Is the Favi RioHD LED a decent projector?




dtm


Im looking for a projector for under $300 for my basement. It is super dark where i would use it at to only play xbox. I am going to build the screen using blackout cloth for the material and mount it either on the ceiling or set it on a bookcase depending of how far it needs to be for the screen size I will project it at.


Answer
No. You're looking at novelty, portable projectors. Anything under $300 is going to be pretty lousy. Unless you're only using it as a novelty item, you'd be wise to save up until you have around $800-1,000 preferably $1,000. You can probably find a decent cheap projector screen on eBay. Something from Da-Lite or Elite should be good. Just make sure you spend around $250-300.

New home theater projectors are coming out in October, so you should wait either way.


I've provided a link to a projector review site. Also, good projectors require a bulb change after 2,000+ hours. They usually cost around $200.

Remember, they are pretty loose with the 5/5s on pico and pocket projectors, lol.


Personally, I'd go with the Panasonic 5th generation projector coming out. It will probably be the PT-AE5000U and will probably cost $2,000. It will last you 3+ years instead of 3 months.

By the way, the FAVI RioHD-LED-2 is available for $247 at Amazon.com.

what is a good projector for under 300?

Answer
Doesn't exist

"Good" projectors start in the $500 range (although some definitions of good would say you need to spend at least $7-800). Consider that the lamp alone typically costs $300.

See the link for street prices, reviews, recommendations, etc.

You may find a discontinued or sale projector for $400 or so that might be considered good, and used projectors may be bought for $300 (However, most cheaper used projectors probably have limited lifetime left on the lamp).
