As a family, we love watching movies after a long day at work and school. So we like to make sure we have the best value gear in our home theatre room<\/a> to enjoy our time together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently with the children often taking over in the home theater room, we decided to purchase another cheaper projector that can be moved around the house easily. This portable projector can then be used to show movies onto bedroom ceilings and walls. We would then save our new expensive Epson 4010 4K projector for special occasions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem was we only had a budget of $150 and we needed a projector that had a native resolution of at least 1920 x 1080 pixels in quality. Any less and it will just be a fuzzy experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We came across the AuKing 2023, 1920 x 1080p which was being used at my local church group for presentations. It’s a new upgraded version for us which will replace our older Aging Abox A2 which is only 1280 x 720p. This will be a big improvement in resolution and lux output. So I just had to get one for myself and boy was I impressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AuKing Projector, 2023<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/a>\"\"\n\n\n\n

With the latest 9500 Lumnes and 1080p Full HD resolution supported, this AuKing portable projector<\/a> brings you clear and sharp detailed images. The powerful cooling system cools the heat of the bulb effectively. This then takes the lamp’s life up to 55,000 hours.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is inbuilt noise reduction technology, and the fan noise of the AuKing projector is reduced by 80%. I like that the built-in dual stereo speakers provide you with loud and crystal-clear sound. But you can also add in external speakers if you want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Auking 2023 cheap portable projector for bedrooms, ceilings, and walls is one of the best products we have ever purchased. The 2-year warranty is also a nice touch. Plus it comes with a remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I find that I can get 30 to 200 inches projection screen size with a minimum distance of 3.2ft out to 18.5ft projection distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very bright for such a small projector at 9500 lumens and the contrast ratio is 2000:1 which makes good blacks. It supports Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, etc. but they can only be played on a TV Stick such as Roku or google chrome, etc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is replacing our old Abox A2 mentioned below. I have kept the review up for those that want to know more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abox A2 Review<\/h2>\n\n\n

\"projector<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

We have been using this Abox A2 projector for a few months now and it has been great. With a native resolution of 1280×720, it will downscale 1080p videos and images. This is a big improvement over the older T22 which only did 800×480 resolution. We like to use this projector for bedroom ceiling viewing. This way its a big screen image on the ceiling while lying down in bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like how there is a manual focus ring right next to the keystone correction ring. These were easy to turn for fast image clarity. With multiple connection methods, such as HDMI, VGA, AV, USB, SD card, and Audio Out 3.5mm. This means you can hook this projector up to anything.<\/p>\n\n\n

This projector will play the following video formats AVI, MPEG, MKV, RMVB, RM, MP4, and others via the USB or SD card slot. If you plug in a chromecast or another wireless dongle you will get access to streaming on-demand services like Netflix and youtube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many cheap projectors will have a loud internal fan. This is not the case with the Abox A2. There still is a fan, (two I believe) but its advanced cooling system means the fans can run slower so it is a lot quieter. This was a big drawcard for us as we wanted a quiet projector for the bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n

There are one inlet and one outlet for the removal of the generated heat from the LCD diode globe. This advanced cooling system blocks up to 90% of dust and particles which is great for such a cheap unit. Just be sure not to block off these vents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sound Quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Most high-end movie projectors don’t include a speaker. This is because they are designed to run through a sound system or a set of external speakers. What I like about the Abox V2 is that it has two built-in 8\u03a9 3W Dual Speakers for Stereo Sound. These are mounted under the projector and actually sound good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a space like a bedroom, the sound is actually quite loud. I could turn it up without any distortion at the higher levels. This makes it a totally portable home projector that everyone can use without having to worry about hooking it up to external speakers. Although if you want better sound it’s best to hook it up to your home amplifier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because this projector has been designed to be quiet the sound won’t need to be blaring loud to overcome the fan sound. This makes for a more pleasurable experience. Especially when you are lying down in bed projecting an image onto the ceiling, the projector will be close to you so it needs to be quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
