4K UHD home projector with smart features and vertical lens shift
Optoma advertises 3840 × 2160 UHD output, 3,600 lumens, manual 1.3× zoom, and vertical lens shift for the UHD55. The US page does not state an ANSI measurement basis or establish a physical native 3840-pixel panel, so those fields remain unranked.
SVGA office projector with 3LCD color output and PC-free slides
Epson documents the VS220 as an 800 × 600 SVGA 3LCD projector with 2,700 lumens of both color and white output, HDMI and VGA, and a 200 W lamp. Epson does not call those values ANSI on the cited sheet, and the model depends on conventional throw and AC power.
SVGA presentation projector with 1.1× manual optical zoom
ViewSonic lists the PJD5122 as a native 800 × 600 SVGA DLP projector with a 2,700-lumen figure, a 220 W lamp, and 1.1× optical zoom. Its sheet does not label the lumens ANSI; VGA, composite, and S-Video support favor a legacy presentation room.
WXGA business projector with HDMI and legacy presentation inputs
The InFocus IN116 user guide identifies a native 1280 × 800 WXGA image and HDMI, VGA, composite, and S-Video inputs. The accessible exact-model guide does not establish an ANSI-lumen figure; its lamp, AC supply, and conventional throw suit a measured presentation setup.
1080p home projector with wireless features and manual geometry aids
WEWATCH identifies V53 Pro, V53P, and V53S as the same version and lists native 1080p, 350 ANSI lumens, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, and HDMI, VGA, and USB. Wireless streaming claims do not establish a built-in app platform; throw geometry and battery status are not specified.
Bright 4K UHD home projector with conventional throw
ViewSonic advertises UHD-format output and 3,500 ANSI lumens for the PX747-4K, with a 0.47-inch DLP and XPR processing. Because the source does not establish a physical native 3840-pixel grid, native horizontal pixels remain unknown; its lamp and 1.2× zoom suit a measured home setup.
Full HD home projector with 3,500 ANSI lumens and 1.3× zoom
ViewSonic lists the PX703HDH at native 1920 × 1080, 3,500 ANSI lumens, a 1.3× optical zoom, and 16 ms input lag. Its ±5% vertical lens adjustment is digital rather than optical shift; the lamp, conventional throw, and AC supply suit a fixed room.
Legacy SVGA presentation projector with VGA and S-Video
HP's VP6300-series manual identifies the VP6310 as a native 800 × 600 DLP projector with a 210 W lamp and legacy analog inputs. The manual does not specify ANSI brightness; its 1.7–2:1 throw and 3.5 kg AC-powered body point to a fixed presentation room.
Pocket-size local-playback projector with a rechargeable battery
The Optoma PK120 manual describes rechargeable-battery operation, internal memory, microSD playback, AV input, VGA, microUSB, and audio out. The accessible exact-model source does not establish native resolution or ANSI brightness, so its image performance cannot be ranked from this packet.
Full HD home cinema projector with dual HDMI and stereo speakers
BenQ's W1200 manual specifies native 1920 × 1080 DLP, a 230 W lamp, two HDMI inputs, and two 10 W speakers. The reviewed manual does not establish ANSI brightness or a complete throw ratio, so those values remain unknown; lamp condition and room placement require separate checks.
Battery portable, app-enabled SD projector
The D4111 combines an internal battery, Android 7.1 with Nebula Manager, and a 100 ANSI-lumen DLP image. Native resolution is 854 × 480, so it is designed around compact, dark-room viewing rather than detailed Full HD projection.
WXGA business projector with USB slides
Epson documents a native WXGA 3LCD projector with HDMI, USB presentation functions, and a 1.2× zoom lens. Its 2,600 color and white lumens are Epson output figures, not an ANSI-lumen rating; it uses a replaceable UHE lamp and mains power.
Slim WXGA laser-LED presentation projector
Casio's XJ-A247 specifications identify native WXGA 1280 × 800, a laser-and-LED hybrid source, and 2× powered zoom and focus. The 2,500-lumen figure is not labeled ANSI in the reviewed model-specific materials; its optional wireless adapter is for computer mirroring, not documented streaming apps.
