I pulled that from the user manual of ASUS H1 LED projector
Your welcome mate enjoy (cheeky) ️
This does not have 3d
It has 3D managed to purchase one about an hour ago for £500 to be delivered tomorrow, thanks (y)
Question: Is it a 3D projector? Answer: No its not and unlikely to be for the price By Dr. Karen E. Lawrence on 12 October 2019

I'd rather have inky blacks
I think a 180" screen compensates :D
You know what I mean, no thank you to washed out blacks. even then it won't compete
Purchased back in Nov. 2021 and happy with it - sometimes drops the wifi, but apart from that no issues
Then you should search for reviews or did you send one back? (nerd) You'd need to spend over £5000 to get that kind of quality

With my 141x from 2016 I've got 10000 hours on the original bulb. Takes a few goes to turn on now, should treat it to a new bulb!
Why not though? We have 4k TVs at this price, even up to 65", admittedly more towards the budget end but possible, at least in sales, to get a perfectly decent 4k 65" TV for around £400, yet a sub £500 4k projector simply doesn't exist (short of getting lucky with a misprice or possibly very good used deal). It really sucks IMHO that if you don't have a grand to spend (or pretty close to it) you are basically limited to a 1080p projector....
I’ve been looking as these, concerning to hear of the issues some are experiencing though.
I have this and it is fantastic, I paid £429 in May 2021
Bought one of these when on offer on amazon in 2018 for the use screening World Cup games on a big screen (£349 I believe it was at the time). It's a good projector for the money, (quieter and brighter than a cheap LED one it replaced). I only use it very occasionally - usually for big sporting events or the odd film. So I was disappointed the bulb had failed last year, after not a great number of hours use. Cant complain for the money though.

What with the inflation in general I can’t see these coming down much. As people tighten their belts the volumes are only going to go down, which is the main problem with all projectors, very low unit sales per model released compared to TVs
Looks likea mattress
I with these USTs would come down in price. I would love to have one but I'm not willing to spend anymore than a grand 🙈
Does this have 3D? Edit: Nope, it doesn't. Same price at AO and Curry's as well.

He's absolutely right I wouldn't pay half that price for that Projector I've owned a few Pico projectors and this is definitely not worth that amount of money and that's the reason why your getting a free phone or should we say your paying for that phone
Get in the Picture with Great Projector Discounts at hotukdeals

Projectors function by taking data from streaming sites, Blu-Ray DVDs or games consoles, and sending it through a complex array of mirrors or prisms to cast it onto walls and screens. And with their ability to create wide images effortlessly wherever they are pointed, it's no surprise that projectors have always been a go-to device for serious cinema fans.
In fact, projectors were there at the very beginning. In 1895, a variant of modern home projectors was used in Paris to show the very first movie. And even that breakthrough built on centuries of magic lanterns and camera obscuras – devices which aren't that dissimilar to today's 4K beasts. But which model is suitable for your viewing needs? Let's explore in more detail and offer some handy buying suggestions so you can find the best projector deals.
Where to Find Projector Reviews
When you buy a projector, you may well need to spend over a thousand pounds. And when you spend that much, you really want to be confident that the device you are buying will perform well and last for years. Fortunately, there are some excellent sources of reviews and buying information on the web to help you make the right decision. ProjectorReviews is a good place to start, but ProjectorCentral,Tech Radar, and PCMag all scrutinise the latest projectors as they are released. So there's no excuse for buying a model that the experts have panned.





