Projectors

Though you can spend a lot of time and money setting up a dedicated home theater space, smart projectors could mean you don't have to. The TK705 projectors are a great excuse not to bother, offering easy setup 4K visuals that are daytime bright.

Optoma has launched a new series of projectors under the Photon Life moniker, which is aimed at replacing popular lamp-based models in the company's line up. The series comprises three family members, including the flagship PK32 4K 4LED thrower.

Back in 2021, BenQ launched an odd-looking portable projector with a built-in 2.1-channel sound system. Now the company has updated the recipe for more defined visuals and more powerful audio output. But the funky ceiling-friendly design remains.

Following the success of its Nebula X1 outdoor projector, Soundcore has wrapped a Pro version in a big ol' wheeled outer skin and paired it with a 200-inch inflatable screen for what's being billed the "world's first mobile theater station."

Folks in the US looking for a smart projector are pretty much dependent on Google running the show, or have to plug in a streaming stick. Roku has now partnered with Aurzen for a wallet-friendly entertainment hub with Roku TV baked in.

Back in May we covered the China-only release of a lifestyle projector merged with a mood lamp. Now that idea has morphed into the brightest member of Epson's new Lifestudio mini projector family for US release, which also includes a 4K Pop model.

Epson has launched a new "stylish, beautifully crafted" UST projector for home cinema enthusiasts. The Lifestudio Grand EH-LS670 promises daytime bright 4K visuals at up to 120 inches, and immersive sound by Bose.

Earlier this year, BenQ announced the European launch of a 4LED Home Cinema projector. Now this W4100i 4LED DLP model is available for sale in the US, featuring 150-inch 4K visuals at up to 3,200 lumens plus a game-friendly 240-Hz mode.

XGIMI is getting down to business with its first model designed specifically for event spaces, professional installations and enterprise environments. With the dual-laser 4K Titan, the company is aiming to challenge the commercial status quo.

Earlier in the year we saw 8849 sharpen up the visuals for the built-in projector of its Tank 4 Pro rugged smartphone. Now Blackview is doing the same to its Active 12 Pro rugged tablet, but this time we're looking at Full HD image throws.

TCL twisted out a few sparse details for a Rubik's Cube-like portable projector back in January, followed by more tantalizing drip feeds. Now the PlayCube has officially launched, with full specs, pricing and a promo video.

Crowdfunding success story Valerion has revealed full details and pricing for the enhanced version of its VisionMaster Max 4K laser projector first shown at CES 2025, which can be optioned with interchangeable lenses and immersive surround sound.
