this video i'm going to be talking about the 5 best 4k laser smart tv projectors in 2021
my goal is to help save your time there are easily more than a hundred different projectors and they
all have these weird backs that no one really understands and some have really high specs and
they have very bad reviews why so i try my best to help save your time and to find you the right
projector for your needs and i know the protector world is pretty complex so i'm gonna try and
simplify all the terms in this video and hopefully by the end of this video you're gonna be smiling
you know so that's my hope by the way i've done tons and tons of research so i think by the end of
this video you'll be armed with satisfaction that you just found the right option for your needs
before we begin let's just clarify some things that people have misconceptions about so first
of all why buy a 4k laser projector over a lamp projector what's the benefit first of all laser
projectors have much better brightness and they also have much more sharpness and they have
much more color vibrancy so for an overall more immersive viewing experience more cinematic look
the laser projector is the way to go second of all you cut down on replacement costs of the lamps now
with lamp projectors every 5000 hours you're gonna have to replace the lamp with the laser projector
you get around 20 000 to 25 000 hours based on the projector so that's a lot of saved money in
the long run and it's a lot of save hassle and thinking third point is that they're much more
energy efficient now thanks to their higher energy efficiency they produce less heat and because they
produce less heat they don't need to have as big fans so you won't hear an annoying audible
fan noise as you will with the lamp projector because they stay cooler they don't need to
cool as much in the long run you will cut down on energy bills and will also cut down on the lamp
replacement build but please no laser projectors cost more than lamp projectors like much more but
they are very worth it because they're going to give you a cinematic experience yeah if you had to
ask me i would definitely recommend you stick with the laser projector because they are going to be
dominating the industry stream they are the more future proof option if you want a more cinematic
and cool experience those who are on a very tight budget now if you have a very tight budget i would
recommend you go for a lamp projector because you might get more features for a lower price but you
will have to pay more maintenance costs in the long run but it will definitely give you a better
overall projector if you don't have too much money to spend on a project okay what things should you
look out for on a project first of all if you're gonna be using this projector in a bright room
you're gonna be looking at the ansi lumen rating and you're also gonna be looking at the contrast
ratio you want these two values to be pretty high usually an ansi lumen above 3000 is going to be
good for a bright room experience and the contrast ratio of above 500 000 to 1 is going to be amazing
in bright rooms but also please note that some cheaper projectors they say that oh this is 6000
lumen projector this is a 6500 lumen protector but they don't say anti-lumen so the key word
is in the ansylum and you want to know how much projection hits a certain spot you don't want
to know how much light just comes out of the projector so try look for 3000 anti-lumens or
higher if you want to be using the projector in a bright or lit room sometimes you may you might get
away with two thousand five hundred and silence two if you've got a very high contrast ratio that
will also work too second of all make sure the projector says native 4k resolution or true 4k
resolution if the if the projector says supports 4k it means that it won't be playing at 4k so be
aware that manufacturers might try to trick you so if you go for a supports 4k projector you usually
they're going to be a 1080p projector or sometimes even a 720p projector but they support 4k meaning
you can put 4k in the projector but it's only going to show you 1080p the third point is try
find a projector with hdr10 this is gonna give you a much better overall experience and usually
they're gonna have higher contrast brighter whites darker black they're gonna give you a
much more immersive cinematic experience so that's definitely why you need to find a hdr10 projector
because it's gonna give you a cool amazing contrast for the movies and before i begin please

important feature of all you get hdr 10 plus if you don't know what that means that's the
industry standard these days for the best quality viewing experience possible and it means that

colorway you get a pretty wide color gamut which is a more future-like experience with a
vast amount of color as for audio it has 60 watt harman kardon speakers these speakers do sound
epic and they are pretty good for a projector however usually someone who spends this type of
money on projector should probably already have a surround sound system and if you do don't worry it
will connect fine and if you don't the sound of this projector is awesome connectivity wise the
vava gives you lots of options you get three hdmi ports a usb audio in and audio out ports
you get spdif port and it has all the ports to cover connecting your hard drive sound bars and

