categories. As mentioned, ultra-short-throw models have rapidly established themselves in the market due to the extra performance and convenience, and all manufacturers sell at least a couple of models. Within the ultra-short-throw category, We’ll compare two price categories: under $7,000 and $3,500, with three projectors each. In the long-throw category, we’re again looking at projectors under $1,000, $2,000 and $6,000, with three products in each range. Finally, we’ll take a look at the best portable projectors.</p><div></div><h2 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=best-ust-projectors-under-7000>Best UST projectors under $7,000</h2><div

etailiffa-link">EpiqVision Ultra LS500</a> ($3,899) delivers. It’s rated at up to 4,000 lumens, making it one of the brightest ultra-short-throw projectors in any price range. It also supports HDR modes in HDR10 and HLG and is sold with both 100-inch and 120-inch ALR screens, making the price effectively lower. The main drawback is that it only offers double the pixels of 1080p, rather than four times like competing DLP tech. It also offers a relatively weak 10-watt built-in speaker system.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=hisense-l9g>HiSense L9G</h3><p>This is <a data-i13n="cpos:11;pos:1;elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsInN0b3JlSWQiOiI2NmVhNTY3YS1jOTg3LTRjMmUtYTJmZi0wMjkwNGVmZGU2ZWEiLCJsYW5kaW5nVXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9IaXNlbnNlLUw5LVRyaUNocm9tYS1MYXNlci0xMDBMOUctQ0lORTEwMC9kcC9CMDlHVjNGMlZHP3RhZz1nZGd0MGMtcC1vLTNqLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiIyYjY0MTMxOS00N2VjLTRkNmEtYjQzYy01NTg2MTVmMWNmZmUifQ&signature=AQAAAZzMMEgBOXEw_dzdqBYijX8oVzsZzOfO4kzt8XUM9_xf&gcReferrer=https://www.amazon.com/Hisense-L9-TriChroma-Laser-100L9G-CINE100/dp/B09GV3F2VG&refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2Fhome%2Fhome-theater%2Fbest-projectors-123004354.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:HiSense’s new $4,300 flagship UST;cpos:11;pos:1;elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link rapid-with-clickid etailiffa-link">HiSense’s new $4,300 flagship UST</a> that uses a tricolor laser to achieve high brightness (3,000 ANSI lumens) and an incredible 107 percent BT.2020 HDR coverage, topping even Samsung’s formidable LSP9T.

That bumps the brightness to 2,500 ANSI lumens, and the three 1080p LCDs use a pixel shifter to quadruple the resolution to something close to true 4K. It offers very accurate colors with HDR10 and HLG capability, but is also great for gaming thanks to the 120 Hz refresh rate, 20-millisecond input lag and HDMI 2.1 support. You also get a 3-way motorized lens, scene adaptive correction and more for $4,000.</p> </div><div class="flex flex-col rounded-lg bg-marshmallow p-5 @xl/p:flex-row dark:bg-batcave clear-right

It also comes with desirable features for a long-throw laser projector, like a 1.6x zoom and vertical lens shift.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=lg-cinebeam-hu810pw-4k><strong>LG CineBeam HU810PW 4K</strong></h3><p>Speaking of long-throw laser projectors, LG’s $3,000 <a data-i13n="cpos:13;pos:1;elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsInN0b3JlSWQiOiI2NmVhNTY3YS1jOTg3LTRjMmUtYTJmZi0wMjkwNGVmZGU2ZWEiLCJsYW5kaW5nVXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9MRy1IVTgxMFBXLUNpbmVCZWFtLVByb2plY3Rvci1EQ0ktUDMvZHAvQjA4VDRCVzJDQj90YWc9Z2RndDBjLXAtby0zai0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiMmI2NDEzMTktNDdlYy00ZDZhLWI0M2MtNTU4NjE1ZjFjZmZlIn0&signature=AQAAAaL--baVgPrUTgXybOieqOdRAkLDlSqzD0RAeO2cxtVh&gcReferrer=https://www.amazon.com/LG-HU810PW-CineBeam-Projector-DCI-P3/dp/B08T4BW2CB&refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2Fhome%2Fhome-theater%2Fbest-projectors-123004354.