Projector recommendations for a gaming room

[alestores]

Hi -- I am looking for a projector for my gaming room but I don't know what should I need to look before purchasing it. Tried reading online reviews but still need some guidance. Any help would be highly appreciated.

I've a budget around $1000 but I can increase a bit if there is a better projector available, especially for gaming.

Do people still use projectors?

You get very large very good TVs for very decent prices nowadays.

Maybe OP wants to use it top-down to project onto a tabletop. It's a lot easier to put down a clean paper or fabric covering than to maintain a screen or piece of acrylic or whatever as a table surface.
