Walmart has the RCA RPJ167 1080P 450 ANSI lumen LED projector for $65 free shipping

This item is now on clearance so who knows how long they will still have it before it runs out.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/RCA-10...1812141904


This price is only $5 higher than BF price. This projector is of course significantly higher than the sold-out RPJ280 ($30) but you get a significantly higher lumen with THREE female HDMI ports (instead of only 2 female HDMI, one male HDMI within a weird recess on the RPJ280)
  • 50,000hr LED lamp life
  • Also has two USB 2.0 to power stream stick as well as to plug in the flash drive to show movies and listen to music
  • Has two 5W speakers. Not very loud but will work decently for quiet environment.
  • I have this as well as the RPJ280 and I think the price premium of the RPJ167 over the RPJ280 is worth it. You do get a better built product in the RPJ167 compared to the RPJ280
  • There is also a 4K interpolation mode that allows this projector to emulate 2160p at 30hz. Found this out when connecting it to my laptop.

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!

Yes, otherwise the lamp lifetime wouldn't be 50,000 hrs.

Just got mine. I'm pleasantly surprised!

I own a BenQ HT2050A but I want a cheap projector for outdoor movie nights. I've tried a couple of no-name ones from Amazon and one of them was decent enough, but only lasted about a year before the keystone stopped working due to ultra cheap plastic materials. The other Amazon one was junk and all the specs were a lie, including resolution.

This feels substantial, comes with a hefty power brick, and the video quality was immediately miles better than the cheap Amazon ones I've tried. Color accuracy isn't perfect, but quality is fine right out of the box without feeling like you have to calibrate it immediately (although I will eventually fine-tune it in the settings). On the Amazon ones I've tried the colors and contrast made them unwatchable right out of the box and the worse one couldn't even be calibrated enough to justify keeping it.

It is not super bright, but I'd say the claimed 450 ANSI lumens seems accurate. Bright enough for backyard use for sure, but not really bright enough to use during daytime with the blinds shut.

One downside is the fans are super loud - I can hear them over my soundbar at a moderate volume level. Not a dealbreaker for me at all, but worth mentioning. The other thing is that the keystone adjustment is extremely limited, so placement options are limited.

Most important is that resolution, contrast, and color accuracy out of the box were surprisingly in line with the claimed specs and I was able to plug in a TV stick and start enjoying it with zero setup. Very happy with this purchase!

How's keystoning? Does it have a lot of range? Does it get blurry in the corners?

Not great. It only does vertical, and it claims 15 degrees, but feels like less than that. I had to max it out and also break out my tripod projector stand to give it a little more elevation than where I normally set my projector in order to get good alignment.

Focus does fade a bit at the corners/edges. Not bad enough to be noticeable at all while watching movies, but I did notice it while looking for something to watch. It's really not bad at all, though, and I think I can minimize it with proper placement since I think the keystone use at maximum is likely to blame.

Good to hear you like yours too. I have both this one and the $30 RPJ280 and i definitely think that this being $35 more expensive is definitely worth the premium. it is slightly louder than the RPJ280 but the improvement in built quality, lumen and corner focus is worth it.

I try to not use keystone even with my Sharp and LG projectors. There is always gonna be some artefacts introduced when you use keystone, esp at extreme ranges.

Did you connect to a computer? I want to get your take also on the 4K 30hz interpolation mode on this projector. What you think of this unlisted feature?

i have ths thing and the keystoning is the most annoying thing about it. Very limited keystone, like almost worthless. i like most things about it, but if you need keystone adjustments, it's incredibly limited. i've got a handful of cheap projectors and they are all pretty crappy in many ways, but their keystone is better than this thing.

It's only 720p. most stuffs are now 1080p so you are downgrading yr resolution. But i do like the fact that it's DLP so you probably get a bit better contrast but some people are susceptible to rainbow artefacts
