You should create a solid backdrop for the screen capture environment. A friend of mine has an expensive picture frame with a solid center. She shines the projector directly into it. It looks very nice, and the picture is stable. I think she uploaded a YT video of it.
I own this same projector the picture quality is exactly like the one shown in this video it is a good projector for the price and yes!! he is indeed using the projector he is talking about !! for cheaper priced projectors this is top of the line !!!
I have the uc40 and uc50. both are pretty much the same except for size and the uc40 has keystone function and I can tell you both give very very near HD quality as long as you are playing 1080p video through it. also a good screen probably helps with HD look as well as a dark room. I have a new full HD 60inch tv in my living room and when I'm watching this in my bedroom at around 3 times the size I don't feel I'm missing out on much by not viewing on my true HD TV. I think for the money they cost now(50 dollars for uc40 and 100 for uc50) it's a steal and what u get for that price is unbelievable.
I wouldn't exactly call this a home theater system without (external) speakers, AVR, and an optical disc player added to your system. I feel those three additional items are part of what make up a home theater system. Still cool though, I have a 3M cheapo projector which is a lot of fun to mess around with!
this is a great idea and as always there are ways that you can enhance this cheap system add a old shelf system to (cheap surround sound) and some dark window shades and bam!!
Nice,.....I love my Klipsch speakers. I only have Klipsch Pro media 2.1 hooked up to my PC. However I am using an Sound Blaster Audigy 2zs with live drive. I have toslink cable hooked up to my old Yamaha 5.1 receiver and cheap Dayton bookshelf speakers as surrounds. ( I hope to upgrade to Klipsch surrounds someday, I need about $1500 ) However my system sounds pretty good for being a cheap setup. A Behringer UCA-202 USB adapter is also a good inexpensive way to connect a PC to AV receiver for true 7.1 or atmos surround sound. I use an Nvidia GT 610 graphics with 2 HDMI connections to my 60"-TV and the other to my monitor display which is a 32-inch TV. works Great for 1080p.
It might be ok for the kids' room. The ethical issue is how misleading and deceptive the marketing us for these products. If you were to take it at face value then you'd have to conclude that these are great home theater projectors that only sacrifice a little bit of features in exchange for a low price. The reality is that they sacrifice a LOT in order to be cheap. In most cases, too much to be usuable.
+Juan Perez yes! you can connect a speaker to the hedphone jack, or you can buy a Bluetooth receiver and plug it to the projector and then pair the projector with a Bluetooth speaker!
I appreciate what he's doing, but yeah something isn't right. Not to mention, what am I going to hear the movie through (the creator of the video even recommends against using the speakers built in to the projector)? Or is sound just optional? lol You should really spend about as much on audio as you do video, not an infinite ratio ;)
+Sean Ong SEAN, I JUST ORDERED THE SAME EXACT PROJECTOR YOU SHOW ON YOUR VIDEO I WAS IMPRESSED BY HOW CLEAR AND BRIGHT IT LOOKED ORDERED FROM AMAZON FOR 75.00 DOLLARS PLUS 2 YEAR CARE PLAN INSURANCE EXCITED BOUT GETTING IT SOON QUESTION DOE;S IT REALLY LOOK AS GOOD AS IT SHOWS ON YOUR VIDEO???? CURIOUS -GARY FALL RIVER MA.
Thanks for all the great ideas. I did order the mount and the projector but having trouble getting the bracket on the projector. Any ideas thanks again
I've ordered the FastFox uc40. I guess it's basically the same thing. It has the "Unic" watermark in the top right corner. An hour after using it, the picture started showing lines and the color faded to a grey. Amazon is sending a replacement. I'm still trying to figure out the whole speaker and Apple TV thing. It doesn't play sound with Apple TV. Sweet setup dude!
few questions . how did you mount it? wall anchors? do you use this regularly? what picture settings are you using? I just bought another brand. pretty much the same just rebranded. do you agree the pic looks a little muddy?
Badgerman C Yes, you can see it plugged in during one of my shots showing the projector mounted. I also plugged the USB into the side of the projector to give it power.
