A 65in TV might offer an awesome viewing experience but for pure theatre, there's nothing quite like the image served up by a projector. With massive picture sizes and whisper-quiet operation, these projectors kick sand in the faces of so-called big-screen TVs.

This Sony is a stunner, with natural colours, a beautifully detailed image and a simple set up. It won our Product of the Year 2016. If you want a better model, it'll cost you a lot more.

No 4K might turn some people off, but those looking for a compelling, cinematic picture for their Blu-ray collection will be more than happy with this Sony.
Sony VPL-VW520ES
It's certainly not cheap, but one viewing session and you'll be convinced. With HDR and native 4K playback, the results speak for themselves. A worthy 2016 Award-winner.
Philips Screeneo 2.0
If space is at a premium, this portable Philips model is for you. It beams a 120in image from just inches away from a wall, and it supports Full HD 1080p. The picture is pretty decent too, with good contrast and solid black levels.
