Black Friday 4K projector deals 2022: what we can expect this year

The Black Friday 4K projector deals are the perfect time to get something premium for less. While the cost of projectors, on the whole, has slid noticeably in the past few years, those units that are placed at the top end of the spectrum, offering all the bells and whistles that come with a glorious 4K resolution do hold higher price tags. However, this is not the case for a few glorious weeks every winter when even these aren't immune to price cuts. In fact, some of these 4K beasts make up some of the best of the wider Black Friday projector deals.

Those few weeks that cover the Black Friday 4K projector makes up the ideal time to strike: many premium products you've had your eye on will come right down in price, and we may even see 4K beasts basically shift price categories entirely. 

We keep a close eye on those that sit across our best 4K projector and best projectors for PS5 and Xbox Series X guides as these are the ones that we ourselves will be most excited to follow ourselves. And with the gaming projector market growing loads in the past year, Black Friday 2022 is going to be prime time for snapping a specced-out beast up.

Black Friday 4K projector deals: FAQs

When will the Black Friday 4K projector deals start?

The Black Friday 4K projector deals will start earlier than the big day itself - as we are all accustomed to now. While the big day itself is on Friday, November 25 - the Friday after Thanksgiving - we can always rely on the big retailers going live early with their deals to try and out do each other and vie for our money. We always say to be watchful from mid-October onwards, and then very much ready to pull the trigger at the beginning of November if something pops up then.

Black Friday 4K projector deals: what we expect to see

Projectors in the 4K realm are, indeed, some of the most expensive by default. It's no accident that we're seeing the same price differences in projectors as we were once used to in TVs: the higher the resolution the more money you need to spend. And while that's still the case, generally, the tech is getting more affordable. The fact remains that the Black Friday 4K projector deals are the best placed to get the most for your money, year in, year out.

We will be seeing some great 4K models from the top table drop to record low prices this year, and offer immense bang for buck value. The likes of Epson, BenQ, ViewSonic, and Optoma will all get in on the act with their most premium models having their time in the deals sun.

One range in particular that we're keeping a close eye on, however, is the Premiere range from Samsung. These models caused a wave when they first came out in late 2020 by being able to throw a full 4K picture from an incredibly short distance while maintaining their pedigree and premium quality. Be sure to keep an eye on Black Friday Samsung deals for more. 

This year's Black Friday 4K projector deals will be the first of such sales periods that the Premieres will have experienced, and while they will still be an Investment, the chances for lowest ever prices are strong. The LSP9T model - the top projector - has come down to nearly $5,000 once this year, in June, from its lofty $6,500 listing price and we'd put good money on seeing that price again - and perhaps one even lower.

We'd also keep an eyeon XGIMI's excellent 4K projector range. These are budget friendly (relatively speaking) even at full price but regularly embrace discounts and sales events. For example, the XGIMI Horizon Pro model saw a lowest everprice in liast year's sales by about $200, and then recently got a new low during October's Prime event - we'd expect this sales price to at least hold, if not tick a bit lower.
