Despite my wall being textured and no screen it still looks solid 300ansi 1080p 2x12w speakers
Please do suggest an upgrade which I might do later
Saudia I'm using it on 80 inches I think
Epson EB-E01 Projector – New
Barely used, excellent condition. Remote + original power cable included. Perfect working. Serious buyers only. Can negotiate
Hi, seeking projector expertise. Looking for a projector for regular use for my bedroom. Let me know what’s best - whether the projector image should go across the top painted portion of the wall, or in the middle across the closet doors.
Dimensions
Wall height: 9 feet and 4 inches
Wall width: 8 feet and 2 inches
Projection distance (how far projector will be from wall): 9-11 feet
Not looking to spend more than $200
Thank you!
Edit: I am located in the US
hey i am from Bangladesh. room size is 15ft x15ft. I bought it yesterday... works well. picture quality perfect. but in dark background and white text its scattering lights like that. whats the problem? anyone have this issue?
I’ve read a lot of these recommendations posts. One thing that I need specially, is a unit that is usb-c powered since I plan to use a larger solar-power bank for camping. I’ve looked at nexigo pj40 and elephas w1 (believe they’re both typical outlet powered) but I’m open to any recommendations, whether in Amazon, AliExpress, Best Buy, etc. budget is a little flexible but definitely would prefer to stay under $500. Short throw would be ideal for camping as well, but don’t want to discount other options that may be better. I’m in the NE US, and the usage would be outside although our living room is probably 25x 40. TIA
Every time I look around I get absolutely bombarded with information, articles eating top 10 projectors of 2026! etc. but never seem trustworthy/helpful
Projector sits about 8ft from wall and room can be made pretty dark even during daytime
Stand and keystone adjustment necessary as projector has to be angled upwards slightly
Budget moderately flexible, UK market if title didn't make it obvious ;)
Current projector is from putrims and 2/3 of the projection is now a dark smudge with orange tint after about a year of use, also smells of burnt plastic lol
Was fairly happy with the picture quality when it was new
From india,250sqf room,I bought this today nothing mind blowing but i see soo many dust particles in the lens i tried rubbing it with microfibre cloth but its still there i think its in inside surface of the lens.is it normal to have it like this,no problem with picture quality and all should i return this.
Got an Epson EF21 recently but I felt hinge adjustment we get in EF22 would have been nicer.
Got the zebronics projector stand on amazon and it’s been good. https://amzn.in/d/0bQQV2Uh
Hi I just want to know how is Input lag in office projectors like epson eb_96w (3lcd). is it suitable for Non-competitive games? Does anyone have any experience with these type of projectors?
Writing this review as it may help someone. I bought the XGIMI Z6X Chinese version for $180. A friend got it from China, and I've been using it for the last 20 days. Pretty satisfied. The equivalent global version is the XGIMI Elfin Plus, and in my country it was close to $450–$500, so I really got a good deal.
This one is really good. The only thing is that it has Chinese firmware, and we cannot change it. I'm using an IPTV box or Fire Stick, both of which I had previously, so there was no additional investment. Also, I have sideloaded apps on the projector like YouTube and Stremio, which work really well and don't require any OTT subscription, just in case I want to watch movies that aren't available on OTT platforms in my country.
Basic adjustments can be translated using Google Translate, and I got familiar with them within 5–10 minutes. The only adjustment I use frequently is the keystone adjustment; the rest isn't required. Ask me anything if you need any help.

Hi there, I've look through reviews but still can't pick between these two. Can someone point me toward one? the Xgimi is about 150% the price for the mozart pro in my local market atm. Both are affordable.
From what i can gather the Mozart seems to be winning since the speaker is better, and cheaper. (size doesn't really matter for my room)
But alot of posts seems to recommend Xgimi more since they are built better? i think the Lumen stats is lower than the Wanbo i think?
the speaker is nice and all but i don't mind upgrading to a more proper sound bar in the future. still nice for the next few months tho.
Space from the wall i'm planning to mount and the wall i'm planning to hang a screen on is around 5m.
This is just for the bed room with a weirdly placed window so i can't mount a TV in front of the bed. The projector screen kindda double nicely as a curtain.
I’m looking to buy a projector for camping, ideally under $150, but I’m open to spending up to $200. Since I don’t have a screen, I’ll need some recommendations for one as well. As well will be using a power bank and I am located in Washington. Thanks!
Hey everyone, I'm new to everything projectors, so bear with me.
I have a NEC PA550W I kept from getting thrown away at work. I bought an Elite Screens Yard-Master 2 110" screen for it.
At ~110" the 1280×800 resolution and 5500 lumens are getting stretched pretty thin. It certainly works and we enjoy it even better after the sun is long gone. But it has me craving more.
