10 Best 1080P Projectors
for September 2023

The Tkisko Native 1080P HD Projector is an attractive, compact, and versatile 1080p home theater projector that earns high marks for brightness, image quality, and value. It excels in every area, including image quality, brightness, and value. It has native 1080P resolution, a 50% zoom, and 360 ANSI lumens brightness. It handles 4K video via HDMI, and its built-in speakers are surprisingly good. It has 360 degree projection, and the 4D keystone correction is very handy. The wireless and wired mirror display feature allows you to watch your favorite movies on the big screen while lying in bed. The wireless projector display works with Android 5.0 and above, and it supports Bluetooth 4.0. Our only complaints are that it's louder than we'd like, and that using the built-in speaker means you can't play audio from your phone, tablet, or laptop. The wireless display feature also doesn't work with Windows.

The YABER V10 is our favorite projector in the $300-400 range, and it's the best projector we've tested in the $300 range as well. It's bright enough for average-sized rooms, and its 1080p resolution and 9500L brightness provide excellent image quality. The projector's built-in speaker and 5.1 stereo sound provide solid home theater performance, and it's much quieter than projectors with external speakers. The projector's 4-point keystone correction makes it easy to get the image perfectly aligned, and the digital zoom function gives more precise control over image size. The projector's Smart Engine technology makes navigating the menu and adjusting the image very easy, and the remote offers full keypad control. The remote control also has a built-in microphone for voice recording, and it supports iOS, Android, and Windows PCs. The projector is easy to install, and the carrying pouch and tripod mount make it portable and easy to travel with. The projector's 120,000-hour lamp life makes it an economical choice, and the 4-year warranty and lifetime technical support offer peace of mind.

The DBPOWER RD828 is a reasonably priced 1080p outdoor projector with powerful projection and connectivity options. It's the first projector we've seen with native 1080P resolution, and it's the only projector we've seen with native wifi screen sync technology. The projector's bright, colorful images shone brightly on our test screen. The projector's image fidelity is in some ways limited by the 720p resolution of the LCD panel, but it's a bit sharper than our other top pick, which also has a 720p LCD panel. The RD828's image quality isn't perfect, but it's good enough to play back movies from your laptop or store on a USB flash drive. The projector's image quality is not as good as that of our best pick's, but it's more versatile. In addition to being able to connect to your laptop via USB, the RD828 supports wireless screen sync, so it's compatible with both iOS and Android devices. The screen sync feature worked great, and it's easy to use. The projector's lens cover is a bit flimsy, but it's easily replaceable. The projector also supports USB audio, so you can use it to play audio from your smartphone or laptop, as well as Blu-ray discs. The remote isn't as easy to use as our best pick's, and it's a little hard to change the settings without taking your eyes off the screen. The projector's speakers aren't loud enough for comfortable listening, and they don't project sound as well as our best pick's.

If you're looking for a projector that's compact enough to travel with, has great image quality, and is reasonably priced, the Artlii Energon 2 is a great option. Its 4K resolution and 340 ANSI lumens brightness make it well suited for watching movies, but for presentations or slideshows, the projector's 250-inch display is big enough to display multiple slides at a time. The projector itself is compact and lightweight, and it's easy to mount it on the wall or ceiling and forget about it. The projector has built-in Bluetooth and 2.4G and 5G WiFi, which allows you to stream movies and videos directly from your smartphone, laptop, or desktop PC. The projector has a range of 5ft to 27ft, so you can easily install it in your back yard. The projector has a 1.9x zoom function, which allows you to get different perspectives in a picture. The projector has a bright and colorful picture. It comes with 2.4 and 5.0GHz WiFi adapters, so you can connect it to various devices with WiFi. The Artlii Energon 2 is one of the few 4K projectors we found that supports 4K resolution, and it provides a sharp, bright, and colorful picture. The projector's 250-inch display provides plenty of space for presentations. The projector has a 1.9x zoom function, which is a feature not found in many matched by any of our other picks. The projection size is 44 inches to 250 inches, meaning the projector can display movies, slideshows, and presentations at a variety of sizes. The projector has built-in stereo speakers, giving it a surround sound experience. The projector comes with a 1-year warranty.

