How benchmarksutra rates projectors: maker-stated specs and Indian prices only, nothing guessed.
Quick Verdict
The benchmarksutra Projector Score rates 5 projectors sold in India. Every spec comes from the maker's own product page, and every price from an Indian retailer's listing. We never use test results from other sites, and we never fill a gap with a guess.
Researched, not hands-on tested. Scores use only the specifications on each maker's own product page (checked 14 November 2026) and prices at Indian retailers (checked 14 November 2026). We did not test these projectors ourselves. How the benchmarksutra Projector Score works.
What we rate
Brightness (ANSI or ISO lumens). Brightness the maker states in ANSI or ISO 21118 lumens (the two methods give similar numbers): 200 rates 0 and 2,000 or more rates 100. "LED lumens", "lux" or plain "lumens" figures are not counted, so the row is left out.
Native resolution. Native resolution the maker states (4K 100, 1080p 60, 720p 25). "4K supported" input is not native resolution.
Auto focus and keystone. Automatic focus and keystone correction named by the maker: yes 100; not named counts as no.
Built-in smart TV apps. Built-in streaming platform (Google TV, Android TV, Fire TV or the maker's own) named by the maker: yes 100; not named counts as no.
Speaker power. Built-in speaker output in watts. 20 W rates 100.
Price. Lowest price we found, against the cheapest projector in the list.
Buyer profiles
What we checked
We read each maker's own product or spec page for brightness in ANSI or ISO 21118 lumens, native resolution, light source, auto focus and keystone, built-in apps and speaker power. Retail listings are used only for the price. Brightness counts only when the maker states ANSI or ISO 21118 lumens: many budget projectors quote "LED lumens" or a plain lumens number that is not comparable, so that row is left out for them. A projector is ranked only if its maker states at least 4 of the 6 rated specs.
What we do not rate
Picture quality, contrast, colour accuracy, fan noise and input lag need tests. We do not run them and we do not use other sites' results.
