Methodology

How we rate Projectors

The meta score (0–100) combines three parts: our editorial rating (50 %), independent test reports (35 %) and ratings from our readers (15 %). If one part is missing, its weight is shared among the others.

The editorial rating draws on manufacturer specifications, independent tests and user experiences. It is made up of 7 criteria with fixed weights:

Image quality30 %

Sharpness, contrast, color accuracy, HDR rendering, rainbow effect, picture in low ambient light

Brightness15 %

Measured ANSI lumens vs. stated figure, uniformity, brightness drop in eco mode

Installation & setup15 %

Autofocus, keystone, lens shift, zoom, throw distance, ceiling mounting

Smart features & sound10 %
