With so many different types of projectors out there I figured it was time to update my How To Choose A Projector video from a few years ago. In this video I cover everything from portable projectors, budget projectors, gaming projectors, ultra short throw projectors and even high end projectors.

Excellent video. I bought an Epson 6040UB about two years ago. Excellent projector. Also I painted the drywall with Goo Systems which is a reflective paint specifically designed for projectors. It was way less expensive than an actual screen and it works beautifully.
Just moved into a new home that has a home theater. This was my first stop when I set out to replace the existing projector and you did not disappoint!
Chris, as usual.... awesome and informative review!
Your videos has been most helpful the kast couple years when i started getting into this projector craze. This provided me refreshed information on ny next projectors. Keep it coming.
Dude THANK YOU for such an excellent video. You Really give a great feel for what’s all out there, the entire range of quality and portability

Time stamps means you can skip lol.
I bought my very first toy projector yesterday! Really enjoyed the experience. I just wanted a big screen and am not a big stickler for quality. I only watch movies at night and the area in my house I am projecting to is equivalent to a 65 inch TV maximum which would have cost me ~$600 at least. So it was a no brainer for me. Will consider updating to a pricey option eventually.
When you update consider a hd143x by optoma optoma are one of the very few companies that don't charge £300 for a new bulb
Thanks Chris.
You brought a lot of things together here. - Cheers!
Nice video for new projector enthousiasts! I followed your previous advice from your previous videos and now I have almost for 1 year the Benq TK850 and I am very satisfied from picture quality both sunny days and dark nights. Though for everyone new to this subject it is better to check for a projector with keystone correction (horizontal and vertical). It will make your life easier.
You should NEVER use keystone bro...
@@bryanp4827agreed
Someone explain this keystone thing
Ewww keystone. Your poor picture quality
I appreciate you for the video. Very concise and well spoken. Will subscribe and share. Keep up the good work.
Great video mate - really solid advice for anyone looking to buy a new projector!
Hey Chris, thanks for creating this video. It was exactly what I was looking for. I'm planning to build a patio theater to watch games and movies with my family and friends. Thanks again! -- Greetings from Costa Rica!
Good video as always!! I took your advice last year and got a short throw projector and a good screen, I love my home theater system.
I'm so glad I found this channel, thank you for your content
Chris..I am a disabled veteran and have limited funds..I was able to finance the new Benq ht 4550i and get the $ 200.00 rebate from Benq..This pyojector is amazingly bright and colors are great.I have a 150" matte white screen and it is so bright, I turned it down and contrast was awesome in 4k..Keep up the info videos...Thanks..
New viewer. Great video. Super informative. Thanks so much!
Great and to the point. well done!
I bought the Epson 1080 about a year ago and still absolutely love it. Straight up 1080p image, which at 120in is REALLY good, and the brightness in daylight is comparable to a tv. Didn't have to break the bank, hands down so glad I went with it rather than a big tv.
Which 1080 version u got?
@lucasbeauchemin9671 The 1080 right now is 750 and you can select the buy over 5 months plan and pay only 150 bucks a month
I just switched from my old trusted 1080p projector a BenQ TH681+ to the Epson 6250. It used to be with the 1080p projector I could walk up and count the pixels on the screen but not anymore 😊
Even these cheap "4k" projectors are a lot sharper than the 1080p ones. The only issue is they cheap out with only hdmi 1.4 ports on the machine.
what's the projector called?
@@mistersmith25
Does it have a HDMI entry? In order to connect the Fire Tv Stick or a Nintendo Switch :P
Wonderful video!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thanks a ton for this breakdown
This is extremely helpful. Thank you. I've been wanting to get a projector to use outdoors (at night, of course), but I wasn't sure what to look for or what I should expect to pay.
