Full HD home-theater projector with two-axis optical lens shift

Epson maps V11H653020 to native Full HD 1920 × 1080 and separately lists 2,300 white and color lumens, not ANSI. A 1.32–2.15:1 throw, 1.6× zoom, two-axis lens shift, and 250 W UHE lamp define its installation and maintenance tradeoffs.

GooDee's YG420 manual lists LED illumination, a 440-lumen company figure, wired HDMI/USB/VGA/AV inputs, and a 60-inch optimum screen size. Its native-resolution entry is printed as 128*720RGB, so the exact pixel count remains unverified; 1080p is an accepted input, not a confirmed native panel.

4K UHD home cinema with lens shift

LG specifies 4K UHD output, 2000 ANSI lumens, a hybrid laser/LED source, optical zoom, and lens shift for this AC-powered home-cinema model. Its webOS platform reduces the need for a separate streamer, while conventional throw placement and discontinued status make room measurements and exact-unit checks important.

Legacy XGA presentation with long throw

The SP870 is a lamp-based XGA projector with DVI-D, VGA, and older video inputs. BenQ's manual gives a long-distance placement table but no ANSI-lumen rating, so it is best considered for a known legacy presentation chain rather than a brightness-filtered or modern home-cinema setup.

LG's PF1000U pairs Full HD output with a 0.29:1 ultra-short-throw lens and webOS functions.
