Best projector deals 2023: portable, ultra short-throw, Full HD, 4K

Projectors are the heart of an authentic home cinema setup, especially if you're trying to replicate the cinema part. However, the top-notch 4K beamers aren't cheap, and neither are their portable counterparts. It's a good job that we've rounded up some of the best projector deals on the internet then, meaning you can snag the best beamer without breaking the bank

But before you dive right into the best projector, here are a few things to bear in mind. Remember to check out the dimensions and how versatile any potential projector is with positioning before you buy. You don't want to take delivery of a new toy only to discover it's not suitable for your room. To help you, we've also written our own guide on how to set up your projector and get the best picture.

Pricier models will handle 4K content, giving you an incredibly lifelike picture uncovering greater detail, better contrast and more accurate colours. Make sure it has the relevant inputs that support your sources e.g HDMI for a games console or 4K Blu-ray player. Some projectors even include wi-fi and built-in video streaming for the ultimate in convenience.

Right, that's the basics covered. Here's our pick of the best projector deals.
