Projectors under £1,000

Under £1,000 is where projectors start to make sense for most rooms. Genuine 4K chips appear toward the top of the band, 120 hertz gaming becomes available, and brightness figures become reliable enough that a projector will hold a picture with a lamp on. This is also where the gap between a well-chosen projector and a badly chosen one is widest, because the specifications finally mean something and are still easy to misread. The two worth getting right are resolution, where a 4K input on a 1080p chip is still common, and brightness, where the unit matters more than the number.

Before you buy

Is this where 4K becomes worth it?

Toward the upper half of the band, yes. Below about £700 a genuinely 4K chip usually means money has come out of brightness or contrast to pay for it. Above that you can have both. On a screen under 100 inches a bright 1080p projector remains a defensible choice at any point in this range.

Should I spend the extra on short throw?

Only if your room makes you. Short throw solves a placement problem and costs a little picture quality per pound to do it. If you can put the projector at the back of the room or on the ceiling, a standard throw projector at the same price will generally look slightly better.

What is the single most common mistake in this range?

Buying for the headline specification and discovering the room will not take it. A projector that needs four metres in a room that offers under three is simply the wrong projector, however good it is. Measure first, then shortlist, which is what the room finder on the home page is for.
