Portable SVGA classroom projector with a short throw and stated ANSI output
ViewSonic specifies native SVGA 800 × 600, 2600 ANSI lumens, a 0.9–1.08:1 throw ratio, 1.2× manual zoom and a 5 W speaker in a 2.5 kg lamp projector. Its short throw helps in small rooms; the 4:3 low-resolution panel and older analog connections are key limits.
XGA classroom projector with HDMI, wired control and separate light-output methods
Epson identifies the V11H687020 PowerLite 98H as a 4:3 XGA 3LCD classroom projector. The model sheet lists 3000 color lumens by IDMS and 3000 white lumens by ISO, 1.48–1.77:1 throw, 1.2× manual zoom, two HDMI inputs, RJ-45 control and a 16 W speaker.
Fixed Full HD home cinema with manual lens shift and an unlabelled lumen estimate
Sony specifies three SXRD devices with 1920 × 1080 effective pixels, an estimated 1800-lumen output, a 215 W mercury lamp, 1.6× manual zoom and substantial vertical/horizontal manual lens shift. Two HDMI inputs and LAN/RS-232 control suit a fixed room; the exact unit's lamp condition remains unknown.

Epson identifies the V11H450020 3010e as a native 1920 × 1080 3LCD home projector with 3D, WirelessHD through a transmitter and two built-in 10 W speakers. Its 2200 color IDMS and 2200 white ISO figures are not ANSI ratings; exact throw and current unit condition need checking.
Native 720p home projector with Wi-Fi mirroring and legacy inputs
The Uyole manual labels the model L720 (W16), specifies native 1280 × 720 and 1080p input support, Wi-Fi screen mirroring, HDMI/USB/VGA/AV and wall, ceiling or tripod mounting. Its 6000-lux claim is not ANSI, streaming-service mirroring is blocked by content protection, and the manual's screen-size range conflicts across sections.
Native Full HD home projector with a modest stated ANSI rating
TMY identifies product code V68 and states native 1920 × 1080, 150 ANSI lumens, 5G Wi-Fi mirroring, Bluetooth 5.1, HDMI/USB/SD/AV and 50–100% zoom. The maker says protected streaming needs an HDMI source; no throw ratio or battery life is specified on the checked page.
Autofocus Full HD home projector with a stated 700 ANSI lumens
ULTIMEA identifies Apollo P40 as a native 1080p home projector and states 700 ANSI lumens, autofocus, auto keystone, dual-band Wi-Fi and 10 W speakers. A U0320/P20 naming conflict remains in ULTIMEA's product collection, so check the exact hardware label; throw ratio, battery and supported streaming apps remain unconfirmed.
XGA meeting-room projector with manual zoom, HDMI and LAN control
BenQ's MX768 manual specifies native XGA 1024 × 768, a 1.6× zoom lens, two HDMI inputs, USB reader/display functions, wired LAN control, a 20 W speaker and a 310 W lamp. BenQ's launch material says 4000 lumens without identifying an ANSI method, so that claim is not used as an ANSI match value.
XGA projector with a conventional measured throw range and optical zoom
Acer's official store identifies X1223H product code MR.JPR11.00B and specifies native XGA 1024 × 768, up to 3600 lumens, a 1.96–2.15:1 throw range, 1.1× optical zoom, vertical digital keystone, HDMI and a 3 W mono speaker. Acer does not label its lumen figure ANSI.
Battery-powered pocket projector with USB-C video and HDMI input
Philips GoPix 1 GPX1100/INT is a 245 g LED pocket projector with native WVGA 854 × 480, a 1.2:1 throw, USB-C video/power, mini HDMI and a 3 W speaker. Philips rates its 3600 mAh internal battery for up to two hours in Eco mode and recommends an image up to 75 inches in a dark room; no ANSI-lumen value is established.
