Well, let's be realistic here. Of course the projectors are in the thousands.

 

Smart 4k TV's have just gotten an average of under 1000 dollars(for a maximum of around 60 inches). Projectors are a whole different levels. LG is currently making many projectors. 8k will most likely come by the time of 2018-2020. By then, a 4k projector should be around 500-1000 dollars(or more if you love spending cash)

My Sharp Aquos 52D62U 52" 1080p tv was $4500 in 2006
My Panasonic PT-AE1000U 1080p projector was $4600 in 2007

It wasn't on a whole different level with 1080p. Projectors are lagging behind when it comes to 4K. They should be in the $4000 range now.
Btw, damn checking my bills, the heck was I doing back then. At least there was already plenty stuff available for 1080p, and I was a whole lot more excited about 1080p than 4K currently. Both still work great, although the tv has developed a slight striping effect with monochrome backgrounds (Journey highlights the problem) and projector lamps don't last that long.