Awesome video and channel! Do you have a list of all of your recommendations somewhere? I'm in some severe analysis paralysis at the moment haha! Throw distance is really throwing me for a loop too - got 9ft of distance, want 120" picture, but not sure what's ideal for picture quality / brightness
Ok. Thank you. You may have helped my solve a technical problem today!
very cool and helpful video
Thanks for all the effort putting the video together. Any advice would greatly be appreciated, which projector would you choose between the Samsung lsp9t or Fengmi T1 chinese version for the same price new? I'm really undecided as the Fengmi has better blacks and Dolby Vision but seems to have issues with focus and any warrenty I need to send it back to China. Cheers
I knew nothing about Home Projectors and I’m looking into buying one, watching your video helped me a lot to understand the differences, Thank You Chris I appreciate it
i bought a rca brand one at walmart for 35 bucks. super impressed with it
Great video - what would be Ur long throw projector pick between 3k-4k range for dedicated mini home theatre setup.
great videos i got the nebula capsule 3 b/c of your review!! it’s amazing
i was wondering when/if your gonna get a chance to review the benq v5000i (whenever it’s released)
Best projector education I’ve gotten from TH-cam yet. Thanks for making this video. What do you recommend for a a 17ft. throw and 10 ft. wide wall space? Looking to build 4k home theatre set up with option for fast-paced casual gaming.
Hey Chris, love your projector reviews, thanks for doing them. I got mine years ago after watching your review for optoma gt1080. Any plans on reviewing xgimi ultra horizon ultra 4k projector?
@SLYTHEMASTER
Hi @chrismajestic i have been watching your videos and my only big concern is the fan noise on Ultra short throw projectors. Formovie theater is my first option, second Awol 2500. But i have checked several blogs and it is like if you are 3 meters (9 feet) far from the projector, the noise would be noticeable like an AC fan. Some people say that sometimes is annoying. So what would you recommend it to me as the lowest fan noise in ultra short throw projectors? Thanks in advance!!!
Excellent video as usual.. Really hoping you could do some reviews on the new Benq Projectors that have been released in the last month or so.. If and when possible. Thank you
Hey, thanks for making this video! I was wondering what your best recommendation would be for someone wanting to project “liquid light shows” (usually played through a TH-cam player to play the video) behind/ on bands in smaller local music venues. What would you reccomend that would fill the room/ wouldn’t be too bright for a bands eyes. Would this work? They use to achieve this by using the old school light projectors we are used to seeing in schools. Hope that is enough info to get what I’m looking for across, and hope you can help!! :)
mmm, appreciate the effort for doing this video but, actually, the interesting part of doing a video about how things stand about projectors in the current year is specifically about the brands and models: which once are dated or, rather, which ones remain high up despite having 5+ years since release, for example.
Tech moves way way faster than most of us like and within only 2 years the scenario can dramatically change. So whats good about this type of content is check wether that brand we just saw from a 3-year-old video its still rocking or not.
Many of this things you cover in the video doesn't really depend on age and haven't changed at all after all these years.
You are a killer youtuber, though (as you probably already know to well) and your extremely dedicated and super well made videos are very very helpful for many of us. so, thank you for that
Ive got the new philips screeneo u5. Just thought id let you guys no that right now its terrible. The motion artifacts are constant. Blocks apearing randomly. Issues with details being completely changed when cameras are panned. Thats just for starters. Ive been complaining to phillips for 2 months. So far after sending videos ive still heard nothing back. laters
Thanks for your input
Thank you! Saves me time, and money. I appreciate that. 😊
Hello great video. Is there a projector you can recommend if i just want to play it on a wall without a screen for a workout area in my basement.
Love the video. What would you recommend for a barndo with almost unlimited space for the size of the screen? Mostly for football games when we have people over, so there will be natural light in the barn.
What do you suggest for an outdoor projector for Halloween decorations? Using Atmosfx effects projected to a garage door?
I bought a used Epson hc 4000 and I absolutely love it. It may not be true 4k but it looks so good
Excellent video. Working as a visual artist, can you recommend a projector for tracing a still image from a Pixel phone onto a canvas?
Hey chris, longtime viewer and new subscriber. I have a question for you, what 120 inch alr screen do you think is best for the formovie short throw laser projector in a living room not dedicated home theater. Thank you
I love you reviews. When are you testing the XGIMI Horizon Ultra?
Hey, so I just bought my first house a couple days ago. I am looking to get a decent but budget friendly outdoor projector and screen to have little movie nights and maybe play some Mario kart and other games like that on our patio. What would you suggest for either a projector and screen combo that's around 4-500 or separate ones that are around the same total? Thank you.
Im new to this. Can you connect your pc from your office in the house to your projector in your bedroom for example? which if any would allow you to streamcast like this?
do you think its worth upgrading from the original mijia projector to a newer model?
