If you have decided that 2017 is the year you finally treat yourself to a projector or if you’re looking to upgrade to a newer model and need to know what the best options are, we’re here to help you! We know the things that make for great all-round projectors and there’s plenty of new contenders out there in the market that you need to consider.
 
Here are the top new projector models for 2017:
 

Sony VPL-VZ1000ES

 
Ok, this one is only for the mega-rich (it costs $25k!) but the rest of us can look on and dream. Sony’s new short throw projector comes with an elite price tag but has the looks and the power to back it up. It’s big, heavy, black and sleek, powerful (2,500 lumens, making it $1k per lumen) and was unveiled in January for release in April. From just six inches away it can project a 100 inch image onto a wall in sparkling high definition, so if you can afford it, this is the new, top of the line projector to have for 2017.

Razer Project Ariana

 
Something completely different, this has been one of the the stars of the CES 2017 convention, a total immersion gaming projector that is designed to add to your gaming experience by projecting the video onto the walls all around your screen. It’s the next step on from their Razer Chroma color immersion system and looks absolutely stunning. Obviously it will only appeal to a certain type of audience, but if you’re a die-hard gamer, this is definitely the future.
 

Optoma 4K500

 
Launched at the ISE Exhibition in Amsterdam in February, Optoma’s newest addition to its line-up is the 4K500, its first 4K projector. It has four million mirrors to deliver precise, sharp images of eight million pixels, with each mirror apparently capable of switching over 9,000 times a second. The 4K500 has a single-chip DLP design that avoids alignment issues to deliver extreme precision with no ghosting, so this looks like one to watch for in 2017.

Panasonic PT-RZ31K

 
Another big announcement at ISE was Panasonic’s replacement for its hugely popular high brightness projector PT-DZ21K. The PT-RZ31K projects a brightness of 31,000 lumens with a 3 Chip DLP display and what they describe as ‘best in class’ 90% brightness uniformity. Generally aimed at large venues, these projectors are known as reliable and exceptionally high performers, so the release of the PT-RZ31K will be hotly anticipated.
