While looking for a good cheap projector for your home theater setup, you must’ve come across many brands with different offerings. But have you come across one that has a built-in DVD player? The BIGASUO Projector comes with one, making it one of the best projectors for artists to buy in this price range.
Why We Like It – BIGASUO Projector
Cheap projectors that tout “1080p support” usually come with 480p (standard definition) as their native res. But the BIGASUO projector is one of the very few cheaper projectors that has 720p (high definition) native resolution instead. And it is a Bluetooth projector too, enabling you to connect Bluetooth speakers with it.
- 3000:1 contrast ratio
- Mini projector compatible with 1080p files
- Good picture quality for its price
- Not great for business or office presentations
Performance/Resolution
This portable Bluetooth projector can play 1080p files. But the native resolution comes at around 1280x720p. Basically, 1080p files get supersampled and look better than native 720p files. The DVD player supports the following format of disks: CD, DVD, CD-R/RW, DVD -R/+R, DVD+RW/-RW, VCD, and SVCD (but not blu-ray DVD). Also, it supports the following codecs for playback: MP3, WMA, VOB, AVI, MPEG1, XVID, and JPEG. If you want a projector that provides a great viewing experience thanks to its full HD resolution, high contrast, and high-quality color reproduction, consider the Epson Home Cinema 2040 3D 1080p 3LCD or the Epson Home Cinema 3700 full HD 1080p 3LCD projector, too.
Brightness/Lumens
The manufacturer touts a “5500 lumens” lamp. However, at this price, that probably isn’t true. Still, it’s relatively bright, and you shouldn’t have any complaints about the brightness range. If you still need some legit numbers, the ViewSonic 1080p Projector might be a better choice. Or, opt for the BenQ MH760 1080p business projector and the Optoma S334E SVGA bright professional projector, both of which have high lumens.
Adjustability/Viewing Angle
This Bluetooth projector probably is the best when it comes to adjustability options. It offers both vertical and horizontal keystone adjustments, has a focus controlling rotating slider, and even comes with a tripod stand on top of it. And the stand is fairly adjustable as well. But, the BenQ EP5920 digital projector works much better for portability and adjustability.
Durability
The manufacturer made little to no remarks about the lamp life or even what kind of lamp it uses to find replacements easily once a lamp dies. But with initial impressions and with other customers’ reviews, the lamp life seems to be just fine according to its price. In case you’re still worried, go for the Epson Home Cinema 1060 by spending some more.
Value
Well, at just above $120, the BIGASUO Projector provides some of the best “bangs for your buck.” According to the manufacturer, when you order it from amazon.com, you get three years of money-back warranty within the United States. But if it seems a bit out of your budget, get the AuKing Mini Projector, as it comes with similar performance, at a lower price.
BIGASUO Projector Wrap Up
The BIGASUO Projector is the perfect projector to hook up your streaming sticks (e.g., Fire TV Stick) or consoles (e.g., PS4, XBOX) using an HDMI cable to stream movies from streaming services (e.g., Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu).
