Immersive Home Theater Experience
Most people who opt for using a projector instead of a standard television for their home entertainment system do so for one main reason: they want to replicate the feel of watching films in a theater as closely as possible. If you find yourself among those who want a good HD projector for this very reason, then you should seriously consider the ASAKUKI Avigator 455W Native 1080p Mini Projector. This compact HD projector will allow you to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a real home theater, giving you the full experience that simply isn't possible with a regular television of any size.
At the heart of this mini projector is the innovative ASK Engine, which delivers crisp image quality every time you use it. Featuring a full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, you get the benefit of a crystal clear image with smooth video playback and high color accuracy. The projector bulb has a brightness of 8500L, which is plenty enough for delivering an excellent image even in a room with a modest level of ambient light. Along with that, the contrast ratio of 10000:1 provides excellent color separation. Dual fans will keep the equipment from overheating even after prolonged use, so you won't have to worry about limiting the use time of the device.
Well-Rounded Package
The image quality of a projector isn't the only thing that one should consider. With this device, it includes plenty of other features that help make it a premium choice for your home entertainment center. For starters, the device includes built-in 5W surround sound speakers that provide instant high-quality audio to go with the superb visuals. This allows you to get the full enjoyment out of all of your favorite films without having to compromise on anything. In case the built-in speakers just aren't up to your standards, though, you can connect your own stereo system to provide the highest quality audio possible.
Connectivity is another big concern with any HD projector, and in this area this device really excels. Along with the array of ports, which includes 2 HDMI, 2 USB, and even standard AV ports, you also get built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, which allows for wireless connections with other devices for streaming content. For instance, you can connect your Android or iOS mobile devices for sharing content on the screen without having to worry about connecting any cables. Although this projector doesn't include smart functionality, you can connect any streaming media player to it without any difficulty. With the high-quality audio and video capabilities coupled with its extreme flexibility in use, this home projector is definitely worth serious consideration for your home entertainment needs.

One-Click Operation
As much as projectors are about specs first and foremost, the YABER Y31 makes an excellent first impression without even looking at its specs, which are pretty serious as well. No, what we primarily appreciate here is the one-click operation that enables automatic vertical correction, adjusting the brightness, and more. Sure, you can always rotate the keystone ± 50 degrees manually, but the one-click setup lets you restore that and adjust the zoom as low as -25%, which is convenient, to say the least. When the device's suspended from a ceiling, you can easily adjust the image using the remote without moving the device. Besides that, stretching the keystone correction option 50 degrees, you can project an ideally-aligned image from various surfaces without worrying as much about initial placement.
But, as practical as the controls on this projector are, what sells this product is its almost high-end specs. Stretching the brightness to 7,000 lumens, the model makes even rooms with noticeable ambient light suitable environments. You can turn on the lights, open the blinds, and the colors on the projected image will not look as washed-out as they usually do.
To add more, the contrast ratio on this device reaches 10,000:1, which is more than even some premium HD projectors are offering nowadays. With this contrast ratio, the model can produce detailed, layered shadows, deep blacks, and bright whites. Plus, a high contrast ratio adds depth and dimension to the projected visuals.
Intelligent Temperature Control Tech
Even budget projectors these days can project a decent-looking picture. Where these devices usually disappoint is audio. This is not what's happening here, though. In this case, we're dealing with solid 3-watt dual stereo speakers using an SRS sound system that offers a respectable auditory sense experience without relying upon external speakers.
What's also pretty impressive here is the double-sided cooling system that facilitates heat dissipation and makes sure that the housing remains cool to the touch. Using an intelligent temperature control tech that detects both the light source's and the mainboard's temperature and adjusts the fans' speed, the system is able to prevent overheating.
Long story short, the YABER Y31 will ensure stunning visuals and match them with equally impressive audio without inconveniencing you in any way, shape, or form and without being too demanding on the environment basis.

Big Screen Entertainment
With home theater enthusiasts, there is never a screen that is big enough to satisfy their demands. Although LCD and LED-based TVs have become cheaper and much more commonplace nowadays, there are still those who wish to not have their favorite films confined to a screen that is smaller than their wall. That is why HD projectors are so popular now, and one of the best ones out there is the DBPOWER Q6 Native 1080P Video Projector. This model provides users with a way to watch films and other content on a screen as large as their interior permits.
One of the first things you'll notice with the DBPOWER Q6 is that the color reproduction that it provides is fantastic, giving you natural colors that are vivid and bright, all without being either oversaturated or washed out. This comes thanks to the LTPS LCD engine that drives the display. On top of that, you also get crystal clear audio thanks to the built-in Hi-fi Stereo Sound system with 3W dual stereo speakers and an SRS sound system. This will be a welcome addition for those who don't already have their own home theater audio setup, although even if you do, this projector should easily support it thanks to the multitude of ports provided by the projector.
Vivid Images
We haven't even gotten to the best features of this HD projector yet. One thing that will draw many users to this model is the 8,000 lumens projection system, making this the brightest projector on our list. This means you can enjoy truly vivid images in virtually any room, even when the room is fairly well-lit, so you won't always have to be confined to darkness just to enjoy watching your favorite TV shows and movies. Along with this, a high dynamic contrast ratio of 10000:1 ensures that every color will be reflected in its natural glory without fading into the color next to it, adding to the total clarity of the picture that this projector provides.
For those who often connect a lot of devices to their main TV, this projector won't disappoint. You get the usual array of standard video inputs, including two HDMI ports, a VGA port, and even AV ports for older video input devices such as DVD players and older game consoles. Speaking of gaming, it should be noted that the HDMI connection will include a small amount of input lag, although this will only be noticeable by the few select gamers who have their inputs timed down to the millisecond. Most other gamers shouldn't notice a problem, especially with slower-paced games. Regardless, we are certain that anyone looking for the biggest screen possible will find this HD projector to be an excellent value.

