5 Best Projector for Apple TV

1. Epson Epiqvision LS300

If you want the experience of a 120-inch TV without paying the premium. In that case, there’s hardly any competition to the Epson Epiqvision LS300 for the price it’s sold at.

For comparison, a 100-inch TV starts upwards of $2500. On the other hand, you can get a 120-inch TV experience from Epson that costs less than $2000.

The best part of using a UST projector is that you don’t need additional work to set it up. You can place a UST projector on a TV console, and you’re good to go. Compared to regular projectors that need a distance of several feet to create a projection, UST projectors only need a few inches.

Ultra short throw projectors, or Laser TVs as they’re popularly called, are a costly affair. A feature-packed Laser TV costs over $3500. Hence, to keep the price low, the Epson LS300 has average design and built quality.

Laser TVs are heavy compared to other projectors, and the Epson LS300 is no exception. It weighs around 16 pounds because it has numerous lenses essential for ultra short throw projection.

Unlike regular projectors that offer 2000-5000 hours of lamp life, the Epson LS300 can offer up to 20,000 hours of life span. Thus, you can use this projector for over a decade and not worry about a dying lamp. In addition, Laser projectors generate less heat than their lamp-based counterparts.

Furthermore, Epson projectors come with 3LCD projection technology. It uses three 15.5mm LCD panels (Red, Green & Blue) and a laser diode to produce an image.

On the front, it also has a 20W Yamaha music system. It’s a 2.1 speaker system that offers superb sound quality compared to other projectors.

However, you’ll need an ALR projection screen to get the best projection from an Ultra Short Throw projector. ALR projection screens are expensive, which increases the overall cost.

2. Xgimi Horizon Pro

If you want the best 4K projector for Apple TV without any limitations. Then, you’ll surely love the Xgimi Horizon Pro.

It’s a smart projector that comes with Android TV 10 operating system. Thus, you can also use it as a standalone projector without Apple TV.

For the price, the projector has several unique features. It includes ‘Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance.’ With this feature, the Xgimi Horizon Pro will automatically adjust and resize the projection if there’s any obstacle nearly.

For example, when you start the projector and it’s projecting over a vase or a person standing nearby. In that case, this projector will automatically move and resize the projection around the obstacle.

In terms of picture quality, the Xgimi Horizon Pro can produce up to 1 Billion colors. Thus, you can expect vibrant color output and an immersive viewing experience. For context, most projector support only up to 16.7 million colors.

Since it has 2200 lumens brightness, the Horizon Pro offers excellent projection in a dark or moderately dim room. Thanks to its 4K native resolution, the picture quality is incredibly sharp, and features like HDR 10 and HLG contribute to an enjoyable viewing experience.

Xgimi Horizon Pro is an all-in-one projector. Hence, it also has built-in 8W Harman Kardon stereo speakers. Compared to regular projectors, the speakers work well; however, for an immersive experience, I highly recommend getting a standalone soundbar or home theater speaker set.

The Xgimi Horizon Pro is as good as an all-in-one Android projector can get. It hardly leaves any stone to be unturned. Plus, it has excellent compatibility with Apple TV.

3. Xgimi Elfin

If you want the experience of Xgimi Horizon Pro without the bulk and paying 1/3 the price. Then, you’ll surely love the Xgimi Elfin projector.

It’s a portable projector weighing less than 2 pounds and will easily complement an Apple TV.

Don’t underestimate its portable size for lack of features. It can compete with several projectors that cost double the price and offer similar performance.

For starters, it’s a 1080p native resolution projector that supports up to 4K resolution. It offers 800 ANSI lumens brightness thanks to the Texas Instruments Manhattan chips. The Manhattan chips have a rectangular array than a diamond array seen in other portable projectors. The LED light source has a lifespan of 25,000 hours.

Due to its portable size, setting up the Xgimi Elfin is straightforward. After the initial setup, the projector takes over with automatic focusing and keystone adjustment.

Similar to Horizon Pro, the Elfin is also a standalone projector. It has Android TV 10 built-in with stereo 3-watt Harman Kardon speakers.

Being a portable projector, you can’t expect the same picture quality as Horizon Pro. However, it’s still good enough and can easily be the best portable projector for Apple TV in terms of picture quality.

With enough distance, the Xgimi Elfin can produce up to a 200-inch screen. However, the sweet spot is between 90-120 inches, where you get the right balance between picture quality and brightness.

4. Wemax Go Advanced

Suppose you want a sleek wireless projector to carry anywhere with your Apple TV. In that case, we highly recommend the Wemax Go Advanced.

Like an Apple TV, the Wemax Go is also sleek and compact with power-packed internals. It’s slightly bigger than an Apple 14 Plus and can fit in your pocket, backpack, and laptop sleeve.

For a small size, the Wemax Go Advanced has native 1080p resolution and can support up to 4K resolution video. The brand claims it has 600 lumens brightness; hence, the projector is reasonable for a 60 to 80-inch screen in a moderately dim room.

The Wemax Go Advanced is an Android projector with limited features. It uses FengOS and has several limitations as a standalone projector. Hence, it makes an ideal projector to use with Apple TV and stream content from popular platforms like Hulu, Netflix, Prime Video, etc.

As mentioned above, it’s a wireless projector with a built-in battery. In wireless mode, the projector lasts up to 90 minutes in Eco mode. While the battery performance isn’t great, it’s a helpful feature in times of need.

On the upside, the projector works off a power bank. Hence, you also don’t need a live socket to power up the Wemax Go Advanced.

Like the Xgimi Horizon Pro mentioned above, the Wemax Go Advanced also has auto keystone and focusing. However, the performance isn’t outstanding and sometimes doesn’t work either.

5. Miroir M289
