How to read these scores

Each projector gets a rating out of 100 on each row of the benchmarksutra Projector Score, and a buyer profile weights the rows. Tiers: S 90+, A 80–89, B 70–79, C 60–69, D below 60. Where a maker page does not state a spec, we leave that row out and re-spread the weights; we never guess. Read the full method.

Prices change frequently. The prices on this page were correct when we wrote and checked it, but they may have changed by the time you read this. Check the current price on the retailer's page before you buy.

We may earn a commission from some links on this page. It never affects our scores.
