Lamp vs LED vs Laser Projectors - What's The Difference? 

really wish the projector space would blow up so we could see some much needed innovation and affordability

This is such a great video for beginner with clear, layman explanation who intended to buy a projector and learn which type is more suitable.

Thanks for making this video. You succinctly answered all my questions about the different projector options out there.

I'm glad they showed up on my RU-vid recommends. You're talking about scenarios that I haven't even considered. Here I was about to buy a projector for $89 on Amazon.

This video was so thorough and well made. I learned a lot. Thank you.

Great review, well explained, and he actually showed the cost of the projectors. This was the best review I’ve seen someone so. ✅

Great review! No gimmicks, background muzak, just details and facts. The way the best reviews/comparisons/informationals should be. Thank you much!

As always, I love all your reviews. You’re always very thorough and I learn something new every time. Thank you and keep up the great work bud.

Great breakdown mate. Excellent exposition as always. 💪💪

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!

another great video Chris, cheers mate learn something new everyday!

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 .

Man, this is a great off the chain analysis. Helps me to make my decision. Thx!

You are a good teacher Chris... Thanks a lot for this video!

Brilliant video, very helpful and concise. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks, dude, very simply and straightforward.

Thank you for another excellent review.

Amazing and concise analysis of the three types of projectors.

Excellent presentation! Well spoken and clear information!

Am waiting this video I have been asking Thank you Chris for listening to us

one of the best projectors channel.. keep it up

Just want to say thank you! I’m considering a mini projector. You told me so much that I didn’t know 😅

Another great quality video! Thanks for posting!

Man, your content is great! So informative, and easy to understand! Congrats!

Great insights. Thanks for putting this video together 🙌

ty for your original videos/channel and congratulations making it CM

very well explained. super helpful for my needs with learning

Chris “don’t miss” Majestic!….another great video!, can’t wait for your Hisense L9G review. Just picked one up last week.

👍 Thanks for the info. Very valuable. Good demo!

Thank you for your knowledgeable comparisons. God bless you.

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.

great content! thank you so much for these reviews.

Wow you know your stuff. Thank you. 1st time buying projector

Great info. No fluff. An actual recommendation! Huzzah!

U cover them all Thank you for made me expert 😌

Very informative. Thank you!

Excited for the Chroma Review 😄 greetings from Germany 👋🏻👋🏻

Well done 👑 Excactly the vdo I was lookin fer

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.

Excellent. I'm learnding

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.

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

Great insight man. Thanks!

Awesome explanation

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.

Great information Chris.just what i needed:) \

Great Content keep it up!

You have a great speaking voice. Great articulation!

thanks for the insight

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 🍻🇦🇺

Thank you for your videos

Thanks for the info.

Hi . Thanks for the informative video, for living room can you pls suggest us models with following features: (UST ceiling mount is must ) - 3D - Eye protection - Smart OS - 4K HDR

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.

Nice comparison and very helpful. Can you also do a review about XGIMI's laser projector AURA?

Thanks for sharing. 😉👌🏻

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.

Thanks for this simple breakdown. Great content as usually. I do have a question about screens. Will any ALR screen work with a short/ultra short throw screen? Because I’ve seen specific short throw labeled screens but only come as big as 120-135 maybe. So if I could get a regular ALR screen for my short throw it would work? Is there any thing i lose?

Hey Chris! Wondering what you're thoughts are on best portable projector for under $1500 is... Keep up the amazing work, very professional

well explained chris

Great information

I have a short throw projector, used it since well 2012 but not that often, lamp based. I project 104" 16:9 at around 1.5m distance and me and my parents installed projector and screen. At some point i need to replace that projector and I hope to be able to have more or less the same screen by then.

well explained, i am from India

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?

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

Chris what recommendation would you have for a long throw projector for each of these types for an outdoor theater that throws the picture about 25 feet to a screen that is between 14 and 20 feet in width? Thanks for your video another great informational

Yo Chris, love the videos man. I have a 10ft distance between wall to wall. What 4k projector is best for maximum picture size. I think a lens adjustment is going to be critical to ensure I can adjust for the wall size. I've used projector central but for confidence I think I need a good lens adjustment option. Thanks bro

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.

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

Are you going to do a new best of year video for projectors anytime soon? I plan on buying a 4k

Liked and sub. Such a succinct video about a topic with so much garbage out there. Thank you!

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.

Big Thanks .. Great

hi chris can you give a review about how to connect a transmitter and receiver to a projector and a soundbar thank you.

thanks for the inf bro.

Chris, you're great presenter.

I would like your opinions on mid grade speakers for those that don't want to spend on high end gear but don't want a low teir experience sound for hone theaters

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.

I had a bulb in a lamp blow on me way back. I tried watching tv on projectors back in the 90s. Of course these models were presentation projectors. I didn't know jack back then.

Just found your channel. New Sub 🦾 Shopping around for a projector. Your vidz are helping me out a lot! Also, btw, I can tell by the way you say "looomens" you must be from Baltimore. 😂

Hi Chris, Which one of the projectors would you recommend for displaying the image just on the plain white wall. So far I have nearly 10 years old benbq and it's time to upgrade but I'm in rental so can't mount the screen to the wall

Can you please recommend the best project or prohectors for outdoor large screen display?

Very helpful my friend but was going ask about eco friendliness ? Any side affects?

Thanks a lot

Hey Chris! What's the best/most suitable projectors for outdoor 24'/30' inflatable screens? Thank you!

what do you think about the jmgo u2 pro or the jmgo s3? Am about to buy it id appreciate your opinion thanks

Hey I have a question do you know if it’s even possible to ultra short throw projectors to reach the 2:40.1 ratio or is that only standard throw projectors that do that cause I know the all do 16:9?

Are they any different in how they work with rear projection?
