The Philips Screeneo UL5 Smart ($999) promises to deliver a lot in a very compact package. First there's the ultra short "throw"—the distance between the projector and the screen. Put the unit even a few inches from a wall or screen, and it can beam an image directly above it. Bigger ultra short throw (UST) models can do that too, of course, but the UL5 comes in a smaller, more portable, form factor. Oh, and it's got an eyebrow-raising price for the category. Enough promises. Does it deliver?

The BenQ GP520 4K room-to-room portable projector replaces the GP500, our first Editors' Choice pick for the category, which is still available at this writing. Although the GP520's higher model number and higher list price ($1,999, but frequently discounted) imply that it's a step up from the GP500, it lacks some of the GP500's features, most notably an optical zoom and a more sophisticated sound system.

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.
