It can throw a ton of light, its color wheel produces accurate colors and has great detail. The contrast ratio isn't great, but it's pretty average among 4K resolution projectors in this price range. And that price really is the UHD35's biggest selling point. This 4K UHD projector offers great picture quality for only a few hundred dollars over the best p projectors. It doesn't offer lens shift or much in the way of a zoom, but if it fits in your room it's a great way to get a 4K projector on a budget..
Read our Optoma UHD35 review. It's smaller than a six-pack of Coke and equipped with Wi-Fi streaming, a surprisingly loud Bluetooth speaker and even a handle.
It offers auto vertical and manual horizontal keystone correction. This portable mini projector powerhouse also has one thing many compact projectors lack: a built-in battery. It's an all-in-one entertainment machine that's darn cute, too. The Epson Home Cinema modern projector is perhaps the most flexible home theater projector on this list, touting enhanced setup capabilities like a wider zoom and lens shift.
It's also brighter than any other projector here and offers built-in Android TV streaming.. Read our Epson Home Cinema review. This LG projector is one of the brightest projectors we've ever reviewed, producing 2, ANSI lumens, while at the same time offering some of the most impressively deep colors we've seen in a projector.
The contrast ratio is quite poor, unfortunately, but the overall image is still good. That it's relatively quiet and comes in a stylish case with ample lens shift is the icing on top.. The BenQ HTA above is a superior-all around performer, but if you're a gamer looking for a specialized tool for the job, the TH gaming projector is worth a look. If you don't mind sacrificing color accuracy, it can get a lot brighter than the HTA, the ideal ambient light of brighter rooms, and gaming input lag is comparable..
Read our BenQ TH review. The M2 is about the size of a cake, and like the Anker above, it includes onboard streaming and a less-powerful speaker. Unlike the Anker, you'll have to supply your own external battery, like a portable charger or power bank.
We didn't like its picture as much as the Anker's either, but it does have one advantage: p native resolution, which is important if you want a big image with no visible pixels on your projector screen.. Read our Viewsonic M2 review. It fits a slightly different niche, however. We have a whole separate guide to the best outdoor projectors , too.
Last but not least, if you're concerned about high prices, pay extra close attention to this page around Black Friday and Cyber Monday as we're sure to see some discounts around some of these exceptional beamers. Ready to start early? Check out this amazing Samsung The Premiere deal. After more than a decade since its last home cinema projector, Samsung has exploded back on the scene with The Premiere LSP9T projector. This ultra short-throw beamer makes use of 4K HDR laser projection, with a three-color laser removing the need for a color filter and therefore allowing The Premiere's 2, lumens brightness to really shine across a max inch image.
This projector also benefits from full implementation of Samsung's smart TV operating system, which — if a bit sluggish at times — is incredible to have on a projector over the basic and poorly-organized interfaces we're used to. For everyone else, there's plenty of other great models in the guide below. Read our full review: Samsung The Premiere projector. We gave this beamer five stars for its impressive color reproduction, HDR support, and 2, lumens brightness, making for bright and impactful images.
While this isn't a native 4K projector something you just don't get at this price , even upscaled images are detailed and come across well, with highly natural skin stones and an impressive amount of shadow detail. Blacks could be deeper, and motion could be smoother, but there's really little to complain about here. The EH-TW boasts advanced capability all around, from its 3D compatibility to motorized lens controls — the latter point allowing for real precision and an easy setup. There's even a lens cover to prevent dust from creeping in!
Just keep in mind that it doesn't come with built-in speakers, meaning you are reliant on connected audio equipment. The XGIMI Halo is a great shout for anyone after a portable projector that doesn't give up on quality pictures entirely. You're getting lumens max brightness while plugged in, though this does drop to lumens when running on battery — fine for dark, outdoor settings, though you'll undoubtedly fare better with the former setting. Regardless, the battery life is long enough to watch an average-length movie.
It's worth noting that theater enthusiasts may not be satisfied with the brightness and picture of the Halo, especially because of somewhat distracting video noise in dark scenes — but for anyone who needs flexibility and wants the best projector that can fit that need, the XGIMI Halo will prove a worthy choice.
This unit supports 4K at 60Hz with an unsurpassed 16ms response time at that resolution, which is as low as response times get in a native 4K projector. If you want up to inches of bright, crystal-clear game on your wall or screen, this sets a new benchmark. You can also push to Hz if you're happy settling for HD output. About the size and shape of a can of Coca Cola, the tiny projector looks more like a battery pack for a piece of AV equipment than an all-out projector, but those looks are deceiving.
Really need a projector that can sit right up to the wall? This ultra short-throw CineBeam projector from LG is able to project a massive display from only inches away.
The projector itself is also brilliantly sharp in its construction, with a sleek rectangular profile that can hub your living room carpet or coffee table without obstructing any of the image it's throwing up on the wall — and you can install it from the ceiling as well if preferred.
The sound quality maybe isn't as impressive as the projection, though, with a lack of detail in high frequencies, and not much power on the low end either. The Vava 4K projector is something of a marvel, with a sharp 4K picture and impactful HDR despite its 8-bit color limitations. The 2, lumens brightness is more than enough to make its images look vibrant, too — while a sleek design and soft fabric covering ensure the projector is aesthetically satisfying even when it's turned off.
The smart platform is somewhat secondary here, with an old iteration of Android TV and a couple of big-name apps Netflix, Hulu nowhere to be seen. Read more: Vava 4K projector review. The Anker Nebula Solar Portable is a compact and stylish mini-projector that delivers in almost every area. However, its USB-C power port means you should also be able to link up a portable power bank for multiple uses. While the picture quality is pretty adequate for the price and form factor, the projector is let down on the brightness front.
Read more: Anker Nebula Solar Portable review. Stylishly finished in matte white, with complementary grey fabric grille and peekaboo lens up top, it looks suitably trendy. It's built around a single chip DLP 4K device allied to a laser light engine, which translates to pin-sharp pictures no chance of any panel alignment issues here and excellent color vibrancy — though it is a bit less vibrant than its predecessor.

Home theater projectors generally start out at about lumens and range upwards to lumens and more. Your viewing environment is the deciding factor on how many lumens your projector needs.
Dedicated home theaters rooms with controlled lighting and no ambient light will not require as much brightness as a space with ambient light from windows or other household lighting. Check out the video below to see a , and lumen projector in a side-by-side comparison. Tip : In many cases, manufacturers rate projector lumen values based on data output, not video. Lumen output for video is typically not as high as data. For help determining which projector is right for your viewing environment, contact one of our Projector Experts.
They have personally seen most units perform in video mode. A lumen is equivalent to the amount of light a birthday cake candle puts out in a square foot-sized area. Now you know! The three most important factors affecting image quality are native resolution, your source material, and the projector's contrast ratio. More pixels mean a sharper looking image and better compatibility with high-definition sources. What you are watching will make a big difference in the quality of your image.
A low-quality signal fed to your projector will most likely look like a low-quality image when projected. This is even more noticeable on a larger screen. For best results, you should try to match the projector with the native resolution of your source material. Your Blu-ray player, PlayStation 3 and Xbox typically put out a p signal.
HDTV signals are still not totally standardized, although p and i seem to be the most common. So what does that mean for your projector purchase? HD x projectors are designed to deliver all the rich details carried in a p signal.
