Best Black Friday projector deals 2025: everything we expect to see

Epson EpiqVision Flex CO-W01 HD projector | $369.99 $299.99 at Best Buy
Save $70 - You were limited to HD resolution here, but if you just wanted a cheap projector to get the job done, Best Buy had a fantastic price on the Flex CO-W01 last year. This was a return to a record-low price that popped onto the shelves a few times in the previous few months. That meant this model had never been cheaper.

Buy it if:

✅ You prioritize value over picture quality
✅ You still want solid brightness
✅ You already have a streaming stick

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want built-in streaming options

LG CineBeam PF510Q portable FHD projector | $599.99 $396.99 at Amazon
Save $203 - The previous year's 1080p portable LG CineBeam projector was at a brand new record-low price, dropping below $400 for the first time. This wasn't just the best price of 2024, it was the cheapest I'd seen so far.

Buy it if:

✅ You want a compact device
✅ You want iPhone support
✅ You need Netflix onboard

Don't buy it if:

❌ You need a built in audio system

Epson EpiqVision Flex CO-FH02 FHD projector | $549.99 $499.99 at Best Buy
Save $50 - The Epson EpiqVision CO-FH02 had only ever been cheaper than this $499.99 sale price once before - and that was back in May. That $475 record-low is extremely rare, whereas this $499.99 offer only appears every few weeks.

Buy it if:

✅ You want solid brightness
✅ You want an even bigger screen
✅ You need Netflix support

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want gaming-focused latencies

Dangbei Atom FHD projector | $899 $649 at Amazon
Save $250 - The Dangbei Atom was down to a record-low $649 price at Amazon last year, thanks to $250 off the $899 MSRP. That meant you were getting a solid 1080p laser projector for its cheapest rate yet - impressive considering this is regularly seen at its full price and savings had only just started to hit $700.

Buy it if:

✅ You want a subtle design
✅ You have a high enough placement spot
✅ Netflix is a priority

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want more powerful speakers

Save $86 - This 1080p Optoma projector was back down to its lowest price yet, with an $86 discount on the previous $885 sales price dropping us down to $799. This was a four-figure MSRP at the start of the year.

Buy it if:

✅ You need to fill a larger space
✅ HDR is a priority
✅ You have your own streaming stick

Don't buy it if:

❌ You need built-in streaming options

BenQ TK700 4K projector | $1,499 $999 at Amazon
Save $500 - The BenQ TK700 is a little older, but this was still the cheapest price it had ever seen. I'd only ever seen this model dip to $1,099 before, never breaching that $1,000 threshold. This was the first time we had a three-figure price tag on this 4K model, making for excellent value.

Buy it if:

✅ You want to stream and play games
✅ You have a 4K console
✅ HDR is a must

Don't buy it if:

❌ You don't need lower latencies

BenQ X300G 4K gaming projector | $1,399 $1,199 at Amazon
Save $200 - This was a $200 saving at first glance, but the BenQ X300G actually started life at $1,799 in March last year. This was the first time I'd seen those numbers roll down to $1,199, marking a record-low price.

Buy it if:

✅ You want a projector for consoles
✅ You have a smaller space to fill
✅ You also play on handhelds

Don't buy it if:

❌ You want the best 4K picture for streaming

AWOL Vision LTV-2500 4K projector | $2,999 $1,999 at Amazon
Save $1000 - This AWOL Vision 4K projector should be on any big-spender's radar. The $3K device took a $1000 discount at Amazon, which was the lowest I'd seen since it dropped to $1,999 back over the holidays the year before.

✅ You want high-end picture quality
✅ You want to watch during daylight
✅ You don't have a streaming stick

Don't buy it if:

Sony VPLXW5000ES 4K projector | $5,999.99 $4,998 at Amazon
Save $1,300 - This was a big'un, but if you wanted one of the best 4K experiences on the even bigger screen this Sony model was the way to go. We'd previously seen this projector drop to $4,699 at Amazon, but this $1001.99 discount was still nothing to sniff at.

Buy it if:

✅ You're investing in a high-end setup
✅ You want true native 4K