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:CineBeam HU810PW;cpos:13;pos:1;elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link rapid-with-clickid etailiffa-link">CineBeam HU810PW</a> is another excellent pick at a much lower price point. There are some compromises, as the laser light pushes out a lower 2,700 lumens (that’s still a lot), and it has a smaller 0.47-inch DLP chip that delivers slightly lower perceived resolution. However, it has dual blue and green lasers which help it deliver accurate HDR colors with an excellent 97 percent DCI-P3 coverage. It also offers a 1.6x zoom with lens shift and an HDMI 2.1 port that allows for 4K at 60p with up to 12-bit color depth. It comes with LG’s webOS, so it supports Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu and other streaming services without the need for a dongle.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=sony-vpl-vw295es><strong>Sony VPL-VW295ES</strong></h3><p>If you’re looking for a true, native 4K projector, Sony’s $4,500 <a data-i13n="cpos:14;pos:1;elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsInN0b3JlSWQiOiI2NmVhNTY3YS1jOTg3LTRjMmUtYTJmZi0wMjkwNGVmZGU2ZWEiLCJsYW5kaW5nVXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9Tb255LVRoZWF0ZXItVmlkZW8tUHJvamVjdG9yLVZQTFZXMjk1RVMvZHAvQjA3R00zQjg5Vz90YWc9Z2RndDBjLXAtby0zai0yMCIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiMmI2NDEzMTktNDdlYy00ZDZhLWI0M2MtNTU4NjE1ZjFjZmZlIn0&signature=AQAAAcuSQgP3QNP4EuJ1xxw2UuCvn6yhBd93G4XWBsoG2yes&gcReferrer=https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Theater-Video-Projector-VPLVW295ES/dp/B07GM3B89W&refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2Fhome%2Fhome-theater%2Fbest-projectors-123004354.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:VPL-VW295ES;cpos:14;pos:1;elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link rapid-with-clickid etailiffa-link">VPL-VW295ES</a> is the least costly option out there. It’s by far the sharpest 4K projector in this roundup, thanks to Sony’s proprietary 4K SXRD native DCI 4K (4,096 x 2,160) panels. It also delivers extremely accurate colors, with 100 percent DCI-P3 coverage and HDR10/HLG support. You also get niceties like a 2.06 zoom lens with powered zoom, lens shift and focus. The main drawback is a relatively dim 1,500 lumen brightness, but it’s a top pick if picture quality is paramount above all.</p><h2 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=best-ust-projectors-under-3500>Best

<p>LG’s nice-looking HU715Q is the new king of ultra-short-throw (UST) projectors due to the picture quality, tech on offer and reasonable $3,000 price. With a 20,000-30,000 hour laser light source, it delivers 2,500 ANSI lumens, along with accurate colors across 86 percent of the DCI-P3 gamut – enough for most HDR content. And speaking of that, it supports both HDR10 and HLG, along with frame-by-frame tone-mapping.</p> <p>Rival models offer similar specs, but the HU715Q trumps them in sound and technology. The 20-watt 2-way stereo speakers have a great sound quality on their own, but you can supplement them with Bluetooth speakers from LG and nearly any other brand to create surround sound. The standout feature, though, is LG’s webOS smart TV capabilities that give you Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+ and other apps, all with full 4K HDR support and surround sound, including eARC output for Dolby Atmos and lossless audio. It also supports HDMI 2.1 and better still, full 4K (4,096 x 2,160) rather than just UHD.</p> </div><div class="flex flex-col rounded-lg bg-marshmallow p-5 @xl/p:flex-row dark:bg-batcave clear-right mb-5"><div class="flex-1 border-solid border-dirty-seagull dark:border-charcoal border-b @xl/p:border-b-0 @xl/p:border-r-2 mb-6 mr-0 pb-6 pr-0 @xl/p:mb-0 @xl/p:mr-4 @xl/p:pb-0 @xl/p:pr-4"><span class="space-x-2 text-lg/6 font-bold uppercase"><svg class="fill-ninja-turtle dark:fill-mulah scale-[0.92] inline -translate-y-0.5" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M12 1c6.075 0 11 4.925 11 11s-4.925 11-11 11S1 18.075 1 12 5.925 1 12 1Zm4.201 7.305-6.186 6.172-2.223-2.216a1.047 1.047 0 0 0-1.481 0 1.042 1.042 0 0 0 0 