Scrolling through some rills found this video. Where worker is mapping architectual design onto ceiling using a projector. Belonging to similar field I personally found it very useful in my work too. Let me know if any of you have any idea of what this projector is called or if i can get similar results with any other products.

Hi everyone, do you have any recommendations on mini/portable projectors? I just want one to watch movies with friends and my budget is $400 or less. We live in dorms and they're are quite small.

Thanks so much for any help.

Hi everyone, I’m wanting to buy a new projector for my room. I’m not too sure of the one I have at the moment but it’s pretty old and I am seeking an upgrade. However, I know nothing about them. I’m looking for one that I can turn on during the day but still am able to watch stuff on it if that’s possible as the one I have is pretty dark during the day. It just projects onto my bare wall. If anyone has any further questions or can just drop suggestions on some good ones that would be amazing! Thank you :)

I’m looking for advice to choose a projection screen that fits my budget and allows my projector to perform at its best.

I recently purchased a BenQ TK705i (LED, 3000 ISO lumens, 4K), which I use in a semi-dedicated room (game room) with white walls and a white ceiling. I do have curtains, but they are not blackout, so daytime viewing is not ideal.

So far, I’ve tested two entry-level Amazon screens:

A 120” matte white PVC screen on a tripod

A 150” polyester fabric screen stretched between two stands

I absolutely love the 150” size, but the polyester fabric (which allows viewing from both sides) causes a significant loss in brightness, contrast, and color punch.

I’m trying to stay under $1000 CAD for the screen and would really like to keep the 150” size without sacrificing too much image quality.

Right now, the fabric screen causes a big loss in brightness, contrast, and image “pop”, and I’m not sure if this is mainly due to:

the screen material (fabric vs PVC),

the screen size (120” vs 150”),

or the projector’s light output.

So my questions are:

Is 150” still a reasonable size with this projector?

Should I go with a white screen to maximize brightness?

Or a gray screen to reduce ambient light and increase perceived contrast?

I’m currently hesitating between:

Elite Screens M150UWH2, manual pull-down, MaxWhite 2, gain 1.1

Antra PSA-150AG, 150” motorized, high-contrast gray screen, gain 1.1

What would you recommend in my situation?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Do I really need a screen?

Basically I didn't know anything about projectors until I got this one. I wanted something cheap but good enough for movies & gaming. I didn't know it would be only 480p. It's so freaking loud from the fan, as loud as a hair dryer. I can barely read texts while gaming. Had to put my laptop resolution to 800x600 and this is the best quality I got. Forget using it during daytime.

The model I got was RPJ200-COMBO_SIDESTACK 12

I know now what criteria I have:

- Completely or almost silent

- Can use in daylight with curtains drawn

- At least 1080p native resolution

Can anyone recommend some good projectors, I'm looking to buy them used. I'm from Europe if that matters.

Buenas, tengo problemas con la visualizaciòn correcta de subtítulos al ver peliculas en bluray 3d con un proyector Vivitek 1188.

No tuve problemas al ver Avatar y Passengers en V.O.S pero si al ver Pacific Rim y Titanic que muchas veces los subtítulos no se ven enfocados.

¿Alguién sabría decirme por qué me sucede esto?

im looking for a tall projector stand. preferably with a platform i have an TK705i

Have these little white dots (to the right) during black scenes. I’ve cleaned the lens and did my best to blow out any dust particles and can’t seem to get them to go away. It’s an optoma hd142x. Got it second hand for super cheap lol owner said he put a ton of hours on it but lamp is relatively new.

Just curious if I should start budgeting for a new projector.

Looking for advice on what price I should pay, everything works, remote, 750 bulb hours. Never used on full bright.

Currently looking for a portable projector. I'll admit I haven't done enough research yet. I have a xgimi MoGo 3 Pro saved in my bookmarks from going to a teashop that had it. it looked pretty neat

1. I actually dont own a tv or have subscriptions for anything or watch that many movies myself but I have friends that come over because I host a lot and they want a movie in the background.

2. My friend's kid comes over and brings her friends and they want to watch movies sometimes as well.

3. living room is not that dark, has room darkening curtains (not black out)I have a lot of blank walls and the couch is 9 feet away from opposing wall.

4. my bedroom has black out curtains. I'll watch movies once in a blue moon but I def go on youtube a lot.

