Best PlayStation 5 projector 2023

The best PlayStation 5 projectors can turn every game into an immense experience.

Projector gaming used to be unrealistic, but the last few years have produced models that are faster and better-looking than ever before. As a result, and while we have included a budget option here, the prices of these devices are a lot higher than perhaps they would be if you were after a projector for everyday use.

That said, only some of the best projectors on the market double as some of the best projectors for gaming. So, while these may be a little pricey, at least you know our top picks are high quality.

What makes these particular projectors stand out though is that they all generally feature very minimal latency delay in comparison to most projectors out there, something that will be most beneficial to you during online competitive gameplay. They can also all deliver a Full HD picture, ensuring you're getting the most out of what the PS5 has to offer.

With this all in mind, here are our top picks...

1. BenQ X3000i

Best overall PlayStation 5 projector

If you're looking for the best balance of price and functionality when it comes to gaming projectors, then this is it. The BenQ X3000i offers incredibly low latency of just 4ms if you're running it at 1080p and 240Hz, or 16ms at 4K and 60Hz, both of which are seriously low as far as projectors go. It also works with all modern consoles, making it flexible and ideal for multi-console homes.

On top of that, it has enhanced stereo speakers for far better audio, and it has a dedicated game mode that you can alter based on the genre of the game you're playing.

What's more, it has Android TV built-in, which makes it great for streaming shows and using Android apps once you step away from your console. All in all, it's a marvel of a device and comes at an excellent price considering all the features and performance you get with it.

2. BenQ TH685P

Best midrange PlayStation 5 projector

Although we may have started with a rather expensive bit of kit, the best PS5 projectors don't have to cost all of the money you've saved up. Some of them can come in at a fairly manageable price point. In this case, the BenQ TH685P stands out as a top pick as it comes with a fair few useful features that make it especially good for gamers.

For instance, the projector has a surprisingly low latency of up to 8ms, can manage a 100" screen, and has HDR as well. Not only that, but it has a built-in speaker so you can get some sound out of it, removing the need to wear a headset if you'd prefer not to.

We wouldn't say it's the best in any specific category, but you're unlikely to get that with any midrange option anyway. What you do get for your money though is a projector that can deliver Full HD visuals, impressive brightness of up to 3500 lumens, and competitive latency compared to other projectors on the market. Overall, then, we'd say that makes it a pretty good pick.

3. BenQ TK700

Best PlayStation 5 projector for latency

If your main concern is response time, and if you're someone who primarily plays shooters (in which case it probably is), then this BenQ TK700 is an excellent choice. It's capable of 16ms latency at 4K 60Hz, but impressively just 4ms at 1080p 240Hz, making it incredibly hard to beat. It also features HDR, so you'll be able to get some stunning images up on the 100" screen.

Adding to this, you can also use it for your PS4, Switch, and Xbox if you own more than just the PS5. Plus, it has gaming-based surround sound for far more involved gaming sessions. BenQ also boasts that it's really easy to set up so you can jump right into the action.

If that wasn't enough, it's not back-breakingly expensive either, which is always a nice bonus, helping make this, and yet another BenQ projector, one of our top picks.

4. Samsung SP-LSP9TFAXZA

Best premium PlayStation 5 projector

The Samsung SP-LSP9TFAXZA is incredibly expensive, there's no denying it. However, if you have the cash to spend, you'll be getting arguably the best PS5 projector going with this device.

This impressive bit of kit has native 4K resolution, which will mean your games will look astoundingly good, and has a 4.2 channel system, allowing for a far richer and more immersive soundscape to match the high-quality visuals.

What's more, it's fairly easy to set up, and even has a specific gaming mode that'll help it adjust its settings to better suit gameplay as a whole. It also has an ultra-short throw, which means it can be placed surprisingly close to a wall, plus it comes with a Smart TV built-in and multiple smart assistants for ease of use. It's a stunning bit of kit that'll make your PlayStation 5 shine.

5. YOWHICK GDP1G

Best budget PlayStation 5 projector

Finally, we have an excellent budget-friendly option because not everyone has a grand to drop on a big old screen. The YOWHICK GDP1G is an outdoor projector at its core, but we believe it can also be used indoors for gaming quite comfortably, and it has a range of features that make it worth buying outside of just the budget price tag, although that does help.

Firstly, it comes with native 1080p support, but can support 4K if you want to push the boundaries of the PS5's graphics. Also, along with having an impressively bright and colourful projection, it can manage a screen of up to 300", which means you'll need to borrow someone's house if you want to play at its maximum potential.

Interestingly, this projector comes with a built-in subwoofer speaker as well, and it works with 5G WiFi connections for seamless connectivity and minimal delay. Bearing the price in mind, we'd say this YOWHICK bit of kit is well worth considering.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

We've answered some of the most frequently asked questions about projectors to help you make a more informed purchase.

Can you play the PS5 through a projector?

Yes. It obviously depends on the specific ports on the projector itself, but a PS5 can be played through a projector and can offer an amazing experience when doing so.

Is a projector better than a TV for a PS5?

It really depends on your arrangement. If you've got enough room for a projector, and the right wall space for one too, then it's definitely a contender.

While TVs tend to be faster than a projector, that's only true if money is an issue. If you've got a lot of cash to spend, then a projector can be faster than some TVs, and offer a substantially larger picture to enjoy your gaming on.