1.477l2.963 2.956a1.05 1.05 0 0 0 1.482 0l6.926-6.911a1.044 1.044 0 0 0 0-1.478 1.049 1.049 0 0 0-1.481 0Z"></path></svg><span>Pros</span></span><ul class="mt-2 pl-6 leading-relaxed @xl/p:text-lg/[30px]"><li class="list-disc">Great picture quality</li><li class="list-disc">Great sound</li><li class="list-disc">LG webOS smart TV capabilities</li></ul></div><div class="flex-1"><span class="space-x-2 text-lg/6 font-bold uppercase"><svg class="fill-solo-cup dark:fill-watermelon scale-[0.92] inline -translate-y-0.5" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M12 1c6.075 0 11 4.925 11 11s-4.925 11-11 11S1 18.075 1 12 5.925 1 12 1ZM7.415 7.188l-.098.087a1.053 1.053 0 0 0 0 1.483l3.2 3.211-3.244 3.246a1.045 1.045 0 0 0 1.476 1.478l3.24-3.243 3.231 3.242a1.04 1.04 0 0 0 1.476 0 1.051 1.051 0 0 0 0-1.483l-3.228-3.24 3.184-3.187c.376-.377.405-.969.087-1.379l-.087-.098a1.043 1.043 0 0 0-1.476 0l-3.181 3.184-3.202-3.214a1.04 1.04 0 0 0-1.378-.087Z"></path></svg><span>Cons</span></span><ul class="mt-2 pl-6 leading-relaxed @xl/p:text-lg/[30px]"><li class="list-disc">Expensive</li></ul></div></div><a data-ylk="aid:amazon_B09S6S83MD;cpos:3;itmId:$2,497;ll3:product-available;ll4:productoffer-manual;pid:amazon_B09S6S83MD;pdid:LG CineBeam UHD 4K Projector;subsec:commlist;elmt:chooseForMe;itemcost:$2,497;sellerN:Amazon;pos:4;sec:large-product;elm:affiliate_link;itc:0;pkgt:horizontal-cta-1;slk:$2,497 at Amazon;" class="rapid-with-clickid peer clear-right box-border block w-full min-w-60 rounded-[40px] px-7 text-center hover:no-underline hover:opacity-100 active:opacity-60 @xl/p:w-9/12 commerce-cta-btn-primary bg-inkwell py-3 font-semibold leading-5 text-white hover:bg-charcoal hover:text-grey-hair active:bg-charcoal active:text-grey-hair peer-[&]:mt-3 dark:bg-white dark:text-batcave dark:hover:bg-bob dark:focus:bg-bob dark:active:bg-bob" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&itemId=amazon_B09S6S83MD&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=pnr-product-module&featureId=product-url&itemName=LG+CineBeam+UHD+4K+Projector&merchantName=Amazon&itemSourceId=B09S6S83MD&brand=LG&price=2496.99&salePrice=2496.99&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL0xHLUVsZWN0cm9uaWNzLUhVNzE1UVctQ2luZUJlYW0tUHJvamVjdG9yL2RwL0IwOVM2UzgzTUQ_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLW8tZm0tMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjJiNjQxMzE5LTQ3ZWMtNGQ2YS1iNDNjLTU1ODYxNWYxY2ZmZSJ9&signature=AQAAAbYpiYIpyCu3e1ZXzRZMF5dkKFRzWrkA0SqIXjCiqOV5&contentUuid=2b641319-47ec-4d6a-b43c-558615f1cffe&refurl=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.engadget.com%252Fhome%252Fhome-theater%252Fbest-projectors-123004354.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">$2,497 at Amazon</a></div></div></div></div></div><h2 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=more-ultra-short-throw-projectors-under-3500>More ultra-short-throw projectors under $3,500</h2><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=optoma-cinemax-p2>Optoma CinemaX P2</h3><p><a data-i13n="cpos:15;pos:1;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsInN0b3JlSWQiOiI2NmVhNTY3YS1jOTg3LTRjMmUtYTJmZi0wMjkwNGVmZGU2ZWEiLCJsYW5kaW5nVXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9PcHRvbWEtQ2luZW1hWC1Qcm9qZWN0b3ItU3VwZXJpb3ItNi1TZWdtZW50L2RwL0IwOEZCTkRHQks_dGFnPWdkZ3QwYy1wLW8tM2otMjAiLCJjb250ZW50VXVpZCI6IjJiNjQxMzE5LTQ3ZWMtNGQ2YS1iNDNjLTU1ODYxNWYxY2ZmZSJ9&signature=AQAAAc-UvYTp0bcvQOkcrUXirwSnS8YN4PmO55tL1H2QrO8A&gcReferrer=https://www.amazon.com/Optoma-CinemaX-Projector-Superior-6-Segment/dp/B08FBNDGBK&refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2Fhome%2Fhome-theater%2Fbest-projectors-123004354.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Optoma’s CinemaX P2;cpos:15;pos:1;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link rapid-with-clickid etailiffa-link">Optoma’s CinemaX P2</a> made our list last year, but it’s one of the best projectors now because the price has dropped considerably.

