See what suits your routine, what you might compromise on, and which alternatives are worth a look.
XGA classroom brightness with optical zoom
Epson documents a native XGA 3LCD classroom projector with equal 4,000-lumen color and white output under IDMS/ISO methods, 1.6× manual zoom, dual HDMI, Ethernet, and an optional wireless module.
Small dark-room image with a native-panel limit
Crenova documents an 800 × 480 native LED/LCD panel, 100 ANSI lumens, and a 1.38:1 throw ratio. Its product page and manual give different maximum image sizes, so use the manual's 50–130-inch range as the narrower planning reference.
Legacy SVGA for basic classroom slides
Epson identifies the PowerLite S7 as a 3LCD classroom/conference projector with an 800 × 600 SVGA 4:3 panel and 2,300 color and white lumens. Its reviewed brochure focuses on VGA/computer connections rather than modern HDMI or streaming.
Home viewing with a stated ANSI figure, native pixels unresolved
GROVIEW's JQ818C page lists 490 ANSI lumens, a 25% zoom function, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth, and HDMI/USB/AV. Its native-resolution field reads 1980*1080, so the native pixel count remains unresolved rather than silently corrected.
Compact LED projector for wired presentations
Canon identifies a compact 1.6 kg DLP projector with WXGA-equivalent resolution, a 1.2:1 throw ratio, RGB LED illumination, and 500 lumens. Its reviewed specifications list composite input rather than HDMI and describe AC power.

Epson's HC660-specific table lists an 800 × 600 SVGA panel, 3,300 color and white lumens under IDMS/ISO methods, digital zoom, manual focus, and a 2 W speaker. Those output figures are not ANSI ratings.
Battery-powered LG smart projection for flexible rooms
LG's U.S. PF50KA page describes a 2.1 lb RGB LED projector with a battery rated up to 2.5 hours, LG Smart TV features, two HDMI inputs, USB Type-C, and stereo speakers. LG's Canadian PF50KA page conflicts on resolution and brightness, so this comparison leaves both unresolved.
Fixed-room laser UST with webOS and a regional spec conflict
LG's U.S. HU85LA materials describe a 3-channel laser UST system with webOS/ThinQ smart features and 4K UHD projection. LG regional pages conflict on native resolution, brightness, and throw ratio; those disputed values stay unresolved in the matching profile.

Native Full HD home projector with brightness left unverified
Yaber's V10 announcement describes native 1080p home/business projection, and its manual identifies a 1920 × 1080 panel and LED source. The reviewed documents do not establish a reliable ANSI output, exact throw ratio, or current streaming-app support.
720p battery projector with Android apps and disputed brightness
Kodak Photo Plus documents native 1280 × 720, an internal battery rated up to three hours, Android 9 with app access, and HDMI/USB inputs. Its product page and support FAQ disagree on ANSI output, so brightness remains unresolved.
3500 ANSI UST home projector with no built-in smart apps
Optoma specifies native 1920 × 1080, 3500 ANSI lumens, a 0.25:1 UST ratio, and a 100-inch image from 30 cm from the wall. It has HDMI inputs and 16 W audio; an external dongle is needed for smart functions.
