Top 5 Best Home Theater Projectors

Welcome to GetMojo, we do the research so you don’t have to! In this video, we’re offering our picks for the 5 best projectors on the market in 2020.

Who doesn’t want a home cinema, right? Well, nowadays, compact home cinema projector systems are more accessible, and affordable, than ever before. But with many to choose from, where do you even start? Well, not to worry, we’ve got you covered. To help you decide, we’ve sifted through numerous website and consumer reviews to present our 5 recommended products. Okay, first up.

For those who want to experience the same crisp, vivid imagery as the cinema, BenQ has this awesome 4K resolution system, priced at around $1,500. Extremely compact and offering a wide range of light control - to allow for clearer viewing flexibility - this BenQ projector earned the title of best overall projector by the website Wired. Simple to set up, and able to be used at a distance of just over 8 feet, it’s suitable for pretty much any room in the house.

At around half the price of the aforementioned BenQ model, at $850, this Epson model represents great value for money. This 1080p resolution projector is ideal for those who like to watch things like sporting events in the middle of the day, due to its impressive 2,500 lumens of brightness. It may not offer 4K resolution, but it’s compact, easy to set-up and highly compatible with a range of devices - and we like the fact that it offers two HDMI ports too.

Not all of us want a projector for home cinema purposes. Some of us want to game on it - and if that sounds like you, then Optoma has a system just for that. Priced at $800, this Optoma system supports 4K UHD, is HDR10-compatible and boasts 3,800 lumens - that’s bright! It also has a 120 Hz refresh rate, so gamers can be assured they won’t miss out on any of the action due to lag. Its short throw is also a massive selling point, as it’s able to project an image as big as 120 inches from as little as four feet away.

If you want to take your home cinema from room to room, or on your travels, then this $220 Kodak model is a great choice. This almost pocket-sized projector is capable of projecting images of up to 150 inches in size, and is tripod-mountable for added convenience. Playing media on it is simple too, with USB, HDMI, MicroSD and Airplay or Miracast streaming compatibility.

Before we reveal our final pick, here are a few other great products that are worth a mention:

If price is not an option and you really want a true home cinema experience, then this $3,000 Epson projector is an excellent choice. With 4K resolution, 2,600 lumens and Epson’s Ultra Black technology, this projector offers astonishing picture quality - particularly when it comes, of course, to deep black colors. But to be clear, this isn’t your average projector. It’s best suited to large rooms, to make the most of its superb, large-screen clarity.

So which projector should you choose? Well, the brightness of a projector has a lot to do with picture clarity, especially in lighter rooms, so make sure you check out things like lumen figures before buying.