The downside is the lack of decent speakers, as it only offers dual 5-watt speakers with clear sound but limited bass.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=epson-epiqvision-ultra-ls300w>Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS300W</h3><p>If you’re okay with 1080p projection, <a data-i13n="cpos:17;pos:1;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsInN0b3JlSWQiOiI2NmVhNTY3YS1jOTg3LTRjMmUtYTJmZi0wMjkwNGVmZGU2ZWEiLCJsYW5kaW5nVXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9FcHNvbi1FcGlxVmlzaW9uLVN0cmVhbWluZy1Qcm9qZWN0b3ItQW5kcm9pZC9kcC9CMDhHTDQ2RlNUP3RhZz1nZGd0MGMtcC1vLTNqLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiIyYjY0MTMxOS00N2VjLTRkNmEtYjQzYy01NTg2MTVmMWNmZmUifQ&signature=AQAAAd6QTWjOYcKhGIbc8m4pJPnam6YlLPl4WnJh6vhf5GQK&gcReferrer=https://www.amazon.com/Epson-EpiqVision-Streaming-Projector-Android/dp/B08GL46FST&refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2Fhome%2Fhome-theater%2Fbest-projectors-123004354.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Epson’s EpiqVision Ultra LS300W;cpos:17;pos:1;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link rapid-with-clickid etailiffa-link">Epson’s EpiqVision Ultra LS300W</a> is a very interesting option because of the design, excellent sound, built-in Android TV and extreme 3,600 ANSI lumen brightness. That allows for a wide color gamut with no rainbow effect, excellent connectivity and very good sound without the need to buy a soundbar or surround sound system. Best of all, it’s priced at just $2,000, making it one of the cheaper short-throw projectors out there.</p><h2 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=best-projectors-under-2000>Best projectors under

type:</strong> DLP</p> <p>BenQ’s 4K HT3550i is an update to last year’s HT3550, but with a huge addition: Android TV. With that, this smart projector offers multi-platform wireless projection from Android and iOS devices via Chromecast or Airplay, and streaming apps like Prime Video, Hulu, and YouTube — a huge plus compared to rival projectors. As before, it offers reference-quality 4K color reproduction in both HDR and SDR that's a match for projectors costing triple the price. Contrast is excellent thanks to the dynamic iris, though brightness is limited to 2,000 lumens. It has a 1.3x zoom and vertical lens shift option, plus a surprisingly good built-in speaker. The fan noise is still present, but less than before.</p> </div><div class="flex flex-col rounded-lg bg-marshmallow p-5 @xl/p:flex-row dark:bg-batcave clear-right mb-5"><div class="flex-1 border-solid

It cranks the lumens up to 4,000 and like the Viewsonic PX701-4K, offers 240Hz gaming at 1080p with one of the lowest latency figures we’ve seen yet in a projector at 4.2 milliseconds. Otherwise, you can do 4K 60 Hz gaming with 16.7 milliseconds of lag, which is very quick for 4K. It’s optimized more for gaming than entertainment unlike BenQ’s HT3550i, but it can still handle HDR10 and HLG. It supports both zoom (albeit just 1.1x), but also vertical and horizontal lens shift.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=epson-home-cinema-4010-4k-pro><strong>Epson Home Cinema 4010 4K Pro</strong></h3><p>Epson’s $2,000 <a data-i13n="cpos:19;pos:1;elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsInN0b3JlSWQiOiI2NmVhNTY3YS1jOTg3LTRjMmUtYTJmZi0wMjkwNGVmZGU2ZWEiLCJsYW5kaW5nVXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9FcHNvbi1Ib21lLUNpbmVtYS00MDEwLVByb2plY3Rvci9kcC9CMDdHWVA2OEhXP3RhZz1nZGd0MGMtcC1vLTNqLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiIyYjY0MTMxOS00N2VjLTRkNmEtYjQzYy01NTg2MTVmMWNmZmUifQ&signature=AQAAAWeJ1FRoV4ZZkN38Gk8dg167YEP1uhh7uQL9RKrQpDUa&gcReferrer=https://www.amazon.com/Epson-Home-Cinema-4010-Projector/dp/B07GYP68HW&refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2Fhome%2Fhome-theater%2Fbest-projectors-123004354.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Home Cinema 4010 4K Pro;cpos:19;pos:1;elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link rapid-with-clickid etailiffa-link">Home Cinema 4010 4K Pro</a> is the Cadillac of under-$2K home projectors thanks to features like 2,400 lumen brightness, dynamic iris, and motorized zoom (2.1x), focus and lens shift.

