    Hello, I got the Nexigo PJ20 because of this video and I will say that it's just OK. Got it for home use and it is very loud, so when it is behind the couch you can hear constant buzzing. It's quite large and the plug adds an additional 5 cm behind because of it's thickness. It says the projection range is 1.2-6.4, but actually only a very specific distance works, about 4 metres. The focus isn't great: you can manually rotate the incline, but if you do, then the sides of the image are very blurry, making it impossible to read subtitles (so we have a focused but slanted image). The other focus option on the remote opens a blue image every time you press it, but it actually isn't great for finding the right focus, so you have to wait until your original image opens to check the focus. The Wifi connection option lags (in Germany) for watching movies, we bought an HDMI cable, then it's good. The sound is so-so, we use a speaker. Also one thing we didn't consider is that you cannot control the image or sound from the remote, you still need your laptop nearby. Overall, I would have been happier with a more compact and portable projector, with a better speaker, worse image, but quieter.

      No doubt things start getting interesting around the $600 level, unfortunately for some people spending 4x the cost is just not in the cards. I was pretty impressed by this price point, but they were obviously not that good compared to my $700 BENQ or my $2500 xGimi, I'm always just looking to find value, meaning the best you can do at a specific price point.

    Before COVID I had 2 monitors in my office. Now working from home and with very little room, I am stuck with my laptop monitor. I am thinking I could use a small, portable projector to connect to my HP Elitebook and send the signal as my second monitor and project off the wall behind my desk. With this I can use wherever I set up my work and portability is a benefit. The side benefit as a portable projector for movies is also a benefit. I know this is not what they are intended for but with tiny home offices and space, innovation is the word. Thank you - Wade

The noise floor in my room was too high to test 18" away, but right next to the projector it was 75dB. If others were louder than that, you definitely saved me the hassle of returning them.

The conclusion I have come to is that your $700 (now 750 due to inflation) benq projector really is the answer. It works during day/night, has a good picture, is quiet and low input lag. Yet its nothing crazy like a $2000 4k screen. It just works without any nonsense. Thank you again for this incredibly well made video, you really are helping many choose the right products.

    Love your subjective testing. My sample of the nexigo PJ20 failed the focus test miserably. Way worse than you found. After raising the bar a little to the DB Power RD828, and trying 3 of them before giving up, ive found the biggest issue amongst these budget projectors is quality control, or rather the complete lack of ! All of these showed image irregularities from not being assembled in a clean room. Hairs, dirt and dead pixels - one of them had something rattling around inside it. Get what you pay for i guess !

The downside is the perimeter of the image is pretty blurry, it's not very bright, and the one I bought had transparent splotches in the image right out of the box.

      @karlsjostedt8415 2 года назад

      Not all DLP projectors are as bad. If the color wheel is fast enough then the rainbow effect is diminished, if the colors flicker slower then the effect gets worse... My first projector bothered me off and on but the more recent one has never bothered me... LCD pixels take a lot of time to darken which leaves a trail effect plus more light is lost with the three LCD panels so each tech has their drawbacks...

My family and I packed 10 bags of medicine and clothing and headed over to a remote part of Cuba. A small country town with little resources and a very small community. Cuba recently has been going through extreme power outrages and that part of the Country has been getting 2hours of electricity most days. I just bought two generators and donated them to the church in town. One for the church to continue their services and another one for the church to lend out for special situations like funerals, etc. the people of the town can’t hardly sleep due to the heat In the evenings and the youth has very little entertainment. I wanted to buy a some type of projector that is affordable to donate to the town for movie nights. Im hoping this will bring the community together some nights with hopeful movies and give the youth entertainment. Im not good with electronics and I have little idea on what to buy. I saw your videos on RUclips and I was hoping for some advice and ideas. I would like to keep my budget to $500 of all the stuff I would need to buy. I know is not much but I’m hoping you can advice me on a okay company or even second hand suggestions. I am doing all this myself so it’s expensive to travel to cuba etc. truly appreciate any advice on what’s out there in the market that can give me the posibility to get a big screen image on a wall for them to watch movies etc. thank you in advance for your time and response

    Your reviews are fantastic. I am in the middle of a budget garage golf simulator build. I have a 20 yr old NEC that would need to be moved to 20+ feet to project on a 12 ft w x 9 ft h impact screen. great projector in its day but Obviously need an upgrade. Garage will be dimly lit , any recommendations on projector for my situation. love for it to be much closer that 20 ft from screen if possible .
    Thank you again.

      Oddly enough I'm about 2 weeks into my budget garage simulator build. I'm using the Epson C0-W01: amzn.to/3k85N9m it's crazy bright for the cost and it uses WXGA resolution which is good for me because my screen is closer to 4:3 than 16:9. It's on sale for $299 right now.

    • @TheHookUp
      @TheHookUp  Год назад +2

      Throw ratio on it is 1.24, so you'd need to be about 15ft back for a 12ft wide screen. If you need closer than that I'd recommend the BENQ TH671ST: amzn.to/3X2fh4C

    I have the Brilens native 1080p $145 on Amazon. That makes it less expensive than your top 3, and as an added bonus it has a shorter throw than most of those higher priced budget projectors. I get a 154 inch screen from 13 feet. I find that most of the other native 1080 p projectors in the$150_$300 price range are bulky with huge lenses which limits the maximum size screen you can get in a small room. I notice that you didn't factor in the size of the casing.

    Thanks loads for this but the vaabzz is currently not available and we need a low-cost projector to give lessons in a classroom in rural Ghana. it needs to be cordless because they don't have electricity there and it needs enough lumens to see in a low-light room. ideally, it can project from a laptop. Thanks for your assist. I need to make a purchase in the next few days so quick reply would be most helpful.

    Is it just me, or the reference video has the "orb" and the "lights" as white, and the projectors are all sort of blueish?

    • @TheHookUp

      True whites are very hard for projectors to convey, also the gray ambient light rejecting screen adds a slight blue hue. Still, some were more blue than others and I tried to judge that.

      Curious when you bought it. According to Vaabzz and a bunch of other users there was a 1 month period where units with the faulty panels were being delivered. As of 2/05/2022 I believe all of the issues are fixed. If you got a projector in that ~1 month time frame from 12/25 to 2/05 you should be able to contact Vaabzz for a replacement.

      Basically I searched amazon for projectors in the $100-200 price range and then reached out to each of the manufacturers to see if that was still the most current model. In the case of the VAABZZ it just randomly showed up at my house about 3 weeks after the rest of the projectors, I had to figure out who it was from. Turns out Vivibright sent me a second projector that they just released, and it is basically the exact same as a the Vivibright but better.
      In the event that a manufacturer didn't respond or send a review unit I bought them myself (which was only the case with Wimius, who did respond but didn't speak enough English for us to communicate). None of the brands paid any money for special treatment, they just sent out review units.
