The BenQ W2720i is best understood as a mid-level projector among reasonably affordable 4K home theater models. Priced at $1,999 at this writing—and slated to go up to $2,199 shortly, due to recently imposed tariffs—it's about double the cost of entry-level models like the BenQ HT2060, but less than half the price of the Epson Pro Cinema LS12000, our most expensive Editors' Choice pick for home theater, and our top pick overall.

The Brother P-touch PT-N25BT is a solid contender for light-duty labeling. Compared with the Epson LW-PX300, the Editors' Choice-winning label printer that it most closely matches in features and price, it doesn't offer as many different types of labels. It is also limited to using half-inch-wide tapes—12mm wide, to be precise—instead of a range of sizes. However, at $39.99, it's less expensive than the Epson model.

The Epson EpiqVision Mini EF22 ($999.99) is a definitive improvement in most ways on the Mini EF12 that it replaces, offering significantly better image quality for HDR content. However, the competition is much tougher today than when the EF12 earned our Editors' Choice award years ago for 1080p room-to-room portable projectors. A case in point: the Anker Nebula Mars 3 is our current top pick in the category, offering a better value.
