Forget OLED TVs – I review projectors and these 5 Black Friday deals are serious upgrades

Samsung The Freestyle 2nd Gen projector: was $799.99 now $599.99 at Samsung
Samsung's portable projector is one of the most innovative we've seen, and it's now selling for its near lowest-ever price direct from Samsung. Portables are great for outdoor movie nights, but can also be set up anywhere you want to get a big 100-inch HD-res image. The Freestyle leads our list of the best portable projectors, so this is a deal we can enthusiastically recommend.

XGIMI Horizon Pro 4K laser DLP projector: was $1,699 now $1,099 at Amazon
XGIMI is no stranger to holiday sales events, and for Black Friday, it’s selling its Horizon Pro 4K projector for $500 off. That’s quite a deal for a 4K projector with auto keystone and screen alignment tech, a built-in Harman Kardon audio system, and Android TV for streaming. This projector’s sale price is the lowest it has ever been let go for, making it a solid Black Friday deal. 

LG HU810PW 4K Laser DLP Projector: was $2,999.99 now $1,996.99 at Amazon
This Black Friday deal on LG’s 4K laser projector knocks more than $1,000 off its $2,999 list price. That’s a great discount for a 4K projector with a specified 2,700 ANSI lumens brightness and frame-by-frame dynamic tone mapping for HDR. The HU810PW also features the same webOS smart platform found in LG’s OLED TVs, which makes it easy to stream from video apps straight to the projector. Grab this deal before it’s gone! 

Hisense PX2-PRO 4K ultra short throw projector: was $2,999.99 now $2,499.99 at Best Buy
This Best Buy deal on Hisense’s new PX2-Pro projector reduces its cost by $500. That’s a great deal for a new ultra short throw projector and one that we praised for its bright, color-rich image, flexible setup options, and appealing design in our Hisense PX2-PRO review. It’s rare for a new 4K projector to get a price reduction this steep shortly after release, so this is one Black Friday deal not to be missed. 

Epson EpiqVision Ultra LS800 ultra short throw projector: was $3.499 now $2,799 at B&H

This is the lowest price we’ve seen the LS800 selling for, so if you’re looking for a projector that’s great for viewing both movies and sports, don’t miss this deal.
