The brightness rating on these cheap Chinese projectors is total nonsense.
Given that Kogan is likely quoting lumens of the LED light source (as it is not using lumens rating in its specs) and that the transmittance of single panel LCD is around 5-7% for high transmittance panels, you will be looking at an approximately 200 - 280 ANSI lumens equivalent output.
The unit looks like a rebadaged AUN ET40 which goes from around $170 on Aliexpress. The quoted brightness on Aliexpress is 380 ANSI Lumens for the unit.
Imho, you get what you pay for.
Surely they're alright for the kids on a camping trip?
66 watts power consumption…
That's heaps unless you have a powered camping site…
Would quite possible flatten your car battery over a couple hours…(if you'd had the battery for a while…)
5amp so -10 amp hours… Most car batteries should be fine with that… But considering you shouldn't draw more than 50% from a battery.. Your starting to get there on smaller batteriesWhat voltage is the thing running at? It's not a 12V DC projector, it's 240V AC right?So it's not drawing 5A at 240V if it's only 66W. It's more like 0.275A which is nothing.
If you wanted it really portable, get one of these Ryobi battery toppers and run it off a 4-6ah battery.
No vehicle inverter required.@whitelie: A Ryobi 18v 5ah battery contains 90 watt hours of energy. Assuming the inverter is 100% efficient that will be enough to run the projector for just under 90 minutes. Most movies will require at least one full battery discharge. Taking inverter efficiency into account you're realistically going to need two 5ah batteries per movie. Those batteries aren't particularly light or cheap. TBH if you're camping and want to watch movies you'd be better off gathering around a laptop or iPad. Or using a crappier projector with a built-in battery (sure they're usually 200 lumens or less but that's enough to project on a tent on a dark night)
why take a projector camping?
You can project movies n stuff onto the side of a vehicle with a white sheet.
Not how… why?
@blackfrancis75: Some people go camping for extended periods of time, movies at night arent that bad.
Brian Laundrie has entered the chat.
Because it's easier than dragging your 75 inch flat screen into the bush!!
Kids these days already have a short enough attention span, with an adequately absent ability to communicate. Unless you're camping for a few weeks…let them enjoy nature's movie (a camp fire)
or, you know, do both.
We camp ( caravan) , often for weeks at a time.
Can't always do fires (cost)
Kids don't always want to do fires (get bored)Weather isn't always great and there's a need to entertain. I love a family movie at night, my kids cuddling up and bonding with the wife and I.
We would also like one where we put up a sign up let all the kids in the campground can join in. I saw another family do this once and it was great. All the kids played together the next day.
Of all the times to let your kids be 'bored' for a while, camping should be one of them IMHO
awesome fake aliexpress reviews on this too. Good find.
Interesting that Kogan says no apple devices supported, but claimed to be supported in this product. I wonder why.
Around AU$232 delivered for the android version and ~$182 for non android. Seems the kogan is the non android version.
claimed 40DBA accoustic noise, probably due to it's cooling fan, may require manual keystone adjustment(image alignment with wall).
No way that's 4000 lumens
They are special LED lumens!! Like the 200W LED light bars that only draw 60W…
Haha makes sense. Marketing lumens. Totally meaningless numbers.
Chinese lumens ≈ Kogan lumens
Should be around 220-250 ansi lumens
Is this worth a buy ? Fits my budget.. sick of watching movies on my iPad
The iPad will for sure have sharper colours than this.
Those using Lumen as unit are likely to be rubbish projectors. Serious ones usually use ANSI.
Ignore the lumen. $200 projector = toy. Kids dont mind though as they dont care about the resolution or even slightly blur/skew.They get excited just by watching on big screen in the dark. I have the same range $200 ish projector and a $2000 epson one. The difference is heaven and earth.
Why not just round it up to a million lumens?
I'm in - with a device that's portable but brighter than the sun I can use to vanquish my foes
Any reviews on this projector?
I like the price. But I'm worried about the quality. Especially as they are trying to say that the image is sharper with 4000 lumens than with 2000 lumens?
