Is there any ultra short throw projector that I could use for gaming?

I don't have a suggestion, but I do want to mention one thing about the input lag numbers: a lot of the reviews I have seen are reporting input lag numbers from 1080p sources, which can be much higher.

For example, I have an optoma UHL 55 4k, and the lag numbers reported are awful. In fact, I tried playing some games on my xbox360 and it is absolutely unplayable. Lag between 85 and 100 ms. However, with a 4k input from my xbox one, it is much better. Lag calibration on some of my music games is as low as 35 ms. So still not awesome, but definitely playable for most games.

It's a huge improvement over the 1080p numbers though.
