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 Epson CO-FH02 ist ein heller Full-HD-Beamer für den Tisch, der mit rund 2.000 bis 2.800 ANSI-Lumen auch bei Restlicht im Wohnzimmer trägt. Der beiliegende Android-TV-Stick bringt Netflix offiziell mit. Der Haken: Der Stick belegt den einzigen HDMI-Eingang, ein Audioausgang fehlt, und bei voller Helligkeit rauscht der Lüfter hörbar. Für Streaming-Abende passt er, für Spiele und das dunkle Heimkino nicht.
Pros
- 2.000 bis 2.800 ANSI-Lumen reichen fürs Wohnzimmer mit Restlicht
- Android TV mit offizieller Netflix-, Prime- und Disney+-App
- 3LCD ohne Regenbogeneffekt, natürliche Farben mit rund 95 % Rec.709
- Im Eco-Modus leise mit rund 29 dB und 12.000 h Lampenlaufzeit
- Scharfes Full-HD-Bild, Pixel erst ab etwa 1 m Abstand sichtbar
- Mit 2,6 kg schnell aufgestellt und weggeräumt
Cons
- Einziger HDMI-1.4-Eingang ist vom Android-TV-Stick belegt
- Kein Audioausgang, 5-W-Lautsprecher klingt dünn und ohne Bass
- Lüfter bei voller Helligkeit bis 42 dB laut
- Input Lag rund 80 ms im Standardbetrieb, kein Spielmodus
- Kein Lens Shift und keine Befestigungspunkte für Deckenmontage
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
