I'm very satisfied with my Epson Home Cinema 2040 1080p 3D 3LCD Home Theater Projector - I first tried out a DLP one, but got distracted by its subtle yet unmistakable "color wheel" rainbow streaks, which LCD projectors are free of for arcane technical reasons. My projector isn't 4K (which I think is mainly a scam - there might be a slight quality difference, but not anywhere near enough to justify the massive price markups), and the image it throws onto a 100-inch screen from ten feet or so is spectacular. I know that there are much cheaper projectors on the market, and I bought mine years ago, but I can't speak to their quality, as I'm no expert. Hope that helps somewhat...

One tool of theirs that I found particularly helpful is the "throw calculator": many projectors under $1,000 don't have a powerful zoom, so it's important to buy one that fits your needs for distance-to-screen and projection-size.
