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!

Bought one of these and just got it yesterday. I'm quite impressed with the brightness and video quality, but the fan noise is a dealbreaker for me - the setup I was using had the projector within 7 feet of where I was sitting, and the fan noise was annoying enough that it gave me a headache after about 20 minutes.

I plan on returning it because of that, but if you are less noise sensitive I still think it's a great deal.

Wont drop that low until the next technology becomes standard. If you want a cheap decent 4K, get a refurb BenQ when it goes on sale. Think it was around $350-$400, but it's pretty decent.

any specific models you'd recommend to keep an eye out for?

I got a refurb BenQ TK800 in 2019 for $760. Still using it in 2024 without any issues. It even does 3D, which is pretty fun with the kid. I think there are newer models out now but just set a SD alert for 4K projectors and wait for something good to come along.

Would you recommend TK850 or would the GP500 with the LED light source be better?

Ordered Monday, arrived today. I will admit I am surprised by the quality - pretty bright, pretty sharp (as compared to the 5-year old 1080p TVs I have in the house). Not sure what I will do with it yet. My biggest question of application is how best to connect external audio to it, as there is only a 3.5 mm output. Would love to use this in place of my aged 65" TV downstairs, but I don't want to lose the receiver and 5.1 speaker setup I've currently got going. Any suggestions?

What source(s) is your video? Hopefully your video source(s) will also have separate audio outputs via spdif or multichannels.

As long as your room has minimal light and not projecting an image bigger than 100in, this thing has fairly decent brightness.

Got mine today. I am stunned with the quality for the price. There are a couple of things that's not pleasant:
1. There's something in there causing a black shadow of a quarter, it shows up towards the bottom of the screen. I tried to turn it off and on but same result. (thinking to return and and buy a new one or followup with RCA)
2. Minor issue wire length is small(manageable)
3. It has to be exact distance away from the wall or wherever you are projecting to have the focus.

Overall pretty happy with it and picture quality and brightness is much better than what I have seen in sub $200 range

Will click a picture and share it later today. That shadow thing is so small and I like the projector, part of me thinking if I get a new one it may have similar or some other issue. This shadow shows up in the area where it shows 1080p 30hz etc in blue background(easily noticeable)

Edit:
Here are the pictures:

This thing looks ok. As another person commented, and one of the Amazon comments said also that these low-end LCD projectors are basically all the same, most are HEAVILY discounted from their "msrp" - like 50-75% off with coupon on Amazon, and many come with stuff like a bag and cloth screen. The RCA's specs are pretty good, price is just about correct, but not really a deal

Haven't gotten it yet, but I just ordered a cheap one off temu for less than $10. Good? Probably not. Good enough, like this project is good enough...I'd think so.
