really wish the projector space would blow up so we could see some much needed innovation and affordability
😮😮😮😮😮😮
But it won't because it's far less expensive and more practical to make televisions.
@@SoSaysYou facts
This is such a great video for beginner with clear, layman explanation who intended to buy a projector and learn which type is more suitable.
Great review, well explained, and he actually showed the cost of the projectors. This was the best review I’ve seen someone so. ✅
Thanks for making this video. You succinctly answered all my questions about the different projector options out there.
I'm glad they showed up on my CZcams recommends. You're talking about scenarios that I haven't even considered. Here I was about to buy a projector for $89 on Amazon.
Also should check if it’s native 1080p projector
This video was so thorough and well made. I learned a lot. Thank you.
I am happy with my 4k dlp projector. However I love to watch your videos. They also helped me understand and choose projector when I was on market. Thanks Chris!
Great review! No gimmicks, background muzak, just details and facts. The way the best reviews/comparisons/informationals should be. Thank you much!
Muzak??
Are you from the Maryland area?

Great breakdown mate. Excellent exposition as always. 💪💪
As always, I love all your reviews. You’re always very thorough and I learn something new every time. Thank you and keep up the great work bud.
another great video Chris, cheers mate learn something new everyday!
Am waiting this video
I have been asking
Thank you Chris for listening to us
Man, this is a great off the chain analysis. Helps me to make my decision. Thx!
So glad I found your channel .. I am desperate to get a laser projector for our movie time ..but keep a oled for the daily .. gotta keep watching your channel till I can earn that $5k for the long throw laser projector .. but it sounds like I’ll need $10k to get it all installed , projector, screen , new speakers , new receiver , new connectors , new chord management system , wiring to panel etc.. so many factors to consider .. thanks for your excellent clear explanation. In get overwhelmed by some of the other channels .
You are a good teacher Chris... Thanks a lot for this video!
Will be waiting a few years for 4k laser projectors to drop to around 1200$. Can't justify paying 2-3x times more for now. Good simple and well edited vid. Thank you.
PS I've been a long time projector fan... since about 2007. The main reason I want to switch to a LED/Laser projector is not just because the bulbs go out quickly, it's that the overall brightness slowly drops and it becomes all about compromises: "Is it worth opening the projector tonight?" "I need to go out 30 minutes, do I turn the projector off?" etc.
I would love to wait few more years but i'm already on a 11 year old projector dying to be upgraded. I suppose I can save up for the Epson LS11000 for another year and just get that, otherwise we'll be waiting forever.
@eplugplay8409 just take out a personal loan at ur bank. If u took a 12 month personal loan out the day you posted that comment u would have already paid it off by now. Hopefully u got something in the past year. Hopefully ur not still just waiting to upgrade. If u are still waiting to upgrade. It's OK to take a loan out for things u want. (If ur responsible and work). If u make it to 90 years old. U have 31,850 days to live ur life. 10,616 of those days u spend asleep. From the day ur born to the day u turn 90 u are awake for 21,233 days. Make em count. Quit waiting to enjoy the little things.
Most people don't make it to 90 BTW. Those few 21,233 awake days can be cut down to just 17,690 awake days from day ur born to day u turn average life expecancy of 75
one of the best projectors channel.. keep it up
Thank you for another excellent review.
Thanks, dude, very simply and straightforward.
Another great quality video! Thanks for posting!
Amazing and concise analysis of the three types of projectors.
Just want to say thank you! I’m considering a mini projector. You told me so much that I didn’t know 😅
Excellent presentation! Well spoken and clear information!
Brilliant video, very helpful and concise. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
Great insights. Thanks for putting this video together 🙌
Great info. No fluff. An actual recommendation! Huzzah!
ty for your original videos/channel and congratulations making it CM
Man, your content is great! So informative, and easy to understand! Congrats!
Excited for the Chroma Review 😄 greetings from Germany 👋🏻👋🏻
Thank you for your knowledgeable comparisons. God bless you.
Chris “don’t miss” Majestic!….another great video!, can’t wait for your Hisense L9G review. Just picked one up last week.
