How Significant is the Quality Increase from “Toy” to “Real” Projectors?


Toy projectors are the “cheap” ones you find on amazon, aliexpress, etc. Here’s a reviewers list of toy projectors. Jayce Review

  1. I’m just wondering how those compare to the “real” more expensive ones.

  2. Would it matter if I’ll be using it in a smallish room (around 2m in width) with little to no light?

    When you say high lumens, can you give a number?

    Will 300 ANSI lumens be good enough?

    which is around 720 Led Lumens (if the artcile I found where Led Lumens = 2.4 ANSI Lumens).

      That seems pretty low. Mine is 1600 ANSI and I wouldn’t go any lower. I would also suggest a good screen. I have the PET Crystal screen by XYScreens. It was expensive but well worth it.

      It’s been a while since I’ve used a projector - when I screened films at a cultural center - and I seem to remember that even for a small space that would fit an audience of thirty, 2000 lumens was on the lower end of acceptability.
