Top 5 Home Theater Projectors $1k - $3k
The $1,000 to $2,999 price bracket is the sweet spot for home theater projectors, with high-value 4K UHD models featuring HDR playback starting at around $1,500. Projectors at the higher end of this range will add things like a longer zoom lens or greater lens shift capability for better placement flexibility, and sometimes improved contrast and black level.
This list is taken from the Projector Central website. They have the top ten but we are only going through the top five. The Full List is available on our website.
