Projectors tend to be rather expensive bits of kit, so biding your time and waiting for a worthwhile deal to arise is often the best way to snap up a top-quality model at a slightly more palatable price. If you're looking to upgrade your home theatre or find an ultra-short-throw model to replace your TV without spending a total fortune, then you've come to the right place.

The good news is that Black Friday is just on the horizon. The even better news is that some deals have started to pop up early, meaning you won't have to wait for weeks if you're looking to score some instant savings.

We've scoured the internet (sticking to the reputable retailers of course) to find some of the best savings to be found on some of our favourite projectors. We're mostly sticking to models that we've tested, however, a couple of deals on projectors we haven't reviewed are too good to miss. 

Before you dive right into the savings, here are a few things to bear in mind. Remember to check out the dimensions and how versatile any potential projector is with positioning before you buy. You don't want to take delivery of a new toy only to discover it's not suitable for your room. To help you, we've also written our own guide on how to set up your projector and get the best picture.

Pricier models will handle 4K content, giving you an incredibly lifelike picture uncovering greater detail, better contrast and more accurate colours. Make sure it has the relevant inputs that support your sources e.g HDMI for a games console or 4K Blu-ray player. Some projectors even include wi-fi and built-in video streaming for the ultimate convenience.

With all of that out of the way, let's dive into the best projector deals available right now.
