Title: Those $50 1080p projectors
Post by: tp4tissue on Sat, 22 July 2023, 06:18:10
NE1 have one?

Spec seems ~60% srgb, ~200:1 contrast, usable.

But it's a projector, and it does projector stuff.

Tp4 thinking about getting one.

Look into the lifespan before you buy.
Many have an expensive bulb that lasts a very short time, if you can replace it at all. Others can overheat really fast or have a very short battery life...

They're cheap for a reason.