The drawbacks include slightly excessive fan noise, rainbow effect and red-tinted 3D.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=optoma-hd146x><strong>Optoma HD146X</strong></h3><p>If you’re looking to spend a little less on a budget projector, the <a data-i13n="cpos:22;pos:1;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&merchantName=Amazon&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsInN0b3JlSWQiOiI2NmVhNTY3YS1jOTg3LTRjMmUtYTJmZi0wMjkwNGVmZGU2ZWEiLCJsYW5kaW5nVXJsIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9PcHRvbWEtSEQxNDZYLVBlcmZvcm1hbmNlLVByb2plY3Rvci1FbmhhbmNlZC9kcC9CMDg0MlFQUjFaP3RhZz1nZGd0MGMtcC1vLTNqLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiIyYjY0MTMxOS00N2VjLTRkNmEtYjQzYy01NTg2MTVmMWNmZmUifQ&signature=AQAAAUe_migAb_J32RJ1Dp8tgxwQIRFP8JU8qX31RfSn4vKr&gcReferrer=https://www.amazon.com/Optoma-HD146X-Performance-Projector-Enhanced/dp/B0842QPR1Z&refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2Fhome%2Fhome-theater%2Fbest-projectors-123004354.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:Optoma HD146X;cpos:22;pos:1;elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link rapid-with-clickid etailiffa-link">Optoma HD146X</a> is your best option. Using DLP tech, it delivers 1080p at up to 3,600 lumens with excellent brightness, color accuracy, contrast and black levels. You also get decent (16.4-millisecond) input lag for gaming.

You can mount them close to the wall like a TV, with no need to run wires through the walls and ceiling, but still get an immersive image as large as 120 inches — something that’s impossible with a TV unless you’re <a data-i13n="cpos:25;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/2019-04-22-sony-2019-tv-pricing.html" data-ylk="slk:very rich;cpos:25;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">very rich</a>. They use brighter lasers that never need to be replaced — and because laser light is collimated, focusing is eliminated.</p><p>They’re also physically less awkward to install than a ceiling-mounted projector, though that doesn’t mean installation is super easy. To get the perfect screen fit and alignment, you must place them an exact height and distance from your wall or screen. This can be quite a pain, as I’ve <a data-i13n="cpos:26;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/2020-02-26-optoma-cinemax-p1-review.html" data-ylk="slk:discovered;cpos:26;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">discovered</a>.</p><p>You also need a perfectly flat wall or projector screen, because ultra-short-throw projectors beam up at an acute angle, so any imperfections will show as shadows. For that reason, you can’t use a roll-down screen because they have slight ripples.</p><p>For the best results, particularly with a lot of ambient light, you should use an ambient light-rejecting (ALR) screen. Those have small ridges that reflect light from below back to your eyes, but absorb any light (ie ambient light) that comes from above. For one of those, you’ll need to budget at least <a data-i13n="cpos:27;pos:1;elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?siteId=us-engadget&pageId=1p-autolink&featureId=text-link&custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL2Ftem4udG8vM3lmT1BkUSIsImNvbnRlbnRVdWlkIjoiMmI2NDEzMTktNDdlYy00ZDZhLWI0M2MtNTU4NjE1ZjFjZmZlIn0&signature=AQAAAQjM5n0b_9w7YW_nnqy0aisWfnWD28siylZdGcjXViSj&gcReferrer=https://amzn.to/3yfOPdQ&refurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2Fhome%2Fhome-theater%2Fbest-projectors-123004354.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:$450;cpos:27;pos:1;elm:affiliate_link;elmt:premonetized;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link rapid-with-clickid etailiffa-link">$450</a> and <a data-i13n="cpos:28;pos:1" href="https://www.projectorscreen.com/elite-se122h-ds-dark-star-se-122-diag-59-8x106-4-hdtv-16-9-darkstar-0-9-gain.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:way up;cpos:28;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">way up</a>. Some projectors, including models from Epson and HiSense, come with ALR screens.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=brightness-and-contrast><strong>Brightness and contrast</strong></h3><p>Home theater projectors generally range in brightness between 2,000 to 4,000 lumens, but you'll need to take those figures with a grain of salt. Some models might actually hit 3,000 lumens or more, but cranking the lamp to that level will hurt the image quality and lifespan of your bulb. Also, some manufacturers tend to exaggerate maximum brightness.