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.
The bottom line 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 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 catalogue.

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.
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.
≈ £1195 / 1225 €
4K PRO-UHD · 3 000 lumens white AND colour brightness · 40 000:1 stated contrast · 3LCD · optional Wi-Fi
A 3LCD projector that publishes white and colour 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 colour rather than pixel count, and anyone bothered by the rainbow effect single-chip projectors can produce.
≈ £959 / 937 €
High contrast ALR surface · motorised · 100 inch · 221 × 124 cm · 16:9
A high-contrast surface on a motorised roller — the ambient-light answer for a room that also has to give the wall back.
Best for: A living room with light that cannot be controlled, where the screen still has to disappear when the film ends.
≈ 1549 €