The YABER V6 is one of our top picks this year, and it's the best projector we tested for movies. It delivers a bright, vivid image with fantastic color accuracy, and its 4K resolution is among the highest we've seen. The V6's 950 lumens brightness and 95-inch image throw make it great for viewing movies or videos on a big screen, and its built-in speakers are loud enough to fill a small room. The V6 has a number of features that are absent on comparable projectors, including a remote with an integrated battery, a 4-point keystone correction, a zoom function, and a wireless display function that lets you wirelessly stream content from your smartphone. The projector's connectivity options are limited, but it supports both iOS and Android devices, and it's easily upgradeable to 1080p via a USB connection. The V6's biggest shortcoming is its short projection distance, which makes it less suitable for large rooms or home theaters. The V6 also comes with an awkwardly made carry bag, so we recommend buying the optional carrying bag.

The WiMiUS Top K8 is a more portable and budget-friendly option than the D5 Plus, but it's harder to set up and lacks some of the features found on that model, such as a 360-degree projection ability and USB hard drive playback. It's also not as bright as the D5 Plus, and the image is a little softer. Its biggest drawback, however, is its lack of 4K video support. The WiMiUS K8 is an affordable and portable projector, but it's missing features that we normally see on more expensive models, such as 4K video support. While it's easy to set up and use, its image quality isn't as good as that of the D5 Plus. The WiMiUS K8 While it's easy to set up and use, its image quality isn't as good as that of the D5 Plus. The WiMiUS K8 is best used for watching movies, playing games, or projecting PowerPoint presentations.

The BenQ HT2050A 1080P projector delivers excellent image quality for an HD projector, and is a great choice for gamers who want an immersive gaming experience. The HT2050A is brighter and sharper than the similar Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 5405U, and its native contrast ratio of 1000:1 is much higher than the 700:1 of the Epson. The brightness, however, is not quite as bright as the 3,000-to-4,000 lumens of the Epson. The HT2050A is also slightly heavier than the Epson, and it's a bit harder to set up. The HT2050A's 16ms of input lag is better than most projectors, but it's the 1ms of the Epson that makes it a better choice for lag-sensitive games, such as first-person shooters. The BenQ also has a higher native resolution of 1,920 by 1,080, which is higher than the 1,280 by 800 resolution of the Epson, and while the Epson's 4,500 lumens is brighter than the BenQ's 2,200 lumens, it's more overkill for most home theaters. The BenQ's colors are a bit warm, so you'll have to adjust your settings to get accurate colors. The BenQ's built-in speakers are OK, but the 5405U's are louder and clearer.

The ONOAYO 5G WiFi Projector 9500L Full HD Native 1920×1080P Bluetooth Mini Projector, Support 4K &Zoom, Full Sealed Optical/LCD/LED/Home/Outdoor Movie Portable Projector for Phone,PC,PS4,TV Stick is a terrific value for the money, offering a lot of features in a small package. The small size and light construction make it perfect for home theaters, bedrooms, and small offices. The image quality is excellent, and for movies, the 5.1 surround sound is plenty loud enough to fill a small room. The AYO1's output is bright enough to display movies on a big screen, and the automatic keystone correction makes image distortion almost unnoticeable. The AYO1's Bluetooth connection works well, and it's compatible with most phones, including iPhones and Androids. For audio, the AYO1 has dual 8W speakers, and the sound quality is surprisingly good. The AYO1 also has two HDMI inputs, so you can connect your tablet, laptop, or game console to the projector instead of using your phone. We would have liked to have seen the AYO1 support HDMI-CEC, which, along with Bluetooth 5.1, would make it easier to control the device from compatible Android phones. The AYO1 also lacks a 3.5mm audio input, so you can't connect your television or headphones to the projector. Finally, the optics aren't perfect: The projector's focus slider is a little too sensitive, and with the AYO1's relatively small image, some vertical lines are visible. For the price, though, the AYO1 is a great projector, and it's an excellent value for anyone looking for a small, high-quality home movie theater.

The projector's battery life is a bit short, but the projector also has an auto shutoff feature, so you won't have to worry about losing power. The B509 is fairly expensive, but it's one of the best projectors in its class, and it's well worth the money.

The YABER Y21 is an excellent projector for watching movies, TV shows, sports, and playing games. It's easy to set up and has a wide range of settings, including keystone correction. The projector has 120 minutes of continuous projection, so the longest movie you're likely to play on it is three hours. The 4K and 2K resolutions ensure that movies look crisp, and the built-in speakers are loud enough for a small room, but you'll still need to invest in external speakers for a larger room.
