Well considering you're comparing an almost $2000 projector to one that cost well under 100 bucks, the inferior projector didn't do that bad.

This projector is fine, especially for the price....

I was prepared to purchase one of these (at a very low cost) as an alternative to mounting a tv on my wall; following this video I feel much more informed about the decision, and needless to say I’ll be considering other options. Very valuable insight here, greatly appreciate your work.

Thank you for confirming this is indeed the right projector for the kids to watch Disney films on the back deck before bed in the summer time. If i was going to create a home theatre such as yours, i would know better to spend 2000 on a proper projector at a proper retailer for such ideas and plans.

How do you justify comparing a 1300 to 2000 dollar projector to a 69$ one?

I just bought a rcarpj136. It looked fine to me.

Next lets compare a lamborghini to a ford pickup...Come on man

I use this projector in my painting studio for transferring drawings to the canvas from my iPhone. Works great for this basic use. I would not use this for any movie watching. I would not call it junk because it works reliably well but expectations must be dialled way down given the price. You get what you pay for.

Seems great to me considering the fact that yours was over $1000 and this one can be found for $40

I just saw the RCA one on sale for $40. So glad I watched your video. Even for $40, its not worth it versus just watching on a TV.

Ive had this projector in my room for 3 years

I just saw the j119 and I can’t say a bad thing about it. It’s has WiFi and it connects to my Bluetooth speaker’s&,the pic is great! I’m pretty sure a high priced projector is better but If I can get half the quality for a fraction of the price I’m there. Just my honest opinion

Yeah someone gave me this projector for Christmas a year back as something to try out, mostly use it to play games and watch anime, mostly play JRPGs and the smaller text can be so hard to read specially on the left side and that whole ether have to have the top or the bottom of in focuses can make some anime subs hard to watch because some times text can be on both the top and bottom. When I do watching live action shows/movies I have to brighten it up to see. So yeah I'm keeping my options open for something better.

I just picked this up and have watched 3 movies on it so far. It’s great for what it is. Especially at the $50 price point.

I picked one up for $30 I’m not expecting much so sounds like exactly what you should expect from a cheap projector, which we’ll use for video games or moves with the kids

This thing is 100% worth it! It's a 75+ inch TV for $50, find me anything that comes close to that and ill throw this out right now. But I switched from my 32 inch HD TV to this projector, I couldn't read the small print in my video games on my tiny TV from far away. Now I have a massive TV next to or above my bed on the ceiling.(i don't even have to sit up to watch shit anymore) Yeah the pictures not great, but thats to be expected from a $50 projector. But everything on my ps4 is visible / readable / "clear" up to 70-90 inches. So if you're more concerned with size over image quality. I'd fully recommend this. Especially if you're getting as a back up to an actual tv. Also if you hook up a sega genesis or an n64 it looks perfect lol.

What i cared for this video was to see a cheap 480p proyected on a proyector screen under controled light and i found it in this video so thanx, got to say it not to shabby for 150 bucks and a little elbow grease for the screen frame

Always entertaining but informative at the same time. Great vid!

HERES WHY YOIU WANT IT. bed headboard mount Streaming stick or Chromecast 40-50 inch tv over the bed that has a sleep timer. great fun and today marked down to $25 in Family dollar stores. Is it quiet no, is its HD not really is it bright? Stop asking the wrong questions, do you have an application for it?! mine is gooseneck mounted cheaply to the wall to beam the bedroom ceiling and that is great fun. It is what it is and I don't notice the fan anymore but could easily put a cheap quieter one in or just add an analog speed control.

Works great!! For 70 bucks it is actually even better than I expected.

Very helpful review. Considering buying this soon, thanks for the review.

For 69 bucks, no one would expect better performance. It looks fine - for the price.