</p><p>As a point of reference, many 4K flat panel TVs nowadays can hit 1,000 nits of brightness, but the brightest consumer projectors only display between 100 and 150 nits from the screen. That’s not as big a deal as it might seem, because projector images are much larger and meant to be used in dark rooms, where your eyes will automatically adjust to the light and “<a data-i13n="cpos:29;pos:1" href="https://www.projectorcentral.com/the-projectionist.cfm?2019-05-18-So-You-Think-Youre-So-Bright&entry_id=779" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:brighten;cpos:29;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">brighten</a>” the image.</p><p>Contrast is also substantially different on home theater projectors. Unlike OLED TVs, projectors don’t allow for zero black levels because of ambient light, reflections and other reasons. You also can’t have local dimming zones found on LED TVs for true blacks. Some projectors do have a dynamic iris to improve the contrast scene-by-scene, but those can often produce a “pumping” effect, with the image dimming or brightening in mid-scene.</p><figure class=caas-figure><div><div><div class="caas-img-container caas-img-loader noheight"><img class="caas-img caas-lazy has-preview" alt="Elite Starling motorized screen" data-src=https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/1p.cqu1ewWVPtzTk1c7KGw--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MA--/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2021-04/34181c50-92ea-11eb-99db-e05de4751f8f><noscript><img alt="Elite Starling motorized screen" src=https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/1p.cqu1ewWVPtzTk1c7KGw--/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MA--/https://s.yimg.com/os/creatr-uploaded-images/2021-04/34181c50-92ea-11eb-99db-e05de4751f8f class=caas-img></noscript></div></div></div><div class="caption-wrapper caption-aligned-with-image"><figcaption class=caption-collapse><span class=caption-credit> Elite Starling</span></figcaption></div></figure><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=mounting-and-fan-noise><strong>Mounting and fan noise</strong></h3><p>A big advantage of regular long throw projectors is that you can mount the projector and screen on the ceiling, using zero space in your room. If you plan to do that, don’t forget to budget for a mounting bracket and any necessary long cables, including extra power for Google's finicky Chromecast (though you could opt for a smart projector with built-in streaming apps instead). Also, keep in mind that it's easier to mount a lightweight home theater projector, and DLP models are usually lighter than those with LCD tech.</p><p>Some projectors are noisier than others, and usually the more you spend, the less noise you get. Many of the new 4K DLP projectors, when operating in 4K mode, are particularly noisy. There's one other (cool) thing: if you have a portable projector or even one that is relatively easy to take down and put up, you can take it outside for magical night screenings under the stars.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=hdr-and-resolution><strong>HDR and resolution</strong></h3><p>As related to projectors, these things could each take up an entire article. In fact, they have — for a deeper dive, take a look at <em>Projector Central</em>’s excellent takes on <a data-i13n="cpos:30;pos:1" href="https://www.projectorcentral.com/HDR-From-A-to-Z.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:HDR;cpos:30;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">HDR</a> and <a data-i13n="cpos:31;pos:1" href="https://www.projectorcentral.com/Projector-Resolution-Shootout-Part-1.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:resolution;cpos:31;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">resolution</a>.