy the peak entertainment season and major summer sports, from the FIFA World Cup to the tennis Grand Slams and the golf Masters.