I have have this very projector and it works perfectly.....Once you have dialed in your setting for your environment and darken up your room .......I went to see a movie at a theater for the movie and to compare quality and believe it or not my little RCA had better quality then the theater......Since that experience i see no reason to go back to a theatre when i can get better picture and sound at home...... I do recommend Blue Rays and newer DVDs older DVDs dont look as good ......this is not the fault of the RCA its the fault of the older format on the dvds.....As far as the fan goes if you have a proper home theater sound system you wont even notice it ..... I had a $799.99 Epson yrs ago and took it back after 7 days the quality was crap to say the list among the other probs it had flash forward 15yrs and for $79.00 i now have a far soupier projector........How i came across this RCA is by accident .... I was in a local store looking for a bigger flat screen 74inh or so and then behind the counter on a shelf i saw this RCA thingy and i said what is that I looked at it hummed and hawd if i should get it ......79bucks what am i gona get for 79bucks ...... Most likely a hunk of 79dollar junk....That was 3yrs ago so by accident looking at 74inch or so flat screen i now currently have a 110inch for 79bucks not a 300.00 to 400.00 74inch bulky flat screen TV WIN WIN for me..... Now if you want to compare things I compare this to my KIA SOUL to a Cadillac ...... Cad has satellite radio bluetooth heated seats a kick ass sound system with Apple play and other other useless shit.....My KIA has Sat radio BlueTooth heated seats USB port for thumb drives so i dont need Apple play i have my play I can use my phone hands free and gas mileage OMG .... My point is my KIA has what i need not what KIA thinks i need Unlike The Cad that has all theses bells and whistles i dont need but they think you need I have no use for Apple play or Alexa or any thing that has me talk to my car looking like a lazzy idiot....I could go on and on but i will finalize by saying ...... RCA has done what KIA has done for the car they have given you what you need to enjoy movies at home without buying the Cadillac of projectors ...... Who needs all that shit when you just want to enjoy a movie at home or enjoy driving without breaking the bank.......I bought another just to put away for the day the bulb decides to die and it willl....but i have a replacement for when that day comes.....If you have have one of those high end projectors they dont cover the bulb and when it goes it will cost $300.00 and up to replace it.......So $79.00 for the one have been using for 3yrs and another for backup is real good deal.......RCA is the granddaddy of alll you watch and listen to from so GOOD JOB to them for helping bring a HOME THEARTE experience into my home .....I have Home Theater sound at home for over 20yrs now i finally have the BIG PICTURE to go with ((((((((THANK YOU RCA )))))))))))) for the sight that now goes my SOUND........ One more this for my screen it cost me about 8 bucks some green mask take i painted black with the SONY LOGO painted on the bottom center and some left over white paint from my bathrooom. to anybody who has seen it they say oh wow you have a movie screen how much did that cost I say Eight Bucks ..... 8bucks plus 79bucks and a 20 plus sound system i have a Theater that rivals the local CinaPlex in my own living room and i just live in a small apartment but when lights go down i am anywhere in the world that my little RCA will take me on my 110ich walll........... one last thing 110inch is the perfect size for movie watching any bigger you dont get the full picture any smaller the sound does not works aswell my front speakers are the same distance apart as the width of my screen now the sounds go with the images on the screen......BLAH BLAH BLAH.....THE END.........

I have an older model RCA projector from 2017. It was my first projector and, ya, it blows. I still have it. I also have a couple of ABOX 720p projectors from Amazon, which are indeed improvements over the RCA. That being said, I was able to spend $50 on eBay and get a significantly better projector than both. It's an older model DLP from Dell and is technically below 720p (4:3 ratio, XGA), as it was a business class projector, but that doesn't bother me. It's close enough that I don't really care, especially at that price. The overall image quality is still much better. Better contrast, colors, and lighting. It even holds up decently well with ambient light. However, if anyone else chooses to go the route that I did and buy a cheapo used DLP projector on eBay (plenty of them on there), don't make the same mistake I did. Buy some decent thermal paste, open the sucker up, and replace the old dried up paste on the DLP chip. Otherwise, you'll just wind up doing what I did and overheating the little chip to death. I got lucky and found a replacement chip, but it cost me $35 more than the projector did. Which is fine by me, as I'd rather spend more money than waste any, and it kept a perfectly good projector out of a landfill.

I'm 60 years old and I get so frustrated trying to get tech crap to work! I bought this stupid thing because I just wanted to watch movies outside. But I guess this old vet is stupid to figure it out. I thought it was plug and play but now I have to be an IT tech to watch brave heart!

This projector gets the job done pretty well. kzfaq.infoUgkxS9P8zTOcmQg-hH0QeUi3dspOLyYgQ6dH Bear in mind it's a mini projector but all things considered the picture quality is pretty good. The attached photo is of the projector projecting onto my white closet doors. I still have not messed with the settings but I can't wait for our first family movie night on a larger scale. If you have issues with volume not working with your firestick, go into volume settings and you will find your solution there.

I actually just bought a rca projector last night, it's not bad for what it is, they did change the lumen count on the box, it's lumen level is at 50.7 but hey 49.99 and it's very portable, it's not that bad for what it is and on a budget. Your not gonna get perfection spending under 100 dollars. It's a good starting point.

The amount of boomer that went into this is respectable.

RCA tube tvs in wood cabinets were shitty in the 1980s and they're still shitty in the projector age.

I just saw this yesterday and I want to buy it, I don’t like TVs in the bedroom but o wanted for some movie night my question is ,can I connect it to DVD player?

what resolution is the lcd panel, contained within, you could possibility change it for a 1080p one. with a compatible driver.

Wow, such a awesome presentation. Thank You

60 buck projector vs $2-3k projector. seems like it's a fair comparison?????????????

I was looking at this for a portable Nintendo switch projector, still debating just saving for something just slightly better

My children got one of these for Christmas. It has built in speakers. NO SOUND WILL COME OUT 😲

What size is the dc power plug having a hard time finding a proper replacement

Lol of course you think it sucks because you have a home theatre setup what did you expect ? It’s not for fully furnished home theatres it’s for the common person to get a slightly larger picture then they would normally get from their tv and btw I have one of these and also a 4K laser projector it’s not bad at all it’s just a little pixeled but who cares pixels have no effect on the feeling of what you are watching

Painting? Tufting rugs? This is the projector for you & RCA should pivot into more niche places to survive & stop dealing with losses while downgrading every item they make 4 times every 2 years to deal with losses from returns. RCA has to pivot or pay more & charge more. They should pivot THEN go back to making good items. I have no loyalty to them, though. I like TCL Roku TVs at this point.

