best projectors under 1000 header

Thinking of upgrading your home entertainment space? You're probably debating whether to get a projector or a 4K TV. Each has its own pros and cons, but since you're here on this page you've clearly chosen projectors. For starters, a projector has a smaller footprint and isn't going to take up too much shelf or wall space. Next is its most obvious appeal: A bigger screen to enjoy your favorite movies. Lastly, projectors tend to be cheaper than TVs. We've scoured Amazon and found three home projectors that are available at awesome discounted prices. Save up to $206 when you get the BenQ MH535FHD, Epson Home Cinema 2150, and Optoma UHD50 in Amazon's Memorial Day sales.
BenQ MH535FHD
-- $570, was $650

The BenQ MH535FHD home theater projector is relatively tiny at about 13-inches wide, 9.5-inches deep, and 4-inches high and weighs just 5.3 pounds, so it won't be difficult to tuck it away when not being used. It's capable of projecting an image up to 300 inches, or 25 feet, on the diagonal. You'd be able to enjoy Full-HD content in 1080p definition combined with a high contrast ratio of 15,000:1, which means everything is rendered in beautiful, high-contrast quality without downscaling or compression. With a maximum brightness of 3,600 lumens, the MH535FHD is blindingly bright and can easily compete with ambient light. Further, it has a Smart Eco mode that lengthens its light source's lifespan by up to 15,000 hours.

No Price Hikes: Dish guarantees your cable price for 2 years

Man watching NFL on Dish.

Inflation. Statistically, it is probably one of your top 10 complaints about daily life right now. What was $3 is $6, was $16 now is $22 and such forth. And, it seems every day we hear of reasonably priced entertainment packages jumping up in price by dollars and dollars that we don't want to spend. Right now, however, you can get Dish — you might know them as 'Dish Network', they've been around for quite some time — and lock in today's prices for two years. So, while your friends are paying 2026 prices you'll still be in 2024. Tap the button below to see if Dish is right for you and continue reading to see our take.

Why you should try Dish
With Dish, you can get hundreds of channels and thousands of on demand titles at your fingertips for around $100, depending on what package you get. For example, the "smallest" package includes 190 channels, includes popular all-day background watches like ESPN and the Disney Channel, gives you more than 28,000 titles you can watch at any time, and costs just $85 a month. You can reduce that further to $73 by removing local channels. Opt in for the Netflix Standard package (offered by Dish) for $15 a month instead — we recommend this swap if you have an antenna for local TV — and get a full entertainment package for ~$88 per month. The most expensive plan, which has over 290 channels and 36,000 on demand titles is only $30 more per month, also locked in for two years.
