Review: Probably the best in its price class - My family doesn’t watch TV, ever. But we do like to watch streaming shows during meals. Three people staring at a tablet can get old real fast. I didn’t want to hang a display in the dining room so I decided to give a projector a try. Having used several NexiGo products in the past, particularly cameras, I decided to give their budget projector, the PJ20, a try. It had a great deal for Black Friday which made it too good to pass up. This review does not touch on all of the capability of the PJ20, but it does cover my use case in detail. Unboxing the projector and getting the initial setup done is a piece of cake. I found a space at the end of the table facing a blank wall, setup both WiFi and Bluetooth, and got the keystone and focus set. First thing I found was that the image was tilted to the side. I was worried that the projector was wonked but when I pulled out a bubble level I found that the table itself had a slight tilt. Taking that slight tile and blowing it up to a 6’ across screen really exaggerates the effect. Fortunately, this could be solved with a notepad under one corner. Having a built in level and adjustable feet would have made this a bit easier (especially for people who use the projector on the road), but you can’t really expect that at this price point. Next thing I noticed was how the focus and keystone correction interact. This projector uses an optical keystone correction instead of a digital one. This has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of optical keystone is that you don’t end up with jagged effects from pixels being stretched or compressed by the keystone correction. The disadvantage you get is that the focus is not quite consistent when correcting the keystone. Depending on how much correction is applied, it becomes impossible to have both the center and outside corners in focus at the same time. This is not something you are likely to notice with video content (as long as you focus the center of the screen), but if you are showing computer content such as text it may be noticeable. Easiest solution here was to get the projector up higher. For some quick testing, a 20” stool (on the table) was good enough and put the image high enough to be comfortable for viewing while seated. When the image is straight on you can get good focus for both the center and the sides. Speaking of focus, any time you push the focus buttons on the remote, a test pattern is displayed that helps to make the adjustments. It goes back to your regular content a couple of seconds after you stop pushing the buttons. Now that it is ready to go, time to try out some media. First attempt as having the trusty tablet feed video to the projector using a USB-C to HDMI hub that I travel with. I’ve used it with my phone many times to throw content (including movies) onto TVs at hotels. I plugged it in, switching input to HDMI 1, and there was my tablet’s screen on the wall. Looked great until I started playing a movie with Netflix and everything went black. Welcome to the wonderful world of DRM (Digital Rights Management). There are warning on the product page about major streaming services not working with wireless display on the projector. Unfortunately, even a wired display has the same issue when being fed from an Android tablet. Services that don’t impose DRM, such as YouTube, displayed fine but if you have paid services, it is likely they won’t work. Time for plan B. I took an old Chromecast (second generation), grabbed a short USB cable, and plugged it into the projector. The Chromecast is plugged into the HDMI input and one of the projector’s USB ports is providing power. Turned it on, and after a minute for the Chromecast to boot up its home screen appeared on the wall. So, next, fire up the tablet again, back into Netflix, and this time tell it to cast to the Chromecast. Success! The movie was playing on the wall big as life. And by big as life, I mean an image that was 68” across (diagonal) at 92” distance from the projector face. Let’s talk about image quality. Unfortunately, I can’t give an accurate description here due to two factors that impeded my test. First, it was daytime and there was a huge amount of ambient light. The image was still watchable, but it was very low contrast. I’m pretty sure that in the evening it will be fine in that regard. Next up was the color. Unfortunately, again, I don’t have the right setup. I haven’t picked up a screen yet and was throwing the image at a wall which is a bit of a yellowish beige color. Despite both of these encumbrances, the image was still sharp and any text on screen was easy to read. For general media consumption, I’ve never seen the need for anything more than 1080p, which this projector handles just fine. Next is sound. The built-in speaker is loud. Loud enough that it caught me off guard when the movie started and I had the volume cranked as I was expecting the same tin can speakers that most computer monitors have. I had to dial the volume back to about 30% to be comfortable. You could fill a large meeting room with the sound from the built-in speaker. The fidelity isn’t as good as you get with a separate sound system though, so this was the next area I tried out. I have a Sony portable speaker that works with either Bluetooth or wired. Tried it out with Bluetooth first. It was easy to detect and setup but the sound was out of sync with the video. Yes, I’m on 5Ghz WiFi. This is a known issue with this particular speaker and I had the same issue when using it with a tablet, so no real surprise here. Pulled out an audio cable and hooked it up to the projector that way. Sound switched from the internal speaker to the Sony as soon as the cable was plugged in and it sounded great. With that we have a working streaming video setup. I do have a few improvements planned but I need to order (or wait for deliveries) on them. First