Choosing a budget projector is a gamble. Most of them look great on paper and tempt you with a nice price, but only a few are actually worth the money. I got the NexiGo PJ40 Projector here to test and let you know if the 700 ANSI lumens and 1080P are worth it!

I've owned several budget projectors and the PJ40 is the best I've had under $250 (I got it for $210 on sale). It is much brighter and better color/contrast than I expected and is great for backyard movie night (with a supplemental sound system). I've used it on a 135" screen and the kids and wife love it.

This is what I bought for my projector, Gator Cases Padded Nylon Mixer/Gear Carry Bag with Removable Strap; 12" x 12" x 5.5" (G-MIXERBAG-1212). It is a perfect fit, padding is okay, outside pocket for remote and cables. Made of excellent cordura, should outlast projector easily. Like that it comes with shoulder strap. Fits nice & compact when I pack for karaoke shows. Was $36.50 when I bought it a couple months ago. You can probably find such a deal online.

@jonbedet 10 ай бұрын

Thank you for the review. I'm looking at getting this projector. One note: the latency is in most reviews measured at 50-60 ms, but that's still grey area for FPS gaming.

@NexiGoOfficial 9 ай бұрын

A quick update: we have made a few changes since the review last year. The projector now boasts a higher contrast ratio and approximately 20ms of low latency. Hopefully, it will be reviewed again. If not, we can post a testing video in our channel's monthly FAQ section.

That's great news. Firmware update? I'll check for the updates and report back. Will add my findings to the written version of the review. I've seen your Kickstarter. Looks like you are making strides :) we should talk more about it 🤗

@@notenoughtech Please switch to game mode and disable any Zoom/Keystone settings if you have applied to the projector. What equipment did you use for testing? We used the Leo Bodnar for latency testing. We will also publish a summary of updates in the next couple of weeks.

Thank you. Could you tell me where is the game mode? I checked the picture modes but there is no game preset?

@peca89 10 ай бұрын

How's the focus consistency when you compare top and bottom part of the picture and the projector is tilted. Standard tilt angle that corresponds to fully extended adjustment leg and projector placed on horizontal surface. I'm asking because PJ20 is very bad unless it is perfectly horizontal.

@notenoughtech 10 ай бұрын

You'll find that the more screwed the image is the harder it is to focus once keystoned. First the most important is the distance from the projection wall. The further away the bigger depth of field. then keystone settings will decrease the image size causing pixels to be recalculated for new areas which may result in digital blur. I had decent impressions and sharpness but I only had to lift the projector a couple of degrees.

@ThePurrrfectKitty 3 ай бұрын

I also have a question about the positioning of this projector. Should i place it only in the center, or I can put it on the side a little bit and than adjust the angle? I want to use it in the bedroom and dont want to put it on the wall above my head)))

@notenoughtech 3 ай бұрын

The projector shoots straight so it will expand equally in each direction - if you add an angle to it, you will need to use keystone feature to correct the skew and in result you will lose some of the resolution

Is there anyway to NOT have the bottom display info show up after each video? I’m using this for outdoor decorations, and a bunch of different short video clips play or I have them on repeat, the bottom display showing for about 12 seconds every time the video is over kind of ruins it.

@notenoughtech 9 ай бұрын

Not to my knowledge but you can join the clips together and have it show up less often

Has anyone found a good case for this? It's in-between sizes. Most cases are a bit small and the ones I have found to fit are very expensive! Any recommendations would be great. I prefer a hard plastic, Amazon does have a soft fabric bag/case. But looking for case.

I guess you could find a pelican hard case that fits the bill. That would be a bit of an overkill tho
