Prior to the XW5000ES, Sony’s entry-level SXRD 4K projectors – such as last year’s VW290ES (VW325ES in the US) – have relied on lamp rather than laser technology. Why? Because it’s the cheapest truly native 4K laser projector the home cinema world has ever seen. The VPL-XW5000ES is a watershed moment for not just Sony’s projection business but the home cinema world in general. Similarly, while some projectors do now feature built-in streaming platforms, they're often a bit patchy in terms of performance and app selection, so it's often worth keeping some cash aside for a dedicated streamer. We do often recommend that you budget for a speaker when shopping for a projector, as although many options here include on-board speakers, they are invariably pretty poor. They might not match up with the performance of dedicated home cinema projectors, but you're paying for the experience and versatility here – you can't beat an open air cinema experience under the starry night sky after all.

Then there are portable projectors, which are ideal of taking on the go or using outside to create a grab-and-go cinema experience. These can project a big, clear image onto a wall from a very short distance away, making them ideal for space saving set ups or for those wanting to avoid wall- or ceiling-mounting their projector. Within the mix are also some ultra short throw projectors.

Contrast is key here to ensure that black depth is the best it can be, although no projector will be able to live up to an OLED TV in this regard. Projectors can often struggle when it comes to colour, especially when it comes to projecting darker shades. While resolution is a pivotal aspect of the picture quality, it's almost equally important counterpart is colour.

As you'll notice, almost all of our top picks are either native 4K projectors, or achieve a 4K-like image through clever trickery for a higher picture quality. Ideally, this is where a 4K projector would be best for crisp and clear visuals. Ultimately, the goal with a projector is to encapsulate the cinematic feeling of a theatre at home, so this is where screen size and resolution are important.

However, they tend to be more expensive than DLP (Digital Light Processing) LED and LCD projectors, which in turn have their own benefits and caveats. Laser-based projectors are quick to reach optimal performance after booting up, they produce more accurate colours and have longer lifespans due to not requiring a bulb to power the picture. It's important to recognise the differences between projector lamp technologies, as different options give you different performance. Whether its budget, resolution, screen size or even the type of lamp, all of these factors can drastically alter the performance of a projector. There are a multitude of factors to consider when choosing the right projector to suit your needs. Why you can trust What Hi-Fi?

We've rounded up our favourite projectors, including Full HD and native 4K models, which also support HDR, and some short throw projectors too for those with smaller spaces. There's even a portable option that would make an excellent bring-along addition to a garden party for an outdoor cinema experience and an ultra-short throw model that's designed to replace your TV. With a home cinema setup, you can emulate the big screen buzz, just make sure you pick carefully, as finding the perfect projector isn't as straightforward as it sounds. Just recently we've had the likes of Avatar: The Way Of Water and Top Gun: Maverick that proved in an age of streaming, cinemas are still the place to be to witness these epic blockbusters. While you'll usually find us recommending the best TVs, some films really do deserve the big-screen experience.
