Quality work sir. I do like it when you include the projectors ability to loop videos without onscreen menus for AtmosFX videos! 😂 …that little cheap can-style short throw projector (HY-300) could have some good AtmosFX use scenarios if it doesn’t show menus between files. (Assuming it has usb input)
The greatest service this channel provides is reviewing cheap projectors from generic brands no one outside China has heard of. There is a massive variance in quality and deviation from claimed specs among the cheap projectors. In contrast, name brand projectors more closely adhere to their claimed specs and are more similar to their competitors making reviews slightly less valuable . So many Amazon reviews are fake. I would not buy a cheap projectors without watching your review first.
Could you please do review for all $300-$400 Projectors? Also Similarly for maybe $200-$300 and so on for future vidoe ideas. This would help choose the projectors for people with set budgets
Just bought a Happrun a few days ago since it was on sale from your videos! Set it up today and it's a great value for $40! Thank you for all the hard work you do for testing products!
So crazy how I've been watching your reviews on projectors the past week looking for a good projector for my community movie night and then bam! you upload this masterpiece. Thank you!!! ❤
A review of the Wanbo x5 and x5 pro would be greatly appreciated. They are super duper popular in Europe and I’ve not heard you talk about them. Maybe I missed it. Keep up the good work
Someday people will learn you actually GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR 😂 Thanks again for another great video and doing the leg work so we don't have to learn the hard way!
What do you expect for a sub $100 projector? There are a few decent options here for the $$. I wouldn’t use any of them as a regular home theatre projector. But for the occasional movie or Halloween decoration, these cheap projectors have an impressive performance to cost ratio.
You need to put a comparison to a "high end" projector for things like fan noise since 40db on the loudest of these means nothing if the high end one is 45db
17:04 why is your choice for flexibility the HY300 over the HY320 (either Salange or MagiCube)? I thought for sure the newer (320) version would be better. Especially in when in 12:25 the Salange HY320 is ranked higher than the HY300. Note: I'm only considering these options because I'm planning to use the projector mostly aimed on my ceiling. So the other options are not ideal.
I look forward to this shootout every year. I am sure you will get to the midrange priced projectors a little later, but Im shopping hard for an affordable projector to put outside for a virtual matrix on my garage door. Brightness, 4D keystone correction (to set it offset from the driveway), and contrast ratio are my biggest considerations. Anything else I should consider for this use case?
Awesome review and comparison! Did you have the chance to review the ONOAYO ONO3 PRO? Looks promising with 800 ANSI for the price, but since ONOAYO AY3 claims 500 ANSI and only delivered 161 in the test you made, I'm skeptical. Thank you!
I remember my 1st projector had VGA and RCA with a 640x480 resolution. The bulbs cost more than any of these projectors It's crazy how far these things have come
I am looking now as well, and with all the sales, I am wanting the next step up and looking for horizontal keystoning. Looking to spend around $150 after coupon amount or Black Friday discount. I am mainly looking for the step up just to get a little bit brighter and the 4D or 6D keystoning.. important factors beyond those are as quiet as possible and works well with a Fire TV Cube and plug in speakers that I already have. Just curious what your thoughts are in this area... also the PJ40 has a large number of negative reviews with it not working after a few months of using it regularly.
the only reason why the comparison between these projectors appear balanced is because they are on the same level. Comparing a Happrun to a Hisense c1 is like comparing VCR tape quality image to one produced by a 4K BluRay. Do you really want to go there?😆
Thank you for your amazing work! Please compare the new projectors from 100 $ to 400$ too! Did you ever test the Ultimea Poseidon E40 with 1000 ANSI Lumen, the Putrims k12 at 1200 ANSI and similars?
Try the magcubic H450 and the byintek U14 the magcubic is a short throw and i think they both have off axis projection which is new to the single lcd projector market
In one of the previous year videos and year before you mentioned much better input lag for Happrun H1. I bought it and am not very happy with it. It is indeed 35-45ms
The way that these LCD projectors work, the screens can either be refreshed from the top down or bottom up depending on the manufacturer. I used to only measure the top bar, which on the Happrun will give values between 23-33ms, but now I measure all 3 bars and report the highest value.
How long would the groview (or any of these single LCD projectors in general) last with ~5 hrs of usage a week? I've seen people saying it's only 1-2 years.
It depends heavily on your environment. If your room is dusty or warm it will decrease the lifespan significantly. In a cleaned air conditioned house it should last ~20,000h.

