sorted byMeasured at 200 lumens from a metre away, which will only give a 32" picture, so at a more sensible throw distance, as it's says 65" at 2m, a 100 is not unlikely or even less.
It's rubbish. This is a 2 year old review and you can get brighter at 1080p with Smart features for the same price now from an Amazon Chinese one like a Touyinger (edited)
1. Most decent compact projector's from the likes of LG, Samsung, Viewsonic, Xgimi are all LED-DLP projectors which are efficient, dust resistant, and can generally last a long time
2. This projector is a single LCD running at 100 watts. I think single LCDs are prone to yellowing if the design is not sealed (I don't think this one is sealed). I believe 100 watt LCD projector should be bright enough in a dark room, but with the design you need to ensure you have a tripod (cheap LCD projectors are not suitable to use on a tea table and need to ceiling mount very low due to the way it cast the image)
But great price considering how much it's going for in the other places (edited)
Think mine was bait and switched (some clearly swapped in their old one and returned to Amazon)
You can't confirm the lamp life either as it's very easy to reset the counter to 0
However, how will you know if such a compromised solution will satisfy- that's the problem. As others have pointed out, you have brightness, and you have contrast (essentially how good are the 'blacks'). Brightness can and should be mitigated by using the cheapie projector in as dark a location as possible. The contrast, however, is a more pressing problem. A bit like VA monitors with gaming, this image quality issue is a major downside, and hard to remedy- but if your viewing materials are mostly bright, you may not notice. However modern film and TV is currently VERY dark in many scenes (a current cinematic fashion), and won't suit this projector.
A projected image lacking in contrast is difficult to watch if it has many dark scenes. Even then contrast and deeper blacks give depth and realism.
Super duper mega high lumens aren't everything if it's for movie watching.
Though obviously a decent enough amount is required for a satisfying image even in a darkened environment.
I would never use a white screen, as a grey screen just gives an image better contrast, better blacks and deeper colours.
Our brains don't notice off whites like they do off blacks.
Something that is 100 lumens (doesn't even say ANSI lumens) I doubt is going to cut it and I should imagine it would be a bit of an unsatisfying experience. (edited)
Top tip is a grey screen for better blacks and colour, you can mix your own (online) with normal paint and silver pigment.
In the winter I use garden furniture and get the firepit going and its a great way to even be outside in winter. Throw in some cheap solar lights in walls, flowerbeds and above and you can make it feel quite nice.
This looks quite dull to me
Cannot see the right brightness. manuals.co.uk/phi…=23
Bit weird. (edited)
there are good projector deals out there if you do a bit of research.