Whether you manage an office and need a projector for a meeting room, or you just want to improve your own home theater setup, you simply can't go wrong with the Vamvo L6200 Native 1080P Video Projector. In fact, one of the hallmarks of this particular projector is that it has been made to use just about anywhere, even outdoors. So, you can easily set it up in your backyard or in a park if you want some outdoor movie magic. All you need is a screen or a solid white wall, a power outlet, and a video input source, and you'll be good to go. If you think that this kind of projector is right along the lines of what you're looking for, then keep reading to see what else it has to offer.
To start with, this model will delight you with a high-quality broadcast of any image and wide compatibility with various devices thanks in large part to its LCD engine coupled with a 5,000 lumens bulb. Colors will be bright and vivid, and the display resolution will be extremely sharp thanks to its Full HD 1080p output. In regard to its connectivity, you can connect virtually any type of video source, including multiple sources at once, thanks to its 2 HDMI ports, a VGA port, and even AV input. There are also two USB ports as well as a Micro SD card slot. What's more, the device is supplied in a handy zippered carrying case with a handle.
Silent and Energy Efficient
While all of the above-mentioned features definitely make this HD projector worth a look, there are actually a few more that just might put it over the top when compared to other models. The latest cooling system and high-quality materials from which the fan is made not only ensure long-lasting and stable operation of the device for long periods of time, but also ensure operation of the device is virtually silent. The energy-saving feature integrated into this unit reduces the energy consumption of the fixture and extends the lamp life up to 50,000 hours, preventing you from having to constantly maintain the device or swap out bulbs for the display lamp.
The device itself comes in a sleek housing that has a rather small footprint as well as being lightweight, which gives you the ability to carry it anywhere while also being able to fit it into tight spaces. This projector is also quite easy to use thanks to its simplified menus, which allow for fluid navigation without having to hunt for the settings that you're looking for. If there is anything to nitpick about this projector, it would be that its brightness doesn't quite reach that of many of its contemporaries. But this is a minor issue, especially for those who will be using it in a dark room. Overall, this projector offers a mix of features and convenience that is difficult to pass up.

Works With Any Video Source
An aspect that is often overlooked on HD projectors is the type of connectors that it offers. After all, a video projector can only be as good as the video source that is connected to it. While most HD projectors are well equipped in this regard, it is not uncommon to find that one thing that you need to use as a video source just can't be connected to one. With the DBPOWER RD821 HD Video Projector, though, you can consider this problem to be a thing of the past. The vast array of inputs offered by this machine means that you can connect just about any type of video source that you need, even including mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets.
To expound on this a bit, this HD projector comes with your usual variety of video inputs, including an HDMI port, VGA port, and AV ports. In addition, you also get several USB ports that can be used to read video files on USB drives, and even a Micro SD port if you keep video files on an SD card. What really sets this model apart from many others, though, is its inclusion of Wi-Fi connectivity, which allows you to stream video from your mobile device directly to the projector. Simply speaking, it just doesn't get easier than that when it comes to watching video directly from virtually any source.
Optical Zoom Included
The connectivity options mentioned above all make this projector a favorite for use in presentations, but it has other features that also add to its reputation in this department. For instance, this model has 50% -100% optical zoom, which gives more options for installing the projector and screen without worrying about losing image quality. On top of that, all images and video are displayed in vibrant colors, especially in a dark room. This is aided by the respectable 7,000 lumens bulb present in the unit, which is powerful enough to make the image presentable even in a room with lights.
There is plenty else here that makes this particular model a worthy purchase. For one, the unit itself comes in a compact size that not only makes it easy to place in a convenient location, but it also adds to its portability, meaning that you can take it with you wherever you go. In fact, this unit actually comes with a portable carrying case for this very purpose. You also get the peace of mind that comes from being ensured that all audio and video are synced together perfectly, meaning that you won't worry about any lag appearing between the audio and video. If there is anything to complain about, it would be the relatively low contrast that this model offers. But even so, we are sure that anyone who opts for this model will be well pleased with all aspects of its use.