SVGA lamp projector for wired presentations
The IN112a datasheet specifies native SVGA 800 × 600, a 190 W lamp, and HDMI alongside VGA and legacy video inputs. InFocus lists 3,000 lumens without an ANSI label, so treat brightness as unqualified and plan around the lower native resolution.
Bright XGA projector for legacy presentations
The Optoma TX612 datasheet specifies native 4:3 XGA, 3,500 ANSI lumens, a 1.1× manual zoom, and analog/computer inputs. It is the TX612 model without the 3D suffix; confirm lamp condition and conventional throw placement for an older presentation setup.
Battery WXGA projector with local media playback
AAXA's M4 guide documents native WXGA, an internal battery, and USB and microSD media playback. It is an older portable LED model with modest, unqualified brightness figures; the model is identified as M4 only, without assigning the unconfirmed MP-400-01 code.
Full HD smart projector with automatic correction
ETOE's A1192 specification identifies native 1920 × 1080 resolution, 500 ANSI lumens, and Android TV 10. A 1.22:1 throw and automatic vertical plus electric multi-point correction support a flexible home setup, but the mains-powered projector still needs a measured screen position.
WXGA classroom projector with network control
Hitachi's family brochure identifies the CP-WX3014WN as a native WXGA 3LCD projector with a 16 W speaker and wired network control. Its stated 3,000-lumen output is not labeled ANSI in the reviewed materials; use exact-model documentation for placement rather than transferring sibling optics.
Native 4K lamp projector with conventional zoom
Acer's US H6810 page specifies native 3840 × 2160 resolution, up to 3,500 lumens without an ANSI label, and a 240 W UHP lamp. A 1.2× zoom and conventional throw make it a measured home installation; regional part numbers should be checked against the exact listing.
WXGA short-throw presentation projector
ViewSonic's manufacturer-authored sheet identifies the PJD6683ws as a WXGA short-throw model with HDMI, wired LAN, and a 10 W speaker. Its 3,000-lumen figure is not labeled ANSI in the reviewed sheet; a 0.5:1 throw and lamp age matter for room planning.
720p LCD home-theater projector
Hitachi's PJ-TX100 manual specifies a 1280 × 720 LCD image, a 150 W UHB lamp, zoom and focus controls, and DVI-D plus legacy video inputs. The manual does not establish an ANSI brightness figure or built-in apps, so assess this older model around its native resolution, source connections, and lamp condition.
XGA business projector with wired networking
Epson identifies the PowerLite D6250 as product code V11H397020 and specifies native XGA 1024 × 768, HDMI, dual VGA, USB, LAN, and a 5 W speaker. Its 4,000 color and white-lumen measurements use IDMS and ISO methods, not an ANSI rating. The 275 W UHE lamp and optional wireless module suit a fixed presentation setup more than a current smart-TV replacement.
XGA DLP presentation projector
Acer's X1240 sheet identifies a native XGA DLP projector rated at 2,700 ANSI lumens in standard mode and 2,160 ANSI in ECO, with manual 1.1× zoom and VGA, composite, and S-Video inputs. This is a lamp-based wired presentation model; the resolution and age make it a poor fit for high-detail widescreen cinema.
XGA DLP projector with PC 3D-ready support
ViewSonic's PJD6210-3D sheet specifies native XGA 1024 × 768, 2,200 lumens without an ANSI label, a 180 W lamp, manual 1.1× zoom and focus, and PC 3D-ready operation. It has a wired presentation profile and older inputs; the 3D-ready designation is not interactive pen support or a built-in streaming feature.
WXGA classroom projector with network presentation
Epson's product code V11H384020 identifies the PowerLite 96W, a 3LCD native WXGA 1280 × 800 projector with HDMI, network presentation, optional wireless LAN, and a 16 W speaker. Epson's 2,700 color and white outputs use IDMS and ISO methods rather than an ANSI rating. Treat it as a wired classroom model with a lamp to maintain.
