    I bought your cheap option for an artist projector from last years list, and the mural in my son's room looks amazing for it. He now uses the project to watch Mickey Mouse club house on the ceiling. Thank you for recommending the worst scoring projector because you realize it had great potential outside of media quality. My baby doesn't care about screen door, pixel density, or 4K resolution. He just wants to go inside Mickeys club house.

    • @adcockarts5936

      How large was the mural? (If you don’t mind me asking)

      Hey, sorry, had comment notifications off. It was the EZCast Beam J2. The size of the mural really depends on the distance from the wall it's being projected on. The video was "Should you Buy a portable projector."

    Aw man I just pulled the trigger a week ago and didn't have your latest list and affiliate links! I'm still going to click all of them, but I ended up just going with the Wimio. I got 3 of them to do some Halloween projections. Ordered one first, and I'm really impressed with how good the image is. I also have an Epson HC 4010 in my main theater setup so I wasn't really expecting much out of these cheap little lightweight projectors. I haven't performed a side by side or direct comparison yet, but from what I've been using it for, I have been very impressed. Thank you for keeping these reviews and comparisons so brief but chock-full of info. I have definitely liked and subscribed.

    Thank you for this review, I watched several videos before Christmas. I wanted one but didn't have a big budget. So your video was the last of 5 videos I watched on budget projectors. I settled on the Febfox. I couldn't be more pleased. I use it on my days off outside against the house. The house has a light green paint on it. I was going to purchase a screen, but I have to tell you, after watching it and adjusting some of the brightness and color, I just don't think I need it. The picture is that good. And I don't have to take it down and put it back up. I tried the cast option, but the best way to watch movies and or videos,is to hook it up to HDMI with a connector to your phone. Then I Bluetooth to a speaker. Bam! Outdoor theater. I'm sure It would be better with a screen and may do that in the future, but even on the green paint it looks great. Thanks again!

If you can give me your recommendation and affiliate link I’ll buy one upon your reply. Thank you again for giving us so much info so quickly and straight forward.

    Please keep making these projectors videos
    For the $200 range would be very helpful too
    Every year new improved 1080p projectors comes out with better specs at a cheaper price
    If you could do this kind of projector comparison video every year
    It would be so so so so helpful
    Thank you for time and hardwork
    Have a nice day :)
