Form factorBasic form of the projector, in this order: if it sits right in front of the wall as an ultra-short-throw unit, it is a laser TV. If it has a built-in battery, it is mini & portable – even with a stand. A swivel stand or gimbal without a battery means compact with swivel stand. Everything else is classic, for table or ceiling.

Verdict
Pros & cons
Der BenQ MW560C ist ein heller Lampen-Beamer für Präsentationen: 4000 ANSI-Lumen reichen für Besprechungsräume, in denen die Jalousien offen bleiben, und Folien stehen randscharf an der Wand. Der Haken ist die native Auflösung von 1280 x 800 – Full HD wird herunterskaliert. Fürs Heimkino taugt er mit grauem Schwarz, 34 dB Lüfter und ohne Streaming nicht, im Büro erfüllt er seinen Zweck.
Pros
- 4000 ANSI-Lumen reichen für Präsentationen bei Raumlicht und gedämpftem Tageslicht
- Randscharfes Bild mit Modi für Tabellen und Infografiken
- Lampe hält 6000 h im Normalmodus, bis 15.000 h mit LampSave
- VGA-Eingang und RS232 für ältere Laptops und Mediensteuerung
- Startet bei Signal selbst, automatische Trapezkorrektur bis 30 Grad
- Mit 2,3 kg leicht zwischen Räumen zu tragen
Cons
- Native Auflösung nur 1280 x 800, Full-HD-Signale werden herunterskaliert
- Nur ein HDMI-Eingang, kein Monitorausgang
- Kein Lens Shift und nur 1,1-facher Zoom, Abstand kaum variabel
- Lüfter mit 34 dB im Normalmodus stört leise Filmszenen
- Kein Betriebssystem, Streaming nur per externem Stick
Der Dangbei N2 mini ist ein Mini-Beamer mit Schwenk-Ständer für dunkle Schlafzimmer und die Zimmerdecke. Er zeigt echtes Full HD mit lizenziertem Netflix, braucht mit 200 ISO-Lumen aber geschlossene Rollläden und volle Helligkeit. Schwacher Schwarzwert, unscharfe Bildränder, ein dünnes App-Angebot ohne Disney+ und kein Akku grenzen ihn deutlich ein.
Pros
- Natives Full HD, bis 100 Zoll im Dunkeln scharf
- Ständer neigt um 190 Grad, projiziert bis an die Zimmerdecke
- Netflix, Prime Video und YouTube laufen lizenziert
- Autofokus und Trapezkorrektur stellen das Bild in Sekunden ein
- Leiser Lüfter mit höchstens 39 dB im Betrieb
Cons
- Mit 200 ISO-Lumen nur in abgedunkelten Räumen brauchbar
- Nativer Kontrast 2000:1 verschluckt Details in dunklen Szenen
- Dünnes App-Angebot, Disney+, Max und Apple TV+ fehlen
- Bildränder etwas dunkler und leicht unscharf
- Kein Akku, Betrieb nur an der Steckdose