Spoiler alert: I'm super impressed
Wow you know your stuff. Thank you. 1st time buying projector
👍 Thanks for the info. Very valuable. Good demo!
U cover them all
Thank you for made me expert 😌
very well explained. super helpful for my needs with learning
great content! thank you so much for these reviews.
Upgrading my cinema to 4K. Your videos are so helpful. I already have an optima non 4K lamp projector. Cost me £500 about 8 to 10 years ago. It’s way past the lamps half life but still going strong. The lamps used to be £147 but now they are only £30. Still not replaced it yet though. Think I will go for an 4K lamp projector after watching your video. Thank you.
can u sell the old one to me
Well done 👑
Excactly the vdo I was lookin fer
great video and explanation. I believe you when you say that laser has worse black levels but I don't understand why that would be the case. My understanding is that lasers scan almost like old school CRTs so I would think that the black areas would just be points where the laser would be turned off. Anyways I like your presentation style and I subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more of your content
Very informative. Thank you!
Great educational video.. no nonsense intro and outro and other shit.. just simple plain facts packed for easy to understanding.. great job!!
Great insight man. Thanks!
I have the LG HU70LA. I'm very happy with it. picture is great, works well with my nvidia shield, it's quiet, plenty bright enough for my room... I'm a happy boy.
Great video as always
Ultra short throw projectors have been around for more than a decade. I have an UST LG I'm looking to replace soon. Laser projectors are new to that game. I have used projectors for my home theatre since the 90s. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for your superior updates your the man.
Excellent explanation !
Great insight on projectors
Great info, thanks!
Thank you for a great video!!
Good shit, all my questions answered ! Cheers !
Muy buena explicación, fue de gran ayuda. Gracias
Excellent. I'm learnding
Very good explanation.
Awesome explanation
Just discovered you. Awesome videos def worth a sub!
Nice comparison and very helpful. Can you also do a review about XGIMI's laser projector AURA?
Thanks for the info.
Thanks Chris, a very helpful video! I'm looking at a Led projector, don't want to spend more than a couple hundred dollars & i won't be using it that often
Thanks again from West Aus 🍻🇦🇺
Great information Chris.just what i needed:)
\
Thank you for your videos
You have a great speaking voice. Great articulation!
thanks for the insight
Great Content keep it up!
Great video...quick question if I'm looking at getting a ultra short throw would I need a clr or alr screen? As I got a window and a balcony door that let's in quite a bit of light
?
I have the LG HU85LA and struggle to get good skin tone color. It tends to be very warm and put a red tint to skin tones no matter what settings I select. Also, whites tend to be very washed out a lot of the times too. Still an excellent picture and brightness.
what do you think about the jmgo u2 pro or the jmgo s3? Am about to buy it id appreciate your opinion thanks
Thanks dear very informative.I also subscribed ur channel
Hi Chris,
Which one of the projectors would you recommend for displaying the image just on the plain white wall. So far I have nearly 10 years old benbq and it's time to upgrade but I'm in rental so can't mount the screen to the wall
Great information
Chris what recommendation would you have for a long throw projector for each of these types for an outdoor theater that throws the picture about 25 feet to a screen that is between 14 and 20 feet in width? Thanks for your video another great informational
I tried a cheap modern led projector and an old lamp Acer one. Get a lamp one. Night and day in terms of performance for a given price range.
Can you please recommend the best project or prohectors for outdoor large screen display?
Are you going to do a new best of year video for projectors anytime soon? I plan on buying a 4k
I've had a BenQ HT1070 projector for a few years now and love it. It's first lamp lasted 8500 hours and it is projecting onto my 12 foot wide(165 inch diagonal) wall and the image quality is great. It is also 3D capable for movies and gaming which is a nice bonus. Lamp only costs about 75 dollars to replace. I bought it new old stock for 500 dollars. Only complaints is it puts off quite a bit of heat. My roommates don't like to run the air conditioner so on summer nights I got to keep the window open to vent.
Hi, what was the price at that time?