What Is an HD Projector?
HD projectors are an integral part of state-of-the-art technologies, used not only in business but also at homes. These devices serve to project high-resolution images onto the screen. There are millions of ways to employ them in everyday life, but everything depends on the specifications. Hi-end models with HD image output can be used excellently as home theaters. What’s better than meeting up with your close friends and watching your favorite movies on a REALLY LARGE screen? Businesspersons, who often make presentations, can use these devices to show slides and videos to the audience.

You will obviously need a quality projector screen and we've got the review that will help you decide which one is the best for you! And for those who often make various presentations, we highly recommend making a point of the article dedicated to presentation remotes. And, of course, if you want to turn your home into a full-fledged cinema theater, check the best home theater projectors!
What Features to Compare
Type
The first and foremost thing to take into account while choosing the HD projector is its type. There exist two engine types (DLP and LCD) and each has pros and cons. The DLP technology projects the image with the help of silicon reflexions at numerous little mirrors. This technology provides quite a smooth image with high subpixel accuracy and without odd shadows, but the brightness is a bit lower than that of LCD models, and there is also a pixel limit. The LCD technology, in its turn, projects the image by flowing it through 3 colored panels (red, green, and blue). The color of the pixel is determined by the position of these panels. LCD projectors are more compact and show excellent brightness and color saturation. On the other hand, there can eventually appear dead pixels and the image can degenerate a little.
Output Image Features
The next thing to think of is the quality of the output image, like projector brightness. Models with low brightness can correctly function only in dark rooms as distinguished from those with the color brightness of 2000-3000 lumen and more. The aspect ratio will help understand the optimal projector application. If you are going to hold presentations, the best ratio will probably be 4:3, but if you are going to watch movies, then 16:9 will be a perfect choice. It's very important to pay attention to the resolution of the projector as well. The higher it is, the more accurate and clear the image will be. To have positive user experience while watching movies the resolution should be at least Full HD.
Special Projection Aspects
Consider the special aspects of the projection. The throw and the output image size can help you set the position of the device properly. Zoom and perspective correction tool are also important and allow setting more accurate image on the screen.
Device Connectivity
Do not forget to check the available ports and plugs, which determine the connection options. The more video inputs the projector has, the more devices you will be able to connect simultaneously. Audio outputs make it possible to add the audio.
Projector vs TV
TV sets these days are often gigantic, gigantic enough to make some people wonder whether a projector is even worth it and what's the point to one when you can just buy a nice flat-panel display instead. Well, it's not really as easy of a choice as one might think. Sure, TVs have their advantages but so do the projectors. So, let's delve a little deeper and find out which one of these technologies present the best bang for your buck.
Size
Size is one of the biggest factors that determines a quality movie experience. Back in the days, TVs simply couldn't hold a candle to projectors. Is it still the case? Well, yes and no. Sure, the gas has definitely shrunk a little. Nowadays, you can buy an 85-inch screen for less than 4 thousand bucks. That being said, a quality projector with the same screen size, great brightness, faithful color reproduction, and even 4K support will cost you somewhere around a thousand bucks, maybe even less than that. In other words, TVs are definitely getting there but the difference is still staggering. Most people can afford a projector capable of giving you over a hundred inches of screen real estate but a TV set with the same screen will cost you an arm and a leg.
Brightness
Now, just like size is the parameter where projectors have historically outperformed television sets, brightness is an area where TVs have always dominated their projecting counterparts. And, honestly, we're observing a very similar shift in power. Less than 10 years ago, your average family couldn't afford a projector capable of presenting a nice, bright, rich-in-color picture in a room with lots of ambient light. The most expensive projectors at the time were incapable of delivering on that front, giving you footage so washed out that it was hardly worth your time and attention.
Today, things are a little different. Some of the least expensive models employ over 3000 lumens. Rated brightness like that means you're able to enjoy rich, bright image in a well-lit area. Naturally, TVs are still better in this department. The cheapest TV sets often produce much higher luminance than mid-range projectors. Still, this isn't about winning, it is about satisfying the customer and, more often than not, a projector these days will be bright enough to satisfy your average customer and even some of the more demanding ones.
Contrast and Color Accuracy
Now, this is where the winner isn't quite as clear. On one hand, more often than not, TVs will give you deeper blacks. You'll likely be able to enjoy darker scenes in your favorite movies and series a lot more with a quality TV set.
But color accuracy is where your average projector gives you a much better bang for your buck. The issue with TV sets is that they require serious processing to produce realistic colors. Sure, high-end panels often come equipped a with color gamut wide enough to compete with budget and mid-range projectors. The ones that have the HDR (high dynamic range) imaging technology in their arsenal can definitely give projectors a run for their money.
That being said, you'll have to cough up a few thousand bucks to make that happen, whereas a completely average projector worth a few hundred bucks will be able to just as well produce realistic colors for you to enjoy.
