Every year, we hold a competition to determine the best home theater projectors in each price range. The
2016 Best Home Theater Projectors Report is an in-depth written resource analyzing all the 1080p and 4K home theater projectors we have reviewed in the past two are three years that are still current models. From those contenders, we select Best in Class award winners.
This video serves to summarize and provide highlights of the written report.
The 2016 Best Home Theater Projectors Report
This year’s list of winners for for our Home Theater Projectors Report are organized into five “classes,” that is, price range/categories, plus a Best of the Best! As such, we ended up with more awards than usual. Go figure!
A few key observations about this year's crop of projectors:
- Epson, easily won the most awards, but not surprising since they have, by far, the most projectors in their line-up.
- Only Sony is shipping true 4K projectors at the time of this publication.
- JVC had only 3 different models, and two won! Two of their three are essentially identical except one has tighter quality control (best optics, etc.) for an extra $3000.
- All together, close to 25 (30+ with variations) current model projectors have been considered.
- We know there are some other good ones out there (mostly over $10,000, and especially over $30,000) that we never get a chance to review.

Videos that are part of the Projector Reviews TV channel are created by Projector Reviews Inc. If we review a projector and it wins one of our awards, it becomes eligible for a video summary. Of course, we can only do a limited number of these videos. In some cases, we will choose a projector review to do a video of. In other cases, a request may come from the manufacturer. As we do with the rest of the content on our website, we offer manufacturers Permissions.
With these paid Permissions, manufacturers can post these videos on their own websites, pass them out to their dealers, and use them for other promotional purposes including trade shows and point-of-sale displays in retail stores. These videos are very short versions of the full review. In just a few minutes worth of video we can't begin to capture all the information in the review, so we call this a video summary.
If this video is positive and enthusiastic about the projector, is simply because the review itself was positive and enthusiastic. We try to make the videos more fun, a bit less dry, with far less technical detail. Enjoy, but also visit the full review for more depth, even the settings that work best. Thanks! -art
