best projector screen 2016

This year's list of winners for for our Home Theater Projectors Report are organized into five "classes," that is, price range/categories, plus a Best of the Best!  As such, we ended up with more awards kêu ca usual.  Go figure! View the top 4k projectors in 2021. If you are in a hurry đồ sộ see the winners by category, scroll down! In addition đồ sộ a respectable number of "carry over" projectors from last year's report, (models that that are still current), we managed đồ sộ review an additional 14 home page entertainment and home theater projectors in the past 12 months. These awards go to projectors that are current models, which Projector Reviews has reviewed.  We don't get đồ sộ review them all, especially as there are perhaps two dozen of sub $1000 home page entertainment models (many are below 1080p resolution which aren't included in this report).  We made one exception this year, giving an award đồ sộ a projector seen, but not reviewed.

In addition, two award winners, and one that didn't, are included in this report, but whose reviews are not written up yet.  They were important đồ sộ include đồ sộ round out the competition, they should all be published by early October. We know there are some other good ones out there (mostly over $10,000, and especially over $30,000) that we never get a chance đồ sộ review.  We again have a Best of the Best award. Some insights regarding the contestants, and the awards: Epson, easily won the most awards, but not surprising since they  have, by far, the most projectors in their line-up. Only Epson, JVC, Sony, Vivitek have projectors over $5000 in this report.  Perhaps the fact that Epson has far more models on the market (25+ if you count all variations) kêu ca anyone else, and that they are in all market segments, is why they have close to 50% of the US market share, per industry research firm PMA.  (That they make some pretty good projectors helps too, of course!)  As đồ sộ over $4000 projectors, this will change next year, with the surfacing of DLP projectors using TI's new 4 Megapixel DLP chips (like px shifting 1080p projectors - they are faux-K, not true 4K, no matter what the "Blu-ray UHD" folks calls them).  I would expect đồ sộ see Optoma, BenQ, Viewsonic and other DLP projector manufacturers đồ sộ launch home page models. Only Sony is shipping true 4K projectors at the time of this publication. After Epson, in total number of home page projectors, comes Optoma, with 10 projectors.  Most companies have between 4 and 8.

JVC had only 3 different models, and two wins!  Two of their three are essentially identical except one has tighter quality control (best optics, etc.) for an extra $3000.  We reviewed that one (RS600U, but not the RS500U).  Note I said "had", make that four JVCs, as they just announced their high brightness, big bucks 4K projector đồ sộ bởi battle with the flagship Sony, and showing it at CEDIA, for a mere $35,000.  Hmm, you can get a basic Lexus for that kind of pocket change. Note, Sony and Epson, in particular, have different model numbers in the EU and other parts of the world, compared đồ sộ the US.  Not all models sold there, are sold here, and vice versa. LG only makes small solid state projectors. The one LG PF85U in last year's report picked up an award. This year we reviewed 3 LG's but only 1 was 1080p or higher, and therefore the only one included. All together close to twenty five (30+ with variations),  current model projectors  have been considered. Finally, here are our winners:
