I'm glad they showed up on my RUclips recommends. You're talking about scenarios that I haven't even considered. Here I was about to buy a projector for $89 on Amazon.
Amazon projectors are cheap chinese trash. Most have fake listings like the guy said. Anything under $500 bucks is low quality really. They still work but have the expectation of a low quality and not so bright image.
Will be waiting a few years for 4k laser projectors to drop to around 1200$. Can't justify paying 2-3x times more for now. Good simple and well edited vid. Thank you. PS I've been a long time projector fan... since about 2007. The main reason I want to switch to a LED/Laser projector is not just because the bulbs go out quickly, it's that the overall brightness slowly drops and it becomes all about compromises: "Is it worth opening the projector tonight?" "I need to go out 30 minutes, do I turn the projector off?" etc.
I would love to wait few more years but i'm already on a 11 year old projector dying to be upgraded. I suppose I can save up for the Epson LS11000 for another year and just get that, otherwise we'll be waiting forever.
@eplugplay8409 just take out a personal loan at ur bank. If u took a 12 month personal loan out the day you posted that comment u would have already paid it off by now. Hopefully u got something in the past year. Hopefully ur not still just waiting to upgrade. If u are still waiting to upgrade. It's OK to take a loan out for things u want. (If ur responsible and work). If u make it to 90 years old. U have 31,850 days to live ur life. 10,616 of those days u spend asleep. From the day ur born to the day u turn 90 u are awake for 21,233 days. Make em count. Quit waiting to enjoy the little things. Most people don't make it to 90 BTW. Those few 21,233 awake days can be cut down to just 17,690 awake days from day ur born to day u turn average life expecancy of 75
id rather just replace the bulb, what, every 2 years? By the the time you're onto your 3rd bulb, technology would have moved on and it's time to upgrade by then. The cost benefit of a Laser projector lasting 20000 horus is moot unless you plan of keeping it well after the technology has been superseded.
Totally agree with this sentiment. With my living room laser projector it's instant on and off and I don't even think about the hours of usage really. With my lamp projector in my theater I feel guilty if I turn it on for 30 minutes of gaming or whatever. And, yes, the lamp projectors subtly dim over time and in fact in my experience there is a steep drop off during the first 500 or so hours then it levels out for a few thousand hours where it very slowly dims. Wouldn't it be nice to not worry about that...
I am happy with my 4k dlp projector. However I love to watch your videos. They also helped me understand and choose projector when I was on market. Thanks Chris!
So glad I found your channel .. I am desperate to get a laser projector for our movie time ..but keep a oled for the daily .. gotta keep watching your channel till I can earn that $5k for the long throw laser projector .. but it sounds like I’ll need $10k to get it all installed , projector, screen , new speakers , new receiver , new connectors , new chord management system , wiring to panel etc.. so many factors to consider .. thanks for your excellent clear explanation. In get overwhelmed by some of the other channels .
Upgrading my cinema to 4K. Your videos are so helpful. I already have an optima non 4K lamp projector. Cost me £500 about 8 to 10 years ago. It’s way past the lamps half life but still going strong. The lamps used to be £147 but now they are only £30. Still not replaced it yet though. Think I will go for an 4K lamp projector after watching your video. Thank you.
Thanks Chris, a very helpful video! I'm looking at a Led projector, don't want to spend more than a couple hundred dollars & i won't be using it that often Thanks again from West Aus 🍻🇦🇺
I have the LG HU70LA. I'm very happy with it. picture is great, works well with my nvidia shield, it's quiet, plenty bright enough for my room... I'm a happy boy.
I've had a BenQ HT1070 projector for a few years now and love it. It's first lamp lasted 8500 hours and it is projecting onto my 12 foot wide(165 inch diagonal) wall and the image quality is great. It is also 3D capable for movies and gaming which is a nice bonus. Lamp only costs about 75 dollars to replace. I bought it new old stock for 500 dollars. Only complaints is it puts off quite a bit of heat. My roommates don't like to run the air conditioner so on summer nights I got to keep the window open to vent.
I was planning to buy laser projector until I saw this comparison. I have Epson 4k the same as what he had shown here which I really love the color, the blacks and it's bright also. If the only advantage of laser projector is long life, I will just keep my Epson. I am more on picture quality, I don't care about buying bulbs every few years. My Epson 4K has better picture quality and until this day every time I watch movie, last one was Maverick, I feel so amazed with it's brightness, clarity and color. Thank you Chris for this comparison, I almost wasted my hard earned money. Conclusion, I changed my mind.