off, of course, I need a proper screen. An off-white wall just doesn’t work right. That is on me and would affect any projector. Next up, the media source. Another Black Friday deal I ran across is a new Chromecast with Google TV. It won’t be here for another week but once it is I’ll be able to stream Netflix, YouTube, desertcart Prime Video, and Plex (the four sources I use for most of my content) without having to use a phone or tablet. I should be able to hook it up the same way as the current Chromecast. Last thing I’m planning to get is an adjustable projector stand so I can get the ideal height without having to worry about keystone adjustment. Of course, no product is perfect, especially at this price point. There are a few things that could be better but I won’t hold it against the PJ20 based on the price point it operates at. The biggest issue is the fan. It is loud, really loud. If you are watching a quiet show, it will be very noticeable. The case for a projector like this is mostly hollow. It wouldn’t be too hard to put a couple more fans in that run at lower speed so that one fan doesn’t have to work so hard. The fans could also be set to adjust speed based on temperature so that they don’t have to run full speed all the time. This is an improvement that wouldn’t need to add much cost to the unit. Something else that would be handy, but again isn’t expected at this price point, is a leveling system. Put a small bubble level in the top of the projector and make the feet adjustable. If someone is using the projector for a demo on the road, and the setup is ideal, being able to adjust without eyeballing and sliding stacks of paper under the feet would be much more professional. Last thing is integration with streaming. Again, probably too big of ask at this price point but still worth considering. Ideally would be to build streaming right into the projector, but I don’t see that happening except on models costing twice as much. One compromise would be to add two features. First, allow one of the USB ports to remain powered when the projector power is switched off. This would allow a streaming stick (such as a Chromecast) to stay active instead of having to boot up from cold every time the projector is turned on. The next thing, would requires the powered USB to work, is to support CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) for the HDMI ports. When my Chromecast is hooked up to a TV I can shout at the nearest Google smart device, “OK Google, turn on the kitchen TV”. The Chromecast will then tell the TV to turn on and it will be ready for use without me having to hunt down a remote. It would be great to be able to turn a projector on the same way. There you have it. For an entry-level projector you can’t ask for much more. As long as you don’t set your expectations above the price point you will be very happy with the NexiGo PJ20.
Review: Fantastic budget projector - I had a decent, big name brand, bulb projector about six years ago and recently got interested in getting another one because of the new LED/LCD technology that's currently available. I watched a lot of reviews and decided this one looked like the best all around pick for me and I was correct. This thing is BRIGHT, like watchable in a fairly well lit room bright. Of course it's best in low light as any projector would be, but I can have lights on and even curtains open (blinds still shut) with almost no degradation in picture quality. I have it set up where it's about a 100" screen and the picture is crystal clear 1080p and I have no doubt it would look amazing all the way up to the possible 300" (which I can't wait to try when I can find a space big enough for it). I also just have the thing projecting on a flat white painted wall, no special screen or paint and it looks prefect, I can only imagine how good it would look on a purpose made screen. I originally hooked up the sound output through a bluetooth speaker, but there was a slight delay in the sound making it not line up with the picture. I disconnected the bluetooth and to my surprise the built in speakers actually sound great. I'm still going to try to run a hard line 3.5mm headphone cord to the speaker for booming sound when I want it, but I'm honestly very content with the unit itself. I have the thing mounted just a couple feet over my head and the fan noise at level 8 (stock setting) is basically zero, I don't even hear it when there's any audio playing. I haven't tried hooking up to a gaming system yet, but I'm fairly confident that it will preform well. I'll update this review if it's at all laggy once I do. I couldn't be happier with this purchase, for the price of a 50" television I have a 100"+ screen that absolutely rocks. Just a note, I do have mine set up where it requires no keystone correction which should give it the best chance of optimal performance. Be aware that it projects the picture evenly, equal up, down, and side to side, so you want to be as centered and straight on to your screen as possible. As you can probably gather I have nothing but good things to say about the PJ40, but I will be brutally honest and update this review if I encounter any issues in the future. 6 month update: I have typically used this projector for 2-3 hours each evening for the last six months and it's still as amazing as the day I got it. Every person that sees the image, size, and brightness of the screen is seriously impressed. I couldn't be happier with its performance. I still haven't even bothered getting a real screen or special paint for the wall because it looks perfect on my flat white wall. I think this projector is going to last, but even if it crapped out today, I have spent the equivalent of about $1.60 a day to own it at this point (around $300 to buy and owned for around 180 days), totally worth it already. There's no need to buy a more expensive projector for general home theater use.

