I bought 4 and I'm going to stack them all on the same screen so it will be 1000 lumen for $120

Walmart Free Shipping hack: Order a second, filler item for store pickup. Once the projector ships, cancel the store pickup order (or do nothing and it'll cancel on its own eventually). Don't need to go to the store or return anything.

You could use two to make a 3D projector. How cool is that?

i dont know anything about projectors. but im very happy with this. making about a 40in size screen i can see the projection fine in a lit room. looks 1080 to me. like most cheap TVs the blacks are completely nonexistent. but anything normally lit looks good. the lens controls do allow you to clear up the image pretty well but they are finnicky to adjust right. this can make a clear massive projection but i dont have a good wall for that atm. fan is loud. speaker is serviceable. im pretty impressed by this thing. I look forward to trying switch games on this with the kids. as a spare TV for guests, partys, kids, movies. this is slick af. might give wide angle lens a try for short throw esq usage and just live with the barrel blur and aberration. its about 60mm.

Looks projector normally has a lifetime of 2000 hours while a LED TV has 40000 hours. Anyone knows how much is the replacement lamp?

The LED lamp on this projector is rated for 50,000 hours. It will likely not be the first thing to fail on this projector. The 2 year warranty is $3.50.

I got one of these to use with a Firestick for outdoor movies and a basement theater. The picture quality is suprisingly good if you use a movie screen. It's bright enough to be seen in a moderately lit room.

For $29 it's a no-brainer.

I'm pretty sure he would need 3 to make 3D. If he buys 4, he can have a 4D.

The actual LCD on this will burn out in about 6 months to a year, so the LED bulb is the least of your worries. These are basically e-waste. When you see brown spots on the screen, throw the projector away.

The way these work is that there is a transparent LCD screen (think a cell phone screen delaminated from the backlight) that they shine the LED through, which is then focused by the lens. Even though it is an LED it still gets REALLY hot, and eventually burns the LCD. They are not repairable when this happens.

At $29 I can't argue with this - it's super cheap to try out and see if you like it. Focus isn't going to be great, and keystone adjustment is going to be a joke. It's effectively a toy, and can do an ok job for a while. I'd personally recommend getting a used projector from an actual brand name - BenQ, Epson, and Optoma are the most common projector brands. Both BenQ and Optoma use DLP technology, while Epson uses LCD. This can make a difference with the "rainbow effect" that some people are susceptible to from the spinning color wheel in a DLP projector.

This will not work well at all in any lighted condition. 250 lumens is insanely low. But for an actual native 1080p res for 30 bucks this is worth it if you have a kids room or basement that you can darken sufficiently.
Quote from IDAnonymous :
I been debating a projector for a small kid. seems like indirect light is better for their eyes but it would be used in a room with some lights during the day. 1800 lumens projector get pretty washed out during the day. kind of tempted to buy this and try it. I wonder if 250 lumens brightness might be enough if I put it closer to wall/smaller screen. walmart has good return policy.
FYI: "ANSI lumens" are not the same as regular (old) lumens. So this might be like 2000 lumens.

But manufacturers don't standardize this very well, so who knows.

That's still 1000 movies for $29. I'm okay with spending under 4 cents on the projector every time I watch TV.
