We have curated a few choices for 4K projectors available on Amazon based on their specification and features below.
Mi MIJIA Real 4K Laser Projection TV Home Theater 150 Inch
Ultra Short Throw Projectors utilise a very wide-angle lens to project images on a screen while being close to it, thereby eliminating shadows and the need for a ceiling mount. The Mi MIJIA Real 4k Laser Projector has a projection ratio of 0.233: 1, letting it project a massive 150-inch screen from a very short distance at a brightness of up to 5000 lumens. Apart from having an attractive and understated design that is sure to add some class to your home theatre, the projector also features some great hardware on the inside. Texas Instruments Customised digital light processing (DLP) technology promised to make the image quality lifelike and detail-rich. A contrast ratio of 3000:1 aims to make movies pop more on your screen while inbuilt Android 8.1 makes navigating the smart interface incredibly familiar and easy. For those looking for a UST projector that looks good and performs better, the Mi MIJIA Real 4k Laser projector is a great option.
BenQ TK800 4K UHD HDR Home Theater Projector
The BenQ TK800 delivers a very high-resolution display – 8.3 million individual pixels projectable up to a 200-inch screen, which should make watching movies a visual delight. Using single DMD DLD technology, the projector can provide over 92% coverage of the Rec.709 colour space, which makes each object you see on-screen more realistic. The light source can produce up to 3000 lumens and is rated to last for 4000 hours, which means that the projector is going to be usable for an extended period without worry about dimming. There is also a dedicated sports mode that aims to retain specific colours like skin tones and grass. At the same time, the Cinema Master Audio+2 technology makes it a more engaging experience akin to you being there at the stadium. If colour accuracy and pixel clarity are paramount to you, the BenQ TK800 makes for a very compelling choice.

With an optical zoom factor of 1.2x, the projector can project up to a humongous 300 inches from 38 feet away, all while maintaining 3840 x 2160 (4K) resolution. The DLP light source is rated at 2,200 lumens and has a lifespan of about 4000 hours. The chassis is relatively compact at 13.1 x 5.3 x 10.3 inches and weighs 4.2 kg, making it reasonably portable. For those who value the convenience a built-in speaker as well as the need for a large screen, the Viewsonic PX727 is worth a look.
