Sony has launched a pair of pricey 4K home theater projectors packing a modified flavor of the XR video processing technology found in its Bravia TVs for the promise of "professional-grade visual experiences inside the home."

Following the success of 2021's award-winning Theater ultra-short-throw laser projector, China's Formovie has added a cheaper model called the Cinema Edge. This brighter family member comes packing Google TV with Netflix cooked in.

Though many laser projectors that promise quality lights-on viewing might leave viewers feeling a little let down, Epson's new Q-Series could just get you out of the dark places and into the light – with the top of the range outputting 10,000 lumens.

ViewSonic is aiming for your home cinema or games room with what's billed as the "world's first ceiling-mounted home projector with RGB laser technology." The LX700-4K RGB can output 5,200 RGB laser lumens and throw color-rich visuals up to 300 inches.

Preparing for the rise of 8K movies in the home cinema, JVC Kenwood has announced new additions to its high-end D-ILA laser projector family, with the new models able to input and display 8K/60p visuals with boosted brightness and contrast.

Back in January, Hisense rolled into CES with an 8K laser projector called the 120LX plus a bunch of 4K ultra-short-throwers. Now the PX2-Pro and PL1 laser cinema models have gone up for sale, so let's have a closer look.

Optoma released its first UST laser projector in 2019, while also integrating a NuForce soundbar. The successful formula was updated the following year, and now the company has added two new flavors to the range: the CinemaX D2 and CinemaX D2 Smart.

Last year, Leica partnered with a Chinese home entertainment hardware company to launch a FHD UST projector named the O1 Pro. Now the premium camera optics veteran has launched its own model at IFA 2022, the 4K Cine 1 Laser TV.

Sony is treating home theater buffs to three new 4K laser projectors, all featuring what's claimed to be the world's smallest SXRD imaging chip as well as a laser light source and a high-end picture processor.

Last month, Epson made an impressive bid for home theaters with the launch of its most advanced laser projector to date. Now tech from that LS12000 flagship has trickled down into a cheaper 4K HDR model aimed at movie lovers and big-screen gamers.

Epson has introduced what's billed as its most advanced home theater projector to date. The LS12000 combines a new light source with processing algorithms and some nifty pixel-shifting technology to deliver a "zero compromise" 4K image on the wall.

ViewSonic is set to light up the home theater with X1 standard-throw and X2 short-throw LED smart projectors. Both models have a native Full HD resolution, high LED brightness, built-in wireless smarts and integrated speakers.
