Why Your Next TV Might Be a Projector: What You Need to Know Before You Buy

A midrange projector and screen in 2025 can produce a 120-inch image for about $2,000, undercutting most 98-inch LED TVs. Models like the Epson LS12000 and BenQ X3100i offer native 4K and HDR, while high-end projectors such as JVC's NZ9 use 8K e-shift upscaling but no native 8K chips. Laser and LED light sources now dominate, with lifespans over 20,000 hours. Many 2025 projectors feature built-in Android TV and Netflix certification.

  • Dollar Falls as Japan Intervenes to Support Yen Amid Mixed U.S. Economic Data
    May 1, 2026, 12:42 AM EDT. The U.S. dollar index dropped nearly 1% to a 1.5-week low on Thursday, pressured by a 2% rally in the Japanese yen following government intervention in forex markets. Japan's Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama warned of impending yen support measures. U.S. economic data showed mixed signals: Q1 GDP growth slowed to 2%, weaker-than-expected leading indicators dropped, yet jobless claims hit a 57-year low and inflation measures remained elevated.