Low-resolution LED home projector
B&H identifies the exact Pyle PRJLE55 and lists native 800 × 480, LED illumination, manual focus, 60–100-inch image sizing, analog and HDMI inputs, and 110–220 VAC power. The listed 1,800 lumens are not ANSI-labeled; a separate source uses ANSI wording, so the profile keeps ANSI output unknown. 1080p input acceptance does not change its native resolution.
720p LCD projector with lens shift
Sanyo's PLV-Z4 sheet specifies a 3LCD native 1280 × 720 home-cinema image, 1,000 ANSI lumens, 2× manual zoom, and substantial vertical and horizontal lens shift. HDMI and component inputs support an older dedicated theater chain. Its 145 W UHP lamp and 720p resolution put lamp condition and native detail ahead of any assumption that it is a current 4K-class option.
WXGA LED short-throw portable projector
Acer's K138ST sheet documents a native WXGA 1280 × 800 image, 800 ANSI lumens, RGB LED illumination, and a 0.8:1 short-throw ratio. Its 1.7 lb weight and two 3 W speakers help with portable placement, but it uses AC power and is not ultra-short-throw. WirelessCAST and WirelessHD are optional accessories rather than included app platforms.
XGA 3LCD short-throw classroom projector
Sharp/NEC documents the NP610S as a native XGA 1024 × 768 projector rated at 2,600 ANSI lumens, with a 0.74:1 short-throw ratio, 60–110-inch image range, and 230 W lamp. Its education and corporate positioning supports a classroom role; it is short-throw, not UST, and no interactive pen system is established.
XGA classroom projector with fixed short-throw lens
BenQ specifies the MX819ST as native XGA 1024 × 768 with 3,000 ANSI lumens, a fixed 0.61:1 short-throw lens, HDMI 1.4, dual VGA, LAN control, and a 10 W speaker. It is PointWrite-ready, but the PW02 kit and touch module are separate. Its short throw is not UST, and interactive pen support remains unconfirmed for the offered unit.
Bright Full HD DLP with a conventional lens
BenQ specifies native 1920 × 1080 DLP, 4,000 ANSI lumens, dual HDMI, and a manual 1.2× zoom. Its 300 W lamp and conventional 1.62–1.92:1 throw call for room and lamp-condition checks.
Portable conference-room XGA with ANSI-rated output
The manufacturer-authored X350 sheet lists native XGA 1024 × 768, 1,100 ANSI lumens, a 120 W UHP lamp, and modular source connections. It weighs about 3.5 lb without the video module.
SVGA office projector with ANSI-labeled light output

Epson specifies a native 1920 × 1200 3LCD image, 3,200 color and white lumens under IDMS/ISO methods, wireless projection, and a 1.38–1.68:1 throw range. It uses a replaceable lamp and does not have documented streaming apps.
Full HD lamp projector with legacy inputs
Vivitek documents native 1920 × 1080 DLP imaging, a conventional 1.6–1.92:1 throw range, and a 230 W lamp. Its sources disagree on whether the 1,800-lumen brightness figure is ANSI, so the ANSI attribute is left unknown.
Fixed 0.25:1 Full HD ultra-short throw
Optoma specifies native 1920 × 1080 resolution, 3,600 ANSI lumens, and a fixed 0.25:1 throw ratio. The lamp projector targets an 80–100-inch screen from roughly 6–9 inches and uses an external source for streaming.

InFocus specifies native 1920 × 1080 DLP, 1.12–1.47:1 throw, manual zoom, and two HDMI 1.4a inputs. The stated 4,000 lumens are not ANSI-labeled, and streaming requires an external player.
720p seasonal effects with local media inputs
AAXA documents a 1280 × 720 effects projector with manual focus, HDMI/composite inputs, and USB or TF-card playback. The manufacturer archive describes six videos; the historical candidate title says eight, so included content count is uncertain. Its 300-lumen figure is not labeled ANSI.
Full HD lamp theater with a stated ANSI rating
The manufacturer datasheet lists native 1920 × 1080 DLP, 2500 ANSI lumens in Standard mode, 1.39–2.09:1 throw, 1.5× manual zoom, two HDMI inputs, and Full HD 3D. Lamp condition and current accessories remain unit-specific.
