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 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

Der Epson EB-FH08 ist ein klassischer Full-HD-Beamer für Tisch und Decke, der viel Licht für wenig Geld liefert: 3.600 Lumen und natives Full HD tragen auch bei gedimmtem Licht ein großes Bild. Am besten hängt er an der Decke, mit Soundbar und Streaming-Stick. Der Haken: Der Lüfter ist mit 37 dB hörbar, und Apps gibt es nur per Zuspieler.

Pros

  • 3.600 Lumen reichen bei gedimmtem Licht und Restlicht im Wohnzimmer
  • Natives Full HD mit 1.920 x 1.080 Pixeln, scharfe Untertitel und Tabellen
  • 3LCD-Technik ohne Regenbogeneffekt, Farben so hell wie Weiß
  • Optischer 1,2-fach-Zoom: 100 Zoll aus 2,67 bis 3,20 m
  • Lampe hält 6.000 h, im Eco-Modus 12.000 h
  • Split-Screen und Tafel-Modus für Büro und Schulungsraum

Cons

  • Lüfter mit 37 dB in leisen Filmszenen deutlich hörbar
  • Kein Betriebssystem, Netflix und Mediatheken nur über Streaming-Stick
  • Mono-Lautsprecher mit 2 W zu schwach für Filme, scheppert teils
  • Kein Lens Shift, Bildkorrektur nur digital mit Schärfeverlust
  • Lampe muss irgendwann ersetzt werden, Lampengarantie nur 12 Monate