Conventional XGA meeting projector with manual zoom
Sharp/NEC identifies a 3LCD XGA projector with a 3500-lumen rating, manual focus and zoom, and a conventional throw range. The lumen method is not identified as ANSI, so the model suits buyers who need its documented format and placement flexibility rather than a verified ANSI threshold.
Native Full HD NEC presentation projector
The exact NP-PE401H manual documents a single-chip DLP projector with native 1920 × 1080 imaging, manual focus and zoom, and a 4000-lumen figure whose ANSI method is not stated. It brings more panel detail than NEC's XGA models, while brightness and room placement still need careful comparison.
Fixed-lens short-throw Full HD home projector
Optoma identifies the base GT1080 as native 1920 × 1080 DLP with a fixed short-throw lens, 2800 lumens not labeled ANSI, and vertical keystone adjustment. It can suit a compact gaming or movie room, but the no-zoom lens makes exact screen distance and image size important.
Pocketable WXGA LED projector with PC-free file playback
Vivitek documents the Q6-GY as a 475 g WXGA LED projector with 800 ANSI lumens, Wi-Fi, HDMI/MHL, and a file viewer with 2.5 GB user memory. Its small size is useful for carry-between-room presentations, but AC power, WXGA resolution, and a 2 W speaker define its limits.
Matched dual WXGA projectors for passive 3D lessons
Epson's W16SK is a matched two-projector classroom system: each unit has a WXGA panel and 3000 color and white lumens, while the two-unit 2D system is specified at 6000 of each. Passive 3D requires a compatible silver screen, so setup and package completeness matter as much as headline output.
XGA meeting projector with USB slideshow playback
Epson documents the PowerLite 1221 as a native XGA 3LCD meeting projector with 2800 color lumens by IDMS and 2800 white lumens by ISO 21118, plus HDMI and USB JPEG slideshow playback. It suits legacy office material better than high-detail video and its light-output figures are not ANSI.
ANSI-rated WXGA projector with conventional zoom placement
BenQ documents native WXGA, 3500 ANSI lumens, a 1.21–1.57:1 throw, 1.3× zoom, LAN control/display, and a 10 W speaker. Its adjustable conventional lens is useful for a meeting room, while its lamp-based design and lack of a documented app platform keep it a work projector.
ANSI-rated SVGA projector for legacy classroom sources
Optoma's manufacturer datasheet identifies native SVGA 800 × 600 DLP, 2600 ANSI lumens, a 1.95–2.15:1 throw, 1.1× manual zoom, and frame-sequential 3D up to 720p. It suits a measured legacy presentation setup, not modern Full HD video.
Lens-shift Full HD home projector with dual HDMI
Epson identifies the Home Cinema 1080 UB variant V11H262120 with native Full HD, horizontal and vertical lens shift, a 2.1× manual zoom, and dual HDMI 1.3 inputs. Its 1600-lumen figure is not labeled ANSI, so installation flexibility and source compatibility are clearer strengths than a hard ANSI brightness claim.
Legacy SVGA presentation projector with manual lens
Sharp/NEC's VT440/VT540 manual gives the VT440 a native 800 × 600 panel, manual zoom and focus, a 160 W lamp, and conventional 1.2–12 m projection distances. The manual does not state ANSI lumens, so this older office model suits compatible legacy material rather than brightness-led modern home use.
Full HD home projector with LG Smart TV and ultra-short-throw placement
LG's US HF65LA page specifies native Full HD, an integrated LG Smart TV platform, a digital TV tuner, and an image up to 100 inches from 15 inches away. The checked US source does not establish ANSI brightness, and the model is discontinued, so plan for a dark room and verify the exact unit and its app support.
Full HD SXRD cinema projector with optical lens shift and 3D support
Sony documents three native 1920 × 1080 SXRD panels, 1700 lumens without an ANSI label, a 1.6× manual zoom, vertical and horizontal lens shift, and 3D synchronization. This lamp-based home-cinema model suits a fixed room with placement flexibility, but its age and exact lamp condition matter.