theater sine beam projector anyways this projector is definitely going to be the
best bang for your buck and it is impossible to find a better value laser projector than this
if you're in doubt and want to spend as little as possible look no further because this projector is
the way to go okay what makes this projector so amazing the fact that it cost 1 900 and you're
going to get all the specs i'm going to tell you about so you get 4k ultra hd native resolution
you get 2 500 lumens of brightness and you get a 150 000 to 1 contrast ratio these two numbers and
given the fact that it is the laser projector means that it won't do well in amazingly
lit rooms but it will do well in medium lit rooms too dark rooms of course it will do amazing those
and this is an hdr10 ready projector and you can go up to 150 inches in screen size the
noise level of this projector is only 30 decibels which is pretty quiet for a projector you get 20
000 hours of light source life and it is a smart tv which is ready with wireless streaming of tv
netflix youtube and many other sources so whatever you want to watch you can watch on
this thing using wi-fi and the best thing of all this thing is extremely portable so if you're up
for portability you like a projector that you can take from one room to another you can take it with
your friends this is the way to go it is built in with the handle and it has a very great shape for
ease of transport and you can easily carry it anywhere and you can put it up anywhere you can
stand it up you can light down you can hang it from a wall whatever you want okay so the cool
thing about this projector is it has an eight segment rgby rgb y color wheel with virtually no
rainbow artifacts the vava projector had a three color wheel segment this one has an eight segment
so this is going to give you way better color performance than the average projector at this
price and these speakers they are only seven watts but they will still give you a much better
than average experience and they do sound superb compared to most projectors out there but at the
same time only 7 watts the speaker so don't expect too much it won't be too loud and this thing is lg
smart tv enabled which is where you get all your favorite lg smart tv features the lg hu atk a
projector is one of the most exciting projectors ever to be seen and one of the most unique and
innovative 4k projectors to hit the market you can enjoy movies but if you do want the best projector
out there for a bright or welded room then you're going to have to weep with number three
so coming up in number three this is the best high-end 4k ultra short throw laser projector
it's going to be the lg hu85la ultra short throw 4k laser smart homes user sign beam projector okay
so what makes this one so special why does it cost around five thousand dollars well this projector
has all the tricks up its sleeve so i'll tell you why this thing costs so much first of all you can
project a 120 inch screen from just 7.2 inches away from the wall and it has lg web os light
which means that using the included magic remote on this lg sign beam projector you get to access
lg's web os smart tv operating system so you can get to watch all your favorite content streaming
apps like netflix amazon prime and voodoo hence the smart tv name tag what else it has built in
alexa and google assistant and it also features lg thin cute ai technology which allows you to
control the compatible smart home devices with voice command just as you would use an alexa or
google assistant speaker so the projector itself becomes an alexa google assistant and you also
get bluetooth connectivity so you can connect the phone to the projector and you can stream
your favorite music using the projector speakers as for connectivity you can use miracast for
versatile connectivity to stream from your phone it is hdr10 ready it has room motion technology
which is the type of video person that makes all videos look and feel more more fluid it is much
better than dlp projectors or laser and dual laser projectors this features a three channel
laser which is instead of a color wheel that is used on most other cheaper laser projectors the
three laser feature is going to give you ultimate color accuracy and incredible white color coverage
ensuring incredible color production up to 12-bit color and you also get a warping feature to make
sure the screen is just perfect and of course you get some incredibly powerful built-in speakers
that allow for a cinematic experience and i forgot to tell you the most important part
which is it has two thousand seven hundred and six lumens which is pretty good but where it screams
awesome is the contrast ratio two million to one contrast ratio which is super as for connectivity
it can be connected wireless to bluetooth speakers via bluetooth and it has a built-in digital tv
tuner and features an f-type 75 ohm coax cable at the back which you can connect to your cable set
top box or to your external antenna and you get two hdmi ports and one of these has hdmi arc for
passing lossless audio signals such as dolby atoms and you also get two usb ports you get a micro usb
c port so you can hook your computer or smartphone to it and you also get an rg45 lan port if you
prefer using a cable rather than the wi-fi on the project and you can also connect your
surround sound system or your sound bar using the optical audio digital port so overall super
