ViewSonic PA503W vs XGIMI Halo

The brightness is shockingly better than my old one. This is a bargain projector but there is a lot of value and it functions very well. I use to have to wait until dark to use it, but I can now use it in a dim room.

There is a way around this little complicated for my wife to use as it’s been added to Kodi with links to content when in our account. Next is brightness (Lumens): The brightness it great if you don’t have ambient light and willing to watch a movie after the sun a gone down. Summer that maybe a problem as it’s usually 9pm most places and that’s late to start a movie with young family members. There was some problems with darker scenes in some movies with a single mosquito torch behind the projector that was causing some ambient light issues so we just put it out and it was fine

With COVID limiting social gatherings, I wanted to create a better experience ... and hopefully one that was easier to set up

(The remote needs an off switch) THE BAD/ NEEDS TO BE IMPROVED. **Need a case for this $800 piece of delicate equipment. I put mine in an old padded lunch pale, short term, until I can find an adequate case. But the power keeps getting turned on, either from the unit power button, or the remote - that's not good for the unit, and its a pain in my neck
