2024 Editor's ChoiceThe Hisense PX3-PRO is one of the best living room UST's we've tested, performing well for both movies and gaming, thanks in part to being the first RGB laser projector with the Designed for Xbox designation.
-
Conference Room
The Epson PowerLite 810E is a bright business and education UST laser projector capable of more than 5,000 ISO lumens. Add in some conferencing features, such as 21:9 support for Teams and a unique Face Brightening mode, and it's a good value, too.

The Nomvdic P2000 offers striking design and an attractive price for an RGB UST, and it performs well in most respects. However, out-of-box color inaccuracy and ineffective adjustments for HDR may take it out of contention for some buyers.

The Epson LS650 sets itself apart with its simplicity. While it lacks calibration controls and some features, such as Dolby Vision support and a wide color gamut, it has high brightness and ease of use that should work well for everyday TV watchers.

At $2,999, the JMGO U2 is the least expensive RGB triple-laser 4K UST projector currently available, but it's let down by inaccurate out-of-box color and the lack of controls to fix it.
-
Home Theater
2021 Highly RecommendedThe XGIMI Aura's $2,499 price tag makes it an attractive UST option. Even though its out-of-box image accuracy isn't great and its color and calibration controls are limited, with a few tweaks the Aura delivers a sharp, highly watchable picture.