What projector would you recommend for out doors use only? Doesn't have to be only battery operated as we have a plug. Looking for something easy to setup and take down when we have guest over. Not to pricey but decent quality.
Super helpful video, thank you! My problem is that I'd want to use a projector at an angle to project high up on a wall. I'll be watching more of your videos to learn more 🙌
Thank you.
Very nice
Laser DLP or LCD for outdoors.. ? whats good one? most recommendations just arent bright enough unles you go out after 9
thank you very much for this review, please, what would you recommend for a play on stage so that that the actors can go in front of the screen, I looked for laser projector, but unfortunately you can not go in front of it, as I understand the laser projector has a protection and not allow it.We have a room in front of the stage about 80m2. Thanks
Ceiling - 3.5m.
the projector could be placed in a distance of 1m-2.5m from the ceiling.
Ceiling is colored white, but during use, the room will be 90% dark (no lights).
It's mostly used for programming, so words/letters should be well seen.
Which projector model do you recommend of?
Thanks! Very informative and educational :D in conclusion, I'll just stick to my TV lol
I’m looking for one that will work with a small screen maybe like 50-75 inch. We’re placing it at the end of the bed so we don’t have a lot of distance to work with either. What do you suggest
what should i get for my room if its usually very dark and i just need a cheap one for tv or the best cheapest one
Do you know any good projector that have dust protection and low fan noise for bedroom. Im looking for budget friendly but not a toy projector more so short throw projector
What is the 2023 replacement for the optoma gt1080hdr - I dont want to go long throw or ultra short throw but im looking for a little more detail and contrast in the image...???
Looking for a projector to watch sports at my bar. It’s for outdoor daytime to watch sports. What do you recommend for best value with a TV like HD picture?
Hi Chris I have a doubt does optical zooming in all these projectors affects quality . I mean does increasing the screen size from 150 to 180 inch affects the quality of image especially in 4k projectors
What are your thoughts on the PVO mini projector and the Heyup boxe mini projector?
Bought a Formovie Theater UST based on your videos, its awesome for a dedicated theater room
Black levels and contrast?
This is an awesome video. I’m still trying to find a good outdoor projector for my daughter and I to play games and watch movies. I’m overwhelmed by the options. Anyone have a preference? We used to have an Epson but it died on us last year.
Thanks for the info. So I would like to purchase a projector that's mobile, however it will be used most of the time in my bedroom. Do I have to have a projector that has apps already installed or can I use my laptop? One more question Can I connect my Apple TV to a projector?
Very good
With some of the smaller budget projectors, do they commonly have the option to be used on a smaller screen. The big screen feature is not what I'm looking for , I'm just wanting to find one that can take place of my monitor. Can they commonly be used for around 30 to 40 inch size? And do they have screens this size?Or is it very uncommon?
What are the best projector to connect to a Sonos beam with no delay?
I've been waiting for the best projector for each budget category
What projecter would you recommend for watching tv
Hello I love your videos , could you make a video or short video on how a laser projector can perform direct on the wall without a projector screen , I am looking for a Hisense l9 but it's too expensive for me and I like gaming also ,
What projector should I get for my back patio to watch movies and games at night? Going to use a 100” screen
Aloha Chris, i have a proper ceiling mounted Epson projector and a 127in screen 20ft away. I use a Roku plugged into a soundbar that sit on a high shelf behind me right next to the project. My problem is the main audio comes from behind me. Dialog from movies muddy and hard to understand. I often put on subtitles.
Is there anyway to get low latency speakers in front of me wirelessly? Not willing Running cables all over my living room.
Cheers,
Po
could you recommend (?) - to project technical drawings from laptop to wall, large image @3x3 meter or 3x2 meter. Thanks
Hello, I have about 4-5 meters to the wall and would like a good first projector for movies and some casual gaming for 100-120" screen. Budget is about 1500 USD, what do you think about Optoma UHZ45 ?
What projector under 250ish would be best for sitting on the roof of my car running off a 300w inverter so I can watch movies during my lunchtime? Aiming at a white ish cinderblock wall at night as I work nightshift
Looking for a projector that would be the best for live sports. It will be in a business building so there will be some sky lights. Any suggestions?
