Best Selling 4K UHD Home Entertainment, Interactive, Laser Projectors: November 2019 & January 2020 Summary Posted on May 16, 2020 By Lori Feierman We at Projector Reviews are sharing here, projector sales tracking information, for North America, provided to us by PMA Research the projector industry’s well respected company that tracks projectors (and other displays (more on them below). This summary provides a list of the 5 best selling projectors in the US, in these categories in two separate months: Higher power commercial laser projectors (5000 lumens+) Interactive Projectors 4K UHD Home Entertainment Projectors Look for different data in our next update, in a couple of months! Below are the rankings of the top best selling projectors, in each of three categories, with results separate for November 2019 and January 2020. This info is provided for us to share with you, by PMA. Pacific Media Associates (PMA) publishes what is typically a semi-monthly list of the best selling projectors in different categories. They rotate which categories each month they report, to cover the widest swath of the market. PMA Research has been doing this reporting since the 1990s, and the releases continue to provide our industry with valuable information. PMA Research sells highly detailed information of their tracking to the manufacturers, including their marketshare, which find the data extremely useful. We get a summary – a top five, while those paying manufacturers get virtually a unit by unit breakdown of most projectors sales numbers, from direct and distribution, as well as breaking down the other categories, such as laser projectors, mainstream business projectors… We combine their data to produce our summaries and comments for your information. We’ve provided some links at the bottom of each list. Those are either a review of the same projector as seen on the list, or a sibling – typically one with almost identical feature sets, except perhaps different resolution, or different brightness. Any links will relate closely to describing the projectors making the PMA lists shown here. -art November 2019 Top Selling Projectors By Sales and Category Best Selling 5000+ Lumen Laser Projectors 11/19 Projector Comments #1 Sony VPL-PHZ10 Laser light engine, 500,000:1 contrast, read our review in the link below #2 Panasonic PT-RZ570W/B 5200 lumens, WXGA resolution, 20,000 hour LED lamp #3 NEC NP-P525UL 2019-2020 Best In Classroom Performance Runner-Up Award winner.