</p><p>On the resolution front, only expensive projectors have native 4K resolution; indeed, most movie theaters still use <a data-i13n="cpos:32;pos:1" href="https://www.screendaily.com/features/the-resolution-war-is-cinema-falling-behind-home-entertainment-on-innovation/5124023.article" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:2K projectors;cpos:32;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">2K projectors</a> for <a data-i13n="cpos:33;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/2019-06-19-upscaled-uhd-4k-digital-intermediate-explainer.html" data-ylk="slk:various reasons;cpos:33;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">various reasons</a>. However, there are many relatively inexpensive DLP projectors that use pixel-shifting to attain 4K resolution. That system emits each pixel four times while moving it to the correct position for a 4K image, all in less than 1/60th of a second. As such, it puts as many pixels on the screen in the same amount of time as a 4K native projector — and visually, it performs nearly as well.</p><p>On the other hand, Epson's LCD “4K enhanced” projectors also have 1080p resolution, but the image is just shifted twice, not four times. So, those projectors are not 4K natively or otherwise, but do produce double the pixel count of a 1080p projector. If you really want a 4K native projector, you’ll have to pay: two of the cheapest ones are Sony's VPL-VW295ES ($5,000) and JVC's DLA-NX5 ($5,000).</p><p>HDR is a very different animal on projectors compared to TVs. As mentioned, projectors can’t produce anywhere close to the amount of light required (1,000 nits) to qualify as true HDR. Rather, they use a technique called tone-mapping to fit the entire HDR gamut into a lower brightness range.</p><p>For that reason, among others, almost all projectors only support HDR10.

However, most support a wider 10-bit color gamut that allows for superior color reproduction.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=optics><strong>Optics</strong></h3><p>If you're mounting a short- or long-throw projector between five and 25 feet, you might need to consider the zoom range and whether the projector has a lens shift option. A decent zoom range will make it easier to mount the projector where you want with the screen size that you want. If the projector has an auto focus feature, it will adjust the lens to create a sharper image by calculating the distance between your projector and the wall or screen.</p><p>Lens shift, meanwhile, is used if the projector is mounted higher or lower relative to the screen than recommended by the manufacturer (or any horizontal distance off center). That creates a trapezoidal shaped image, but by dialing in some lens shift, you can optically square it up. Otherwise, you might have to use a "keystone correction," which digitally stretches or shrinks part of the image, resulting in noticeable distortion or pixel artifacts. Digital correction might not work in gaming modes either, for some projector models.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=gaming><strong>Gaming</strong></h3><p>If you’re interested in a gaming projector, you’ll want to look up the refresh rate and input lag figures. Some new projectors from Viewsonic, Optoma and others offer up to 240 Hz 1080p refresh rates and input lag settings down to 4 or 5 milliseconds. When paired with a compatible projection screen, you can expect an immersive experience from your game console on the big screen. However, some projectors designed more for home entertainment have very poor input lag and refresh rates at just 60 Hz.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=portable-projectors>Portable projectors</h3><p>Finally, portable projectors have become popular enough to merit discussion this year. They’re relatively cheap, compact and portable and can run on batteries – making them ideal for entertainment outside or while camping. These outdoor projectors are not nearly as bright as others, of course, but are more designed for a fun night of entertainment under the stars.</p><h2 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=the-technology-lcd-and-dlp-projectors><strong>The </strong>t<strong>echnology: </strong>LCD and DLP projectors</h2><p>Here are the basics: Traditional projectors generally use two types of technology, LCD and DLP. They’re fundamentally different systems, with their own advantages and drawbacks.</p><p>The rise of ultra-short-throw projectors and brighter long-throw models, meanwhile, has been powered by falling prices in laser illumination technology. Lasers are a far better solution than lamps, because they’re brighter and last far longer — up to 30,000 hours instead of 6,000. That’s essentially a lifetime of use (about 10 years).