I first thought using the $5,000-$50,000 price bracket (target range), but I decided to extend it @ both ends to include a wider audience.
This is a section of the forums here @ WBF that is...lacking a little in my opinion, and it shouldn't because there are members here who love multichannel music scores from hi-def/ultra hi-def movies when watching/listening from various sources...Blu-ray being one of them (1080p, and also 4K, and also 3D).
Plus, the picture that is obtainable in the year 2017 with the advances of video technologies for the home and professional home theater.
Today HDR is a big deal, and Dolby Vision is a branch to HDR10. And, with front projectors 3D is alive, where TV 3D displays are all dead this year.
Plus, some (most) flat panels (limited to 2D only) are also limited on size.
I've been surfing and reading with great interest the new highway of front projectors from all connoisseurs from all over the world; USA, Canada, Central America, South America, Europe, France, Italy, Germany, Sweden, and in various languages (with translation outside English and French).
It's a fascinating world of videophiles from all classes, and clashes.
Then I thought long and hard about it and said to myself; why not, here we have a tradition to explore in depth every subject of interest.
The members and readers here have that special qualitative tendency to go where no one else go.
And that is good, real good as we advance much further in our knowledge all put together without fear, without price's limit, without bias, ...with openness....sky's the limit. ...All in realistic physical applications for each one of them (us).

I'll start with JVC and Sony front projectors, just for now...to give time for the waters and the winds to be perfectly right for our sailing boats.
And nothing over $500,000 (much less than that actually). ...For now.
This year JVC has ? https://hdguru.com/jvc-readies-2017-e-shift4-projector-lines/
And Sony has ? http://www.sony.com/electronics/home-cinema-projectors/t/home-cinema-projectors
I have been reading about these two brands as they come back often in the popular groups of videophiles. There are other brands, like Epson, BenQ, Runco, SIM, Optoma, Panasonic, etc., and this thread is welcoming everyone who wants to discuss any brand @ any price and from any type of past and present experience or not; meaning that it is not a contest but a knowledge platform from gathered sources, some of the best in the art of moving pictures reproduction in our homes, being family home theaters or/and semi professional ones.
Like flat panel TV displays, audio products, front projectors have a common point; they vary from model to model and even among the same model Series. And size does matter, and distance, and the bulb.
One very important aspect of a PJ is the lenses' quality, their precision design, their design montage, the solidity of their housing.
...Then the brightness delivered from their light system.
Next it would be the implementation of their video features in the very best optimal level of performance.
I am not an expert, I only seek others who are. To become an expert is to be taught by the best teachers/experts.
Just as an example, outside of JVC and Sony, in the lower range, and only 1080p/3D: • http://bestreviews.com/best-home-theater-projectors
And, in the 4K category (from last year): • http://4k.com/projector/
More recent: • https://wiki.ezvid.com/best-4k-projectors
This too: • http://www.consumertop.com/best-4k-projector/
? Sony VPLVW350ES (2017 winner, for "best combination of image quality and affordability on the market" according to one editor. Combined with the 3-year manufacturer warranty from Sony, it’s the ultimate 4K projector on the market today.) ? http://www.prweb.com/releases/2017/01/prweb13956733.htm

• http://www.gadgetreview.com/best-4k-projector
This year with JVC (CMD - Clear Motion Drive processing system feature with vertical banding, when turned On), and with Sony (degradation over time of its brightness and contrast); the Sony front projectors keep coming back as winners from several online expert reviews.
The JVC projectors are good too, and overall represent good performance and value. Their design (outside looks) I also prefer. But looks alone is not the full picture.
No projector is perfect, they all have their pros and cons. Some are better @ 3D than others. Some they cost only a song and they deliver awesomeness. Some they cost an elephant from Africa and they come with their entire family; the only way to afford them is to go there on a safari.
Or you can buy a ticket...@ the zoo.
This thread is everyone's thread; it's to learn and share and advance in the art of everyday's video knowledge mastering.
The ultimate goal? A pretty picture, the best. :b
