Laser projectors were once only the provenance of commercial movie theaters, and perhaps the board rooms of the most moneyed corporations, but now you can have one in your home without needing a second mortgage. Not only that, but one of the best on the market, the Vava 4K Projector UHD Ultra-Short Throw Laser Smart TV, is on sale. Right now, if you use the code HOORAY, you can save $280. You can get this projector, the equivalent of a 150-inch screen (that’s almost 13-feet) for $2520, down from a regular price of $2800.

There are digital projectors, and then there is Vava 4K Projector UHD Ultra-Short Throw Laser Smart TV, the Rolls-Royce of digital projectors. It’s really unmatched. In terms of the images it projects, it gives you a range between 100-inch super short cast to a 150-inch super large projection.  The picture and sound are top-notch and its lamp life promises 25,000 hours; that’s four hours a day for 17 years (measured over that time, this projector costs 40 cents per day). Beat that!

The really key feature in Vava’s arsenal is the 4K, ultra-short throw projector, balanced with projected images sizes that can reach 150 inches. This makes this projector incredibly versatile, for those of us who don’t live in giant lofts. The Vava 4K Projector manages a 100-inch short cast from only 7.2 inches away from the wall, offering you maximum use while interfering with your space at an absolute minimum.

Its 8 million pixels are powered by Digital Light Processing — special tech from Texas Instruments. Its brightness is really bright, thanks to a 6,000 lumen light source providing 2,500 ANSI Luman Image Brightness. And here’s an amazing feature added, just for safety: The projector has a built-in sensor so that, as you approach it, the image dims, so that it can avoid causing unintentional eye damage from the brightness. 

In terms of connectivity, there are three HDMI ports, USB, Audio/AV and an Ethernet port. Finally, there’s the sound. Vava definitely did not rest on its laurels here. It has a Harmon Kardon DTS-HD sound system in an integrated soundbar that packs 60W of power, DTS-HD, and Dolby Audio.

Samsung 65-inch QN85C QLED 4K Smart TV — $1,300, was $2,000

We find the QN85C to be sitting at just about the perfect price for a TV right now, while still maintaining the qualities and freshness of a much more quality TV. While it is 4K, it uses mini-LED tech, which allows for fine-tuned light control. Remember that the best QLED TVs are typically renowned more for their brightness than contrast; this tech can tip that need for contrast in the QN85C's favor. Other great features of this TV include audio with Dolby Atmos and Object Tracking Sound, 4K upscaling, and motion acceleration to keep fast moving content smooth.

HD to 4K: these home theater projectors are up to $2,000 off
The Optoma UHD55 projector.

While TVs are great, if you want to have a large screen TV that goes over 80 inches, you're liable to spend thousands of dollars, and if you want to go over 100 inches, you may not even find any options at all, especially at the consumer level. Luckily, there are a lot of great projectors that can not only hit those targets but exceed them and do it at a much cheaper cost than a regular TV. Even better, there is quite a big sale right now at Crutchfield on home theater projectors, with everything from budget-friendly options to top-of-the-range stuff.

What you should buy in Crutchfield's projector sale
Not all projectors have to be incredibly expensive, and you can grab a great project for a good price with the Optoma HZ40HDR, which is , saving you a solid $450 in the process. It's an FHD projector, although it can handle 4k and HDR sources,  and the bulb has a 30,000-hour life span, which is pretty great for a budget-oriented projector. On the other hand, if you want 4k, Optoma has a good budget option for that too, the Optoma UHD35STx, which is a 4k short-throw projector with HDR10 and HLG HDR going , which isn't a massive discount on the usual $1,549, but it's still pretty good.
