4k Projector 16:9 Under £800?

What would be some of the best 4k 16:9 projectors to be had for under £800? Preferably portable, and bluetoothable to speakers? I realise there will be "compromises" to be made...Thanks!

Shirley any £800 4K projector will be fake 4K? Just 1080p in alternate modes?

So I guess that is my first compromise? :-)

Worth bearing in mind that the EU are banning the lamps that a lot of projectors use from 1st Jan 2026.

Thanks. Might just stick with LED / Laser.... I'm also dropping the portability need. So now I'm back to the best projector (scrap the 4k if too much) I can find for under £800. Mainly for movies, about a 4-5m distance viewing to screen.

How about this? Optoma HZ40HDR DLP. Laser so gets around the lamp thing. Can be had for around £800 I think - 1920x1080 but I've kind of given up on the 4k at this price point now.

I intend on using it mainly for home cinema - viewing distance to screen will be around about 4-5m. So won't need short throw, right?
