shift for easy accurate setup with a projection screen and has a pair of HDMI 2.1 ports that support 4K 120 HZ input although this projector thrives in a dark room in our review we found its picture to be still stunningly acceptable even without ideal conditions it's not exactly a cheap option but Epson also has a cheaper but nearly identical model the Epson s1000 which has a lower contrast ratio and less well-defined blacks number five LG sbeam Q LG's sbeam Q is an ultra compact 4K projector that emphasizes Style with an allmetal case and a carrying

without having to resort to a soundbar and while the l9g typically Shi with an included screen the company is now also selling the projector by itself at a reduced cost over the full projector plus screen configuration number three Samsung the premiere Samsung's the premiere is an undoubtedly pricey Ultra short throw projector option but it's got two things going for it that provide an advantage over other similar models the first is the company's Tien Smart TV interface which is the same one you'll find on the company's TV lineup and makes streaming gaming and content Discovery easy

the second is a powerful built-in sound system that's good enough for movies and will render an outboard Soundbar system unnecessary with its white glossy casing and gray fabric mesh covering the speakers the premiere will look good in your living room brightness is specked at 2700 lumens and the projector's three laser light engine can cover 106% of BT 2020 color space making it a powerful option for home theater in our Samsung the premiere review We admired its picture but also marveled at the sound which was close to a wall of sound complete with significant height and

width that seems to elevate everything to match the position of the onscreen pictures for an all-in-one projection system with great picture sound and smart TV capabilities the premiere offers up a lot for the price number two Ben Q X 300g the Ben QX 300g is mainly a gaming projector but it's also great for movies and at $1799 it's also affordable for a 4K projector while not technically a portable model the X300 G's smallish form factor it takes up less than a cubic foot of space makes it easy to move from room to room this DLP

projector's LED light engine is rated for 2,000 lumens of brightness it features the Android TV system for streaming from apps and has an HDMI 2.0 port with ER Key and a USBC port with display port support a somewhat rare feature for a projector a built-in 2.1 Channel speaker system delivers reasonably potent sound and there are manual adjustments for Focus zoom and Keystone the main reason why we selected the benx 300g as our best 4K projector for gaming is its ability to display 1,80 pixel images at a 240 HZ refresh rate number one Epson Epic Vision

Ultra ls800 not all projectors work equally well for daytime viewing as they do in a dark room but the Epson epic Vision Ultra ls800 is an exception this Ultra short throw model is bright 4,000 Lumen image retains its punch even with overhead lights on making it an excellent choice for viewing sports or for daytime gaming sessions this projector uses three LCD technology and a laser light engine streaming is made possible via the Android TV platform which as is usually the case with Android TV omits the Netflix app another Omission is Wi-Fi 6 the ls800 instead

uses the dated Wi-Fi 5 standard for streaming and there's no ethernet port for a wired connection epson's emphasis on brightness in the ls800 also means that colors aren't as robust as what you'll see on some other projectors though picture quality overall is is very good adding to the ls 800's appeal is a built-in Yamaha speaker system with a virtual surround mode that offers a strong semblance of surround while maintaining dialogue Clarity if you want a projector that can work equally well for daytime and nighttime viewing and also deliver powerful enough sound to fill a small

room the Epson epic Vision Ultra ls800 will be the perfect option I hope you like this video I have tried my best to provide accurate information about the products that are available on the market so that you can pick the correct product for your purpose if you have any questions or suggestions please comment down below also don't forget to subscribe to my channel thanks for watching [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh
