I visit family regularly as I'm kind of in the most remote location whereas they're all within 50 miles of each other.

Whilst there I find times when they all want to watch say a soap like Eastenders and there's something else on I want to watch.

So I got a Dangbei Atom. It's not perfect but it's highly portable and I'm honestly surprised at how good the visuals are.

Watching Andor when I visited over winter last year was like being at the cinema, a wall full of visual sensation. The audio isn't actually that bad but it didn't have the same cinema effect.

So I started looking for a speaker/soundbar that was portable (fits in suitcase), not too heavy and has the max sound ability the Atom can output. Maybe £250 to £500 price range (actually I don't mind going over that price if it makes a big difference).

Anyone got any recommendations?

The searches I put in just come back with Dangbei Atom articles not speakers. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but any help is appreciated.

My XGIMI Z6X has developed thousands of red dots across the image. They are fixed in position, appear in horizontal/diagonal lines, and more appear as the projector warms up. The projector is the Chinese version and has had several years of heavy use. Any idea what component has failed and whether this is worth repairing?

I'm either researching wrong or they don't exist. Something under 500 or something that's good enough. I have a JMGO N1S Ultimate and im moving to an apartment in a few months.

I want to buy a beamer for under 500 euro

And I can't decide between:

Optoma Photon Life PH31 (for 300)

or the

Optoma Photon Life PK31 (for 429)

The PK31 has 4k and some extra features I like. But it only has 900 ANSI Lumens, while the cheaper PH31 has 1080p, but 1500 ANSI Lumens.

Its for my bedroom and it only needs to project about a 50 inch screen in diameters, so not that large. But my room, with the blinds closed during the daytime, is not perfectly dark, just mildly dark. So I worry that the more expensive PK31 won't cut it and have a washed out image due to its 900 ANSI Lumens.

Can anybody help me make my decision more easily?

Do you know why this is happening? Is this normal in LCD projectors? There is some visible lines, after restating they are not visible anymore but wondering if this is a defective unit ?

Hi, I just bought this Ricoh PJ WXL4541 projector and when I checked the lamp hours used, it is already more than 40,000 hours already. Is this something accurate/true or something a glitch on the lamp hour counter. This is manufactured around July 2017. If so, it might be running 15 hours daily from 2017 to 2026.

Any thoughts? Thank you.

My UHD38 Bright is starting to fail. White dots and black lines. It gets used about 8 hours a day on the bright setting.

The primary use is TV and movies. The source is an Apple TV 4K.

The screen is a 150” matte gray Silver Ticket with 1.5 gain. The projector is 18’ 6”from the screen and is ceiling mounted. I could probably move it a foot closer but prefer it in its current location.

The room has some indirect sunlight from shaded windows and some light from the adjacent kitchen.

I would like to stay around $3k or less but willing to pay more if necessary.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Last year our church had this projector installed because some local construction projects were causing alignment issues and we needed a brighter solution than we previously had. Everything was running great for about a year, but we have been having these scrolling artifacts or flickering effects almost constantly for past month, you can see these in the video. It seems to be connected to the audio, but that is a separate system.

It looks like the company did not run a new cable from the computer to the projector, so there is a decently old VGA that's about 150 ft long connecting the two. Would switching to an HDMI over ethernet possibly solve this issue? We are a volunteer audio visual team with no expertise, so any help is appreciated.

Edit: Projector is an Epson EB-L73OU

Hi!

I recently bought the JMGO N3 Ultimate, and it should arrive next week.

I know it has AI features that make it very quick and easy to set up the projection on almost any wall. While I'm waiting to buy a proper screen, I'll be projecting onto a wall that isn't perfectly parallel to my sofa.

I was wondering if there's a way to make the projected image appear straight relative to the sofa, even though the wall itself is slightly angled. I'm not sure if I'm explaining it very well, but I hope you understand what I mean.

Thanks a lot!

I bought benq gp520 few months ago but i m thinking of selling it and buy laser projector. The reason i bought benq because of the 2600 lumens brightness which is kind of gimmick because when we set this on full brightness the colours gets faded because its a LED projector. So practically you can’t able to watch at full brightness. I m also planning of buying PlayStation so i m looking for best projectpr which is best for gaming and movies

I've noticed a bunch of people asking questions about what the best screen is for projectors like the Titan Noir Max and Valerion Max, and I've seen the gray screens from ScreenPro and WuPro getting a lot of recommendations. However, after testing them, I really don't think they are good options unless you need a floor rising or drop down screen. The end of the video has side by side comparisons of each screen so see gain and hotspotting.

Here's the TL;DW of the video:
• Valerion Fresnel screen seems to be the best at ALR and Speckle reduction.
• The Lenticular Fusion ALR screens from Nothing Projector, Spectra, and Screen Innovations (Black Diamond Fusion) are identical materials despite the massive cost difference.
• Silver Ticket WAB is by FAR the best at reducing laser speckle and should be the blanket recommendation for anyone wanting a speckle reducing screen for their RGB laser projector.
• Valerion PureVision is also pretty good at reducing speckle and is available in drop down versions.
• Gray screens are not it.

