Small Projector Office Depot: A Review of Cheap Business Projectors

As someone who's recently purchased a projector and mounted it on the ceiling, I was excited to put my new gadget to the test. Along with some fancy wood trim and hand-painted leaves, my wife and I brought our ideas to life. However, we soon realized that these cheap business projectors from BenQ, Epson, Optoma, and others can't quite live up to their claims.

We ordered three different models from Amazon - the BEST NEW LED HD Home Theater Multimedia LCD Projector 1080P AV VGA HDMI SD USB TV S-Video PS3 WII Lamp 20,000 hours ($205), the Advanced Fugetek HD Port Ready LCD Projector with 1080i/P Compatible Resolution, HDMI Input, Playstation, Xbox, Wii and DVD Projector 1500 lumens Lamp 20,000 hours ($179), and the LED 1080P Full HD Video Projector 720p 1280x768 with Build-in Tuner 1080i Support Home Theater Game TV LCD LED. After measuring their specs and testing them out, we were underwhelmed by the results.

The models all claimed impressive brightness levels - 2000 lumens for the HTP-LED33, 1500 lumens for the Fugetek FG-637, and a whopping 2800 lumens for the Digital Galaxy DG-757. However, our measurements showed that none of these claims were remotely accurate. In fact, the three projectors we tested put out 190, 87, and 137 lumens respectively - far short of their advertised brightness.

It's clear that many cheap projector vendors publish false brightness specs to lure in unsuspecting buyers. But for those who are new to projectors or don't know any better, a big picture on the wall can be enough to earn a 5-star rating, regardless of image quality.

In our test sample of three models, we didn't find all of them to be total junk. While they're certainly not high-performance projectors by any stretch, some of them can produce a decently watchable picture - as long as your expectations are reasonable. With that in mind, if you're looking for a small projector office depot solution, there are definitely better options out there.

In conclusion, while these cheap business projectors may be tempting due to their low price tag, it's essential to keep in mind that they often can't deliver on their promises. If you're willing to put up with subpar image quality and don't know what to expect from a good projector, then one of these models might be for you. However, if you're looking for something that will truly impress, you may want to consider splurging on a higher-end model.

I hope this review has been helpful in giving you an idea of what to expect from cheap business projectors like those sold at Office Depot.