@@trendyprojectors4743 I bought it new old stock for 500 dollars.
well explained chris
Hey I have a question do you know if it’s even possible to ultra short throw projectors to reach the 2:40.1 ratio or is that only standard throw projectors that do that cause I know the all do 16:9?
Hey Chris! What's the best/most suitable projectors for outdoor 24'/30' inflatable screens? Thank you!
Are they any different in how they work with rear projection?
I have a short throw projector, used it since well 2012 but not that often, lamp based. I project 104" 16:9 at around 1.5m distance and me and my parents installed projector and screen. At some point i need to replace that projector and I hope to be able to have more or less the same screen by then.
i have a long throw now and want a ultra short throw laser. how does the surround sound hook up? all my wires are to the back of the room.
Hi Chris! I just had this video popup on my channel. I have a question for you.
Right now I have a Vamvo L6200 budget projector, and quite frequently the mirrors inside have to be cleaned because of dirt showing up on the screen. I am looking at the Epson 1080 to replace the budget projector I have. Do you know if I would have to clean the mirrors inside like I have to on the Vamvo? Thank you, Jim
Hi Chris. That's a short yet clear info video.. I would like to know if the laser in UST is harmful? How's it different from the famously dreaded " laser"
Thanks
Is there a short throw(laser tv) that can be installed on ceiling? Do you recommend them?
Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏻
Do you have any videos on projecting on black screens for truer blacks?
Thanks for this simple breakdown. Great content as usually. I do have a question about screens. Will any ALR screen work with a short/ultra short throw screen? Because I’ve seen specific short throw labeled screens but only come as big as 120-135 maybe. So if I could get a regular ALR screen for my short throw it would work? Is there any thing i lose?
No. Ultra Short Throw projectors use CLR (Ceiling Light Rejecting) screens. ALR screens often reject light from the side while CLR screens specifically reject ambient light from above which is why they're more effective at rejecting light.
lol
@@ChrisMajestic Does the LG HU70LA have a replaceable LED lamp? I saw your video and decided to buy it, but I got it used. Usually used lamps mean you have to replace the bulb, however this is a nightmare scenario because as far as I know LED lamp replacements don't exist. This means I either just wasted $1400 or I can get LG to replace the lamp somehow?
It is possible that an ALR screen may work with a short/ultra short throw screen, but it is not guaranteed. If you are considering using an ALR screen with a short/ultra short throw screen, it is recommended that you consult with a professional to ensure compatibility.
hi chris can you give a review about how to connect a transmitter and receiver to a projector and a soundbar thank you.
Very helpful my friend but was going ask about eco friendliness ? Any side affects?
As I faced this choice a few years ago I made the final decision with a bit different reasoning. First I'd been using my HDTV as my computer monitor as well as my home entertainment TV. I can say that the hours add up very fast in that case.
After some analysis of my typical usage pattern I came up with a stark realization. If you exceed the 20,000 hours of a laser PJ you need to be another PJ but if you get a bulb based PJ you can simply replace the bulb. Lasers have/had a higher up front cost than a bulb based PJ so I calculated my amortized costs and bulb based for a 4K PJ won out. A Laser is a throw away product while a a bulb based PJ is not.
Those several years ago when I bought my PJ, the UST lasers were still not prevalent (China direct sales only) so I ended up getting a Optimal UHD65 4K and haven't regretted my decision as even though I've replaced my bulb several times (every 4,000 hours) I'm not seeing the technology depreciation that may have occurred with a 20,000 hour throw away product. Plus the calculations between buying laser ~5K vs bulb ~2.3K CDN PJ, at the time, is still working in my favor. I've kept my eye out for compatible OEM bulb sales as have saved a lot over having to buy when desperate.
these were exactly my thoughts when i was choosing my last PJ. a lot of people dont realise(mostly since industry hides this fact) but even though laser lasts a lot longer than bulb - once laser goes out you have to buy whole new PJ while with bulb based you just change bulb. average laser advertised to last 20-30k hours and bulb are anywhere between 3k and 10k hours. ive finally settled on Acer V7850 (that uses same DLP chip as yours in fact - bigger .67 version with better resolution than most 4k DLP PJs that use .47 DLP - although both use lens shift). ive been using it as a regular TV and so far am over 20k hours over past 2.5 years, which means if it was laser i would be looking to buy whole new PJ already. ive tried compatible bulbs but finally settled on using only original(Philips) ones and you can buy brand new original bulbs for under 60 bucks on Ali. wish i could go with ultra short throw PJ but they max out around 150 inches screen while mine does 300 (but you need good distance between PJ and screen. btw if you havent - try new Metal anti-lights screens - they are amazing but you have to watch no more than 20 angle.