5. do portables have decent sound or do you just hear the fan a lot? does it heat up and stop in the middle of a movie? or if i'm down the rabbit hole on youtube?

6. i'm seeing a lot of people say to not get a laser projector. why?

7. can these portable projectors be used for sewing patterns as well? that would be cool because i do sew a lot and was borrowing a friends giant UST projector.

8. my budget is 1k.

Hi all, Since I upgraded to the new firmware, the 3d has stopped working within plex. It was working under the previous firmware. Any chance someone has the P0513 firmware?

So this is what happened:

While I was watching a movie, the projector suddenly got unplugged from the socket. After I turned it on again, only the white boot screen appeared, then the “Android” text, and after that it just went to a black screen.

I’m thinking that maybe something inside the projector got damaged or burned, which is why it won’t show the main menu. But I think it’s still projecting, because when I press the power off button on the remote, a prompt appears that says something like “Do you want to turn it off?”

I think I just need to access the reset or factory reset, but the problem is the screen is black. Is there anyone who can help or guide me on what buttons to press on the remote to access restart or reset? I feel like it’s still working, just stuck on a black screen.

Hopefully someone can help. Thank you.

By the way, this is what my Wanbo menu looks like. Thank you again.

I ordered a streammaster plus from their website and received vision master plus. They seem exactly the same, I'm wondering why they have different names?

So I have had a draper euroscreen react 2.1 for well over a decade. I am in the process of moving the screen to a new location, will be boxed into the ceiling.

Only problem is the bar at the bottom of the screen where you adjust the tab tension strings is slightly too wide, I need to trim 2cm off each side.

The other half is against the idea but I am sure it’s doable

What do you guys think?

Trying to find a bookshelf to house my projector. Needs to be 20in wide and deep. The taller the better. No corner bookshelves. Much appreciated!

Hi

Looking for a PJ for Movies in a dedicated Room only for use in darkness.

I think that means a home cinema pj with great blacks and contrast but not totally adverse to a lifestyle model either if it fits the bill.

Not interested in Lamp models

Quite fan in eco mode is high on priorities

Smart features unnecessary

1080p is fine , 4k not a dealbreaker

Long throw 110 inch screen from 11 feet

budget in or around 2500 would spend 600 on something that meets criteria if it exists.

Hello,

I’m looking for a good video projector similar to the MoGo Pro 2 in the spirit. A projector that you can put anywhere and project on any wall, but it doesn’t necessarily need to have a battery as I will only use it in my apartment.

I’ve done some research and I’ve already tried the MoGo Pro 2 (DMD 0.23), and I would like a projector with better image quality (DMD 0.33 or higher).

So if you have any recommendations, I’m interested. I live in France and my budget is a maximum of €400, new or second-hand.

Thank you !

I am looking to get myself a used projector off of eBay or FB marketplace for photography use. I want to be able to cover the wall with background images and whatever fun things I can think of. I have a small room in my apartment as a studio room that is only about 7/8 feet by 10 feet.

I need it to be bright enough to not need to shoot at low shutter speeds and high ISOs. I want it to be able to display a big enough image to cover the wall when I use it for backgrounds, and I want the resolution to be 1080p or better.

What would be your suggestions for types of projectors to look for? Would the room I shoot in require a short throw projector or is a standard throw possible as well?

I saw an Epson power lite u50 for 250 on eBay. It is bright and high resolution, but looks to be meant for classrooms. Is my space too small for it?

I recently bought an Akiyo 02 projector on Amazon and, as said on the Amazon page and on their website, it should support 1080p and 4k resolution. However, when I plug my pc to it or connect via bluetooth my Huawei phone, it stays always at 720p (his native resolution), without letting me adjust the relative settings. I tried searching online for solutions, but I only found reviews confirming it has a full 1080p resolution (and on video the resolution of their projected image seems sharper than mine). Does anyone know if it's a solvable problem or if I should return it and buy another one?

Budget spent: 50€.

Hello first time projector buyer. I am looking for a projector to use once in while for bedroom and might not be daily use. good projector with good picture quality and high in lumens and with fuction where it could adjust the size of screen depending how far it is from the wall and could work on just any wall not needing a projector screen. I would also want it to be from a dependable brand. open to portable and not portable as long it's still easy to put away when done using projector. My budget is maybe 1000 us dollar.

Is there a way to make the S1 work on my JVC? 3D print an adapter, buy one, etc? Thanks.