My eyes suck as is so I don't need the best of the best just the best for me. But I do thank you for the video and the information about the projector

I have an RCA RPJ129 I got about a year ago. Whenever I turn it on, it lights up & then turns right back off. Any suggestions on what it could be?

You should look at the view sonic pk747 4k projector. In my opinion it's a good 4k pixel shifting projector for a living room setup.

Iovely products

Informative, thanks for the vid

How do you think this projector will perform at its smallest size and projected down on my table to be used as game mats, in dim light.

11:31 lmao

I was gonna buy one to replace my TV. After watching this, I probably should go with something higher quality.

What is the best viewing size do I think? Does it look better if I play it on 480P?

Why does my projector (this one) keep shutting off when I start a video but will stay on the screen saver ? I’m using a fire stick

I mean it's good for the price tho

Thank you! You saved me $60!

I’m at target watching this video trying to buy it but I read so many bad reviews so I don’t know now

How connect speakers and can connect thru.bluetooth

Can you use phone

Actually good

Fair price for a 90s CRT Monitor @ 800x480 resolution... Oh wait its a projector? Probably paying for the bulb.

Great video! Thx man!

why did you put a blurry picture when comparing lumens !!!!!!

Thanks for making this video. My concern for this model is its performance for replacing a Kodak Carousel Slide Projector, which did a great job showing my dad's old 35mm film slides, until that projector died. Down to figuring out solutions before an upcoming Xmas family slide show, my cousin picked up this RCA unit with the intention of using it in place of the old Kodak projector. (He will scan the 35mm slides and import them to the RCA via a laptop). I'm getting discouraged by other articles comments I've read about how 35mm slides look washed out and 2-dimensional when projected digitally, even when using higher priced projectors. So.. how do you think this RCA model would do with scanned, 35mm slides?

Does anyone elses projectors bulb stay somewhat on when the projector is off?

You are comparing a ford focus to a Lamborghini.... apples to oranges my guy...

thanks for making this video!

So that's a false advertising law suite

I pooped

Would like to see your projector to compare.

Wow I almost got one thanks

What if connect with hdmi cable will get good resolution

I found a setting to bring the brightness up but the sound on this thing is hard to set up if you use the speakers on it

How do I sign in to connect to other devices?

LOL!!!! You seriously made a video comparing a $2000 projector to a projector I'm currently considering picking up used on eBay for $29.99 as a Halloween decoration??? "As you can see, this 2004 Toyota Camry is not nearly as fast or handles as well as my 2023 BMW 7 Series."

Great comparising..that was a really bad projector (RCA),..Got my Pro (Benq) MS 507 in 2014 thats a 800/600 P native 2800 lumens celingmounted..Projectors are not cheap in Norway,so the benq is middle end..and in 2018 i ordred a P80 pocketprojector,android 7.1,1gbram/8gbstorage..and i was pleasentily suprised over the quality of that little projector(alieexpress) 480P and suprisingly bright too..Use it as bedroomprojector...year after a X2 projector pocket,2gbram/16gbstorage,android 9..480 p too..Livingroomprojector..(smartidea/aliexpress) and the end of 2019 i bought a Elephas miniprojector W90 720P contrastratio 3000:1 very good too...with over 30000/50000 hour of lamplife on those i got i am backed up...combined with a tvbox/bluerayvideoplayer and such..Happy life :)

I love my cheap RCA project . Then I have moto z4 project for my phone. Use poor people can't get that fancy project stuff.

But the people buying this probably dont have the money or space for a 150inch screen and just want around 40-50 ft

You are just comparing it to yours

Can you connect roku, PlayStation etc

If you are doing AV videos, you should be disabling all auto adjustments.

Come on..... what do you expect, you can buy twenty RCA 2000 projectors like this for the price of one Mitsubishi 4000, I think I would expect a difference, but to say the RCA is a piece of junk.... gees I don't know, it seems to work fine for the price.

Pair this thing with a fire stick and your set!

Um maybe not just take it out the box and use it set it up and use it

Thanks for save my Money....

White TV is a fitting name

I'd buy one for $10 off craigslist maybe. About it.

I bought that same projector and its trash

i have a question i just picked up a projection screen .is there a way i can find out what aspect ratio it is..?..

Hi Dear, this is Rebecca from Vankyo, i would love to invite you to test Vankyo dlp wifi projector, are you interested?

I love this guy lol

I got two for $30

All the people who purchase this junk have no clue what an honest projector picture should look like. These projectors have poor focus, poor contrast, poor brightness and zero features worth using. They say a sucker is born every minute, well these projectors are proof of that. The only person who would be happy with this is someone who has never seen a decent projector image. Might as well take your money and burn it.

for 69$ is it good for at least 32 inch picture ? :D, maybe something for a small bedroom .