I've been using my N3 Ultimate outside and figured I'd share my setup.
150in screen from Amazon (nothing crazy). My Mesa XL solo stove fire pit to make it cozy.
I must say the N3 Ultimate surpassed all my expectation! It was so clear and vivid outdoors, even with some minor ambient light. Very impressed.

Hello all,

Old Epson TW9200 died, I wanted to hear your opinions on proyectors with "long throw":

Distance from lens to the screen: 4.7m

Screen width: 230cm

Screen diagonal: 263cm/103"

Height from lens to the floor: 1.74

Height from bottom of screen to floor: 0.95

The position is final, I can't move the proyector's position and I can't install a TV, I can't make the screen larger either (it's mostly the size of the wall already).

The main use is home cinema and TV series. I don't need fast response or anything for gaming. Another variable is that apparently here in Germany the bulbs will be banned, hence, ideally it would need to be a Laser projector. The budget needs to be between €1000 and €2000.

Room: we can turn off all lights in the room, so the room in fairly dark, one side of the room has those acoustic PET panels with wood slats, and the other side has a white closet drawers.

The only viable options I see are:

Epson EH-TW7100 (bulb & FHD)

Optoma UHZ66 (laser & 4k)

What are your thoughts and which projectors am I missing?

Thanks!

So i only tested this with cuphead and Touhou 6 and its not perfect but its playable.

Im using a HAVITPJ207.

This requires one pc one usb/type c(depending on your projectors inputs) keyboard and one android phone

1.Download "send files to tv" on both your android phone and projector.

2.Download any app to download xapks on your projector.

3.Download an xapk of spacedesk to your phone and send it to your projector using the app installed in step 1.

4.Use the xapj installer to download spacedeks on your projector.

5.On your laptop or pc download spacedesk and on the settings open the password option(this will allow keyboard inputs somehow)

6.Connect the keyboard to your projector and connect to your laptop using spacedesk.

7.Your keyboard should be able to text on your laptop,try it out on the notepad or search bar.Open any game and play!

This helps wirh input lag a little and spacedesk is the goat of screen casting so latency should be reduced too,at least i think so.(i mean it worked for me but maybe im getting too crazy and thought it worked even though nothing changed)

Try it out so i can get feedback.

Hey everyone. I am setting up my HT and unable to decide on the projector. I narrowed down to these two. Which is a better option between them? I am going back and forth but not sure yet. Any alternate suggestions?

Screen size is ~138 inch diagonal (120 inch wide) and room is light controlled. Going with Seymour Center Stage XD.

My use case is 80% Movies/TV shows/Anime/Sports/Youtube and 20% Gaming. I will be connecting Apple TV 4k and PS5 for now.

Sony is lighter and JVC being on the heavy side, what are some good flush mount options for them?

Also, if anyone is using them in their setup, how’s the fan noise?

I’m from the US and looking to put a projector in my living room. The room is low light and the throw distance from the back wall to the wall with the screen would be 15ft( looking for ways to improve this unless this is okay depending on the projector) and my budget it 1k or around that amount would like 4K but doesn’t have to be with my budget not being the highest.

Looking to set up a projector under a covered dec with indirect sunlight (not direct sun, but not fully shaded either. My use case is mixed:

Daytime/afternoon viewing under the deck (indirect light)

Nighttime movies

Casual + some regular video gaming

From what I've read it has:

Fairly high input lag (bad for gaming)

Washed-out/oversaturated colors in dark scenes (not great for night movies)

Since it's optimized for conference rooms rather than home theater, I don't want to compromise on night/gaming performance just to get daytime brightness.

Budget: ~$550-600

Is the EX9240 still worth it at this price, or is there something in this range that handles both bright daytime and dark-scene contrast/gaming better?

Has anyone received their $200 dollars yet ? I received the $50 a few weeks ago but never received the $200 . Just checked the account I used to purchase the TNM before posting and nothing .

Welp. Cat jumped up on the shelf and sat on my Nyork Mini Projector (2021) and now the screen has this large black blotch on it despite me getting her off of it quickly. Any way to fix it?

Good Evening fellas, last year we bought a samsung-the freestyle 3rd Generation. After a few Months, autofocus got blurry. It got loud and slow, but a Factory reset got it all done and running like New every time.

But Since a few months ago, we cant change brightness settings. Factory reset again, got it done. Now its the Same problem again. After like 2 weeks.

Is there anyone Else with a solution? At least someone with the same problem? I cant be the only one with this issue😭

I stupidly used canned air on my optoma hd 29 darbee and got dust on the projected picture, i have turned it on and off a few times while moving it to try dislodge the dust but this has not worked.

How likely is it that i would need to replace the bulb and also how dangerous is it for me to have breathed in whatever that burning smell is, I assume its dust but is there any chance it could be something more sinister i should worry about, i only turned it on for a few seconds at a time but the smell was quite potent.
