The best Chinese projectors - strengths and weaknesses

The projector is called the heart of a home theater, but not all consumers have the opportunity to purchase this device from a famous brand.

So some are looking for the best Chinese projector for this purpose. They are usually divided into two classes:

• to cheap and cheerful - 1LCD;
• with natural color reproduction, but expensive - DLP.

Whether the acquisition of Chinese projectors will become a real find or a complete failure depends on whether the consumer has previously seen the projector live and has an idea of ​​how it works. Or he is an experienced user and he already had other, not Chinese, devices of the “optical theater”.

Weaknesses of Chinese projectors

The main technology that the Chinese prefer is 1LCD. Brand companies are more focused on innovative technologies. The conclusion is that it is not worth waiting for something incredible for little money, and there is no point in comparing Chinese devices with eminent promoted manufacturers.

To be objective, the Chinese devices can highlight the following disadvantages:

1. The case is always made of plastic, which affects the appearance of the device.
2. Such devices are sold exclusively on the Internet. Moreover, if there is a desire to save, then you should find the Chinese online store to make a purchase without intermediaries who can charge a price. Most often, consumers make such purchases on A
3. Build quality is lame. Often you can face marriage and flaws, although branded models are not immune from this.
4. There are no dust filters. The cooling system is designed so that when air is captured to cool the matrix and the lamp, dust is simultaneously captured. It then settles on the optical components of the device. In order for the device to last longer, you will need to clean it yourself.
5. Noise in the process. As a rule, it is within 45 decibels. The reason is the cooling fan. And there is nothing to be done, it remains only to reconcile.
6. For the cheapest models, the matrix and LED-lamp, as well as a transformer for recharge during prolonged use, can become very hot.
7. Bulky appearance. The more powerful the Led lamp, the more powerful the cooling system should be; accordingly, such equipment is reflected in the dimensions.

But this does not mean that each model will simultaneously have all these shortcomings. All weaknesses are quite relative and individual.
