    But, this is a normal price right, where is the deal?

    • alexm1 on 03/12/2021 - 07:17

      I think the deal is that this projector is cheaper than others, so if someone is looking for a projector can consider this one

      • Pinchy on 03/12/2021 - 08:50

        It’s not cheaper than others though..

        I would consider that's a good find rather bargain!

        Would you buy first and think later for this deal?

        So that means, if someone is considering a BMW SUV, then I should post a Kia SUV at full RRP that was just released and that would be ok as a deal if it has similar specs?

    Is 300 lumens bright enough to watch something outside on those "warm summer nights"? What if it's a full moon?

      300 lumens is not bright enough to watch anything period.

      Look for something around the range of 1500 - 2000 lumens

      • whitelie on 03/12/2021 - 09:10

        That was my thinking but what about the comments below regarding different measurements?

          I have a cheap BenQ projector which i bought for $1100 about 10 years ago which has 2000 ANSI lumens. If this is 300 ANSI lumens you're going to have a bad time

          1000 vs 3000 ansi lumens example.

          • Franc-T on 06/12/2021 - 01:27

            @a l an: This. I have two older projectors both full hd and they are both over 2K.

            Neither is that great in daylight in a mostly shrouded room (some ambient light from other room) but the are fine at night. The OPS' projector is only suitable for small rooms at night imo.

        • Pinchy on 03/12/2021 - 11:41

          1,000 light source lumens converts to 60 ANSI lumens

      • ItsMeAgro on 03/12/2021 - 09:27
        +1

        Yeah honestly in a basement room with no windows if it's totally pitch black, you still won't be able to see what's going on in nighttime scenes with only 300 lumens.

        I applaud them for at least not simply lying outright about the lumens like the other cheapo "projector" brands always do.

      • bargaino on 03/12/2021 - 11:24
        +1

        A genuine 300 ANSI lumens will produce a good image on a small screen without ambient light. e.g. camping or room with blackout curtains.

        The old 16mm film projectors certainly did not put thousands of lumens onto the screen, which is why you need darkness.

        The problem is that many cheap projectors have fake lumens claims. e.g. they state the light source brightness, and then some.

        Imagine lighting a portable screen with a 50W halogen downlight. That will give around 300 lumens.
        In a dark room, that will look quite bright. (of course the projector bulb must be far brighter, due to losses even for a "white screen image".)

      • BBT on 23/12/2021 - 12:34

        I picked up one yesterday on sale and can say for certain it is a lot brighter than you think. 300 ANSI lumens is the brightness measured at the screen where most cheap projectors quote the brightness of the light source at its source and are not the same unit of measurement. Based on a rough calculator I found of (ANSI lumens = 7 X Lumens) which would make it around 2100 lumens. I am using it in a dim but not full blackout bedroom and it looks fine to me with a projection size over 2m.

        This was a really good watch. Seems like this projector would stack up ok, if the Native res is actually true.

        thank you

    • Shenannigoat on 03/12/2021 - 07:25

      Says 'recommended for outdoor use', I reckon it'd be okay to use in the evenings.

      • MisterEd on 03/12/2021 - 07:37

        Outdoor use because operating noise so loud?

          The folding screen is recommended for outdoor use.

          You can use the projector indoors.

    • ItsMeAgro on 03/12/2021 - 09:28

      I'd say more of a gimmick and would be better to save the money.

      You might watch a movie on it, or even more than one, to enjoy the gimmick, but the inability to see what's going on in movies will have you preferring your laptop or even phone for real watching (cheap nasty TVs will blow this toy out of the water for image quality).

    • Castcore on 03/12/2021 - 10:49

      You'd only wanna use this at night when it's dark, it won't work well during the day unless you have blackout curtains. It'll only work okay-ish once the sun has set and if there aren't any bright street lights or moon.

    • BBT on 23/12/2021 - 12:38

      I am yet to try mine outside but would think there should not be any issues outside after sunset.

