Short -fragment projector best suited for all settings

I had no plan to throw away my TV. It was big and effective and made Netflix look great. But for 100 hours, I dragged too many consoles across the floor to rearrange the settings, and I started to wonder why I worked. approximately I can just do a screen … one project.

There is a short throw projector there. I don't need a nice setting. The screen is not needed. Hell, you rarely need a distance. These are a few feet or even sitting height The huge surprisingly surprisingly colorful image of making the TV feel like a relic on the wall. I chose a little cheap, some exaggeration. And I found that I actually changed the wall to be worth seeing. Let's see it.

Optoma GT2000HDR

I will start the list with the most budget -friendly choice I can find -Optima GT2000. It throws 100 -inch images from just 3.3 feet away and Optoma is evaluated as 3,500 ANSI Lumens. It's a native 1080p, but you can hear the date, but it's a down scale because it accepts 4K HDR content.

Gamers will be satisfied with the delay of 8.6ms of 1080p120, weighing only 6.6 pounds and suitable for 11 × 8.5 × 4.5 -inch footprints, so if you want, you can literally be packed for vacation. In ECO mode, Power Draws remain reasonably at 100W, and fan noise does not make you crazy.

The 15W mono speaker now makes a good sound as it is built into the projector. 709 colors instead of a broader color area that actually pops HDR content. But to be honest, this work is effective to enter in a short time without selling organs.

LG CINEBEAM HU915QB

Instead of making everything bright, it is a smart work. They divided the USST lineup into two models. The HU915QE focuses on primitive lumens, while the QB version focuses on getting the color perfectly. The 3-channel RGB laser setting provides a 100% DCI-P3 application range. This is because the brighter model cannot match because it trades color accuracy for additional lumens.

Cinebeam is provided with 3,000 ANSI lumens and a 0.19: 1 throw rate, so you can get a project of 3.9 inches from 3.9 inches from the wall. The whole unit weighs 27 pounds and appears in all this restrained matte black finish that do not shout “expensive projectors” when people come.

Webos 6.0 means getting a full smart TV experience through Netflix, Apple TV+, Disney+and AirPlay 2 if you are trapped in the ecosystem of Apple. The 40W speaker actually sounds suitable for built -in audio, but still struggles with the base (like almost all projectors that have been produced so far).

The game is not actually this. You are about 67ms delay, so you can adhere to RPG instead of competitive shooters. Making a QB special is orthodontic support. It works with a professional Calman Authorcal Systems, so the video idiot can dial with the color accuracy of the reference quality that competes with Studio Monitors.

Samsung LSP9T “Premier”

Samsung has become a movie experience in this movie, and you can see from the moment when the RGB triple laser setting works. This deals with about 108 % BT.2020 volume (and ~ 147 % DCI-P3), and 2,800 ANSI lumens are not the highest in this list, but still enough to control the lights.

Throwing ultra -high levels get 9 inches from 130 inches to 130 inches from the wall. Samsung aimed to be a movie producer mode and HDR10+ support for this problem, and the built-in 4.2-channel 40W sound system can create an interesting surround sound trick with the Q-SYMPHONY Soundbar. Tizen OS provides all expected smart features, including voice control through Bixby of Alexa, Google Assistant and Samsung.

Still, the following are as follows: The batch should be absolutely perfect because there is no lens shift or zoom in or reduced. Samsung contains an automatic set routine to help, but it will measure everything twice anyway. Once again, the game delay is about 55ms, so competitive gamers should see elsewhere.

BENQ x500i

Benq said, “What if we make special for gamers?” And this is what they came up with. The four -person RGBB light engine completely removes the rainbow artifacts because there is no color wheel that rotates initially. More importantly, if you use the automatic game mode that automatically detects Xbox, PlayStation or Nintendo Switch for competitive games, it will drop from 4K60 to 4.2ms for competitive games.

1.2 times optical zoom + digital shift provides some flexibility to the batch. You can forgive you more than a fixed lens projector that requires a millimeter precision by pressing 100 inches about 6-7 feet away.

It also has 84% ​​DCI-P3 color coverage (2200 lumens) and is very impressive for LED-based projectors. Android TV 11 dongle has a Google certification, but Netflix still requires some side road tricks that are still difficult to find out. The USB-C input works with the DisplayPort Alt-Mode, so you can connect the laptop directly without the adapter.

Viewson X2-4K

This is the world's first “designed” designed “projector. In other words, we have passed Microsoft's 63 test certification program. To be honest, it is more marketing than to affect the use of every day. Game performance is 1080p240Hz, 2000 lumens and 4K60, consistent with 4.2ms delay and benq at 16ms, so competitive gamers get what they need.

The 1.2x zoom is suitable for 80-120 inch screens in rooms that can control lighting somewhat. If you throw HDMI EARC support for Harman Kardon 12W Stereo speakers and external audio systems, you have the right choice.

The APTOIDE Smart Platform is very limited compared to the appropriate Android TV or Webos, so most people connect Xbox or Fire TV to destroy the purpose of buying smart functions. The cooling system may be aggressive when HDR content pushes LED fan noise spikes to 39dBa.

XGIMI AURA 2

This model is interesting because it offers a variety of premium functions without the usually provided premium price table. The Light 2.0 Laser Hybrid offers 2,300 ISO lumens (about 2,600 ANSI lumens) with 99% DCI-P3 color coverage, allowing the projector to double the cost.

In fact, this is the first US projector with both Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhanced certification, so HDR content is actually mapped correctly instead of blowing highlights as if some cheap models tend to do. 0.177: 1 Throwing ratio gets 100 inches from 7 inches or more on the wall.

The intelligent screen adaptation system processes automatic focus, keystone correction, wall color correction, and can also automatically mask areas that are not part of the screen. It is the same as the technology installation program is built into the projector. The 60W Front Firing Harman Kardon Soundbar must actually go toe with an exterior bar in the middle range. I think this is built into the projector housing.

Power consumption is maintained efficiently at 180W in normal mode and is quite good for the projector of this class. The game delay is about 20ms and is suitable for casual games but not competitive.
