7. BenQ HT2060<\/h3>\n

Technology \u2013 DLP |\u00a0Light source \u2013 LED |\u00a0Resolution \u2013 2K |\u00a0Luminous flux \u2013 2,300 lm<\/p>\n

The BenQ HT2060 \u201conly\u201d offers 1080p resolution and 2,300 lumens of light output – nevertheless, this is a real bestseller.\u00a0The video projector is priced at $999 in the US – while providing a luxurious picture with an ideal color palette (full compliance with Rec.709), 3D support and a long-lasting LED light source.\u00a0Add HDR10 and HLG, two HDMI ports, extremely low output latency of 16.7ms at 1080p 60Hz and a built-in pair of 5W speakers and you have a clear best buy.<\/p>\n

\"6.Hisense<\/p>\n

6. Hisense PL1H<\/h3>\n

Technology \u2013 DLP |\u00a0Light source \u2013 X Fusion Laser|\u00a0Resolution \u2013 4K XPR2 Shift |\u00a0Luminous flux \u2013 2,100 lm<\/p>\n

Pros \u2013<\/b>\u00a0chic palette, short focus<\/p>\n

Cons \u2013<\/b>\u00a0low brightness<\/p>\n

Verdict \u2013<\/b>\u00a0a step forward for Hisense<\/p>\n

Hisense PL1H\u00a0\u00a0has a 4K resolution (XPR2 Shift pixel shift technology is used) and allows you to project a 120-inch diagonal picture from just a distance of 45 cm. The device runs on a very flexible proprietary Smart TV OS VIDAA U6 and supports video with extended dynamic range not only in HDR10, but also in Dolby Vision.\u00a0The luminous flux of 2,100 lm is not high, but working with the color palette is crazy – the device covers the Rec709 color space by 114.7%, and DCI P3 by 85%.<\/p>\n

\"5.<\/p>\n

5. BenQ TK860i<\/h3>\n

Technology \u2013 DLP |\u00a0Light source \u2013 Metal Halide lamp |\u00a0Resolution \u2013 4K |\u00a0Luminous flux \u2013 3,300 lm<\/p>\n

Pros –<\/b>\u00a0record luminous flux for the group, very vivid image<\/p>\n

Cons \u2013<\/b>\u00a0there was no way to use the laser as a light source<\/p>\n

Verdict \u2013<\/b>\u00a0another iconic model from BenQ<\/p>\n

The BenQ TK860i is the brightest projector in the company’s new line, reaching 3,300 ANSI lumens!\u00a0The color gamut in 98% of the Rec.709 space will clearly not disappoint you; the use of a lamp rather than a laser in this price range (1,799 euros in Europe) is a clear necessity.\u00a0The projector boasts an incredibly bright picture and can function well in dimly lit conditions.\u00a0Its ability to handle fast camera movements is, again, exceptional \u2013 bravo.<\/p>\n

\"4.<\/p>\n

4. Samsung The Premiere LSP9T<\/h3>\n

Technology \u2013 DLP |\u00a0Light source \u2013 3 x Laser |\u00a0Resolution \u2013 4K |\u00a0Luminous flux \u2013 2,800 lm<\/p>\n

Pros –<\/b>\u00a0unique light source, stunningly natural picture<\/p>\n

Cons \u2013<\/b>\u00a0nothing significant for the price<\/p>\n

Verdict \u2013<\/b>\u00a0classic never gets old<\/p>\n

Samsung The Premiere LSP9T\u00a0\u00a0remains at the top of the charts – an ultra-short-throw model based on a DLP chip (DMD 0.66 inches, 3,840 x 2,160 pixels) is equipped with a unique triple laser.\u00a0Separate sources for red, blue and green provide stunning color palette, brightness and contrast.\u00a0The manufacturer guarantees full coverage of DCI-P3 and even Rec.2020 color spaces, which can be considered a unique achievement for a projector.<\/p>\n

\"3.<\/p>\n

3. JVC DLA-NZ8<\/h3>\n

Pros \u2013<\/b>\u00a0reference contrast and black field depth<\/p>\n

Cons \u2013<\/b>\u00a0not the highest brightness<\/p>\n

Verdict \u2013<\/b>\u00a0High End in every sense<\/p>\n

The flagship projector based on D-ILA technology,\u00a0JVC DLA-NZ8\u00a0, offers the best black color among all competitors, regardless of price – no one can compete with this device in this parameter, we have a kind of \u201cOLED\u201d among video projectors.\u00a0The device can only be criticized for its luminous flux, which is not too high by today’s standards – the brightest scenes in HDR can be a little less impressive on a large screen area than expected.<\/p>\n

\"2.<\/p>\n

Disadvantages –<\/b>\u00a0in the most complex scenes you can notice imperfect elaboration of halftones<\/p>\n

Verdict \u2013<\/b>\u00a0Epson Pro Cinema LS12000 \u2013 Jack of all trades<\/p>\n

With a scan rate of 120 Hz, the Epson Pro Cinema LS12000 is a star from the sky in terms of picture smoothness and stability – the device can be watched for many hours without a hint of fatigue.\u00a0The company has made the most of the capabilities of 3LCD matrices – together with an array of backlighting from laser light sources, the image is luxuriously deep and incredibly detailed.\u00a0The luminous flux of 2,700 lumens will not disappoint you either.<\/p>\n

1. Sony VPL-XW7000ES<\/h3>\n

Technology \u2013 SXRD |\u00a0Light source \u2013 Laser diode |\u00a0Resolution \u2013 4K |\u00a0Luminous flux \u2013 3,200 lm<\/p>\n
