Are you only asking for 4K models or also for 1080p models?
For 4K you could try some of the UST models like the Fengami T1 or... other people can contribute to the models. Some of them are RGB laser 1 chip DLP models capable of displaying 100% bt2020 colors a huge advantage over all the competition plus brightness like the Optoma UHZ65 or better and the lasers probably allow for some reason a higher native contrast than the Optoma twice. However, for some reason I believe all 24fps sources output at 60fps and use a 3:2 pulldown to the best of my knowledge.
Also the BenQ HT9060 is called in the US, not sure what it's called in Europe, maybe X1200 or something, I'm not sure, it's RGB LED, almost as bright as the Optoma, 100% DCI-P3 -Color space and apparently nicer lens than the Optoma. However, it outputs 24fps at 60fps with 3:2 pulldown, same problem. But some people don't mind. The contrast is worse than the Optoma, but the image should still be sharper and have less/no rainbow effect. The Optoma UHZ65LZ appears to have added 144Hz active 3D, the BenQ has 120Hz active 3D.
These are all 1-chip models.
For 1080p the 3 chip models to look for are various Lumis models, there are many variations, some better than others but all are at least as good as the next best HT models, the Runco LS-10 or Runco LS-12 or Runco x450h maybe it's called but I'm not sure, it was basically next year's version of the LS-12, I think just a different name. And then I think it's more like cinema models or something in between HT and cinema in terms of size, but the Christie HDK-6 or HDK-12 or something like that. And in one of my previous threads there were some recommendations from Panasonic. I can't figure out how to see the threads I've posted on my profile. or the Digital Projection Titan models (but very heavy and noisy, so less recommended), there is a Digital Projection Titan LED model that I was curious about but have never heard of anyone who has had, probably also big and loud. These range from maybe 70% as bright as the Optoma to the same brightness to even brighter.
For 1080p 1 chip RGB LED models they are less bright, probably look similar to a 1,000 lumen incandescent projector and the best ones are the Sim2 M-150 or Sim2 M-150S or Sim2 M.Reference which both latter models as far as I know are "hand picked parts" versions of the M-150 from different years, or the Sim2 Mico 50 or the Runco q750 or maybe some Vivitek or DisplayVision models using the same OEM alternator , or something else as I'm less familiar with them and they may seem to trade an advantage in brightness or lens quality for many weaknesses like noise, heat, calibration or other things. The ones that people keep coming back to are apparently the SIM2 and the Runco.
These have a native contrast of 2250:1 to 3250:1, a bt2020 color gamut of 85% or more and an ANSI contrast of around 800:1 to 1000:1. The Runco q750i and Sim2 Mico 50 both have a Dynami contrast feature that can boost dynamic contrast between 12,500:1 and 16,000:1, while the newer model, the M-150, seems to have really toned that feature down to make it work only up to maybe 5,000:1 dynamic or something like that. Some people see artifacts from the function on the Mico 50 and q750i, others don't. If you don't, that's the only major advantage these models have over the newer one, while the newer one (the M-150 line) is a bit brighter, possibly a bit higher native and ANSI contrast, possibly a slightly wider color gamut and it can use the free Sim2 live color calibration software which the older ones can't use. It also has a frame interpolation feature that interpolates 24fps movies to 48fps and 60fps to 120fps, and I'm assuming 30fps to 60fps, though I don't have not tested. It works very well when it doesn't skip frames, which I'm still investigating whether it does or not, or whether other settings or maybe even the HDMI cable affect it. I've noticed that it skips in some 4K movies downscaled to 1080p when my source is played on multiple units at the same time each time, but then I tried the same movie, but the 1080p version with a different and shorter HDMI cable, a new unit with different settings, and it didn't jump at all in these or other places, it seemed to last the whole movie. So if there's a way not to skip frames, FI might be the best I've come across and a huge plus.
Note that some of the Lumis models also have frame interpolation and, as far as I can tell, have the exact same algorithm as the M-150 line. However, some Lumis models do not. Likewise, some Lumis models have dynamic contrast that can reach up to 20,000:1, and some Lumis models don't have this feature at all. Some also have a static aperture that you can close to improve contrast at the expense of brightness, others don't.
The M-150 series also has "Sim2 Proprietary 2.5 Flash 120Hz Active 3D" which the other models don't have. Some Lumis models have 144Hz "Triple Flash" Active 3D, others have no Active 3D at all.
The native contrast of the 4K single chip long throw projector is estimated at 900:1 to 1500:1 (BenQ HT9060 and Optoma) and I'm not sure about ANSI but I would estimate between 450:1 and 700 :1 appreciate.
The 4K single chip UST models with RGB laser, some apparently can achieve 3000:1 native contrast and I have no idea about ANSI but I would guess somewhere between 500:1 and 850:1.
The 3-chip DLP 1080p models range from say 4,000:1 to 7,500:1 native contrast, and the ANSI contrast should be between 800:1 and 1,050:1 I'd guess or guess/guess.
I already mentioned the numbers for the 1-chip 1080p models. About 500 to 600 lumens, but they'll look like say 1,000 incandescent lumens because LED lighting has higher CLO and looks brighter to our eyes for other reasons, and the contrast and ANSI that I mentioned earlier.
