A lamp-based classroom and office projector with native XGA, a 4:3 frame, modest optical zoom, and VGA-era video connections. Epson's 2,200-lumen white and color figures are not labeled ANSI, so they should not be compared directly with ANSI-rated models.

Battery-powered 720p viewing with Android apps

A portable 720p DLP projector with Android 7.1, automatic focus and keystone, HDMI and USB inputs, and a manufacturer-rated battery mode. Anker lists 300 ANSI lumens, so its all-in-one convenience is best weighed against modest light output and the age of its app platform.

iCODIS Theater-live T700

HDMI-rich home projection with unresolved native detail

The T700 page lists broad external-source support and a 50–200-inch image range, but the manufacturer's native-resolution evidence is ambiguous: the product page claims 1080p while a grouped FAQ gives a 720p-native answer without tying it to the T700. The profile leaves native pixels and ANSI output unknown.

HP's vp6300-series manual gives model-specific throw and offset data for the vp6320 and documents DVI-D, VGA, S-video, and composite-era connections. The checked source passages do not settle a comparable ANSI rating or native pixel count, so those values remain unknown.
