Top 10 4K Projectors for Home Cinema (with Pros and Cons)

In today’s time, there are so many technological advancements coming up every day, you can never really get the true experience that modern technology has to offer with just a Full HD projector. It is a thing of the past now.

Now is the time for 4K projectors. They are the most cutting-edge pieces of technology out there that give you a better view of reality than your own eyes.

Now before starting with our list of projectors you should be aware of how to go on about choosing the best projector out there. Something like a roadmap.

Buying Guide:

Screen Size:

One of the most important things to consider. You don’t want a pea-size screen that will end up ruining your weekends. Try to go for as big of an option as available. We have carefully selected the best ones for you.

Throw Distance:

The distance from the projector to the screen is known as the throw distance of the projector. Many are designed to work at a short distance and many for long distances. Choose your product wisely.

Brightness:

All projects have a certain specified limit of brightness that they can generate. So that means that you can only expect some projector to work in a specific environment only. This quantity is measured in Lumens. The higher the brighter environment it can work in.

Contrast Ratio:

Most projectors work on a fixed resolution and that comes from the calculation of contrast ratio. It is this quantity that determines the image quality of your projector.

Now that you have got the basic idea behind how a projector can be judged let us now move on to the best 4k projectors that are out there in the home theater segment.