Features to Look for in a Good Projector
Here are the main things to look for when buying a new projector:
- Type
A home projector could come in various formats. If you want superior resolution, a (fairly expensive) 4K projector will be vital. If you want to be able to move your projector around of take it wherever you go, a mini projector will make sense. Then there's LCD vs DLP...
- LCD or DLP?
DLP projectors tend to be more compact and portable, offer better resolution and smoother playback. LCD projectors offer better colour depth, are more energy efficient, and run more quietly. So both have their strengths and weaknesses.
- Brands
As with all devices, picking the best brand can help ensure that your projector lasts the distance and performs well. Leading brands that won't let users down include LG, NEC, Philips, BenQ, Epson, and Dell.
- Resolution
Resolution determines how “realistic” the image projected onto your screen will be. Ratings vary wildly from rough around the edges 854 x 480 pixel models, through to 4K projectors which match high-end 4K TVs. As a rule, anything above 1280 x 720 will deliver DVD quality and better.
- Sound
Most home projectors won't come with speakers built in, so users will ned to source speakers which are compatible with their device. However, some more advanced models do feature audio equipment – and these models will be much better for home cinema fans or gamers who want to avoid sound lag.
- Brightness
Brightness determines how strong the image is which projectors create and is usually measured in ANSI lumens. If you are using a projector in anything other than blackout conditions, it's essential to max out on brightness. Ratings start at 500 lumens (too low in most cases) but rise to as much as 3-4,000.
- Zoom
Not all projectors come with optical zoom as part of the package, and not everyone will need this feature. However, if you do want to focus on specific images (such as web pages) or use your device for presentations and watching TV, a zoom will come in very handy.
- Inputs
Ideally, a good projector will have as many input ports as possible, including HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort, MHL, VGA, and SDI. WiFi is another increasingly common feature and will be essential if you want to hook your device up to services like Roku or Chromecast.
- Throw Ratios
If you want to place your projector near the wall of screen, a “short throw” version will work best, featuring a ratio of 1:1 or less. Ideal for smaller rooms. Otherwise, “long throw” projectors will offer better performance all-round.

How to Set Up Projector Devices
Here's a quick guide to setting up your projector properly:

Firstly, pick a location that suits the specs of your device and your home layout. A large patch of white wall will work well.
Generally speaking, if you are aiming for a 120-inch image, the projector should be placed 3-4 metres from the wall. But calculation sites are available online if you are confused about the precise distance.
If you have access to a specialist projector screen, it is advisable to mount it on the wall or hang it from the ceiling. Specialist screens will deliver more even images without rainbow effects and blurring.
Now, we need to position the projector to achieve the perfect image. As a rule, the centre of the projector lens will be roughly in the centre of the image (or as close as possible).
The more you need to angle the projector, the more distortion will result. So use hanging mounts or tables to achieve the right height. And always place projectors on flat surfaces.
Before watching movies, make sure that you optimise the projector's focus with a block of text. And play with the contrast and brightness settings on your device to make sure they are fine tuned for cinema or TV. After that, you're good to go.
Projector Accessories to Consider Purchasing
Here are some projector accessories you might want to consider in addition to your new projector:
Projectors: A Quick FAQ
The first modern projector was the Lumiere Brothers' Kinetoscope, which appeared in 1895. Overhead projectors first appeared in the 1940s, and were used in American police identification labs.
They can be. Make sure your projector has low input speeds, fast HDMI ports, 4K resolution, WiFi connectivity, and is set up to deliver optimal contrast, colour, and brightness, and you can enjoy widescreen gaming with ease.
Potentially. Projectors really come into their own vs TVs when they are used for cinematic widescreen projection. Otherwise, TVs tend to be more convenient and offer similar visual performance.
Yes they are. Projector bulbs can retail for hundreds of pounds due to the need to manufacture bulbs with high brightness and low heat generation properties. So treat your projector gently!
Generally not. Most projectors need to be used with external speakers, and are designed to sync up smoothly. However, some modern home TV and cinema projectors do have built-in speakers, although they may not be top of the range audio monsters.
If you're wondering how projector works, the best way to visualise it is as a reverse camera. Projectors take digital images, transform them into light, then beam this light via mirrors or prisms onto a screen a few metres away.
Yes. Manufacturers like Epson and EUG now produce Bluetooth-compatible projectors which can connect to smartphones, gaming systems, and smart speakers, offering a convenient way to set up entertainment systems.
Sometimes. If your projector can pump out 2,500 lumens or more and you have a good light-blocking setup in your living room, it should be possible to achieve a decent quality image. Otherwise, evenings are the best time to use projectors.
It's unlikely. If you stare directly into the beam created by a projector, then eye damage can result. However, when setup correctly, it shouldn't be easy to make eye contact with the lens.
Yes, and it's a major problem with some models. Cleaning dust from the inside of the unit can help, and switching from DLP to efficient LCD models can reduce heat as well.
How to Find the Best Projector Deals Around
Projectors offer a genuine competitor for widescreen TVs. In fact, if you want to get as close as possible to the feeling of sitting in a cinema auditorium, projectors are the only real way to achieve it. And even under-powered mini projectors are a great option for travelling or taking to gaming parties.
However, there's one major problem with projectors which can make TVs more attractive, and that's the price. The very best 4K projector units can cost thousands of pounds. And even a compact Pico (mini) variety will usually cost over £200. Even so, those prices aren't set in stone. There are ways to find a cheap projector whether you need a top of the range model or something less powerful.
Firstly, be clear about your needs. If you aren't a cinephile who notices every imperfection, an HD projector will probably do just as well as a 4K model and cost considerably less. And if you have speakers already, they may well be able to connect to projectors, avoiding the need to buy models with speakers built-in.
When you've thought about which type and specifications to look for, it's time to find ways to cut the cost of projectors. One option is to wait to major sales events like Black Friday (in November) and Amazon Prime Day (in mid Summer) when projector prices drop significantly. That's a particularly good strategy for those buying high-spec models.
But it's not essential to wait that long. Whenever you need to save money on projection equipment, hotukdeals is here to help.

