JVC DLA-NZ700 (2024)
The JVC DLA-NZ700 pairs its native-4K D-ILA laser engine (2300 lm) with the same streamlined I/O as the NZ500: two HDMI 2.1 inputs at 32Gbps (HDCP 2.3) accepting up to 4K60 with HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG. No 4K120, no 8K, no 3D — and no audio outputs, so sound routes through your AVR or soundbar…

JVC DLA-NZ9 (2022)
JVC’s flagship 8K-capable D-ILA laser projector is reference-grade hardware for serious home cinema rooms. Both HDMI inputs are full-bandwidth 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 ports that accept 8K/60p and 4K/120p with HDCP 2.3, and the new e-ShiftX pixel-shift engine displays that 8K signal on the native 4K D-ILA panels. Beyond the HDMI pair, the back panel is…

An ultra-short-throw triple laser projector producing 3,700 lumens with full DCI-P3 color coverage for a cinema-grade image from inches away.

LG CineBeam Q (2024)
Packed into a 3-pound body with a 360-degree rotating handle, this portable 4K projector runs webOS and delivers 500 ANSI lumens from a triple RGB laser light source. Connectivity is minimal but modern — a single HDMI 2.1 port with ARC and ALLM plus a USB-C input that accepts 4K@30Hz video. The USB-C port does…
-
Optoma UHD38 (2021)
A bright true-4K UHD gaming projector with two HDMI 2.0 inputs (HDCP 2.2) tuned for low-latency play. It keeps a legacy VGA (D-Sub 15) input that accepts RGB or component YPbPr, handy for older sources. Audio routes out through either a 3.5mm jack or an Optical S/PDIF output (2-channel), and there’s a 3.5mm audio input…
-
Optoma UHD55 (2022)
A 3,600-lumen 4K UHD home-theater and gaming projector with both HDMI 2.0b inputs capped at 4K@60Hz — gaming highlights include a 4ms response at 1080p@240Hz. Unlike many projectors, it offers genuine audio flexibility: a 3.5mm analog input, an optical TOSLINK (S/PDIF) output for soundbars, plus a legacy VGA input and RJ-45 for network control. Two…

Samsung The Freestyle 2nd Gen (2023)
Samsung’s second-generation portable FHD projector keeps its connectivity deliberately minimal. The only wired video input is a Micro HDMI (Type D) port, so connecting a console or PC requires a micro-HDMI adapter or cable (not included in the box). Power comes through a USB-C port using USB Power Delivery, which also lets a compatible 50W+…
-
Samsung The Premiere LSP9T (2020)
Samsung’s flagship ultra-short-throw triple-laser projector throws a 130-inch 4K HDR image from a few centimeters off the wall. Connectivity sits on the rear-facing panel: three HDMI 2.0 inputs (HDMI 1 carries eARC for lossless Atmos passthrough to a soundbar), one USB-A 2.0 for storage or powering a stick, optical TOSLINK out, Gigabit Ethernet plus Wi-Fi,…

Sony BRAVIA Projector 7 (VPL-XW5100ES) (2025)

HDR10 and HLG are supported (no Dolby Vision or HDR10+). There are no speakers or audio outputs — audio stays with…
-

HDR10+, Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhanced are all on board via Google TV. USB-A comes in both…
-
ViewSonic M1 Pro (2021)
An ultra-portable 720p LED projector with an integrated battery, designed around USB-C: one USB-C port is a DisplayPort Alt Mode video input that can project from and trickle-charge (5V/2A) a phone over a single cable, while a second USB-C is the 15V/3A DC power input for the projector itself. Wired HDMI is the older HDMI…
-

With 4,000 ANSI lumens and dual HDMI 2.0b inputs, this DLP projector handles bright rooms and multi-source setups with ease. A USB-C port lets you connect a Nintendo Switch or laptop directly without an adapter — a rare feature in this price range. The 240Hz refresh rate at 1080p and 4.2ms input lag make it…
-
ViewSonic X2-4K (2023)
A short-throw 4K LED smart projector aimed at gamers, offering 4K@60Hz over HDMI 2.0b plus fast 1080p@240Hz / 1440p@120Hz modes. Both HDMI inputs are 2.0b.

-

XGIMI’s second-generation 4K ultra-short-throw laser projector projects a 100-inch screen from less than 18 cm off the wall. Three rear HDMI 2.0 inputs handle 4K@60Hz with HDR10 and Dolby Vision; HDMI 3 returns lossless Atmos over eARC to a soundbar. Three USB-A 2.0 ports cover storage and dongle power, optical TOSLINK plus a 3.5mm headphone…
-
XGIMI Horizon Pro (2022)
A 4K LED home projector that covers the essentials for a living-room setup: two HDMI 2.0 inputs, one of which is eARC-enabled so you can send audio back to a soundbar over a single cable. Two USB-A 2.0 ports power dongles or play back media, and for audio out you get both an Optical TOSLINK…
-
XGIMI Horizon S Max (2024)
XGIMI’s Horizon S Max keeps ports to a minimum and leans on its built-in gimbal and Google TV instead: a single HDMI input (marketed as HDMI 2.1 for eARC, but running 18Gbps HDMI 2.0b-class bandwidth at 4K60) plus two USB-A 2.0 ports for media playback. There’s no Ethernet, no 3.5mm jack and no optical output…
-

Billed as the world’s first 4K long-throw home projector with Dolby Vision, this hybrid LED/laser unit pushes 2,200 ANSI lumens with rich color accuracy. Two HDMI 2.1 ports — one with eARC — handle modern consoles and media players at up to 4K@60Hz. A pair of USB-A ports and an optical audio output round out…
-
XGIMI MoGo 3 Pro (2024)
This battery-powered 1080p portable projector keeps its connections deliberately minimal: a single Micro HDMI port (ARC-capable) handles all wired video, so a laptop or console needs an HDMI-to-Micro-HDMI cable. The USB-C port is power-only — it accepts PD 3.0 input (so it runs off a USB-C power bank) but carries no video signal, a common…
