Screen sizes of thebest TVsget bigger every year. For instance, it’s now possible to buy anOLED TVin the 97-inch range, though a screen that size will run you up to $30,000 / £28,000. That’s one reason why I’m a fan of projectors, which can deliver a 120-inch or even larger image for a much lower price.

While TVs get the most attention during theBlack Friday dealsseason, you can also find big discounts on some of the best 4K projectors among theBlack Friday TV deals. With the right projector, you can upgrade your TV viewing setup to a serious home theater, so such deals are well worth seeking out. Below are the best projector deals that I’ve found during my scans of retailer sites in both the US and the UK.
