It continues to build on the components of the brand's past work whilst highlighting one component: making it affordable with the goal of [converting people from TVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epson-ef-21) to something that is more versatile and immersive. The Screeneo UL5 Smart measures 8 inches in length, 3.7 inches wide, and 3.4 inches tall. The Screeneo UL5 Smart is able to shine on a 100-inch screen but the most notable part is that it can do so while only being 20 inches away from the wall. The compact device also evokes a rich color palette with a 550 ANSI lumen brightness to support the visuals.