Sorry I'm looking for something decent myself around this price but if I find something I'll let you know
Any you can recommend?
Is it donkey Atmos?
Thanks for posting and congratulations on your first hotukdeals thread (y)
I own this and it’s a great portable projector for the price. I use in a small office room and get a clear 75” picture from 2m throw. The Harmon Kardon sound is great saving on a sound bar that you often need with the cheaper projectors.

Keep an eye on warehouse deals. Just got it for just under £230.
How’s the performance in brighter rooms? Generally gets good reviews but negatives seem to be need a very dark room and the fan is noisy.
no, from germany - https://www.sotel.de/en/TV-Heimkino/Beamer/Xiaomi-Mi-Smart-Projector-2-EU.html
Got a link? Did you Aliexpress it?
The Wimus P20 you link to puts out around 300-400 ANSI lumens (the 7000 claimed are marketing lumens and are essentially a made up number), undoubtably.good for the money but the LG claims 600 ANSI and so should be noticeably brighter. Likewise the LG outpowers the Yaber V10 which is rated at 380 ANSI.

Insane prices
The description for both models has been added. "Input Lag. I measured 53.9ms lag in 4K/60p mode, more than good enough for casual gaming, but there are other UST projectors with lower latency if gaming is the focus." Taken from: https://www.projectorcentral.com/LG-CineBeam-HU715Q-UST-Projector-Review.htm#Measurements
Description is for the UST model which is £500 more.
Odd pairing. Not a projector you'd want to game on given the input lag

Projectors are bought by all sorts of people, some really don’t understand what makes one better than another, I am sure there are plenty of customers at this price for a brand that will be more reliable than some Chinese junk brand. I wouldn’t call this a bargain either though…
not worth it imho the poor LED backlight cripples this projector I saw it a few days ago on the warehouse and it's been on there since. That's how 'hot' a deal this was
I, for one, enjoyed your journey through this thread. I laughed, I cried. 10/10, would read again.
Ignore my question. Just seen that this is 4K resolution whilst the Xgimi on sale today is 1080. So not really comparable. I'll shut up now
1500 is the correct ANSI Lumens for this projector. Unlike a lots of cheap Chinese projectors LG do not lie about the number of Lumens it’s projectors have.

Yaber make decent ones and are silly cheap
Sorry just seen this although I think they sold out it was £300ish and yes it's usb c but not 100% on this earlier model
There are some cracking full size Chinese ones on the market at very low prices but it is pot luck on wether you get a decent one. I read and watched reviews online and got a very good 1080p one for £90 (Bomaker Parrot 1) Lot of research needed Portable wise like the nebula - there are not many that fall into the cheap and good category
I personally have the wimius S1 believe it's discontinued now and it's been fab
I do not trust at all the cheap Chinese projectors, their specs are so exaggerated. I've tried about 3, all claiming a lot for the money, and all with lots of good reviews. However, all of them were rubbish in comparison with my 1000 lumens 720p LG. But I do agree with you. This projector does not have better specs than a typical Chinese no name projector. There are a few at over £100 (mine were all at under £100) that may have relatively better specs than the usual ones. So worse case scenario, you end up with the same specs as this one at half the price. But I don't think there are many with a battery and for me, this is the selling point of this projector

