ABOX A6 budget projector

I picked up the ABOX A6 projector and wanted to share my thoughts. It claims some big numbers on Amazon, like 4,000 lumens, but the reality is much lower. In my experience, these cheap projectors are more like 100-200 lumens and that’s only really good for a small screen. The projector uses a single LCD panel which hurts the color and contrast. You can also tell from the online reviews that a lot of people got a discount or free item for their posts. It feels like a toy and not a true home theater projector. A cheap TV from a big box store would be better for daily use. I think a projector like this is fine for playing around with, maybe for the kids or projecting on a wall outside on a dark night. What's the biggest difference you've noticed between a cheap and an expensive projector?

Budget projectors are great for a chill movie night, but for everyday viewing or a home theater, even a cheap TV is gonna beat most basic projectors in terms of being brighter, clearer, and easier to deal with.

@moumou_857 Thanks! I guess we have to deal with it. It is not that bad but I guess I have to read more reviews before buying online.

you know, beyond the image quality, the biggest difference I've noticed is the noise level.
cheaper projectors have loud fans that you can't ignore, especially in a quiet room.
the cooling systems in expensive projectors are much more advanced, so they run nearly silent. Also, the lens quality on cheap ones is terrible, the focus is often soft around the edges, no matter what you do
