Buying advice

When choosing a 4K projector, consider your room's lighting (brightness in ANSI lumens), throw distance (standard vs ultra-short), and whether you need smart features or low input lag for gaming. Also factor in the cost of a screen and installation. For best image quality, look for native 4K (not pixel-shifted) and laser light sources.
