With CES 2023 done and dusted, weโre starting to see new ways in which you can take your home cinema to the next level. LG swiftly stole the show early on with the reveal of their monstrous and โcompletely wirelessโ 97-inch M3 OLED. But a brand you may have never heard of, AWOL Vision, came up with an equally attention-grabbing new product called the Vanish โ a 4K ultra-short-throw laser projector with a disappearing screen.
That is, the Laser TV brand has come up with a retractable panel packaged with the LTV-3500 ultra-short-throw laser projector. Youโve simply got the choice between either a 100-inch or 120-inch roll-up ambient light rejecting (ALR) screen, which comes with a smart cabinet and built-in 36-watt speakers.
Itโs rather straightforward from there. When youโre ready to watch something, you turn on the projector and the screen zips out of the cabinet within seconds. Conversely, it โvanishesโ just as fast when youโre done streaming content.

The AWOL Vision Vanish is quite similar to the โrollableโ $87,000 LG RX, which was showcased a few years ago at CES 2020. Except this is considerably cheaper, given you are mostly investing in the triple-laster projector.
Granted, you donโt necessarily need a screen if youโve already got a projector and enough (clean) wall space for the display. Yet, to get the most out of a device like this youโd typically need an ALR screen thatโs been specially designed to maximise the display and give you crystal-clear 4K vision.
As such, the AWOL Vision Vanish is three separate parts โ the LTV-3500 ultra-short-throw laser projector; the roll-up screen; and the smart cabinet.
The projector itself is about as high-end as you can get right now. Itโs got 3,5000 NASI lumens and a spectrum of over 1 billion colours with wide compatibility spanning 4K video, HDR 10+ and active 3D.
The AWOL Vision Vanish is available for US$14,999 (~AU$21,693) with a 100-inch screen or US$15,999 (~AU$23,140) with a 120-inch screen.
