While the TMY Mini Projector may not win any awards, it’s a great little portable project with a whopping 12,000 five star ratings on Amazon, and it’s going for just $80. Natively, it runs a 720p resolution but supports FHD sources, while also giving you a screen size from 32-inches to 100-inches, although at that resolution, you probably want to stick with the smallest sizes.

Even better, it has a substantial $200 discount that knocks it down to $600.

With native 4K, the Sony VPLXW5000ES is one of the highest-end projects you’re going to find, although it does come with a substantial cost. Luckily, the $1,000 discount does knock it down some, plus you get things like Triluminos Pro, which gives you access to billions of colors and even comes with HDR10 and HLG HDR, the latter of which is great for those who love watching sports.

How to choose a projector on Prime Day

Choosing the right home theater projector is a big decision. We’re assuming you’re likely in one of two groups — budget buyers or premium purchasers. Those on a tight budget should aim for any of the best projectors under $500. They’re ideal for starting out on your projector journey without breaking the bank. Brands here are a little less familiar, but if you stick to models with good reviews you’ll find something worthwhile.

If you can afford more, go straight to the best projectors. These include 4K projectors and premium short throw projectors, which are perfect if you’re limited for space. Knowing if you need or want a 4K resolution picture is a key part of the buying process, with most people likely to be happy with 1080p instead. If you plan on using it outside, check out the best outdoor projectors as these will be more portable and simply more practical than the regular projectors we mention.

Don’t forget about any smart features built-in as that’s sure to help you whatever your budget, while features that cut down on you needing to adjust things manually are super useful. After all, the best looking projector still isn’t much use if you hate using it each day.

Basically, we’re picking the projector Prime Day deals we would recommend to our friends and loved ones.

This $270 QLED TV deal has the makings of something better
A display of Hisense's QD5 QLED.

If you check out our listing of the best TVs, you may admittedly get some sticker shock. It makes sense — they are the best for a reason — but that doesn't necessarily make it comfortable for your family's budget. Maybe everyone already has one of the best tablets for watching movies, you don't value screen time that much, or its just not in the budget. That's why we also keep tabs on great TVs under $500, too. And this deal on a 55-inch Hisense QD5 QLED certainly makes a compelling case for it to be the TV you buy today if price is a factor. Normally $400, the QD5 can be yours for just $270 if you buy now. That's a savings of $130, or about 33%, if you tap the button below and make a purchase. Keep reading to see our insights as well.

Why you should buy the 55-inch Hisense QD5 QLED
It might be weird to think of it this way, but with a TV at this price it helps more to think of what it's missing than what it has. The good news is there isn't much absent here. It's a Google TV, so you know the OS has modern touches you'll feel comfortable with, including a voice remote. Gaming is also pretty well covered, with a "game mode" we see on so many TVs these days and motion rate 120 for smoother action. It has a 4K AI upscaler, HDR 10 (but not HDR 10+), and Dolby Vision Audio. And, with all that, it still manages to bring in one of the two big TV techs by being a QLED. This means it offers superior brightness to traditional LED TVs that you might be used to at this price point.