Not single one of those top 5 affiliate links connected to the correct product for me, but often similar looking items instead. I know it's out of THU's control, it seems a bit bait and switchy. I guess it's from not being in the USA.
Which projector, not on this list, is the cheapest AND checks all the boxes, and maybe is your all time favorite cheap projector? OR at what price can a projector check all the boxes ya have?
Would have loved to know if any of the other projectors aside from the HY300 have 4 Point keystone. I wanted one that had this for under 150€ but it seems to be relatively rare...
Sadly the market isn’t at all the same in Europe so this video can’t translate… every time I hope to see some wanbo projector as it is the most popular brand I guess but still nothing, maybe the next time

Same! I just started looking at options today. I decided not to get any though lol, based on reviews these apparently just don't last very long.
i bought a groview few months ago, works like a charm. i think its the best overall. just attach a firestick to it and you are good to go.
damn, this guy projects!
Don't know why this is so interesting even though I've got a great projector, the JMGO N1.
A review of the Wanbo x5 and x5 pro would be greatly appreciated. They are super duper popular in Europe and I’ve not heard you talk about them. Maybe I missed it. Keep up the good work
I have been looking to get a cheep projector. This dropped at the right time.
That was a good test. The only thing we can't get from these tests is quality control, longevity and customer support, which makes sense.
a great presentation on so many levels, you nailed it, be proud

Amending Christmas list 😅 thank you so much!
Edit, can't find any of the top 4 in the UK. 😮
Wow this video pops up at the perfect time. The XGIMI Elfin Flip is on Black Friday sale. do you think this projector is a good choice?
Omg this was perfectly timed, was just about to buy mine

Thanks awesome test!!
Thank you for this video! I wanted to ask if you have tested the VOPLLS VP-1?
I really wish there was an equivalent list for the UK, only the Toptro from the top 5 is on UK amazon, and the latency on that is too high for me. :(
Nebula capsule 3 laser… smash or pass?
love these reviews
you should seriously colab with some manufacturer, like the happrun to make it better, maybe even make it bigger with less noise?

Does the Happrun have a tripod mount underneath?
Thanks for your excelent work. I know is not about this video, but is the hisense C1 worth it compare with a 100 dollars projector?

Please make a video for best Black Friday deals on projecter
If your agree with me hit a like so he will se it
That the exactly what we need now
Coming tomorrow

That what im talking man
Like best deal for 1080
And best for 4k deals
Hello there, since in Europe I dont have Happrun 😢 what would you suggest?
In one of the previous year videos and year before you mentioned much better input lag for Happrun H1. I bought it and am not very happy with it. It is indeed 35-45ms
The way that these LCD projectors work, the screens can either be refreshed from the top down or bottom up depending on the manufacturer. I used to only measure the top bar, which on the Happrun will give values between 23-33ms, but now I measure all 3 bars and report the highest value.
If you seriously need something low latency then no projector is going to be ideal
No LCD projector will be ideal. Lots of DLP projectors can do 4.6ms at 1080p240hz with zero motion blur.
@@TheHookUp thanks for clarifying
How long would the groview (or any of these single LCD projectors in general) last with ~5 hrs of usage a week? I've seen people saying it's only 1-2 years.

What a great video!
According to Amazon reviews, Nexigo projectors only last a few months.

@TheHookUp strange that doesn't affect other projectors.
Hahahahahaahaa I’m from great American teach in and I just subscribed
Saved me from buying garbage. Thank you good sir lol

Maybe at the end you should compare Best cheep and Best from last compare to show difference.
What do you mean Best from last?
The Happrun H1 and Groview JQ818C were the top picks last year, and they are also in this video.
From video you made 13 days ago. Game changing 4k projectors. Just to have the concept how far they are. Or not that far.
Oh. REALLY Far. It's like the difference between a bike and a Range Rover.
@@TheHookUp 🤣🤣🤣Pretty much
Would have loved to know if any of the other projectors aside from the HY300 have 4 Point keystone.
I wanted one that had this for under 150€ but it seems to be relatively rare...
Toptro TR23 has 4 point, so does the HY320.
@TheHookUp Thanks!! Great videos btw 😀!!
Amazing guy.
Sadly the market isn’t at all the same in Europe so this video can’t translate… every time I hope to see some wanbo projector as it is the most popular brand I guess but still nothing, maybe the next time