Great video, I favorited it so when I saved enough money I could use this video as a reference, what with everything being linked in the description. But, could you please confirm that the budget projector is indeed the one being used in this video and not the 300+ replacement projector in your xbox theater set up. Thanks.
Thanks for the video, this was a judgmental video for me... :D I bought it from amazon at a discounted price... but i am stuck with the the wall mount. It would be very nice if you could put up a video on how did u manage to hook it up to an ceiling mount...? Thanks in advance... :)
i bought a projector for $60 on gearbest.com and its has been the best ever. Note that it was on sale and would have originally ran me a little over $100 so great gift idea for the holidays as that when it goes on sale. I love it. and as far as the screen goes here's a better and cheaper screen and it pops up and can be taken down. I use a queen blow up mattress and a fitted sheet. instant screen.
Hello Sean, I recently purchased one these specific projector thanks your recommendation. I would like to know if there is any way to connect this projector to a Bluetooth speaker or speakers & if there is any mount out in the market that allows you to mount other things simultaneously. Thanks
Thank you for posting this video! I think I want an HD projector, any suggestions? I purchased a home theater sound system and thought why stop there? After all it's only money.... Seriously gonna get sent to sleep in the garage if I spent a lot more on a projector and screen mounts and so on so any help is greatly appreciated. I have also purchased a blu ray player.
man I wish I got this info sooner.. I just bought this: vod.ebay.com/vod/FetchOrderDetails?itemid=161816704554&sspagename=STRK%3AMESO%3AVPS&transid=0&viewpaymentstatus=
Please let me know if you think the visiontek vs508 projector will be a solid projector. I purchased it just trying to get by till I can get a better one. Hoping it'll be sharp like yours.
So how much money did they pay you to actually mislead the viewers about the image quality of that projector. Because the picture quality seen is obviously not 480p.
I've got the same exact projector and projector mount. How did you get it to fit the projector. By the way the projector is really dope. I've had it since December. Not one issue.
Hello Sean, I just received a UC40+ projector and the colors are not so good, and it is out of focus all around the edges. Can you help me why is that? It doesn't say Unic or UC40+ on the box. Are you having the same problems?
Hi, seriously thinking of buying this for my new house.. However when looking on Amazon it doesn't specify if it come with a remote. Does the projector come with a remote??
Please tell what projector are you using in this video? Dont say that is Taotale with 480p that one you recommend for buying. I never saw such good image on 480p, also text on the screen looks readable.
I have this projector and it's incredibly good. The only problem I'm having is a diagonal tearing on the image on fast scenes, due to refresh rate. Do you have this problem?
Hi, please give me information, I just bought uc46 locally today. The picture is blur, when I try to adjust the main part..it is clear...but the lower part becomes blur..when i adjust so that the lower part becomes clear, the top part is blur.. What do you suggest?
Hi guys, I purchased a budget projector (£50) but when I try using a firestick the logo shows but then I get a blank screen...any suggestions on how to fix this would be great.
What projector are you REALLY using in this video?
It was on sale for $300 cheaper -_- thanks pal
Exactly what I was thinking as wel..
It's on sale right now for 70 bucks lol
the lack of reply from Sean Ong says it all.
I bought a projector for 100 bucks and yes it looks great. Not top notch, certainly good enough. Everybody is alway blown away it was so cheap
i was just browsing projection videos and found yours! Thank you for not wasting my time. Thumbs up good sir
You should create a solid backdrop for the screen capture environment. A friend of mine has an expensive picture frame with a solid center. She shines the projector directly into it. It looks very nice, and the picture is stable. I think she uploaded a YT video of it.
How To Set Up A Budget Home Theater Without Sound For $200
Buy a Logitech 2.1 sound system, has a sub woofer and cost 35 dollars, or a 2020a+ and two cheap bookshelf speakers.
I got the same problem rn. How do i connect my speakers to the beamer, when there is no 3,5mm port?
Boehni29 buy and RCA to 3.1 jack or HDMI audio splitter..
A budget 2.1 does wonders: Creative SBS A320 - sg.creative.com/p/speakers/sbs-a320