</p><div class=caas-iframe-wrapper data-embed-anchor=2dda2a50-900a-56a0-b2fc-4184bed332fe><div class="caas-iframe youtube" style=padding-bottom:56% data-type=youtube><blockquote data-src=https://www.youtube.com/embed/lK-4DVQUCTw?rel=0 allowfullscreen scrolling=no><div class=caas-card-loader></div><noscript><iframe src=https://www.youtube.com/embed/lK-4DVQUCTw?rel=0 allowfullscreen></iframe></noscript></blockquote></div></div><p>Most projector manufacturers now use DLPs, or digital light processing units, manufactured nearly exclusively by Texas Instruments (TI). The heart of the tech is an optical semiconductor called a digital micromirror device (DMD) that contains millions of aluminum mirrors. Those tilt either toward the light source (on) or away from it (off) at up to 5,000 times per second.</p><p>Budget projectors like BenQ’s HT3550i use TI’s 0.47-inch DMD, while higher end models, like the Samsung Premium LSP9T use the 0.66-inch chip. Both use mirrors that tilt by +12 and -12 degrees for white and black, but TI recently unveiled a new <a data-i13n="cpos:36;pos:1" href="https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/dlp471te.pdf?ts=1616342160230&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" data-ylk="slk:0.47-inch 4K-capable DMD;cpos:36;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas" class="link ">0.47-inch 4K-capable DMD</a> with +/-17 degrees of tilt, which should enhance both brightness and contrast.</p><p>DLP projector makers include LG, Optoma, LG, BenQ and Panasonic. The benefits of the tech are portability (like Samsung’s The Freestyle 180-degree projector), high contrast, less fringing and cheaper projectors, especially 4K and ultra-short-throw models. The biggest drawback is the rainbow effect, or bright red/blue/green artifacts that affect some viewers more than others.</p><div class=caas-iframe-wrapper data-embed-anchor=9da1699f-991e-51dd-86c4-f3dbf110906f><div class="caas-iframe youtube" style=padding-bottom:56% data-type=youtube><blockquote data-src=https://www.youtube.com/embed/-Gbh72ZLW4E?rel=0 allowfullscreen scrolling=no><div class=caas-card-loader></div><noscript><iframe src=https://www.youtube.com/embed/-Gbh72ZLW4E?rel=0 allowfullscreen></iframe></noscript></blockquote></div></div><p>LCD tech, meanwhile, uses a prism to split a light source into red, green and blue beams. Those then pass through LCD displays containing the image and converge via another prism before passing through the projector’s lens.</p><p>Epson is the primary user of LCD tech, along with Sony, Sanyo and others. LCD projectors tend to be sharper, more efficient and more color accurate, but have lower contrast ratios and can experience image degradation over time. In general, they’re also more expensive.</p><h2 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=projector-faqs>Projector FAQs</h2><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=are-4k-projectors-better>Are 4K projectors better?</h3><p>Yes, because higher resolution is more noticeable on larger screens, so 4K is particularly useful with projectors since they beam images up to 200 inches in size. That being said, brightness and contrast are more important.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=is-a-projector-better-than-a-tv>Is a projector better than a TV?</h3><p>Projectors can provide a more immersive experience thanks to the large screen, but they’re not necessarily “better.” Since you usually have to dim the lights with a projector, TVs are superior for everyday use.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=is-2000-lumens-bright-enough-for-a-projector>Is 2000 lumens bright enough for a projector?</h3><p>Yes, 2000 lumens is easily bright enough, even with some ambient light in the room. However, the image will still be hard to see with the windows open on a bright day.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=should-i-get-a-4k-or-1080p-projector>Should I get a 4K or 1080p projector?</h3><p>That depends on your budget and needs. If your budget is below $1,000, look for a 1080p projector with the best brightness and contrast. Between $1,000-$2,000, you’ll need to weigh whether brightness or 4K resolution is most important. Above that, choose the brightest 4K projector you can afford.</p><h3 class=caas-jump-link-heading id=what-are-the-best-projectors-in-daylight>What are the best projectors in daylight?</h3><p>The best projectors in daylight are ultra short throw (UST) models, as they have the brightest and sharpest image.
