Projector

REVIEW – Growing up, I had a couple of friends whose parents had projectors in their homes. I thought it was the most amazing thing. They would hang from the ceiling and a screen would descend from the ceiling on the other side of the room as well. It was like having a movie theater in […]

REVIEW—I remember being enraptured by the stars unencumbered by clouds while seated in a comfy reclining chair at the planetarium during summer school field trips in the ’70s. I still love the experience and have long wondered how to bottle it and bring it home. Pococo makes my dream possible with its Galaxy Star Projector.

REVIEW – I reviewed a projector last year (Heyup Boxe Lite Smart Projector) and called out a missed opportunity by not having the option to be battery-powered. Having a small, portable, and fully wireless option (no power cable, no HDMI or signal cable), would make these types of portable projectors even more desirable. When the

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a handful of portable projectors now, but so far none of them have passed the “watching a Lord of the Rings Extended Edition on battery test”, of which movies the Return of the King runs a whopping four hours and one minute! I know most people aren’t watching 4 hours of

REVIEW – There seems to be a number of different form factors popping up with projectors recently. Very slim projectors, portable cubes, and today’s variation which looks more like a spotlight than a projector at first glance. The XGODY Gimbal 3 projector looked like a fun projector to try out and looked very portable. Read

REVIEW – Getting decent video for one or two people is possible with just a phone, in a pinch, but sometimes, there are more folks that want to watch. Or maybe, you just want to feel the huge-screen experience and throw a video up on your wall or on a large screen. A projector is

REVIEW – The last video projector I reviewed, the JMGO N1S Ultra left me quite happy. It was bright, high resolution, and even had Google smarts built in. NEBULA, makers of projectors from Anker, has released what they claim as the world’s smallest Google TV equipped projector, the Capsule Air. As Steve Martin once said,

REVIEW – Projectors these days are available in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and price points. These range from sub-$100 compact low resolution models of dubious origin up to multi-thousand dollar home-theater monstrosities. Portable projectors have historically come with compromises like lower brightness, resolution, or features compared to heavier and more expensive home theater models,

REVIEW – I reviewed JMGO’s N1 Ultra triple laser projector and was thrilled with the performance! Andy Chen reviewed the N1S Ultra (here), and Julian Perry reviewed their N1 Pro (here). JMGO has released the latest version, the N1S Pro, and I couldn’t wait to get my hands on it! Ooh! I’m so excited! What

REVIEW – Video projectors have improved an incredible amount in the last 20 years. They’ve gone from hot, expensive, and large devices to small portable devices that are accessible to regular folks. The VIZONY FHD 1080P Projector came up for review and I thought it would be a fun test to see how the quality

REVIEW – Last year I reviewed the Dangbei Mars 1080p projector, a bright and quiet unit that left me impressed. Two days later, Gadgeteer Julian Perry posted a review for another laser-based 1080p projector, the JMGO N1 Pro. Today is another round in the home projector arms race, a 4K, 3000 ANSI lumen unit called

REVIEW – Projectors are usually designed to be bulky home-theater versions with high-end technology, or portable versions that are smaller and lighter but often are much dimmer or have inferior lenses or hardware. The Dangbei Atom Laser Projector caught my eye as a model that might be able to do both, a feat that your

REVIEW – Let’s face it, sometimes a 65-inch TV is not big enough. Can the Heyup Boxe Lite Smart Projector solve a problem I didn’t know I had? Read on to find out! What is it? The Heyup Boxe Lite smart projector is a compact LCD projector that can output 80-120 inches of high-definition visuals.

REVIEW – Mason was looking for a projector that he could easily bring to friends’ houses for movies and video games — without having to worry about speakers or video converters.  The YABER K2s projector fit the bill; plus, the Dolby Audio and internal JBL speakers were a big selling point. What is it? The

REVIEW – We’ve reviewed a LOT of projectors here at The Gadgeteer, but I personally haven’t had the chance to try out a native 4K one yet (though I’ve tested some great 1080P models). The Paris Rhône 4K SP005 LCD Projector looked pretty similar to other one I just reviewed (the KJM K3 1080P projector)

REVIEW – I’ve always been a major movie buff. At one point, I went to the cinema four or five times a week until COVID-19. During this time, cocooning became a thing we all had to do, and golly gee, I missed it. If you have a flair for film or want larger-than-life sports at

REVIEW – Watching a billion-dollar movie on a six-inch screen is almost a crime. Yeah, I’ve done it too, but I’m not proud. Still, I’m unwilling to lug a chunky projector when traveling. The solution: The Elephas A1 Portable Video Projector fits into a pocket for big-screen video thrills on the go! What is it?

REVIEW – About 7 years ago, we bought a secondhand projector from a university surplus store. In its first life, it was used in giant lecture halls. For us, it worked great for outdoor movies projected onto our house, and my son also liked using it for his room. However, it’s bulky, heavy, loud and
