About BeamPick
An independent, spec-based guide to home theater, portable and ultra-short-throw projectors.
BeamPick is published by Informative Buy, a small independent business run by Gerardo Galicia in Venice, California. We built it because projectors are sold on "4K" and "lumens" headlines, while the figures that matter (whether brightness is ISO or ANSI, native vs pixel-shift 4K, light-source life, throw ratio, lens shift, HDR formats, speaker power, weight and battery life) are buried in spec tables, measured in different ways, or not published at all. Here, every product is compared on the specs its manufacturer publishes, scored with a formula printed on the page, and linked back to its sources.
Today the site covers 3 categories, 105 products and 31 head-to-head comparisons, from lamp and laser home theater projectors to battery portables and living-room ultra-short-throw laser TVs.
How we research
- Manufacturer data first. Specs come from official product pages, spec sheets and manuals. Each product lists the exact pages we used.
- No guessing. If a figure isn't published, we show "Not listed" and score it at the lowest published value in the category, never as average.
- A transparent formula. Weights and scales are on every comparison and on our How we rank page.
- Honest about limits. Our comparisons are research-based. We don't claim hands-on lab testing, and we don't publish made-up reviews, ratings or prices.
How we make money
BeamPick participates in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When you buy through a "Check price" button, Amazon may pay us a commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions never change the order of a ranking, and no brand can pay for placement. Details are in our affiliate disclosure.

Manufacturers update products and spec sheets. If you spot an outdated figure, a broken source or a product we should add, please tell us and we'll fix it.
