10 Best Interactive Projectors
for December 2023

The SMART Board 77" Interactive whiteboard with projector bundle for classroom is a durable, reliable, and high-quality interactive whiteboard. This bundle includes a 77" interactive whiteboard, a projector, a 3 year manufacturer's warranty, and access to SMART's SMART Notebook software. The SMART Board 77" is large, measuring 77" wide by 55" tall, but it's lightweight, weighing only about 30 pounds. It comes with 16 interactive pens, an eraser, and a mouse pad, which are stored in a drawer underneath the board. The SMART Board 77" connects to your computer via USB, and it connects wirelessly to your projector. The projector is built-in, so you don't have to buy a separate projector. The projector's brightness is adequate, but it's no brighter than our top pick, the Sony VPL-VW295ES. The 35-watt, built-in speaker is adequate, but it's no louder than the projectors in our top picks, the Sony VPL-VW295ES and the Envy 34A. The 4K projector can project an image up to 70" wide, and it's capable of reproducing videos in 4K Ultra HD, which can handle 4 times more detail than Full HD. The projector has a 3,600 lumens brightness rating, which is more than adequate for classroom presentations. The 3-year manufacturer's warranty is longer than the warranties on any of our other picks, to give you peace of mind. The SMART Board 77" bundle is $4,500, but it's cheaper than any other bundle that includes a 4K projector. The bundle includes SMART Board software and 16 interactive pens. It also includes access to SMART Notebook software, but this software isn't as good as Microsoft PowerPoint. SMART Board software only works with Windows computers.

The Special Pie Interactive Whiteboard System is easy to set up and use, and it has a very intuitive interface. The pen has a comfortable, rubberized grip that makes it easy to write and navigate, and it's responsive, accurate, and a pleasure to use. The F-35L supports long focus projectors, so you can use it with a standard projector or a long-focus projector, which is a must for classrooms. The projector mount is sturdy and lets you easily adjust the projector to your preferred position. (The mount is less sturdy than the mount on our pick, but it's fine for standard projectors, and it's much less expensive.) The projector displays images and text clearly and it's simple to project images from a PC, laptop, or smartphone. The cordless pen is quieter than our previous top pick's pen, and it's less prone to skipping or stopping. The F-35L's projector has a 100-watt bulb, so it's easy to get a very bright image. The projector's image is slightly smaller than our pick's screen and, at 120 inches, it's a little smaller than the 135-inch display on our pick. But the F-35L's screen is wider, so it fits more content on the screen at once, and it's more portable, so it's a great choice if you want a large screen that you can move around. The F-35L's screen is 60 inches wide, whereas our pick's screen is 45 inches wide, so the F-35L has 20% more content to fit on the screen at once. The F-35L's built-in speakers are loud, so it's a good choice for classrooms.

The ViewSonic PS750W 3300 Lumens WXGA HDMI Interactive Ultra Short Throw Projector is our favorite projector for classrooms, home theaters, and other large spaces. The ultra short throw lens projects the 700-pound projector from 1.11 feet to 115 inches, providing a large image with almost no shadows and no shadows. The PS750W provides bright, sharp images at 3300 lumens, and the extra brightness comes in handy when projecting in brightly lit rooms. The projector's 4K resolution provides sharp, detailed images, and its 8-watt speaker provides decent sound for a projector. The projector's interactive features, including a built-in camera and an interactive curtain module, make it great for interactive classrooms. The projector's auto-focus and zoom features make it easy to set up, and the bundled remote control makes it easy to control everything.

This interactive whiteboard and projector pairs well with our pick for the best overall interactive whiteboard, the SMART Board 680. The UF70W is smaller and lighter, and it's slightly cheaper than the 680, but otherwise the two are nearly identical. The UF70W has a wider screen, but at 77 inches it's bigger than the 680's 70-inch screen. Both boards have interactive pens that connect via Bluetooth, and the UF70W pen is smaller and lighter, making it more comfortable to hold for prolonged use. The UF70W and 680 have identical software, and both are easy to use and feature numerous options for customizing the user interface. The UF70W's size makes it a great choice for classrooms, but it's a little small for boardrooms or conference rooms. The larger 680 is a better choice for those scenarios, and it's also slightly cheaper. The UF70W also offers better zoom, and it has a higher resolution. However, the 680's 1080p display is sharper, and most other interactive whiteboards offer similar resolution.

The PJD8353S is the cheapest ultra short-throw projector we tested. It's also one of the best. It's compact and light enough to carry from room to room, and easy to set up. It's also easy to connect, using a standard HDMI input, and it's compatible with a wide range of devices, including Amazon FireTV, AppleTV, Google Chromecast, and Roku. The PJD8353S's image quality is its best asset, with bright, vivid images, good black levels, and sharp text. The projector is also bright enough for ambient lighting, so you don't need to invest in extra lamps. The only potential downside is the lack of a lens cover, which makes it difficult to clean the glass lens. The PJD8353S is ideal for small rooms, but it's about half as bright as the Editors' Choice Optoma GT1080, so it's a better fit for dorm rooms, classrooms, and offices.

