Even the best and brightest projectors are still only a fraction of the brightness of a midrange television. Brightness isn't everything though arguably, contrast ratio is , but when it comes to HDR light output is a much bigger deal. Forget 4K and HDR, the biggest image quality issue with projectors is much more practical: ambient light. A projector throws light at a screen, but any other light in the room is also getting thrown at the screen. The brightest parts of the image aren't hugely affected, but the darker parts are.
Which is to say, if you're watching sports or something that's bright overall, you're fine. If you're watching a dark movie or playing a dark video game, it's going to be hard to see.
Yes, there are ambient light-rejecting screens, but they're expensive. And physics is physics. No matter how good a fancy screen is at reducing the impact of ambient light, it's still going to look worse than the same screen in a dark room.
If you want to watch your projector during the day in a room with lots of windows like the one at the top of this article and enjoy the best image quality, you'll need lots of curtains. A TV is going to create a much brighter image than any projector, one that holds up better in bright rooms. This obviously hasn't persuaded me to switch to a TV, but full disclosure: I use black-out curtains in my TV room.
Most people probably aren't willing to make that sacrifice. It pains me to say it, but for most people TVs are now a better option than projectors. This was somewhat true when I said the opposite a few years ago, but it's definitely true now.
Unless you're willing to make sacrifices to your living situation, the slightly smaller screen of a TV is going to be easier to live with. These days projector ownership means sacrificing a variety of things, like image quality, livability, possibly price, all in the name of the largest possible image. Don't get me wrong, a huge image is awesome, but it's a lot harder to justify now, given how much better and cheaper truly huge TVs have gotten.
This isn't to stay projectors have stagnated. They continue to get brighter, and their contrast and color capabilities keep improving. Models using lasers and LEDs , while still often behind in performance compared to their UHP-lamp siblings, keep getting better and dropping in price. Projectors aren't going away any time soon.

Please explain your rating. If your phone flexes or gets smashed hard enough, you are likely to be left with a blank screen. Fix Burn-In on Android or iOS Device Image retention on a smartphone or tablet can sometimes be cured just by turning the device off for an hour or so. Some, like OLED tools, will try to fix image retention and check for more permanent burn-in. Try a colorful video. If the problem is with the panel, only the placement panel which can cost as much as a new TV can fix the issue.
For those looking to reduce waste, fixing a cracked TV screen is worth it and, depending on the unit, may be more cost-effective than replacing the whole unit.
