Vankyo V620 Review - BEST 1080p HD Projector under $250 (2019)

[@rcpainter3023]

My favorite part of the review: Girls dancing in the Garage! LOL!!!

[@janschrieber4799]

great review and a nice projector for the price. Love seeing the girls excited with the giant movie. We use to have family movie night outside in the summer. great memories.

[@TBetter]

How come you didn't tilt the tripod tray upwards instead of using a ladder?

[@nextlevelfilms5540]

I own the V620 and the V630, the V630 is like 5% brighter (you can't even tell the difference) but the V630 fan is 70% louder! Buy the V620, no question about it, you will absolutely LOVE IT💗 Hands down best projector I've ever owned.

[@lazycarper]

how long did it last?

[@MousyLeigh]

My husband just bought this. Excited to try it out!

[@Oso_rico]

How is it

[@darnellwoods5580]

How is it? Does it show good in daytime?

[@guywakeford3259]

I found the best way to get decent sound is to link the projector to an xbox (I guess ps4 would be the same), then connect the xbox to a decent stereo system. 🙂

[@hanklandsberg8247]

FYI....when using the internal speakers, I get audio from one speaker only. I've heard same audio problem reported by several other users. 2nd channel not working. I suspect Vankyo has produced a large batch of units with defective sound.

[@vincentwalker3280]

How does it hold up against polarize film burn in?

[@andrewliechti3868]

So, how much better is this than the Cinemango 100? You reviewed that as well and said it was pretty darn good. What makes this worth 2.5 times as much? I am looking at getting one of these and would like to know which gives the most bang for the buck for just basic movie nights (maybe on the garage) Thanks!

hi, is there lag in gaming?

[@Shane101A]

This is only $170 now at Walmart. I used it as my everyday tv and I love it.

[@moiseslobato1093]

Did the same and only lasted me 4 months lol

107 on eBay atm

[@stevepeters907]

Bought from Vankyo directly a few weeks ago for $85, great price!

[@verschepard]

I also use projector as everyday tv. Once you started with the big screen expirience, you never go back to small tv's. Especially the price...my projector cost me 150€ with a amazon coupon. Now i got 130 Inch full Wall tv and it's bright enough for me. Put my Surround sound system on it, and i'm smilie every day....

[@MrRudeDog100]

Thanks for a great review. For a sound option, I've found that a decent set of computer speakers, as long as their is also a sub-wooer with the set. Just plug them into the headphone jack of the projector. I've been using them for quite some time with my Alexa Dot and with that, you do not need an expensive stereo system.

[@5-0pizza]

Great video Steve!!. It's nice to see a good quality projector for an affordable price. I might be interested in something like this now they are affordable.

[@SteveDOES]

I feel like my video doesn't do the reality of owning a projector justice. This is a really good projector but, any projector setup is awesome. Every time i have someone over i surprise them with the garage setup and they're always blown away. I always thought good projectors were $1,000+.. apparently not. :)This might be my favorite item of 2019.

[@5-0pizza]

@@SteveDOES Yeah, I've always assumed projectors needed to be thousands to be amazing quality.... so for around 250 that's worth it.

[@iivindictiveii6601]

So with the V630 already being out, and priced less than the V620 at the time of writing this comment, I would love to know the differences!

[@trentl3492]

Comments I have come across say the 630 fans are louder and some say the power cord falls out too easy.

Screw the projector where did you get that table.

[@timperry8961]

How is edge to edge sharpness? Colors look rich. Most projectors in that range are not great reproducing colors

[@SteveDOES]

Edges have some blur to it.

[@kierand9410]

What far back from the screen was the projector in the garage?

[@26icky]

Yes could we get a little more info on the screen please, model etc... great review on projector thanks

[@mikecountryman2218]

I can’t get the volume loud enough. We are using Firestick for video input, and have an external speaker hooked up using the 3.5mm jack. Volume is all the way up on projector as well as the speaker, just not loud enough. The speaker we are using...when running iPhone through it, the volume is fine, so not a limitation of the speaker. Thinking something with the Firestick is the issue. Any advice or guidance?

[@Falconurbex]

My screen is always green no matter what cilors i change have u got any idea why this is happening ive tried to contact them but carnt find a number

[@epoen2012]

Have you used a sound bar on it?

[@patricksarker]

I have this projector hooked up to an old Kenwood receiver and old bose speakers. Sounds great.

[@mukeshgupta2537]

@@patricksarker How you connect to bose ...I have sono's but it take only HDMI ...and i tried to connect HDMI to HDMI ...but it didn't worked ...Not sure how to add external sound system to it .

[@patricksarker]

@@mukeshgupta2537 Use an audio cable from projector (out) to receiver. Or if you're using a DVD player/ media player, connect audio straight to the receiver from the media player.

