Compare Projector — Side-by-Side Specs
Projector comparisons live or die on two numbers: peak lumens on your actual screen material and contrast ratio in your room's ambient light. Laser light engines hold calibration for 20,000+ hours; lamp-based projectors run anywhere from 2,000 to 5,000 hours to half-brightness depending on bulb tier. Check native contrast (not dynamic iris), lens shift range before you commit to a throw distance, and whether HDR tone-mapping is done in hardware or just passed through.