I SWEAR I WAS TRYING TO FIND THE BEST LOW BUDGET 50IN TV TILL I SAW THIS. GETTING A BIG ASS SCREEN AND PROJECTOR INSTEAD. THANKS DUDE!!
Sorry but your projector Taotaole at 109.- doesn't correspond to your image on the screen. Why lie to us ?
+Foualol totally agree !absolutely !
agree!!
+Foualol but he showed us the projector mounted to the ceiling is the taotaole?
+R Graham yes it is! I have one
i tried it today, it looks great actually. I deleted my comment
I just stumbled on your video here. Dude, I dig your style. I subscribed.
I own this same projector the picture quality is exactly like the one shown in this video it is a good projector for the price and yes!! he is indeed using the projector he is talking about !! for cheaper priced projectors this is top of the line !!!
Thanks. I went on eBay and actually got everything for 108. With free shipping. Plus all the stuff I needed to set it up. All for 180. Thanks again
Great price!!!

Finally a good video with great info about this

Wonderful video Sean! Bookmarking this one for sure. I had no idea you could mirror to the fore TV stick! I wish you could do that with chromecast!
I know a friend would love this cheap set up very nice...
Nice,.....I love my Klipsch speakers. I only have Klipsch Pro media 2.1 hooked up to my PC. However I am using an Sound Blaster Audigy 2zs with live drive.

How far do you need to setup the projector to get that size?
"Native Resolution:800*480" NOPE!
+danz409 nope nope noppppppe.
+danz409 you thin
it looks great though
if you have money to go spend for 1080 native great, but this is a budget home theater which would be great for kids or basic use
It might be ok for the kids' room. The ethical issue is how misleading and deceptive the marketing us for these products.

The reality is that they sacrifice a LOT in order to be cheap. In most cases, too much to be usuable.
The picture actually looks pretty clear. thanks for all the info bud.
Can you add external speakers?
+Juan Perez yes! you can connect a speaker to the hedphone jack, or you can buy a Bluetooth receiver and plug it to the projector and then pair the projector with a Bluetooth speaker!
+Adrian Fuentes Hey, do you mean USB bluetooth dongle or some other receiver?
I like the way you explain things in all your videos I've watched and I like the sound of your voice lol
There's no way an 800x480 projector can have such a sharp image. Something's not right.
yep... he is definitely bluffing!
i agree
I appreciate what he's doing, but yeah something isn't right. Not to mention, what am I going to hear the movie through (the creator of the video even recommends against using the speakers built in to the projector)? Or is sound just optional? lol
You should really spend about as much on audio as you do video, not an infinite ratio ;)
i have an lg hs 200g projector, it has the same resolution, the picture on video is as sharp as this.
yeah
Great video Sean! Very cool
This is going to be my summer project. Can't wait!! Question: Any budget HD (720p) projectors you would recommend?
+DanielJr for 720p, I highly recommend epson. Check out my video description for links or browse amazon!
Every video you have done has been very useful. Thank you.
Valery Romanovich You are welcome!

can you ceiling mount it?
how was this projector
Thanks for all the great ideas. I did order the mount and the projector but having trouble getting the bracket on the projector. Any ideas thanks again
Thanks man this really helped can i ask how much time can a projecteur last
I've ordered the FastFox uc40. I guess it's basically the same thing. It has the "Unic" watermark in the top right corner. An hour after using it, the picture started showing lines and the color faded to a grey. Amazon is sending a replacement. I'm still trying to figure out the whole speaker and Apple TV thing. It doesn't play sound with Apple TV. Sweet setup dude!
Sean, I do have to say you would be an excellent salesman.
mastaice The funny thing is that I'm terrible at sales and business development at my regular job! Go figures.
Beautiful! An awesome set-up, this would make for a sweet editing bay!
Saw a 3200 lumen unit for @85 on Amazon. Sounds like a fun project.
Thanks for da vid. ima buy a fire tv stick + projector and setup a home teater setup!
Thats a very high definition project
Is this the real image of the product? looks very good for the price !!
Your awesome! !! Very helpful video! ! Keep it up dude!!!
great video sir . great info
adding bluetooth speakers will add better sound, working on mines tomorrow! Thanks for ideas....
Great job budget shopping !!!
thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111this helped me make a movie theater in my own room!
the projector is a rebranded unic uc 40 that is normally only 40-60 bucks on legit online stores such as gearbest, dont fall for the 100 buck one guys
Yep, and the projection this guy is showing is not the real UC40 projection. Probably some pricey DLP.
few questions . how did you mount it? wall anchors? do you use this regularly? what picture settings are you using? I just bought another brand. pretty much the same just rebranded. do you agree the pic looks a little muddy?
What do you recommend to improve the sound? Is there a way to connect to a blue tooth speaker? Also, do you have an installation video? Thanks
SUPER HELPFUL!
thank you Sean great Ideas
Thanks fam. Very helpful.
It looks very helpful I just wish I could hear it. Perhaps consider using a chest mike or something?
thx Sean its very valuable
Nice video Sean, one question, the amazon firestick was in the projector itself right?
Badgerman C Yes, you can see it plugged in during one of my shots showing the projector mounted. I also plugged the USB into the side of the projector to give it power.
Awesome video!!
Great video, I favorited it so when I saved enough money I could use this video as a reference, what with everything being linked in the description. But, could you please confirm that the budget projector is indeed the one being used in this video and not the 300+ replacement projector in your xbox theater set up. Thanks.
thanks bro for the idea
Nice tie.