[@Falconurbex]

What settngs do u have all ur settings on as no matter what i keep getting a green screen

[@rtbarshaw3766]

Does it have a rear projection mode?

[@robthorne2077]

How the heck do i mount this to the ceiling? It’s got rubber feet where most projectors have screw holes. I tried prying them out but I don’t want to break anything

[@kenndeaux317]

Can you hookup a Smart Tv to this..?

[@SteveDOES]

Like hook up an actual TV to the projector? Probably not. It's my understanding that TV's just input signals from other devises and don't export out signals. However, you can buy a Fire TV Stick, Roku, Chrome Cast, or Apple TV to connect to the projector and get that smart TV experience.

[@jonathanbiller2029]

Hi i have a 120 inch sxreen will 13 feet be far enough away to fit the screen

If i have this projector can i connect my Chromecast to the hdmi and from audio out go to amplifier with speaker setup

[@king_42]

HI! Is this better than the VANKYO V630?

[@TheMeefive]

Ochoo has the exact projector for $185 on Amazon. The Goodee YG620 is not as bright but has a better color wheel. Unfortunately it developed a yellowish spot after 5 months of intense usage.

[@lornemclean]

Hi, can someone tell me how far back I need to place the Vankyo 630 from the wall to achieve a clear 6' foot (72 inch) wide image? Is the Vankyo a short throw projector?

[@patricksarker]

This projector does not support 3d, does it?

[@adangbe]

V630? Would love a review of that too!

[@trentl3492]

The reviews/comments i have seen rate it worse than the 620. Louder fan(s), loose power cord plug are the two i remember

Anyone else connecting to a pc and it showing only 50hz? If so how do you get the projector to display 60hz?

So overall does this projector give you 300" inches ? and how Good exactly is the sound?

[@littleripper312]

Watch the video bro...

[@gregory2421]

Geat review I was wondering if you could help me with something very important there seems to be a lot of people complaining, including this one review or saying that the lag time on this is extremely bad some say it's 30 Hertz have you found this to be true. One reviewer went as far as to say you're better off sticking with the VANKYO 600 for has better response time.

[@djfreddycee]

That was between the 630 and the 600; not the 620 and the 600

[@jejeroy]

This projector is 60hz good for gaming but have only a color depth of 8bit it's not HDR so sometimes the color is not accurate but overall it's a good projector but I would go for a v630 for it's keystone adjustment features the focus is also hard to align

[@TXAggieDad]

Take it out to your backyard and enjoy movies under the stars... your kids will love it!

[@SteveDOES]

I've had a few people tell me that. I have all the PVC piping, i just need to put it all together. :)

[@obinnaStudio]

Just got the v630 would love to see the difference. I know that the blur at the edge is gone and you get up to 180 inch in 7 feet

[@GamerDan89]

The fan noise has to be decreased but some guys say that it has horrible input delay :(

[@thesilentobserver93]

@Alton Kilbourne - " 6000 Lux" is in the product description on Amazon. For one, projector manufacturers don't use lux to measure light output, they use lumens. For two, there is no way in HELL that this cheap projector is producing 6000 lumens of light when even most, if not all, name brand projectors don't get that high in output. And yes, these cheap Chinese specials are known for having really high input latency, or lag.

[@petemilliet9694]

[@hooey28]

Connect to Milwaukee speaker so that you can get that thump you want for the movie theater experience 🎉

[@hanklandsberg8247]

Thanks for the informative review. I bought a V620 a few weeks ago...and mine has the same problem with the audio as yours. Not enough level! Just like you, when connected to an external amp, with the V620 volume AND amp volume set to maximum, the volume level is just barely acceptable. If you plug headphones into the V620, you can barely hear anything. Vankyo obviously has a design error here!....too bad, since the projector is excellent in every other regard. As an audio design engineer, I'm working on a fix for this.....

[@chiraqbandogsyukonmastiff6466]

These are reflectors and not real projectors. They are not for a real movie night experience. It's more like a kids projector. Would never buy one as they are cheap Chinese toys.

[@chriscarswell450]

I've had mine for over 2 years and I beg to differ. They are awesome 👌

[@blackgunner4594]

@@chriscarswell450 I've had my matchbox cars since 1977 and they are still Chinese toys. Get an older model Panasonic 1080p 2013-2018 model and compare the image quality. I'm just saying that you will be amazed. Resolution of 1920x1200 wuvga looks like you are running a 4k projector. DLP projectors are my personal preference.

[@NoName-zi9qs]

BS review. Manual keystone correction on these cheap China projectors will cause distortion and out of focus around the edges. You don't know the difference between flux and lumen or even ANSI lumen, which these China projectors avoid giving.
