Where the money goes into light instead of pixels · review
The entry point of this catalogue: a 1080p machine with electric focus, automatic keystone and Android on board, whose brightness the maker does not state in a measured unit.
The bottom line The cheapest way to find out whether you want a projector — self-contained, quick to set up, and impossible to compare on brightness because the maker does not publish a comparable figure.
Setup. Electric focus, automatic keystone correction and a rotating foot mean the machine can be put on a table, aimed roughly, and left to sort itself out. On a projector that will be moved between rooms or taken outdoors, that matters more than a specification.
Brightness, in any measured unit. That is the central specification of a projector, and its absence means this machine cannot be placed on the same scale as one stating ANSI lumens. This page reports the absence rather than repeating an unqualified figure, because there is no conversion between the two.
The projector accepts a 4K signal and displays it at 1080p. Useful — a source can be left at its native output — and not a 4K panel.
Keystone squares a tilted image digitally, and every degree of correction costs a little sharpness. The machine will look its best placed square to the surface with the correction at zero, which is true of every projector and easiest to forget on one that corrects itself.
A surface. Even at this price, a plain pull-down screen improves the picture more than the next tier of machine would, because flatness, uniformity and a black border are things a wall does not have.

It is convenient and it is not free. Digital keystone squares a tilted image by resampling it, which costs sharpness — the more correction applied, the softer the result. It is a rescue for a few degrees, and placing the machine square to the screen is always better than correcting for not having done so.
A good image in a dark room on a modest size, and a disappointing one in daylight. That is the honest boundary of this price tier, and no listing states it. As a first projector to establish whether the idea works in your home, it does that job.
Full HD 1 920 × 1 080 · 5 200 ANSI lumens · 10 000:1 stated contrast · 3D · keystone
The brightest machine in this catalogue by its stated figure — 5 200 ANSI lumens — which is what makes a 1080p projector work in a room you cannot darken.
Best for: A room with daylight, or a very large image, where light matters more than pixel count.
≈ £509 / 527 €
Native 1080p · Netflix and Dolby support stated · smart system built in
A compact 1080p projector sold on its built-in applications rather than on its optics — which makes the licensing question, not the brightness figure, the thing to check.
Best for: A second room or an occasional setup, where a self-contained machine matters more than a comparable specification.
≈ $100 / £95 / 120 €
Full HD 1080p · 1 200 ANSI lumens · 4K signal accepted · 5G Wi-Fi · Bluetooth · up to 300-inch image
A 1080p projector that states 1 200 ANSI lumens — a measured unit at a price where the shelf usually does not — and that accepts a 4K signal without displaying one.
Best for: A first projector in a room that can be darkened, for someone who wants a large image without a large budget.
≈ 133 €