Did you project onto a proper projection screen or a bare wall?
Thanks for the recommendation. Its over my budget. Good buy getting an ex display. Thanks for sharing
I have a BenQ TH585. Great for movies and games (16ms response time). Best used in a dark room although I have used it with ambient daylight. https://www.box.co.uk/BenQ-TH585-Full-HD-DLP-Gaming-Projector_2765442.html It's bigger brother the TH685 with 8.3ms response time: https://www.box.co.uk/BenQ-TH685-HDR-Full-HD-DLP-Gaming-3D-Pro_2932249.html
With projectors it’s all about your commitment to a fantastic movie experience vs convenience These Anker projectors and the Samsung Freestyle are all produced to be simple plug and play all in one packages. You buy one of these if you like simplicity and convenience in the same way people buy soundbars because setting up a 7.1 speaker system requires commitment and a lot of faffing. Obviously a 7.1 speaker system will always sound better than a Soundbar in the same way a “proper” projector with a few thousand lumens will always look better. You can buy a Optoma HD145X 3D capable projector with 3600 lumens for £469 with a 6 year warranty from Richer Sounds which will always be better but you’ll loose things like auto focus, Android TV and decent built in speakers. So with the Optoma HD145X for instance you’d connect it to an AV amplifier, then you’d be able to play all of your devices through it including things like a Roku connected to Netflix/Disney+/Plex etc with 5.1 or better cinema sound coming from dedicated speakers (not an internal one in the projector). If you want convenience and simplicity, this is fine, but you’ll pay a premium for it and it’ll be lacking key features that you’d expect with a proper projector such as brightness.
It has software but it's rubbish. I use a Roku 4k stick


Errrrrr no, Crappy Tizen operating system is first big issue.
I have a deal on my John Lewis account for £150 off this product and a free case. Might be account specific but worth a look
+1 for the hookup :)
Even with tax we should not be paying more in £ than $. Apple have knocked £100 off Iphone pro in last 2 years because of the value of the £ going back up. If the s22 prices are like that am finished with Samsung. Ripping us off big time.
Thought US prices (on listing) don't include VAT. So, @20% It would be 1079$


Great first post; thanks for sharing (y)
As the tvs are getting larger id recomend buying a large tv for that price or wait for the 82 inch tvs or 97 inch to get little lower also these are loud units that give off alot heat
Sooo tempted... With the alr screen this is a fantastic deal. Must resist...
Totally agree especially as a lot of these short throw projectors have wonky 60hz motion and 'cheap' 100 inch TVs are a year away...
The Vava Chroma superior to this one however they have built quality issues and very slow with deliveries,also Vava based in US,so for warranty claims or repair you would need to send the unit back to America. The Hisense L9G is one of the best ust projector together with the Samsung LS9P(same level) but they are around a grand and a half more expensive! Dont forget the Hisense laser tvs have set picture size with the screen,you wont able to adjust them. For me the deal above would be a steel at the £1.5k price!For £2.5K you might consider getting an 85” QLED(2020 range)or a 77” Oled instead the projector!

£1.99 click and collect charge on orders under £10 so it is £5.99 as admin said….
Once again admin on here Put £5.99 as i,d put £4
Actually £4 so even cheaper But no photo if it actually on???


Also plays Rocking Around the Christmas tree, heats the door handles and puts marbles on the floor.
Is it 4k XD XD XD

Any thoughts on this one https://techgimmicks.co.uk/products/techg-4k-home-cinema-projector-full-hd-android-bluetooth-wifi?currency=GBP&variant=31432746008599&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping
Hi… as said im happy with my pj’s but as for advice im not able to give any. If you’re going ti spend do it as ive said above - wisely - and consult the avforums regards advice for a good pj thats current (y)
Im after a 4k home cinema projector to replace a Optoma hd27e (had 2 replaced under warranty so not impressed with optoma). Budget £1k. To be ceiling mounted, 3.8m from screen. Any advice please on a good all rounder but main use movies? Thanks
Hi anyone bought this who can comment on quality and whether they are happy or other options to consider at this price point? I'm looking to buy this (upgrade to existing Optoma HD27E which I consider ok but not exceptional). Feedback appreciated. Thanks
I don't have a 4k capable receiver either. I have one of these: amazon.co.uk/dp/B086YJYTVQ/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_SNTBS340TENYWQ32EM2D?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1


