This thing is definitely NOT trash. obviously the construction is cheaper than my 720p Sharp DLP projector that i bought for $1500 several years ago. But it's definitely usable. For one thing, a lot of the toy amazon projectors are just 360p or 480p native resolution pretenders that basically just trying to pass by as 1080p.

This is definitely not one of those. This one even has a usable 2160p 30hz emulation as an unlisted feature





The corner blur issue is definitely less of the issue on this one compared to the RPJ280. I also have the Vankyo V620 which does have the corner blur issue.

Of all the three cheap projectors, this one is definitely the best one IMO

I don't have this projector, but I have a Vankyo V700W that I got off of eBay for like $37.00 that has basically the same specs as this. Comparable lumens, sound output, etc... Absolutely it's a toy, but it can be really fun, honestly, provided you know what you're getting and keep your expectations tempered. I project a 100" image to a pull down screen I have in my family room. It probably throws 100" from maybe roughly 10 ft? I'd have to measure it to be sure. Picture quality for what I have is pretty good. Decent color reproduction, decently bright, and 3.5mm out to my sound bar in the room makes the sound issue negligible. Whatever you do you'd definitely want to make sure you have an external sound device.

Image gets soft/out of focus around the corners, and I'd expect that's going to be standard on any projector in this price range. I've hooked an Xbox Series S up to it and had a lot of fun playing Elden Ring and Hogwarts Legacy at 100". It's immersive in a way that smaller TVs just can't match. Obviously there's a hit to picture quality vs whatever 4K TV you currently have, but again just going in with your expectations at reasonable levels I think most anyone would enjoy it for what it is. I get mine out any time were doing a movie night at home and it's just fun, and everyone likes being at the "theater".

Anyway, I hope that helps and feel free to ask any other questions!

well, it's good to see projectors getting a lot cheaper. Hopefully we will get a true 4K projector under $100 soon!

I'm debating getting this so that I can help evaluate what screen size I want before pulling the trigger on thousands for another projector. Are these actually usable or more like toys?

If you darken the room as much as possible - quite useable to evaluate screen size.

It would be nice, but decent 4K projectors are rarely under $1000 new, so it may be 5+ years before we see anything like that.

This is junk right? I mean I know it is for the price. But has anyone tested this before. I don't want to look up on YouTube

I was more thinking if I'd have any use for it after I have a real setup. Movie nights in the backyard or something or if this is just trash.

I picked up the lower spec RPJ280 before it sold out, and it's definitely usable in a mostly dark room at 250 lumens (we had it somewhere between 100" and 120"). This one is 450, and should be that much better.

The only complaint on the RPJ280 is that there's a little blur in one corner (but for $30, it wasn't a dealbreaker).

Looks like four minature Borg ships linked together. Must buy... resistance is futile.

At this price, you couldn't reasonably build it yourself for cheaper (and yes, people do build their own projectors).

The fact that it's a lot more portable and less complex than anything you would replace it with gives it the advantage of being something you can play with.

I had a similar model mounted on an articulating tripod arm that could be pointed at the ceiling when I was confined to bed rest and it provided a decent 55"-65" picture that was plenty bright enough for basic consumption, even with moderate daylight.

Movie nights in the backyard are an obvious option, but you can also use it as a rear projector for holiday decorations like what LiFX does.

I feel like every budget projector I've seen has problems with sharpness in corners because of lens imperfections. Annoying when looking for it, but also fairly easy to ignore after a while unless of course you are projecting something where sharpness across the full length and width is critical.

Bought the same projector for $30 too and I was very surprised how good it is for $30. I got a cheapo from Amazon as a gift couple of years ago, probably around same price or even higher, and it was unusable. I have the same blur issue as you too, but still a very good deal.

the $30 projector is quite noisy. I'm wondering whether this one has the same loud fan issue.
