Best Digital Projectors for Image Quality (2024)

Motorized lens shift, motorized focus, and lens memory mean you can not only install the projector off-center from the screen, but you also don't have to mount it upside down on the ceiling.

The included remote is essentially the same one we've seen for a few years now. Although it is somewhat big and bulky, it is at least backlit and has nearly every button you could ask for on a projector remote.

It has a full-size USB port, a service port, a 12-volt trigger, an Ethernet jack, another USB port labeled Optical HDMI, which can be used for HDMI cables that need additional power, two HDMI 2.1 ports that support up to 4K at 120 hertz, as well as an RS-232 port.

The LS 12000 also comes with a ceiling mount, as well as anamorphic lens modes, which make it a better fit for dedicated home theaters.

The lack of Auto Iris and dynamic tone mapping are not deal breakers for me, as I was perfectly fine with manually adjusting the HDR setting when necessary.

I found the LS 11000 to actually be quieter than my 5050 UB. Considering it uses less power and produces less heat, this kind of makes sense.

When you increase the laser brightness to 100 or use some of the brighter picture modes, you can definitely hear the fan spin up.

The home theater Optimizer and DML will come activated out of the box.

We currently offer free calibration software for our previous Precision line series.

If you're trying to really dial in the FOC Focus as soon as you turn the projector on, you may encounter some conflicting results because of that.

It is a true 48-gigabits-per-second HDMI.

Just like their previous models, these new units are built like tanks.

Every single unit is quite heavy, around 50 lbs, so we highly recommend that you have a friend help you if you're going to hang your new JVC projector.

The 800 and 900 models are actually even quieter.

The new blue Essent laser is more efficient and generates less heat, so the fan needs to work a little less hard.

The world's first 4K laser projector with Google TV and Netflix built-in.

The remote control included is probably the worst aspect of this projector. The remote control isn't terrible; it's just a bit basic.

On the back of the projector, there are two HDMI ports; one is HDMI 2.1.

There are also two USB ports, a headphone port, optical audio, a LAN port, and the power adapter input.

I love the stealth-type design.

You do have to bear in mind that this is quite glossy and, therefore, will attract fingerprints and smudge marks, but it is provided with a dust cloth.

Managing this projector is a breeze.

The setup process is a breeze. I had my laptop connected in under three minutes.

BenQ keeps things simple, making navigation a breeze.

The LH 730 offers a solid selection with two HDMI ports, a Wi-Fi dongle port, a network line, and 232 rupees.

Creston AMX and PJ Link integration are here to make your life easier.

The projector offers an optional Wi-Fi dongle, enabling wireless casting for mobile devices and PCs.

The BenQ LH 730 boasts a sleek white casing with user-friendly controls.

Despite its professional-grade performance, the LH 730 maintains a relatively compact form factor.

BenQ's decision to recess the lens adds a layer of protection.

The projector features motorized lens shift, motorized focus, and lens memory.

You can mount it on a high shelf with the right side up if you prefer.

The included remote is essentially the same one we've seen for a few years now.

It has a great menu system with many options.

It has a full-size USB port, a service port, a 12-volt trigger, an Ethernet jack, another USB port labeled Optical HDMI, which can be used for HDMI cables that need additional power, two HDMI 2.1 ports that support up to 4K at 120 hertz, as well as an RS-232 port.

The LS 11000 is pretty much the same size, measuring just over 20 inches wide, nearly 18 inches deep, around seven inches tall, and weighing around 28 pounds.

It still has the motorized lens in the front center, with vents on the front sides.

I found the LS 11000 to be quieter than my 5050 UB.

When you increase the laser brightness to 100 or use some of the brighter picture modes, you can definitely hear the fan spin up.

It has automatic motorized horizontal and vertical keystone correction, as well as motorized autofocus.

The remote control is simple enough, and I'll show you a little bit more about it later.

The Android TV OS is official, smooth, and fast in operation.

It has HDMI ARC, which is a nice touch, and there is also a version of Android TV built in.

You have a dedicated button on the remote control that allows you to change the source.

Netflix is not available at the moment, but I'm told that it is coming soon.

It does appear to be made from plastic, but it has quite a bit of weight to it, and it feels very robust and well-made.

The remote control feels a little plasticky, but it certainly makes up for it with its functions.

The noise level is very quiet, at just 22 to 27 decibels.

From a one-meter distance, you can expect around 36 decibels of fan noise, which is rather on the quieter side.

Essentially, it is a complete solution consisting of an ultra-short throw projector paired with an ALR screen.

We also have features like Google TV, including Netflix.

Technically, it's a laser TV. It works with your aerial to give you access to live TV and all the digital channels.

We also have features like Google TV, including Netflix.

This ambient light-rejecting screen is designed to counteract that, allowing you to watch at any time of the day in any room.

Dolby Atmos audio is built-in, so when you're sitting down to watch a film, it feels even more immersive.

The UHZ50 is still surprisingly easy to get working well and producing good results.

The vertical lens shift requires a bit of force to adjust it up and down.

The menu speed and responsiveness are much better on the UHZ50.

The UHZ50 is the first projector from Optoma to offer three HDMI inputs.

It offers ultra-low input lag, along with support for running ultra-high refresh rates of up to 240 hertz in 1080p.

The app selection is limited when compared to the full-featured Android TV.

The UHZ50 is compact and well-built, featuring a laser light source that powers down immediately.

The remote control is not as good as the previous models.

The UHZ50 operates quietly, with no need for a cooling-down period due to its laser light source.

It's called lens shift when I'm switching from content in a 16:9 aspect ratio to watching a movie filmed in a 21:9 aspect ratio.

It's something that I or another member of my family can do very easily.

The automatic lens allows you to move the lens left-right, up-down, focus, and also adjust the keystone if needed, so you can get it perfectly fit on your screen.

This has a low latency of about 24 milliseconds, which is fantastic for a projector with HDR, 4K, and 60 Hertz.

Fully featured full inputs, which are awesome.

Looking nice is a huge priority, man.

I love the lens as it opens up. It's just slick how it covers the lens when not in use. That's premium right there.

The fan noise is good; it's fine when kept at medium. However, if you switch to the high lamp setting, you might hear it.
