1080p native, up to 120in

Real resolution, not an upscaled 480p panel. Sharp enough to read text on.

✓
Lamp mode for reading

Drops to a warm 2700K ceiling wash with the picture off. The fan stops.

✓
28 dB fan

Quieter than most laptops. You hear the dialogue, not the projector.

Why this one

Built for a Tuesday, not a garden party.

Most cheap projectors are bought for one summer evening and then live in a cupboard. This one earns its shelf space the other 360 nights.

→Warm colour profile at low brightness, not blue-white
→Autofocus and auto keystone, no focus wheel to fiddle with
→Built-in apps, or HDMI from a laptop
→1.1 kg, moves between rooms in one hand

Lamp mode
Two minutes, box to film

On the wall in two minutes.

No mount, no drilling, no calibration screen.

Step 1
Set it down

About 2.5 m back from a plain wall gives you a 100-inch picture.

Step 2
Plug it in

USB-C to the wall. It wakes up and focuses itself.

Step 3
Pick something

Use the built-in apps, or HDMI from a laptop or stick.

Step 4
Or read instead

Tilt it at the ceiling and switch to lamp mode. Fan off, warm light on.

Projector only. Streaming subscriptions not included.

Same corner. Two completely different evenings.

One box does the film night and the reading light. Nothing else in the room changes.

Before
Watching
The honest version

Cheap projectors sound like a hairdryer.

Most of the price difference goes into the fan, the colour profile and the lens. You hear and see all three.

The lamp mode was an afterthought for me and now it is the reason I keep it out on the shelf.

Threw 95 inches onto a magnolia wall with no screen. Sharp corner to corner.

Smaller than I expected, roughly a hardback lying flat. Autofocus does its job.

Daylight is not its strength, as advertised. After sunset it is excellent.

We watch things in the room the baby sleeps in. You cannot hear the projector.

The fold-flat screen in the bundle is better than I expected for the price.
