One of the easiest ways to seriously upgrade your home office or workspace is with a bigger screen — or by adding a second one. And right now, you can pick one up for less. Amazon is currently offering up to 47% off select 2022 HP monitors so you can improve your setup on a …

The Vimgo P10 is one of the seemingly countless projectors on Amazon I’m going to christen as “ultra budget.” Its price varies between $200 and $250, similar to the AAXA P8, the cheapest projector we’ve reviewed thus far. To answer the most obvious question up front: Yes, the Vimgo P10 does actually work.  I was all ready with a long …

It’s the rare projector that crosses my path with an aesthetically beautiful design. There are plenty of cool projectors, some cute projectors and even some that could generously be called “neat.” The Xiaomi Mi Smart Projector 2 is as stylish as any projector I’ve seen, and would look right at home surrounded by Apple devices on an Eero Saarinen table flanked …

One of the most difficult aspects of shopping for projectors is trying to compare specifications. Does Projector A’s 5,000:1 contrast ratio actually look better than Projector B’s 4,500:1? How much brighter is Projector C’s 1,000 lumens compared to Projector D’s 800? Let me tell you a little secret: These specs are largely meaningless. In broad strokes, sure, a 3,000-lumen projector …

The Epson Home Cinema LS11000 is a higher-end 4K projector powered by lasers rather than the traditional lamps used by most of its competitors. A lamp happens to power Epson’s own Home Cinema 5050 too, a projector we loved and which stays in the company’s lineup. The LS11000 costs $1,000 more and promises a significant leap forward, with more pixels on screen …

Whether you’re replacing an old monitor or adding a second (or third) screen to your desk, Amazon has your monitor needs covered with great deals on Samsung monitors that are ideal for gaming and professional use. You can also upgrade your workspace for everyday computing needs as well, and with savings up to $80 off, now is the perfect time to think …

The AAXA P6X is a pint-size portable projector that’s remarkably bright, has a huge battery and costs less than a phone. I wasn’t familiar with AAXA projectors before this review, but the specs looked so good on paper I just had to test it out. After all, 1,100 lumens for $360 just doesn’t seem possible, especially from something that can fit …

The laser revolution in projection continues with Epson introducing two new high-end home theater projectors, the Home Cinema LS12000 and Home Cinema LS11000. They promise high brightness and punchy contrast, as well as a variety of other upgrades over one of our favorite 4K projectors, Epson’s Home Cinema 5050. I’m most interested in the LS11000 since its $4,000 price tag is …

Getting a new TV can be confusing, especially when it comes to figuring out what size TV you want in your space. Generally speaking, bigger really is better.  There are very few fancy TV “features” that tend to beat a larger screen in overall satisfaction, which means that spending more for a huge screen is usually going to be the …

At first glance, the Optoma UHZ50 looks like any other compact DLP projector. Inside, though, is a different story. Instead of the UHP lamps typical of most home theater projectors, the UHZ50 uses a laser to generate light. The result is a bright, colorful image from a relatively small, quiet box. And unlike traditional UHP lamp-based projectors, it’s fast to …