I've looked at these projectors online and they can be had from around $150-300 with plenty of life still in the bulb. Is it technically possible and economically sensible to buy 2-3 more of these projectors and use NVIDIA Surround or Mosaic to raise the DPI and perceived brightness? I've got a wooden platform that I can secure the projectors to that should keep everything aligned.
I haven't seen this idea online outside of commercial or very specific setups. Never for home theater or backyard movie watching. If there are better solutions or newer projectors that might be able to achieve a better image at a similar cost, I'm all for considering them.
I need an opinion if it's a good deal for me. I know it's a +10year old projector, I want it to start projecting some vj stuff and other artistic media stuff, learn video mapping on small things, and probably used for visuals in small parties. maybe some movies and sports in home from one day to another.
I do live in a relative small city in Mexico and been looking in the second hand market and I had been patience while searching. Maybe I can wait more but this looks attractive as it is WXGA and cost around $120 dollars.
What are your thoughts on the deal? should I wait more and save more, I don't think it's a good idea to throw more than $150/200 as it is a hobby but maybe I could if something better approaches or is totally worth it to save for. Today I discovered in this sub the optoma ph31 new for example, it's out of my budget now but... you know it's tempting.
It would be used in a wall that is like 4meters tall x 6 wide. and the max projection distance would be like 5meters. But this will change as i plan to use it on different spots.
Thank you in advance.
So I bought the polarizer film and was able to disassemble it but now looking at it not only is the polizer burned but this piece here that attaches to the heatsink (is it a bulb, idk) has a splotch on the plastic piece. Is it over or will changing the polarizer be enough to make it work normally again? The first pics with the white splotch, that piece is just plastic but I tried cleaning it with iso alcohol and it just does not go away. The part with the brown splotch, I assume that is the piece with the polarizer.

Hello, I’m looking for my first projector for a home theater and I’m looking for something that’s going to look good for a first time projector user that’s around $250 or less. I’m fine with buying something used and a bit older to buy from a reputable brand that will actually last and isn’t just e-waste junk. Also interested in recommendations on a budget screen/DIY screen for it. My set up will be in a basement with dimmable can lights and virtually no natural light. Any suggestions are welcome! Thanks. Located in USA. Room size is approximately going to be 14x36 but will only be using a 14x10 section for the theater area.
Hi,
I'm looking to buy a new projector.
First, I had an Ultimea Apollo P40, but I have to agree: it's Chinese junk. After a couple of months, there was already a major failure – the power button turned on, stayed like that for a millisecond, and then shut down. This repeated itself. I looked it up and it is a common issue: a broken capacitor. I can repair it, but when I watch movies later on, it will always be in the back of my mind that it could randomly shut off because it has cheap parts.
So, I want to buy a new projector. My budget is $200. And before anyone says all projectors in that price range are "toys": yes, I know. But I just don't need the best of the best. I'm watching in a dark room, I don't need a very big screen, and I don't need the best speakers – I just want it to work without any failures.
I have a small bedroom. The maximum projection size on my wall is around 70", but I don't need it that big. I have a small shelf on the wall opposite it, where I can put it. It's around 78 inches from the projection wall.
I did some research and came across the Wanbo T2 Ultra and Wanbo Cube 2 Pro. There are 3 options:
I actually live in the Netherlands, but I’ve converted the prices.
I'm torn between which one to buy, but I think I am going with the Wanbo T2 Ultra. It's just a bit better in terms of speaker quality, contrast, and HDR.
Do any of you have experience with these models? And how will they compare to my Ultimea Apollo P40?
Thanks.
After reading so many posts in reddit and i found out many projectors are burned out in one or two years ( i have personal experience with Nexigo PJ40 ) I short listed two projectors Benq GV32 and Epson EF-21W . Which is better on your own experience? Other suggestions are also welcome . Budget is less than 50,000₹
Hi! I'm new to projectors, this would be my first one and I need some help. Here are the things that are important for me:
- I live in Hungary
- My budget is 560 € or 650 $
- The projector would be about 2 m from the wall, and the space on the wall is 170x95 cm (195 cm or 76 inch diameter rectangle)
- I have a sound system that i want to connect to the projector via Bluetooth.
- I would use the projector for watching movies, android tv or something i could use streaming apps with would be nice, but i also have a laptop if needed.
- I dont mind if its not 4k, but the quality of the image is important for me.
- Reliability is also important
I could buy a BenQ Th575i in my budget, but i dont know if its good or if there is a better option. Also i dont know if the LED projectors are better than the replacable lamp ones in the long run. Also i could move the place of the projector, so the distance is 2 m plus-minus 30 cm.
Thanks for the help.