Ideally would be to build streaming right into the projector, but I don’t see that happening except on models costing twice as much. One compromise would be to add two features. First, allow one of the USB ports to remain powered when the projector power is switched off. This would allow a streaming stick (such as a Chromecast) to stay active instead of having to boot up from cold every time the projector is turned on. The next thing, would requires the powered USB to work, is to support CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) for the HDMI ports. When my Chromecast is hooked up to a TV I can shout at the nearest Google smart device, “OK Google, turn on the kitchen TV”. The Chromecast will then tell the TV to turn on and it will be ready for use without me having to hunt down a remote. It would be great to be able to turn a projector on the same way. There you have it. For an entry-level projector you can’t ask for much more. As long as you don’t set your expectations above the price point you will be very happy with the NexiGo PJ20.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic budget projector
*by A***S on February 28, 2025*

I had a decent, big name brand, bulb projector about six years ago and recently got interested in getting another one because of the new LED/LCD technology that's currently available. I watched a lot of reviews and decided this one looked like the best all around pick for me and I was correct. This thing is BRIGHT, like watchable in a fairly well lit room bright. Of course it's best in low light as any projector would be, but I can have lights on and even curtains open (blinds still shut) with almost no degradation in picture quality. I have it set up where it's about a 100" screen and the picture is crystal clear 1080p and I have no doubt it would look amazing all the way up to the possible 300" (which I can't wait to try when I can find a space big enough for it). I also just have the thing projecting on a flat white painted wall, no special screen or paint and it looks prefect, I can only imagine how good it would look on a purpose made screen. I originally hooked up the sound output through a bluetooth speaker, but there was a slight delay in the sound making it not line up with the picture. I disconnected the bluetooth and to my surprise the built in speakers actually sound great. I'm still going to try to run a hard line 3.5mm headphone cord to the speaker for booming sound when I want it, but I'm honestly very content with the unit itself. I have the thing mounted just a couple feet over my head and the fan noise at level 8 (stock setting) is basically zero, I don't even hear it when there's any audio playing. I haven't tried hooking up to a gaming system yet, but I'm fairly confident that it will preform well. I'll update this review if it's at all laggy once I do. I couldn't be happier with this purchase, for the price of a 50" television I have a 100"+ screen that absolutely rocks. Just a note, I do have mine set up where it requires no keystone correction which should give it the best chance of optimal performance. Be aware that it projects the picture evenly, equal up, down, and side to side, so you want to be as centered and straight on to your screen as possible. As you can probably gather I have nothing but good things to say about the PJ40, but I will be brutally honest and update this review if I encounter any issues in the future. 6 month update: I have typically used this projector for 2-3 hours each evening for the last six months and it's still as amazing as the day I got it. Every person that sees the image, size, and brightness of the screen is seriously impressed. I couldn't be happier with its performance. I still haven't even bothered getting a real screen or special paint for the wall because it looks perfect on my flat white wall. I think this projector is going to last, but even if it crapped out today, I have spent the equivalent of about $1.60 a day to own it at this point (around $300 to buy and owned for around 180 days), totally worth it already. There's no need to buy a more expensive projector for general home theater use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Much better than the cheaper projectors
*by B***M on March 10, 2026*

The projector is great has a amazing picture and the bluetooth has great connection works amazing with gaming and in my opion has a better image than my 70inch tv the brightness is easy to control and for the money it is very very good the sound quality is ok for a projector much better bluetoothed or hard wired to a speaker but all functions work great but one the remote has to be a few inches away to work may only be a problem with my particular remote or projector other than that its awesome i would give it 5 stars if i did not have the remote issue
