Buying a projector instead of a TV may seem like a stretch, but buying one alongside a TV makes much more sense. These days, projectors are brighter, sharper, and far more forgiving than they used to be. The models I’ve been testing deliver a genuinely enjoyable viewing experience even in lighting conditions that used to send me scrambling for blackout curtains.
Built-in Google TV also strengthens the projector push. It helps turn what used to be an obnoxious setup process into something refreshingly TV-like, especially since features like autofocus and auto keystone correction handle fine-tuning.