Hey Chris I found a like new Mitsubishi HC6800 I know that Mitsubishi is no longer in the projector business but for the price of $100 do you think it would be worth it? I have a theatre room however, it would mostly be used for watching sports and some movies
Do you have a suggestion for a good projector. my heads spinning with so many options. 10x12 foot room no windows 100% darkness I just want a 90-100 inch screen. Only for movies or tv $600 or less just not a traditional hot bulb. If you were me what would you get?
I'm looking for a mountable (prefer black but will do white) projector with great blacks, crisp images, looks good with the lights semi dim. My screen is 130" and the mount is about 13 - 15 ft from screen. Any help is greatly appreciated. Budget is under 5k.
Hey Chris! Will we see you in the Projector Central tests again? That was like a main factor for me to track it since you were in it last year!
Question... I have a projector rental business. I have a projectorl that works for my 33ft screen okayyy but im trying to up my game by getting a 66ft screen and getting better projectors. I'm looking for more lumens to play movies earlier in the night but also something with a native 4k so it doesn't look all pixilated on the 66ft screen/ drive in parking lot screen. What would you recommend I was looking into the Epson Pro L30000UNL Laser WUXGA 3LCD Projector with 4K Enhancement just cause I figure just cut to the biggest but if theirs anything that can help and save some money that you know of I'd greatly appreciate your feed back. Thanks ahead of time.
Im thinking of buying a projector and want recommendations. Just want it for playing videos/films at night and must be able to play my holiday videos through a cable connection from my android phone. Mirroring them on my tv just doesn't work well. Any suggestions please. Price range up to £350.
What projector would you recommend for a gaming 1080p projector? Cause I would love to get a projector, but 4k is something I'll never get into. 1080p is just fine for me. But I'm having trouble trying to find a 1080p one. Most of them are 4k
are there any projectors where you can hook up your computer, ps5 or dvd player?
Any tips on projectors for mural artists? - I need to project onto a 9m high wall. I never usually use them so I have no clue! Any help is much appreciated :)
Where is the link you mentioned to the "toy" category projector video?
Great info! Looking for a recommendation! I'm in a band that has a 6 foot diameter scrim in the back that we want to put video onto. Room will be mostly dark. Projector will be truss mounted. Ideally we want a 12 to 14 foot distance throw. The projector we have now starts to be in focus at 17 feet away but we need to be closer. Trying to accomplish something like Pink Floyd on a small scale. Lag is not important. True color is not important. Most important is at least 6 feet high from 12 to 14 feet away. Thoughts?
I plan to put a projector outside where our pool is. I want a screen on one wall of the lanai and a projector that we cast movies. Primarily played in evening or night. Any top suggestions? (Budget $1000 -$1500)

Can you test the Bomaker Polaris? Really tempted to get it but wish i knew how it compares to the hisense px1
Hello Chris!
I’m in a dilemma and would like your expert opinion on this. So your help would be greatly appreciated. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m stuck between choosing an upscale projector for my purpose built home theatre room with an approximate projection size of 180-190 inches. It’s come down to two shortlised products in the same price catagory. Between the BENQ LK935 and EPSON LS12000B which would you recommend for a dark home theatre room. While the BENQ has higher Lumens and black ratio, it’s been listed on the official website as a conference room projector. While EPSON is marketing their product as a home theatre solution specific for content watching. What would you recommend since it’s quite an expensive investment and I don’t want to buy a product which won’t satisfy my requirements. Thanks a ton and always appreciate your quality content :))
waiting to hear your review on the HT4550i
Fuck mate, so fucking helpful, exactly what I was looking for. Cheers mate
I had a BenQ HT2150ST a few years ago and returned it... now I want it back! ... should I consider something else? I liked the one I had.
what about a projector for a pub or bar that is bright during the day and dark at night for sports?
In relation to projectors for business, the main limitations that you mention and that they have for being used in home theater, I have seen that the new EPSON EB-L570U greatly reduces them; Rec709 color coverage, 10 bits color processor, 4K pro enhancement, HDR10, dyn. contrast 2,500,000:1, V+H lens shift, large throw ratio, low noise, Laser Ph. The drawback that can be made is that, although the luminosity can be reduced from the original 5200 lum to 3500 lum, it is still too much for a dark HT. Since you cannot adjust the iris manually, I thought that using an ND filter could reduce the brightness considerably. We would have to try it and see how it performs in HT, since it costs half the price of the L12000 and is much smaller and also has a media player.
Are there any projectors that can work from very long distances (50-100 feet)?