projector in every way sure it's costly but it's worth every penny for those who want a projector
that can dominate all aspects of a great viewing experience and for those who want a projector
for bright setting this is perfect for that and as for noise don't worry noise levels are below 30 db
coming up number two we have the optoma cinema x p2 projector this one is priced at around 3200
this one is gonna be the best middle range 4k smart tv ultra short throw projector on the list
okay so let's go it has three thousand ansi lumens so it's perfect for bright room it has an epic two
million to one contrast ratio just like the lg one and it has 30 000 hours of laser life this is also
voice assistant compatible so you get alexa and google assistant ready for intuitive voice control
for controller projector and you get six segments of the color wheel which will also result in a
pretty great cinematic experience with cinematic color so you get 10 bit colors not 12-bit like
the last projector but the six color wheel is still going to give you amazing results it also
allows for a quick setup using optoma's smart fit app you also have hdr 10 you have 4k native
resolution you have a 90 to 120 inch screen size with the 120 inch at only 15 inches away so you
will get a very wide coverage of the dc ip3 color space allowing for the most vibrant and colorful
viewing experience and you get a premium sound bar built into it which has an integrated new force
sound bar which with dolby 2 including two full speakers and two woofers which allows for a very
crisp sound with superior cinematic appearance it is not common to have subwoofers in the projector
itself and these are usually put in in a speaker to enhance the base of a speaker and it's a very
quiet projector probably one of the most quiet ones on this list at only 24 decibels of sound
and for watching movies don't worry you can watch anything you want using the optoma marketplace app
like youtube netflix cnbc and more and you also get a bluetooth smart home remote and
air mouse as for connectivity you get 2 hdmi 2 port you get an hdmi with an ati arc for losses
audio you get a usb slot you get an optical out for audio you get an audio out and you also get
an rj45 plug if you want to use your ethernet directly through a cable instead of through the
wifi so this is an amazing projector well suited for being a home theater or even for some gaming
coming up number one we have the bomaker 4k ultra hd laser tv projector and it's an ultra
short throw projector this is the best bang for your buck feature packed 4k ultra short
throw projector out there and it is the underdog projector too so coming from bow maker rather than
samsung or lg or optoma or big brand bow maker is a new underdog in the projection market but why
is it on the list because this thing has higher specs than almost any projector on this list at
a very low price which is amazing right and if you don't want to spend all your savings then this can
be the way to go now don't get me wrong if i call this thing cheap it's not gonna be cheap it's a 4k
laser project but it's cheap compared to what's out there so this thing sells at around 2500
but what makes this thing great okay so you get the normal 2500 ansi lumens which makes
it a good option for bright rooms and it's ultra short throw so you can project a 120 inch image
from only 11 inches away it also has polaris which is powered by memc which makes the motion
clear and smooth and reduces input lag which allows for an enhanced gaming experience if you
want to play games on this thing it also has 4k native resolution it has a dmd chip it has
a digital micro mirror device which allows for a bright true 4k display and here's the best feature
that this thing has which is incredible for its price it uses a tree laser rgb laser this feature
is usually found in projectors that cost five thousand dollars but this thing costs two thousand
five hundred so that's why this is number one because unlike most laser projectors with that
use color wheel this one is actually using three separate rgb lasers which allow for an extremely
wide color coverage and ensuring extremely color accurate content with color reproduction up to
12 bit colors it is also hdr 10 enabled and i can keep talking about how many features
this projector has all day but to keep things simple this has all the bangs and whistles for
half the price of the big brand name projector because you are paying for the projector and not
the brand and that's what is to be loved about underdog brand now you might be wondering what
about connectivity it ensures the connectivity that you need 2 hdmis usb rca inputs bluetooth
built-in wi-fi or you can also use an ethernet input if you prefer that over wi-fi and not only
can you enjoy your favorite movies and tv shows through the wi-fi like youtube netflix so you
seriously can't go wrong with this projector made from bow maker and what makes this an even better
option is the fact that they are still small which means they care for every single customer they
get and they will treat you like loyalty unlike bigger brands who couldn't care less about their
customers you're gonna get top-notch customer support with 24 7 worry free customer service
oh and the cool thing is this is also suitable for gamers it has a pretty low input lag and
