Amazon is rife with projectors that cost around $100, often way less. Are any of these any good? Do any of them even work? Someone should find out. Then I realized, "Hey! I"m someone!" So I made a list, checked it twice, and then bought (OK, CNET bought) and reviewed the four that seemed the most interesting. One is less than the price of a video game, one costs less than the price of a family dinner at Chipotle. All of them, amazingly, work. Sort of. Here"s how they looked.

In every measurable way, spending $150 more will get you a vastly superior product. The best cheap projectors we"ve reviewed are substantially brighter, better looking, more accurate and more detailed. I hate recommending anyone pay more for something, but in this case, it"s well worth it. Unless you"re considering these as a disposable toy, I"d advise getting something else or saving up and getting something better.

One of the understandable points of confusion are the specs and marketing of these projectors. They"re filled with… shall we say, "gifts for fiction"? One of them claims 8,000 lumens of brightness. I measured 141. Another claimed a resolution of 1080p. I measured 240, which is the same resolution as VHS tape. Lots of marketing twists the truth to sell you a product, but these projector descriptions were especially bad.

I"m unfamiliar with the Koorui name but this monitor gets favorable reviews on Amazon and is priced at $190 with a $20 discount. That"s rare for a 27-inch monitor with a QHD resolution. Most budget monitors are rated for a dull 250 nits of brightness, but this Koorui model is rated for a more adequate 300 nits. It"s labeled as a gaming monitor because it has a 144Hz refresh rate that"s speedier than the typical 60Hz refresh rate and also features AMD FreeSync. It"s out of stock at the moment so you might have to wait for a few days or weeks for it to return.
