'Progress always comes late'. Projectionist Alfredo said that of non-combustible film in Cinema Paradiso, but he might well have been talking about 4K home cinema projection. The technology has reluctantly, and expensively, trailed UHD flatscreens. But thanks to a new generation of DLP models, it has finally put on a welcome spurt. New 4K projectors are landing with almost monthly regularity. And they’re becoming increasingly more affordable. Acer's VL7860, featured here, is the most wallet-friendly Ultra HD laser projector yet.Read more