But doesn’t 20000 hour equal to something like 7-8 years of use?
I bought that LG LED version just recently, enjoy it thus far. Chris' earlier review of that model contributed to my decision. I'm building a fairly light controlled theater, but it's not going to be used continuously. I couldn't "yet" stomach the cost of the Laser. Maybe in the future. I didn't want to worry about the Lamp cost so that was also in my decision making. I guess over time I'll see if it was a good choice.
Led is just a night or low light projector. LG makes amazing LED projectors and I doubt you will miss the fomo of laser once prices start dropping.
@@project25055 actually that laser from LG has a very low contrast with horrible black levels
@@georgepopescu1327 It may not be worth it. I think the Led offer enough pluses to outweigh black levels. I am not sure about their lasers now, but in 5 or 10 years they should be much better. People usually do not worry about black levels until you hit the JVC range of projector perfection.
@@project25055 well for be Epson Ub6050 is the bare minimum for black levels and that projector has only around 5000:1 native contrast. Those LED DLP's have horrible contrast, under 1000:1, so no, I won't watch any serious movie on such a projector. But I have a dedicated dark room. I agree that most people don't care about image quality and only few knows how images are suppose to look in terms of both color accuracy and contrast.
Also I have seen people with Sony and JVC high end projectors in rooms with white walls so...
I hope next led projectors from LG and others will improve on contrast couse they have very good software inside but hardware wise they just don;t give a sh- iet about it.
Hi . Thanks for the informative video, for living room can you pls suggest us models with following features:
(UST ceiling mount is must )
- 3D
- Eye protection
- Smart OS
- 4K HDR
What would you recommend for golf simulator, needing a brighter light source.
Liked and sub. Such a succinct video about a topic with so much garbage out there. Thank you!
Hey Chris, question for you. I have the Epson EX9200 Pro and I’m about due for a bulb replacement. I love the projector so I’m not going to get rid of it or anything but I was wondering if there is some sort of overhaul or upgrade lamp I could put in there? Not really sure how it all works and couldn’t find anything online. Maybe a bulb from a higher quality projector?
If you love your Epson EX9200 Pro projector, then you may want to consider upgrading the lamp to a higher quality one. You can usually find replacement lamps online or at your local electronics store. Generally, it is best to stick with the same brand of lamp when replacing it. But, if you want to try a different brand, make sure to do your research to be sure it is compatible with your projector model.
Yo Chris, love the videos man. I have a 10ft distance between wall to wall. What 4k projector is best for maximum picture size. I think a lens adjustment is going to be critical to ensure I can adjust for the wall size. I've used projector central but for confidence I think I need a good lens adjustment option. Thanks bro
100" Hisense trichrome laser projector is perfect, you can go bigger upto 120" screen but your eyes will get tired too quick looking left to right 😂
Is the LG HU70LA the best 4K LED projector right now? I like the long lamp life.
thanks for the inf bro.
Do you provide online consultation? I need consultation for purchasing a projector for my living room.
Hey Chris! Wondering what you're thoughts are on best portable projector for under $1500 is... Keep up the amazing work, very professional
I use a vivitek D952HD which is a boss projector that would work well for portability. It has dual HDMI inputs, native 1080p, DLP and 3600 lumens. The whole unit weighs around 3Kg
I have a question I have the epson 5050 but moved into house my ceiling is vaulted/square I have a good spot for mounting both projector n screen but wife want a motorized screen the distance is about 15 ft apart we ate looking for 100in screen or would we better either a 120in