  • FDA2021 on 03/12/2021 - 07:22

    Is it supposed to be "300" lumens?
    When I search up projecters near this price, I see them around 3000-5000 lumens Full HD

    • SwarleyAUS on 03/12/2021 - 07:27
      +5

      Its 300 ANSI Lumens. That sounds about right. The above video addresses this, basically if the number is too good to be true, assume you need to multiply it by 0.04, ie 3000L = 120L ANSI

      • FDA2021 on 03/12/2021 - 07:33

        Interesting. So this is equal to about 7500 lumens = 300 ansi lumens.
        I assume this should be relatively bright at night then

        • ItsMeAgro on 03/12/2021 - 09:40
          +3

          LOL nope.

          7500 ANSI lumens is bright at night.

          7500 scam lumens = 300 ANSI lumens = is not bright enough to watch movies in a pitch black darkroom.

          • bargaino on 03/12/2021 - 11:27

            @ItsMeAgro: Why are all comments starting with "lol" so "dunning kruger"?

            For a start, it depends on your screen area.

            https://www.benq.com/en-au/knowledge-center/knowledge/the-di…

            • ItsMeAgro on 03/12/2021 - 16:23

              @bargaino: Sorry, I don't mean to be rude to anyone, it's just frustrating to see all the misinformation about projectors.

              it depends on your screen area

              Technically correct, but as that (very good) link shows, 300 ANSI Lumens (if that's what this projector truly is) is barely adequate in an absolutely pitch black room with a good screen (not a lower gain surface like a white wall or cheap screen) ONLY for 80 inches or less. If you have windows with curtains, or moonlight, or enough dim light to eat snacks, you're looking at 55 inches or less.

              What would be the point of having a projector image smaller than many people's TVs?

              • bargaino on 03/12/2021 - 16:36

                @ItsMeAgro: I don't think anyone expects this to replace your lounge-room TV, do they?

                Moonlight is well under 1 lux. How much contrast were you expecting from this? :-)

      • megarch on 03/12/2021 - 07:36

        so 300 ANSI Lumens = 300/.04 = 7500L( seems pretty good as per above youtube video)
        but contrast is tad low!
        edit:just saw the above comment

    • ItsMeAgro on 03/12/2021 - 09:35

      This one would be 300 ANSI lumens. That's not bright enough to watch dark scenes, even inside in a pitch black room.

      The reason you usually see "3000-5000 lumens" and "Full HD" on these cheapo projectors, is that they simply lie outright, to pretend their projector is in the same ballpark as the real name-brand projectors that cost $500 and up.

      They survive by changing brand names a few times a year, to escape all the bad reviews, and because so few people can/will actually measure lumens and count pixels. (They'll just buy it, see it looks worse than their phone, say "oh well, I guess projectors suck", and go back to watching their 42 inch TV, none the wiser).

    re the Lumen argument, I found some good info here:

    https://www.benq.com/en-au/knowledge-center/knowledge/the-di…

    They recommend 300 ANSI lumens for a 80" screen in a dark room (50 nit).

    For the supplied 120" screen, the kids won't complain. You just need full darkness.

  • DASHCAM NOW DUDE on 03/12/2021 - 13:22

  • Jackson on 14/01/2022 - 17:16

    Can anyone who's used there projector let me know how much movement there is in the keystone correction? I'm finding my slider doesn't go as far left and right as I'd expect and feels stuck, but I'm not sure if that's a defect or if they are all made like that. I can get it to correct slightly, but not much

    • 10101010101 on 15/01/2022 - 00:53
      +1

      There's not much movement at all. Would distort the image too much anyway losing quality on an already budget quality image. I've mounted mine onto a camera tripod. Gives me more control and flexibility on positioning it. Simply unscrew the foot and you get a threaded bolt hole that matches any standard camera tripod

      • Jackson on 15/01/2022 - 10:05

        Yeah I did the same with the tripod, but I am not sure if I mount it to the ceiling will it have enough correction to show a square picture

        • 10101010101 on 15/01/2022 - 13:29

          Yeah was thinking of doing the same but unlikely to have enough correction.
