The PlayStation inspires gamers all over the world. It creates an incredible gaming adventure with breathtaking graphics and a huge selection of different games. This makes the PlayStation the perfect console for young and old alike.
To take the gaming experience to a new level, the display device is crucial. A projector is ideal for immersing yourself in the game. But there are a few factors to consider when choosing the right projector.
Why a projector?
The most obvious advantage is, of course, the large image that a projector produces. In combination with a high resolution, detailed images are created which make the gaming experience all the more intense. It also creates an impressive cinema atmosphere, which makes gaming with several people even more entertaining. Thanks to the PlayStation Blu-ray playback function, the gaming environment can be transformed into a home cinema in a matter of seconds.
PlayStation: From revolution to innovation
in 1994, Sony Interactive Entertainment, a subsidiary of Sony Group Corporation, launched the first PlayStation, which delighted millions of video game fans around the world. The PlayStation set new standards in graphics, sound and game depth and made Sony a leading manufacturer in the gaming sector. In the years that followed, four more PlayStation models were released. Each new generation of PlayStation brought significant improvements and pushed the boundaries of gaming.

Our projector recommendation
We have selected the top gaming projectors that are ideal for the PlayStation 5. We have divided them into three categories.
Cinematic gamer
In games such as The Last of US, Horizon Zero Dawn, Elden Ring and Resident Evil, detailed and colourful images are of great importance.
Speedenthusiast
Games such as Gran Turismo, Need for Speed and FIFA require very smooth gameplay. This allows the eye to relax and at the same time accurately capture the movements. Hertz performance is relevant here.
Competitive Gamer
Games such as Call of Duty, Apex Legends, Battlefield and Valorant require fast reflexes. The input lag should therefore be as low as possible.