The Epson BrightLink 475Wi Interactive WXGA 3LCD Projector with Mount is a solid choice for schools and businesses that need to project from a tabletop or wall. Setup is fast and easy, and the projector offers quick-corner correction so you can mount it at any angle. The BrightLink 475Wi offers a generous 100 inches of projection, but it's slightly short on lumens. The 3,200-lumen rating is well below the 3,500-lumen rating provided by some competing models. The 3LCD system also makes the BrightLink 475Wi's image look a little grainy, but colors are bright and the image is sharp. The projector is also easy to use for annotation, thanks to Epson's annotation feature, which lets you write on projected images using a pen. The 475Wi's built-in Wi-Fi lets you wirelessly project from an iPad, document camera, or Blu-ray player, and you can also connect an external USB memory drive. The 475Wi is also compatible with Epson's interactive projector pen, which lets users write, highlight, and draw on the projected image. However, the 475Wi is an expensive choice for a projector, especially considering that the 100-inch image size limits its portability, and the lack of HDMI inputs makes it less versatile than some competing models.

The Vibe 55-inch smart interactive whiteboard was our favorite pick for mixed- and single-person teams as well as larger organizations. Many people are already familiar with smartboards, but the Vibe has a number of features that make it stand out from the crowd. The 55-inch screen is large enough for teams to collaborate on the same canvas, and the touch screen allows multiple users to annotate and interact simultaneously. The stylus is responsive and feels great, and the board supports a number of standard drawing tools, including highlighter, eraser, and highlighter pen. The Wi-Fi networking is fast and reliable, and the included pen and eraser are easy to use. The board includes a number of interactive whiteboard apps, including an iOS app, but you can also use third-party apps, including Microsoft Office, Google Slides, Adobe Creative Cloud, and Dropbox. Overall, the Vibe is a well-designed, reliable, and flexible smartboard. However, if you're primarily looking for a board for a single-person team, our Editors' Choice pick, the 55-inch SMART Board EBL55-PUBX-BA, is a better choice.

The F405 projector is an inexpensive but capable projector that easily rivals the more expensive models we tested. It has a surprisingly bright image, good color performance, and almost no noise, even at high volume. The F405's biggest issue is that its image looks slightly washed out, especially when playing darker films. The projector's native resolution is 1080P, but the image looks better when it is set to 4K, which at 30fps, is playable on a 60-inch screen. Video playback is good, although F405 doesn't support 4K resolution, so you won't be able to watch 4K video. The projector also doesn't support 4K mirroring, so you can't use it to stream video from a mobile device. If you're looking for a projector for occasional use, the F405 is a great choice. But if you're planning to watch a lot of 4K movies, we'd recommend spending a little more to get a projector with 4K support.

The GooDee 2022 projector is a surprisingly powerful multimedia tool, and it's considerably less expensive than other comparable models. The projector's 5000-lumen brightness is bright and enough to make it feel bright even in relatively dark rooms, and it's bright enough for most outdoor uses, too. It's equipped with a 3.5mm audio jack, so you can connect external speakers or headphones, and it has 2 built-in 3W speakers that sound decent. The projector is also highly affordable, at less than $300, but it's more expensive than some alternatives, like the Toshiba HD205W. The GooDee 2022 projector's image quality is excellent, with a sharp, clear image, and it produces a rich, deep black. The projector is easy to set up and use, and it comes with everything you need to get started. It comes with a short HDMI cable and two power cables, a remote control, a user manual, and a carrying case. The projector's remote is large and simple to use, and it has buttons for power, volume, and input selection, as well as buttons for controls for the projector's built-in speakers. The GooDee 2022 projector comes with an additional 3-year warranty, giving you 5 years of worry-free ownership.

The Fangor 230" portable movie projector is a great choice for anyone looking for a large, portable projector that can project 1080p images. The Fangor 230" portable movie projector has a native resolution of 1280x720, which is high enough to display most high-definition content and is brighter than most of the projectors we tested. The Fangor 230" portable movie projector has a wide 178-degree viewing angle, which allows everyone in your living room to clearly see the screen. The Fangor 230" portable movie projector has a powerful 4600-lumen lamp, which is bright enough to read text from the screen in a dark room. The Fangor 230" portable movie projector has a variety of connection options, which include a HDMI, AV, VGA, SD card port, which allows you to use it with Laptop, PCs, Chrome Book, Tablets, MICRO SD Card, USB Flash Drive.