Ultra short throw projectors have been around for more than a decade. I have an UST LG I'm looking to replace soon. Laser projectors are new to that game. I have used projectors for my home theatre since the 90s. Thanks for the info.
great video and explanation. I believe you when you say that laser has worse black levels but I don't understand why that would be the case. My understanding is that lasers scan almost like old school CRTs so I would think that the black areas would just be points where the laser would be turned off. Anyways I like your presentation style and I subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more of your content
First let me take the time to compliment you. I have watched a ton of videos on tons of things over the years, your content stands out amongst even the really good ones. Maybe you can help me, I have a golf sim in my garage and it’s mildly bright. What’s a good choice of projector on a budget?
One thing that irks me a little is that LASER like LED is an acronym LED standing for Light Emitting Diode and LASER standing for Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation so really they should both be all capital letters but language is weird like that so nobody does that. Anyway, awesome video man really informative!
As I faced this choice a few years ago I made the final decision with a bit different reasoning. First I'd been using my HDTV as my computer monitor as well as my home entertainment TV. I can say that the hours add up very fast in that case. After some analysis of my typical usage pattern I came up with a stark realization. If you exceed the 20,000 hours of a laser PJ you need to be another PJ but if you get a bulb based PJ you can simply replace the bulb. Lasers have/had a higher up front cost than a bulb based PJ so I calculated my amortized costs and bulb based for a 4K PJ won out. A Laser is a throw away product while a a bulb based PJ is not. Those several years ago when I bought my PJ, the UST lasers were still not prevalent (China direct sales only) so I ended up getting a Optimal UHD65 4K and haven't regretted my decision as even though I've replaced my bulb several times (every 4,000 hours) I'm not seeing the technology depreciation that may have occurred with a 20,000 hour throw away product. Plus the calculations between buying laser ~5K vs bulb ~2.3K CDN PJ, at the time, is still working in my favor. I've kept my eye out for compatible OEM bulb sales as have saved a lot over having to buy when desperate.
these were exactly my thoughts when i was choosing my last PJ. a lot of people dont realise(mostly since industry hides this fact) but even though laser lasts a lot longer than bulb - once laser goes out you have to buy whole new PJ while with bulb based you just change bulb. average laser advertised to last 20-30k hours and bulb are anywhere between 3k and 10k hours. ive finally settled on Acer V7850 (that uses same DLP chip as yours in fact - bigger .67 version with better resolution than most 4k DLP PJs that use .47 DLP - although both use lens shift). ive been using it as a regular TV and so far am over 20k hours over past 2.5 years, which means if it was laser i would be looking to buy whole new PJ already. ive tried compatible bulbs but finally settled on using only original(Philips) ones and you can buy brand new original bulbs for under 60 bucks on Ali. wish i could go with ultra short throw PJ but they max out around 150 inches screen while mine does 300 (but you need good distance between PJ and screen. btw if you havent - try new Metal anti-lights screens - they are amazing but you have to watch no more than 20 angle.
@@tldrinfographics5769 yes, plus the projectors themselves degrade over time. I have an older Epson Home Cinema 8100 LCD (I think that's the model) in my theater and the image now has a red line at the bottom of the screen. So even though I could buy another bulb and the brightness would be back to its original glory the projector itself has failed over time (I think that model was first introduced in 2009). 20k to 30k hours is probably what most of these projectors can do before things start to fail. I got probably 10 years out of that model before I had problems but obviously if it was used as a living room tv it would be more like 7 to 8 years for typical usage.
I bought a Optoma hd20 back in 2007 for $800. Today 2023 I have replaced the lamp 4 times @ $50. = $200. So I added total lamp hours to 24,000 hrs. So for me lamps are the way to go. Led & Laser projectors go out its done and you have to buy another new one. My Optoma still running strong 16 years !
is it ok to "stack" projectors? I was thinking 2 laser projectors with their screens overlapping to brighten it up or is that over kill and waste of money? it's a bright room
It's doable if you make a vertical stack mount for them. It is cheaper to buy two 4000lm projectors than one 6000lm projector. Keep in mind you don't double the light output doing this, you get 50% brighter with two projectors.
I have the LG HU85LA and struggle to get good skin tone color. It tends to be very warm and put a red tint to skin tones no matter what settings I select. Also, whites tend to be very washed out a lot of the times too. Still an excellent picture and brightness.