Is HOT for me with that free screen!Well in you can afford it!I cant,LOL!
After a good deal again on QLED I think - just missed out on the 1100 Q95T 65" screen deal at Costco. I'd buy at that price again I think - though would like ideally a QN95A for not a lot more - here's hoping....I'm in no rush really....just keen. I have an OLED LG 55" as my gaming pc/work monitor so know of the pros and cons for that but wouldn't be suitable in front room cos of how highly reflective it is, plus a lot of same content tends to crop up with having kids watching the same YT junk over n over, or news etc. Not too concerned about having HDMI 2.1 as thats what my gaming pc setup is for and front room content for myself is mostly movies - BUT I do love VRR as screen tearing has been a stick-out-like-sore-thumb issue for me since the first LCD tvs that I've hated
Yeah, it's a bit of minefield to be honest. Are you after an OLED or LCD? There are loads of deals around at the moment.
Started trying to look at these a few weeks ago - got lost into a new world of trying to research into screens etc, not realising there are many different versions of them too - ie designed to receive the light from below the screen (like one of these), vs straight on etc. I'd be after a motorised screen rather than fixed though, but couldn't seem to find one specifically suitable for a high end ultra short throw projector like these (I'm sure they are available.....but ran out of time/willpower to look and went back to my 65" screen hunt)
That's why this is a good deal for me.

Mine is great. Lights up the front of the house for £6. money_saving_mamma do you own this exact product and have had a bad experience? Would be great to know if you have.
Got ours for a similar price before Xmas last year, still going strong, well worth it for the money
£6
Not worth the money they are rubbish
As per the title this is not just a snow flake effect it also comes with a Halloween filter (pumpkin, skull, bats etc) and a second Christmas one (Santa, tree etc). Got mine up and working in 5 mins. Quite nice quality too.

Saw this posted on Facebook and came to share here. Surprised this is so cold - seems like a great deal to me!
I've got a 1500 ansi lumens ultra short throw laser projector, it does not do well in the day unless I try to project a smaller image than my usual 120+ inches. TVs recommended for daytime viewing. Portability isn't the reason I picked up a UST projector though, it's the ease of placement combined with massive picture size. Rather than drilling into the ceiling above the sofa in my rented home it sits at the front of the room where a TV would.
This UST with an ALR screen should be pretty good in the daytime, but the darker the room the better. All projectors have different brightness settings so it should be fine. A tv is less work to setup though, and at 85” you can get normally people who get projectors would be looking at screens at 100” or larger, where there are no TV equivalents at affordable prices. If you are serious about a projector I’d recommend looking on AVForums for advise, which Is where the really knowledgeable person about this stuff reside. Good luck! also heat op, shame the HUKD sheep have got to this on
Can anyone who has something like this, help with some info. Thinking of doing a cinema room, and had planned on going for something like an 85in TV. The reason for TV was for possible daytime use and that it's likely to be only ever used in that one place, but how well do these do during the day, and apart from portability is there anything else that's more beneficial over a TV?
Is this a (£)4k memory foam pillow?
There was HD VHS as as well:
I don't think the lens can be replaced easily, and I don't think there is any sort of filter thread. I guess you could find a way to mount an anamorphiuc lens but I suspect the cost of doing so, and buying the lens, would make it cheaper to buy a higher resolution projector. Are there cheap anamorphic lenses available? Not sure when SVGA was exactly,,but you could get expensive monitors that displayed 1600*1200 in the mid to late 80's
SVGA (Super VGA) I remember when this was the latest tech - late 80s.
any cheap anamorphic lens addons for this? You could solve vertical resolution issue that way
This will deffo give a better picture than those cheap Chinese fullHD models. At least you'll be able to get the whole image in focus, and it will be brighter. Perhaps, the resolution is a bit low (especially given vertical resolution that will lost when viewing 16:9 video). Young kids will love it for cartoons though.
