Pros
- check out the Optoma PH31 if the room is dark... Only get the PH31 if it’s cheaper than the TH575i and the room is dark.
- Optoma PH31.
- Optoma PH31. If you need more brightness than 1500 lumens, (good in a completely dark room) get a used Epson, BenQ, ViewSonic or Optoma.
- if you still insist, go for the Optoma PH31 as said here in the thread.
- Los Optoma Ph31 y PK31 tienen un tiro de 1.5:1 pero tienen de hecho un Zoom Optico a 1.65:1
Cons
- PROS - Class leading brightness - No cheap built in operating system to be buggy - Sharp corner to corner image - DLP technology - LED light source, no laser speckle - Optical zoom CONS - No built in smart operating system at all, must...
- The Optoma PH31 is the low bar. It has no built in streaming, so you would need a Amazon Firestick which adds all the streaming you could want plus Bluetooth audio. The audio on the projector is also pretty weak
- anything cheaper than the $270 optoma ph31 will be garbage that's not worth over $100
- A model like the Optoma PH31, for example, has no issue with a 50 inch diagonal image. But, it's not super easy to setup as it lacks good alignment features that many newer projectors are including. It's a great deal, if you're on a supe...
- I have the Optoma PH31 which I picked up to compare the Elfin Flip 4K to. The Elfin Flip 4K is an obvious upgrade on the PH31, but not really in terms of brightness. Both are solidly bright. But, the XGimi has better contrast, better HDR...

The Optoma uses DLP, which is used in $100,000+ movie theater projectors. Beyond the technology, the Optoma has an optical zoom lens. It also is sharp corner to corner when watching content. It also is rated at 1,500 ISO lumens, compared to 970 on the Wanbo.
Optoma PH31 is one of the best deals going. It'll be towards the high end of your budget. Perhaps a bit over, but it is, by far, the best value you will find for the money. A real DLP projector, not some bullshit Temu no-name garbage junk.
I bought the PH31 with my own money. I own it. I think it's a kick ass deal. I just think the Philips is an even more kick ass deal.
The Optoma PH31 is also a very good value. Similarly priced to the ProPix and not as bright. I'd lean towards the ProPix as the better value.
The Optoma PH31 is under $300. It has a bit of optical zoom, is rated at 1,500 ISO lumens, and uses DLP technology. It's a massive upgrade on almost anything else you will find anywhere near the price point.