Thanks for the video, this was a judgmental video for me... :D

0:45 i have the same lamp, are the shades suppose to be upside down?
i bought a projector for $60 on gearbest.com and its has been the best ever.

this video is so helpful
Good video, man!
Good one 👍 looking forward to more Gadget reviews
This video was so clutch
Thank you for posting this video! I think I want an HD projector, any suggestions? I purchased a home theater sound system and thought why stop there? After all it's only money.... Seriously gonna get sent to sleep in the garage if I spent a lot more on a projector and screen mounts and so on so any help is greatly appreciated. I have also purchased a blu ray player.
+dlvmark Epson is a great brand. I also bought a refurbished HD projector and it works great - extremely bright!
man I wish I got this info sooner..
I just bought this:
vod.ebay.com/vod/FetchOrderDetails?itemid=161816704554&sspagename=STRK%3AMESO%3AVPS&transid=0&viewpaymentstatus=
Please let me know if you think the visiontek vs508 projector will be a solid projector. I purchased it just trying to get by till I can get a better one. Hoping it'll be sharp like yours.
YOU ARE THE MAN
So how much money did they pay you to actually mislead the viewers about the image quality of that projector. Because the picture quality seen is obviously not 480p.
i already have that projector and the resolution in the video is far greater than the resolution of it.
Hz iiii
WoW what a great vid, thanks so much for this one, being smart is so hip...
I've got the same exact projector and projector mount. How did you get it to fit the projector. By the way the projector is really dope. I've had it since December. Not one issue.
+Victor Johnson Use drywall anchors - I show it briefly in my video. Glad you like it!
Nice theater. But if I had one built I would love for my Screen to be LARGER like 400-800 inches. Or like the IMAX Screen.
I'm getting this for my gaming room and how would I put the projector on the thing
I have this projector it kick ass it look like film I need to get sound bar the video look like film it has the motion of it to work good in daylight
Great option if your in a budget
Did you plug ur firestick thru ur projector or thru the reciever?
3:22 Antwerp yeah buddy!
Nice video ✌️
the projector has 800 lumens, you can find a better projector now as of december 31 2016. happy new year 2017!
Can you find a better projector as of December 5th 2020?
Awesome man
I have exactly that projector. On my media room.
It started acting up a week later though.
is there any difference in picture quality projecting into white wall vs screen ?
can I connect TV cable to this device ? And does picture will be big as projector screen ? Thank you.
Nice one Sean
How did you put the ceiling mount the projector i don't have mounting holes on my projector?
I just purchased this projector and tv stick. R u positive that the image is clear
Hello Sean,
I just received a UC40+ projector and the colors are not so good, and it is out of focus all around the edges. Can you help me why is that? It doesn't say Unic or UC40+ on the box. Are you having the same problems?
how did you get the picture so clear on your porjector?
2300-3000 ANSI Lumens is best for indoor with ambient light.
Hi, seriously thinking of buying this for my new house.. However when looking on Amazon it doesn't specify if it come with a remote. Does the projector come with a remote??
What did you use to mount that projector??? I can't attach it to the stand
Does it have adjusting features? Like height, zoom in zoom out?
how do you adjust the picture size on these cheaper projectors is it just the distance you put it up or can you zoom in and out
its weird coz your projector image look way more beautiful than mine. mind to share the image calibration?
hey Sean,great video as always,your such a happy go lucky chap !
I always enjoy your videos,informative and fun to watch,
thanks for taking the time.
thanks for video
Please tell what projector are you using in this video? Dont say that is Taotale with 480p that one you recommend for buying. I never saw such good image on 480p, also text on the screen looks readable.
This was so nice on the Xbox one.
Did it work good
Cause I'm studying if it's good for console gaming?
I have this projector and it's incredibly good. The only problem I'm having is a diagonal tearing on the image on fast scenes, due to refresh rate. Do you have this problem?
thanks i know i am reviewing a lot of negative reviews
Great vid
do you still recommend this projector???
Hi, please give me information, I just bought uc46 locally today. The picture is blur, when I try to adjust the main part..it is clear...but the lower part becomes blur..when i adjust so that the lower part becomes clear, the top part is blur.. What do you suggest?
Thank you .But it did not mention surround sound system is a basic home theater
Hi guys, I purchased a budget projector (£50) but when I try using a firestick the logo shows but then I get a blank screen...any suggestions on how to fix this would be great.
