Thankfully I've yet to see a 'smart projector.' Highly recommend as a replacement for a standard TV; much bigger screen size, more portable, more 'cinema feel,' plus it can't connect to WiFi even if you wanted it to.

LG and BENQ has quite some smart ones. They have a custom OS called WebOS. Actually you can only get non-smart ones only if you buy commercial projectors.

  • I think generally as you move up in quality/performance the app stuff drops away. Epson for example has a bunch of sub-$1500 "streaming" projectors, but as you move up into the more purpose-built "home theater" models that quickly disappears in favor of things like higher contrast levels and motorized lens/shift memory.

Until you've had the experience of a large (>77" WOLED Panel). They are just great.
