At the start of the pandemic I bought a cheap, native 1080p projector for around 80 quid. Quite simply the best piece of tech bought to get me and my family through the months of lock-down. We wanted to keep the living room TV free as we have other TV / play rooms but having sports, films and even stuff like video calls the full size of the wall was pretty amazing for the last two years. What was going to be a "temporary gimmick" ended up being a stable feature in the room for 2 years. And that's really the beauty of these cheap and cheerfull projectors - regardless of the real quality, they still offer that wow factor to the majority of normies / kids. The bad side of these things is that once you like the projector experience ... well its an itch you want to scratch with more potent kit.

The contrast issue is the one that makes some of the biggest difference with these ghost projections as having the entire area lit up hurts the effect.

Thanks for the informative review... Here's what I've learned. I recently purchased a £130 budget Philips LED projector, my first impressions were, it had good connectivity options and a relatively crisp picture, up to eighty inches on clear walls or a screen. Ideal for (ceiling mounted) smaller room environments. However pails significantly in performance, when comparing it to my larger 8000 lumen laser projector in the lounge. The Philips LED projector doesn't fair so well in overall image vibrancy and quality. Made even worse, by it's lame vertical keystone correction, that leave the edges blurred and text often unreadable. All of these budget projectors come with built in speakers, however they do need audio amplification to enjoy a movie. The cheaper models typically suffer synchronisation lag in video/audio, when media is being streamed to the projector via wireless connection. In conclusion: You get the 'performance' you're willing to pay for, sometimes less, scarcely more! 😉

I bought an Elephas projector which has "HD capable" all over the marketing... and turns out to be natively 720p. But it can *play* HD content (by downscaling it). So not a good start. It had a few other difficulties too, like a line-out 3.5mm audio socket which wouldn't connect properly with a cable unless you actively pressed the connector in. A big elastic band solved that, looks stupid but works. Chromecast (and Fire stick) gets randomly disconnected so it's useless for streaming. On the other hand, the projector works fine with a USB stick and it gets a lot of use. Audio and video quality is fine. The audio-only playback (mp3 player) has a bright blue "dancing frequency bars" fixed theme which makes it useless for night-time bedroom use. There is a timer function for auto-shutdown which *is* useful for bedtime watching. So a mixed bag, but broadly okay for my usage. Unreliable Chromecast connection is the biggest failing. Oh, and the cooling fan is starting to get rattly after a year of use.

I bought the Victsing and the VideoChars based on your recommendations. I think that the VideoChars both the brick and the PJ seem to run pretty hot compared to the Victsing. I also found that the VideoChars would skip alot and struggle to play some of my AtmosFX files, whereas the Victsing would do just fine with the same USB & files. Also realized that I bought the 12V one for the same reason, being outside, but I have to run an extension cord halfway out the yard for the PJ anyway, so kind of defeats the purpose? Was going to return it and get another Victsing, but looks like you guys bought them all up. :) Guess maybe I'll try out the Wimius. Great video, as always. Thanks!
@TheHookUp3 жыл бұрын
For me I'm running the VideoChars off of my 12V 40A power supply that also runs my 12V LED props, so I don't have to have an extension cord, just a long 15awg wire from the PSU to the projector box. I did notice that the brick runs hot, it's running very close to its max rating (which I think is 3A). My power meter showed the video chars at 42 watts, and 12x3 is only 36 watts. At 80% efficiency (typical for a SMPSU) 42*.8 = 34 watts... so it's pulling every bit of juice it can out of that PSU.

Great video. Would love to see this on sub 300$ projectors (native 1080p) I have the Vankyo V630W which while not perfect its decent for the price

That sounds expensive! Haha, I’ll consider it if this video does well.

@@GuillaumeLavoie Nah, that would be a scummy thing for me to do. I only return things if they are legitimately garbage, like the Swann NVR package where 3 of the cameras broke while I was installing them... No regrets on that one.

But how can I make my saw torture games if I can by a lot of projectors. It adds up, I may be a murderer but these prices are killer

Awesome video! I've been looking into getting a small preferably low budget projector, and this is totally what I needed! A quick question though! Have you looked into the Cinemood mini projectors? They seem decent, but I haven't been able to find any comparisons between them and others, only the promotional videos. If you have any thoughts on this brand of mini projectors that would be awesome, or if you have any interest in doing a comparison video there are holiday sales on the projectors at the moment. Thanks for your time!

Just to clarify(2:00), the last inscadescent bulb projectors were made in 1970s, since 1980 projectors started using HID(high intensity discharge) lamps, which contain quite a bit of mercury. Also not all LED projectors use lcds, more expensive LED projectors made by good companies(BenQ, Epson, Optoma) use ether 3LCD or DLP technologies.
