Test Report

Beamers in the test - small devices, big pictures

Good beamers are available from around 500 euros, but several expensive ones miss out on good marks. The beamer test shows which technical features are important. Our test shows once again: the price says nothing about the quality of a product. Of all things, some quite expensive models fail to achieve what more than half of the projectors in Stiftung Warentest's current beamer test achieve: a good test quality rating. And even among the good beamers there is a lot of savings potential. Two top devices are close to each other in terms of performance, but one is around 1,300 euros cheaper than the other.