That's basically the entire state of the country, unless I've left something out. For many scenes the best 1080p DLP options might be better than anything else in your price range but only if you use madvr or lumagen or maybe the cheaper option of the Panasonic Blu-ray player would work but maybe not me not sure but for really dark scenes none of this will compete with a JVC I don't think. I hope this helps, I wasn't aware of what I was getting myself into when I set out to summarize the entire state of the country for you haha.
English original in case google translate confused some words:
Are you asking about 4K only or also 1080p models?
For 4K, you could try some of the UST models like the Fengami T1 or... other people can chime in on the models. Some of them are RGB laser 1 chip DLP models that can do 100% bt2020 colors, a major advantage over all the competition, plus brightness like the Optoma UHZ65 or better, and the lasers for whatever reason allow higher native contrast than the Optoma, probably double. However for some reason so far I believe all of them output 24fps sources at 60fps, using 3:2 pulldown as far as I know.
Likewise, the BenQ HT9060 in the US it's called, not sure what it is caleld in Europe maybe X1200 or something Im not sure, is RGB LED, almost as bright as the Optoma, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, and apparently a nicer lens than the Optoma. However, it outputs 24fps at 60fps using 3:2 pulldown, same problem. Some people aren't bothered by it though. The contrast is worse than the Optoma but the picture should be even sharper and have less/no rainbow effect. The Optoma UHZ65LZ apparently added 144hz active 3D, the BenQ has 120hz active 3D.
Those are all 1 chip models.
For 1080p, the 3 chip models to look for are various Lumis models, there are many variations some better than others but all are at least as good as the next best HT models, the Runco LS-10 or Runco LS-12 or Runco x450h maybe it's called but I'm not sure, it was basically the next year's version of the LS-12 I think just a different name.

Edit: Also ProjectionDesign F82 and F85, I left them out before by mistake.
For 1080p 1 chip RGB LED models, they're less bright, will probably appear similar to a 1,000 lumen bulb projector, and the best ones are the Sim2 M-150 or Sim2 M-150S or Sim2 M.Reference, the latter two models are different years' "hand picked parts" versions of the M-150 as far as I understand, or the Sim2 Mico 50, or the Runco q750, or maybe some Vivitek or DisplayVision models that use the same OEM light engine or something but I am less familiar with those and they seem to trade maybe one advantage in brightness or lens quality for a lot of weaknesses like noise, heat, calibration or other things. The ones that people keep going back to are the SIM2's and the Runco's it seems.
These will have from 2,250:1 to 3,250:1 native contrast, 85% or higher bt2020 color gamut, and around 800:1 to 1,000:1 ANSI contrast. The Runco q750i and Sim2 Mico 50 both have a dynami contrast function that can bump that up to, guessing, between 12,500:1 to 16,000:1 dynamic contrast, while the newer model, the M-150, apparently really softened that feature so that it will only go to maybe 5,000:1 dynamic or something like that. Some people see artifacts from the feature on the Mico 50 and q750i, some people don't. If you don't, it's the one big advantage to those models over the newer one, while the newer one (the M-150 line) is slightly brighter, possibly slightly higher native and ANSI contrast, possibly slighter wider color gamut, and it can use the free Sim2 live color calibration software which the older ones can't use. It also has frame interpolation feature that interpolates 24fps movies to 48fps in cadence, and 60fps to 120fps, and I assume 30fps to 60fps although I haven't tested. It works very well when it doesn't skip frames which I am still investigating if it does or doesn't or if other settings or maybe even the HDMI cable is affecting it. I was noticing it skip in some 4K movies downscaled to 1080p by my source playing, at the same time every time, on multiple unit samples, but then I tried the same movie but the 1080p version, with a different and shorter HDMI cable, on a new unit with different settings, and it wasn't skipping at all in those places or any other places it seemed the whole movie. So if there is some way to make it not skip frames then the FI might be the best I've encountered and a big advantage.
Note some of the Lumis models also have frame interpolation, and it as far as I can tell the exact same algorithm as on the M-150 line. But some Lumis models do not. Likewise some Lumis models have dynamic contrast that can go to around 20,000:1, and some Lumis models dont have that feature at all. Some also have a static iris you can close to improve the contrast more at the expense of brightness, some don' t.
The 4K single chip long throw projectors native contrast is I guess around 900:1 to 1,500:1 (BenQ HT9060 and Optoma), and I'm not sure about the ANSI but I would guess between 450:1 and 700:1.
The 4K single chip UST models with RGB laser, some can apparently do 3,000:1 native contrast, and I have no idea about the ANSI but I would guess between 500:1 and 850:1.
The 3-chip DLP 1080p models range from say 4,000:1 to 7,500:1 native contrast, and the ANSI contrast should range between 800:1 and 1,050:1 I would guesstimate or guess / estimate.
The M-150 lineup also has "Sim2 proprietary 2.5 flash 120hz active 3D" which the other models dont. Some Lumis models have 144hz "Triple flash" active 3D, some don't have active 3D at all.

I hope this helps, I didn't realize what I was getting myself into when I set out to summarize the full lay of the land for you, haha.
Edit: Here were the Panasonic models recommended to me also, FYI. RE: Können Sie mir bitte einen 1080p oder höher 3 Chip DLP mit ordentlichem Kontrast empfehlen??
