Native panel, pixel shift, or upscaling — three different things · review
A 4K UHD DLP projector that states its brightness in ANSI lumens at a price where most of the shelf stops doing so — and a specification sheet that reads like a data table rather than a sales page.
In brief
The honest 4K entry point: the resolution is real, the brightness is stated in a unit that can be compared, and the omissions are omissions rather than misdirection. Key figures: 4K UHD 3,840 × 2,160 · 4,000 ANSI lumens · 10,000:1 stated contrast · keystone · 3 W speaker. It is a European model with no Amazon.com offer on October 25, 2026. Our score: 7.2/10, specification-checked.
A single-chip DLP projector addressing 3,840 × 2,160, with a stated output of 4,000 ANSI lumens and a stated 10,000:1 contrast ratio. Connections are HDMI with HDCP and an audio output, and there is a 3 W speaker on board.
4,000 ANSI lumens. ANSI is a measured unit: nine points across the image, averaged. At this price a large part of the shelf quotes an unqualified “lumens” figure that is measured to nothing and can be an order of magnitude larger. A maker who publishes ANSI is telling you something about itself before you read the number.
The contrast figure is given as 10,000:1 without saying whether it is native — measured on one frame — or dynamic, produced by dimming the light source between scenes. That distinction decides how a dark scene looks, and it is not published here.
Optical lens shift. What is stated is keystone correction, which squares a tilted image by resampling it, at a cost in sharpness. In practice that means the machine has to sit where the geometry puts it, and the arithmetic — throw ratio multiplied by image width — is worth doing before ordering rather than after.
Three watts. It exists so the machine makes a noise on its own, and any external bar improves on it. That is not a criticism of this projector specifically; it is true of almost every projector in this catalog.
Not sold on Amazon.com when we checked on October 25, 2026. This is a model of the European catalog: we hold Amazon references for it in Europe only, so the button can only run a search on Amazon.com. Read it as a description of the design, and buy from the list below.

It is a genuinely bright figure for a home projector, and the room still decides. Ambient light lands on the screen and becomes the black level of the image, so the same machine looks excellent with the curtains closed and flat with them open. Image size matters as much: the same light spread over a larger area is dimmer everywhere.
The maker does not state optical lens shift; it states keystone correction, which squares a tilted image digitally by discarding pixels. That makes physical placement more important here than on a machine with real shift — measure the throw distance before ordering.
7.2/ 10
The honest 4K entry point: the resolution is real, the brightness is stated in a unit that can be compared, and the omissions are omissions rather than misdirection.
A first 4K projector in a room where the light can be controlled and the machine can sit where the throw ratio wants it.
Specifications: the manufacturer sheet and the matching Amazon product page. Prices and availability: Keepa. Every figure on this page names its source.
4K PRO-UHD · 3,000 lumens white AND color brightness · 40,000:1 stated contrast · 3LCD · optional Wi-Fi
A 3LCD projector that publishes white and color brightness as the same figure — a distinction single-chip machines rarely make, and one that decides how a saturated image actually looks.
Best for: A viewer who notices color rather than pixel count, and anyone bothered by the rainbow effect single-chip projectors can produce.

4K HDR · 3,000 ANSI lumens · Google TV built in
A 4K HDR projector with Google TV on board and a stated 3,000 ANSI lumens — the built-in system is the reason to choose it, and the reason to check licensing before buying.
Best for: Someone who wants one object rather than a projector plus a streaming stick, in a room where the light can be controlled.
≈ $1,399
