    I own 3 projectors. But I swear, I’ll never buy another one until they come with an easy access door to get to the place that needs to be occasionally cleaned. I’m taking about dust.

  5. @drackse1748 on September 11, 2025 at 11:46 pm

    I need an update! Did anything change? New projectors? Major price changes?

  6. @andreweverett on September 11, 2025 at 11:47 pm

    Thank you, I see Ankler Nebula Mars II Pro is highly popular because it is a portable projector in a unique design.

    Hi, how to check the refreshrate? There is not any site that knows these specs of their product

  13. @toddroy9558 on September 11, 2025 at 11:59 pm

    What about using a black screen. What kind of picture will you get?

  14. @debrabeaupeurt1231 on September 12, 2025 at 12:01 am

    thank you very much, a great review. First time user of a projector. I would like to buy a projector for outside use and project on a large roll down screen. Not really sure about the screen either, any help would be appreciated.

  15. @abdullahussien6683 on September 12, 2025 at 12:01 am

    i am a believer in projectors. i love the size and colors of the screen that it shows. to me once you try a good projector you’ll never go back to tv’s perfect for movies and sports actions nothing compares to them they out perform tv’s big time!

  16. @projectorexpert4068 on September 12, 2025 at 12:02 am

    I bought 7 Chinese projectors. Currently the one is still in use is Wimius K1 projector. It has been used for more than one year, and the quality is very good. All others were broken at most 6 months.
    Never regret to take one Wimius projector.

  20. @Gottagoseejoe on September 12, 2025 at 12:05 am

    What do you think about TMY Projector 7500 Lumens with 100" Projector Screen, 1080P Full HD Supported Portable Projector, Mini Movie Projector Compatible with TV Stick Smartphone HDMI USB AV, for Home Cinema & Outdoor Movies on Amazon?

  21. @SheikAshii on September 12, 2025 at 12:07 am

    To use in a room with a dimmed light, is 6000 lumins enough? Should I go for 8?

  22. @spelvox on September 12, 2025 at 12:07 am

    I now watched a bunch of videos about projectors and spend hours trying to find one that’s best for me…. I have a budget of about 400euros for the projector itself, I would like to have it 1080p and good brightness and as good of colors as possible but most importantly for me is the fan can’t be to extremely loud cuz I’ll sit right under the projector. If possible low latency cuz I would like to play games as well. I dont care about sound cuz i have great speakers. The projector will be parallel on a shelf about 290cm/9.5feet/114inches away from the projector screen and I have trouble figuring out how big the screen will be, I don’t want it to be too big so it’s on the floor and zoom decreases the resolution… One that I have my eye on is the NexiGo PJ20 but there now is a PJ30 and it’s basically just brighter. One that is basically perfect is the Optoma HD146X but the cheapest one is up for about 630bucks which is a bit much for me but might be doable when I close one eye… I would very much appreciate any help and recommendations that I can get! Thank you very much!

  23. @nofearslayer8740 on September 12, 2025 at 12:08 am

    I got a great projector and just for 50 dollars

    Thank you for your comprehensive overview. God bless you.

    Some LG is best mid range and Sony is super high range professional one

    What do you think of the viewsonic m2e? I’m in the Advertising field, I’m looking for something portable and good image quality for presentation.

  29. @paullauren6057 on September 12, 2025 at 12:20 am

    Smart projectors like XGIMI are easy to set up and vey convenient, I’d definitely choose a projector over a TV.

  30. @joeldipu6754 on September 12, 2025 at 12:22 am

    My father wanted to give away our old projector , but I convinced him not to.

  31. @marvinabugov4579 on September 12, 2025 at 12:24 am

    This could be the year where tv’s at 86 inches crossover into 100” projector screen size?. Just measured the diagonal distance difference between the two — and I can live with it, surprisingly. I am thinking a: Sony 86” X95K mini-led might be the true 4k tv to get the job done with all the improvements to Sony tv processing power — without all the hassles of projectors regarding overall lumen brightness, panel alignment, calibration issues, colour volume etc. and bulb replacement etc.

  32. @happybenjful on September 12, 2025 at 12:26 am

    Im a rare one that loves 3d. Projectors are amazing.

  33. @rob-in-the-marsh5311 on September 12, 2025 at 12:26 am

    The one thing I needed to know was not covered. What is the minimum typical screen size if I want to trace some photos onto canvas?

  34. @delliscool4924 on September 12, 2025 at 12:27 am

    Projectors are not good for university education, a big flat screen on the wall + proffessor laptop or tablet + bluetooth connection will do fine in any school

  35. @sbf432 on September 12, 2025 at 12:28 am

    Hey I have a 100×100 inch screen I need a short throw that will fill it out the best? What ratio would be the best

  36. @wolfe1970 on September 12, 2025 at 12:29 am

    So you said alot of nothing……still none the wiser

  37. @buffoongoon3412 on September 12, 2025 at 12:29 am

    What do you think about an epson ex 7280? For home and office?

  38. @rowdnei13 on September 12, 2025 at 12:29 am

    Im about to buy the NEBULA Proyector 4K as my first proyector.
    it’s going to be in the ceiling, about 3.5 meters from thw wall. I hope it does well

  39. @tournick7274 on September 12, 2025 at 12:30 am

    Cool, but gives 0 ideas what to buy.

  40. @mr_sho_nuf1054 on September 12, 2025 at 12:30 am

    Hey, sorry to bother you. But I needed alil help and you seem super knowledgeable in the subject, I’m in the market for a projector for a dedicated ht room with a budget of 3000 dollar, which projector would you buy if you were me? And I don’t know if I’m willing to deal with the 5050 ub with its cheap light bulb and its fake 4k, but it seems like it’s the one that everyone recommends, is there something that would best it or is it really the best

  41. @mermaidengine on September 12, 2025 at 12:30 am

    Are there any projectors on today’s market that don’t produce any heat or have a fan, perhaps an LED bulb?

  42. @loissnowden9093 on September 12, 2025 at 12:31 am

    Do you need to buy a screen or can you use the wall

  43. @Slabagool on September 12, 2025 at 12:33 am

    Hundred inch screens are very addictive

  44. @garyharper2943 on September 12, 2025 at 12:33 am

    Wrong I went from a Benq 2050A to a Benq HT 3550. The hdr colors are a major improvement.

  45. @DJRobbie54 on September 12, 2025 at 12:34 am

    A projector is nice, if you can find the right one for your needs, otherwise I would rather have a big screen TV.

  46. @archiegupta3857 on September 12, 2025 at 12:36 am

    Hello Everyone. I have a 120 * 100 inch symmetric curved wall in my room. My room is normally dark as it has big thick curtains. I have never used a projector before. I am not looking for a very costly projector. This place where I stay is in my hometown and I may shift next year. So looking for a portable projector may be. I am definitely sure I don’t want to mount the projector anywhere in the room. So shall I go for portable projectors. But all of them come with a speaker if I am not wrong and they also have a small resolution.

  47. @mosheandlena on September 12, 2025 at 12:36 am

    any projector for 70 ft distance? outdoor /indoor ? thx

  48. @Fitforacting on September 12, 2025 at 12:37 am

    @4:26 I would have edited that one out 😂 Jo. Great review. I want a gaming projector for console under $1000

  49. @Edward135i on September 12, 2025 at 12:38 am

    "Modern Projectors are cheap" LOL, go look at the prices of native 4k ones.

  50. @scotttild on September 12, 2025 at 12:38 am

    The issues with the lesser expensive models is they are not true 4k they are fake using pixel shifting. That’s why they are cheaper.