If you can get your hands on one you should review the New Epson LS11000/LS12000. It is a Regular Throw Laser Projector. I think its pretty much the 5050UB with a Laser instead of a Lamp. I ordered one but they are on Back order so i havent got it yet.
Hello Sir. Thank you for your videos. They are all very informative. 🤓👍 But can i use my laser projector Nebula Capsule 3, on a Floor Rising UST ALR screen 80" ? 🤔 (brands: vividstorm, or phoenix) Its for my attic space (it has no straigh up flat walls, only an inclined ceiling) 🥺 ** this area its quite dark already, so I was thinking of making a small home cinema space 🧛🧙♂💁♂
So I am looking at a LED unit. And I love a modest budget under $300 what is the best bang for the buck? I'm cool with sporting off brand, it's for the bedroom. Maybe 4hrs usage a week
Agreed. I'm most concerned about input lag when it comes to gaming performance; specifically why laser and LED have so much higher lag than lamp style overall.
I bought that LG LED version just recently, enjoy it thus far. Chris' earlier review of that model contributed to my decision. I'm building a fairly light controlled theater, but it's not going to be used continuously. I couldn't "yet" stomach the cost of the Laser. Maybe in the future. I didn't want to worry about the Lamp cost so that was also in my decision making. I guess over time I'll see if it was a good choice.
@@georgepopescu1327 It may not be worth it. I think the Led offer enough pluses to outweigh black levels. I am not sure about their lasers now, but in 5 or 10 years they should be much better. People usually do not worry about black levels until you hit the JVC range of projector perfection.
@@project25055 well for be Epson Ub6050 is the bare minimum for black levels and that projector has only around 5000:1 native contrast. Those LED DLP's have horrible contrast, under 1000:1, so no, I won't watch any serious movie on such a projector. But I have a dedicated dark room. I agree that most people don't care about image quality and only few knows how images are suppose to look in terms of both color accuracy and contrast. Also I have seen people with Sony and JVC high end projectors in rooms with white walls so... I hope next led projectors from LG and others will improve on contrast couse they have very good software inside but hardware wise they just don;t give a sh- iet about it.
People with bulb-based projectors need to know that most of them can buy the bare bulb at considerable less cost than the bulb assembly. For my JVC RS-540 the difference for me is almost $300 dollars less. That means I can buy ~3.7 bare bulbs vs one bulb assembly.
True my replacement bulb would have cost $150. The con is convincing people that they need to buy a whole new assembly with the bulb. I got a bare bulb from from China on Ebay for $30. I have been using it for over a year now with no less quality image than the old bulb.
Hi Chris. That's a short yet clear info video.. I would like to know if the laser in UST is harmful? How's it different from the famously dreaded " laser" Thanks
Great video...quick question if I'm looking at getting a ultra short throw would I need a clr or alr screen? As I got a window and a balcony door that let's in quite a bit of light

Led is just a night or low light projector. LG makes amazing LED projectors and I doubt you will miss the fomo of laser once prices start dropping.

@@georgepopescu1327 It may not be worth it. I think the Led offer enough pluses to outweigh black levels. I am not sure about their lasers now, but in 5 or 10 years they should be much better. People usually do not worry about black levels until you hit the JVC range of projector perfection.
@@project25055 well for be Epson Ub6050 is the bare minimum for black levels and that projector has only around 5000:1 native contrast. Those LED DLP's have horrible contrast, under 1000:1, so no, I won't watch any serious movie on such a projector. But I have a dedicated dark room. I agree that most people don't care about image quality and only few knows how images are suppose to look in terms of both color accuracy and contrast.
Also I have seen people with Sony and JVC high end projectors in rooms with white walls so...
I hope next led projectors from LG and others will improve on contrast couse they have very good software inside but hardware wise they just don;t give a sh- iet about it.
People with bulb-based projectors need to know that most of them can buy the bare bulb at considerable less cost than the bulb assembly. For my JVC RS-540 the difference for me is almost $300 dollars less. That means I can buy ~3.7 bare bulbs vs one bulb assembly.
Which bulb is it ? Where to buy. Thanks.
True my replacement bulb would have cost $150. The con is convincing people that they need to buy a whole new assembly with the bulb. I got a bare bulb from from China on Ebay for $30. I have been using it for over a year now with no less quality image than the old bulb.
what should I go for for low (under $50) budget, in a bright room
