These are exciting times in the projector market as more and more people come to appreciate what projectors can offer for both business and home entertainment settings. Technological improvements are also ensuring that what they can offer is improving almost on a monthly basis, meaning that projectors today are a long ways away from what you might remember just a few years ago.
This rapid pace of change and the diversity of options out there do mean that it can be a daunting task trying to find the right model to meet your needs, especially as they’re all set up to perform at their best with certain functions. You need to know exactly what you want to do with your projector and what to expect from it before you can know which one is best suited for you.
Once you have a good idea of this information, be sure to have a look below at the top projectors on the market from the summer of 2017:
Optoma ZU850
This model was launched in late spring and has many dramatic improvements on its predecessors and competition, including what Optoma have called MultiColor Laser technology, which means it has an extra red laser that improves performance and color. It’s also got over 100 settings to help you get the exact picture you require, and offers 20,000 hours of light, even on the brightest setting.
Sony VPL-VZ1000ES
This 4K model from Sony delivers 2500 lumens and 60 frames a second of video performance, making it one of the best for home cinema when you take into account it’s high resolution. There’s lots of 4K projectors out there, but Sony is a brand you can trust and this model is arguably their best value for the price and anyone looking for that cinema experience in their living room.
BenQ X12000
However, there’s also this impressive BenQ projector, which also offers the full 4K picture quality but also has an incredible 8.3 million distinct color pixels (try counting them), which puts it right up there along with some of the best actual cinema technology out there. It’s not cheap of course, but if you’re a real film buff who wants to see films exactly as they’re meant to be seen, this might be the one for you.
ViewSonic PJD7720HD
You don’t need to spend a lot to get great picture quality, and while this ViewSonic model certainly won’t deliver the same quality as the two mentioned above, it will still give you full HD resolution. It also has 3200 lumens which will be bright enough for most rooms and while the relatively low price tag does mean that you’re compensating in some areas, it’s still an excellent way to dip your toes into the projector market.
