Description
The TouMei C800 portable mini-projector combines performance, portability, and cutting-edge mobile technology. This device, which is advertised as one of the smallest projectors available, can really fit in your pocket. In recent years, mini-projectors have advanced significantly, especially in terms of resolution. There was a period when there weren’t many choices for home projectors. You would have to spend an enormous sum of money if you desired a projector that wasn’t an absolute eyesore.
The market for projectors has experienced a significant boom as a result of HD technology’s downsizing. We put the TouMei C800 to the test over the previous week. We think we have a solid understanding of the projector’s specs and functionality after putting it through its paces. Our frank review of the TouMei C800 mini-projector is provided below.
Features
Dimensions
The little size of the C800 is among its most appealing qualities. The projector has dimensions of 7.4 x 5.1 x 2.5 inches.
Resolution
The C800 supports HD resolution in 1080p. When working with a device this small, it might be challenging to get as much performance as possible. TouMei has successfully snuck in sufficient gear to provide a stunning HD projection.
Screen Size
The adaptability of projectors is one of their best features. The C800 screen appeared best when it was between 30″ and 120″. We don’t see any reason why you should have trouble locating your own unique sweet spot given the wide range of screen sizes available. The projector’s wide range also increases its portability.
Lighting
The newest OSRAM LED DLP 100 Lumens bulb, which shines 30% brighter and consumes 70% less energy than other versions, is used in the TouMei C800. The impact of the light on their power bill is one of the owners of projectors’ worries. Although we didn’t have enough time with the C800 to conduct a thorough energy analysis, we have previously used projectors with OSRAM LED bulbs and have not observed a material increase in electricity usage. With a lifespan of about 30,000 hours (plus or minus 15 seconds), the LED lamp will last long enough for you to receive your money’s worth. Therefore, you could run the projector continuously for 3.5 years without changing the lamp.
Wireless Integration
The TouMei C800 projector is Bluetooth 4.0 compatible, thus it can function with genuine wireless communication if you have the appropriate equipment. Bluetooth speakers work great with the C800. You may significantly increase the sound quality by using wireless speakers instead of running unsightly cables around your house.
Hardware
By putting some remarkable hardware in the mini-projector, TouMei has done us all a favor. It has a Quad-Core ARM Cortex A7 CPU with an up to 1.2 GHz clock speed. Memory supporting the processor includes 8GB and 1GB DDR3 memory. The projector’s overall speed thus appears tight and quick. No obvious lag or hardware performance concerns were found. The OS ran without any hiccups.
Inputs
The C800 has HDMI, USB, SD card, and wired headphone input connectors if you’d want to hardwire your external devices. Although we strongly advise using the projector’s Bluetooth functionality, hardwiring is also an option. A good addition, the USB connector enables you to attach an external hard drive, USB drive, or even (there was no movement) a mouse.
Battery Life
With the 4200 mAh lithium battery included in the C800, your projector becomes completely cordless. We had enough battery life on a full charge to watch a three-hour movie. While the battery can survive the duration of a movie, we don’t advise binge watching without a power supply close by because you risk having a dead projector. A typical length movie is what we mean when we say “movie”—no Lord of the Rings or Gone with the Wind here. Least of all without the power source.
Auto Focus
In contrast to televisions, projectors could lose focus. The last thing you want to do when you’re already relaxed in your favorite recliner is stand up to adjust the projector lens. Thanks to the C800’s automated focusing and 45-degree keystone correction, this is a blessing. The auto-focusing function performed flawlessly during our testing. The 45 degrees of auto correction did a great job, even when the projector was moved around a little. Make sure to keep the projector on a sturdy surface if you’d like to reduce the amount of focus correction. An aid is the projector that comes with it.
FAQ’s
What is the ideal lumen count for a portable projector?
2000 to 4000 lumens is the appropriate brightness range for multipurpose settings. Moving on to the subject of screen size, it is advised that the projector be brighter the larger you want it to be in order to provide high- quality images.
What is the ideal projection distance?
It is difficult to determine the exact “optimal” distance between the audience sitting and the projector screen. Instead, it is recommended that seats be placed no closer than twice the projected image’s width and no farther than five times the image’s width (the furthest seat from the screen.)
Do projectors operate on walls?
A projector can be used on a wall, but for the greatest viewing experience, choose the ideal colour of projector screen paint. Grey typically performs best because it strikes a compromise between the contrast and light-absorbing properties of black and white.
Do projectors require upkeep?
Little maintenance is required for your projector to continue operating at its peak level. To avoid the projector overheating because of obstructed airflow, you might need to clean the lens from time to time in addition to the air filter and air vents.
Is a projector suitable for daily use?
A projector can be used to watch regular, daily television. It won’t harm the projector (though it might shorten the bulb life), and it’s less expensive than larger televisions, which could make viewing TV more enjoyable all around.
How do I pick the right home projector?
Finding the ideal projector for breathtaking viewing experiences and cherished family time only requires three simple actions. First, measure the room’s dimensions for the projection distance. Next, choose a projector based on where it will be installed. Choose a projector for viewing with or without lighting in the final step.
What distinguishes a high-quality projector?
A home theatre projector should have a resolution of 1920 x 1080, or Full HD & 4K UHD (3840X2160, referred to as true 4K). To be able to display HD movies or games, a good home theatre projector must have at least these pixel requirements.
Can I use my projector with my phone?
A USB-C video output port is present on almost all Android devices. The majority of projectors still use HDMI as their primary input connector you can use a regular cable to connect to your projector.
Can I use my home projector to view Netflix?
Netflix is simple to use with a projector. There are some smart projectors with an integrated Netflix app. To stream Netflix on the majority of projectors, a separate media device such a Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, etc. must be connected to the projector.
I don’t have a signal, how can I connect my projector?
Change the HDMI cable with one that is shorter if you are projecting from an HDMI source. Directly connect the projector to the video source. Use the choices on the Reset menu to reset all of the projector settings if the previous fixes don’t work.
They were employed in devices like TV and movie projectors to spread out light rays and create bigger images.
There are now five types of projectors available for purchase for homes: DLP, LCD, LED, LCOS, and laser.
Which projection technique is most popular?
India and European nations frequently employ first-angle projection. The object is positioned between the projection plane and the observer.
Why is theatre projection so crucial?
Projections are frequently utilised because they are a cost-effective technique, give the illusion of reality on stage, and give the production team more time on stage to practise with the final production design because they do not require weeks to build the set.
