Worse, its price is a good 50% higher than it should be based on how it looks and performs. However, it lacks a battery and its performance is average, at best. Its built-in streaming is far better implemented than most portable projectors. About the size of a Bluetooth speaker, and in fact can double as one, the Freestyle can pivot on its stand to project an image at any height on walls and even the ceiling. Samsung Freestyle: The small, cylindrical Freestyle is an interesting idea, but it comes up short. However, it's dimmer than the Xgimi Halo Plus for similar money, so we recommend that one instead. You can even use it as a Bluetooth speaker. If you need some extreme light output, the Epson HC2350 mentioned below doesn't look quite as good, but is far brighter.īenQ GS50: The GS50 is a lunchbox-size 1080p projector with a built-in battery. If your budget is around $1,000 and you have a light-controlled room, this is the projector to get. Head to head with its predecessor, the older projector still looks great, but overall the HT2060 is a little bit better.

However, because you don't need to replace the lamps, the cost of ownership over the projector's lifetime is far lower compared to the HT2050A. The HT2060 is about 25% more expensive to purchase. The downsides are a reduction in brightness overall, though the HT2060 is still a bright projector. The second is impressive color accuracy and depth. First, the LEDs should last the life of the projector. New to the HT2060 is a move to LEDs instead of a traditional lamp to create light. It has many similarities, including 1080p resolution, lens shift and great color accuracy.

The BenQ HT2060 replaces our long-time favorite, the HT2050A.
