There are so many aspects to the P7 Plus that are huge improvements over other projectors in its size and price. The P7 Plus on location at June Lake, Calif. Can you watch an episode of your favorite show projected on the side of a tent? Yeah, definitely. Since I doubt most people will be using this on a 100-inch glossy white screen, the lack of a contrast ratio maybe isn't a huge deal. It's gray and flat for sure, but the ultimate goal of any display is to let you watch things on it, and you can certainly do that. Surprisingly, the poor contrast of the P7 Plus doesn't render it unwatchable. That projector looked terrible in countless ways, however, so it still wasn't worth comparing here. The previous "winner" for that title was the $59 Elephas JingHuier, which had nearly three times better contrast numbers. As I said in the intro, it's literally the lowest contrast ratio I've ever measured. The P7 Plus looks flat and as a result, looks dimmer than it actually is. (That's not a typo.) For comparison, the P6X was 210:1 and the P8 was 558:1. The P8 and P6X aren't exactly contrast ratio champions, but they look like it when compared to the P7 Plus. This brings us to the main issue: The P7 Plus looks very washed out. The credit-card style remote isn't easy to navigate in the dark. It is visually much sharper than either of the others, with far less noticeable pixels. I'm not going to turn down 1080p in a projector, but given the limited lumens and how small an image you'll be creating the extra pixels are probably overkill. The P7 Plus, logically, looks far more detailed too. That goes a long way towards usefulness for a lot of people, despite its picture quality shortcomings. The P6X, however, blows them both away by a lot. So the image has more fully white pixels, appearing brighter even though the image quality overall suffers. To put that another way, things that are nearly white are "crushed" to be completely white. The P8's penchant for crushing the highlights makes it appear brighter than it is. Lips look like everyone's wearing particularly vibrant lipstick, for example.ĭespite its lumen claims, the P8 is a touch brighter than the P7 Plus by a few lumens. Don't get me wrong, it's not at all accurate, it's just close enough that you can look at it and not think the settings are messed up. The P7 Plus gets so many things right - the colors are somewhat accurate, especially for the sub-$500 portable set, and skin tones look human! Grass looks vegetative! I've seen far more expensive projectors look significantly less accurate. The P7 Plus isn't very bright, made worse by its mediocre contrast ratio. The P8 has some chonky pixels, badly crushed whites and even in the warm color mode, is quite cool. The colors of the P6X are wildly inaccurate and the video processing is wonky. This is going to sound like I'm damning the P7 Plus with faint praise, but it has the least things wrong with its image in this group. The P8 is even cheaper, but also dimmer and even lower resolution than the P6X. The P6X is basically the same price and has a brighter image, but lower resolution. Which is all to say, I don't plan on doing this single-company face-off again, but for now, these three make the most sense given the current state of projectors. The ones with batteries also typically wildly underperform those without. Even the better options have some serious flaws. This far under $500 there's not much I've found that's particularly noteworthy. When selecting the projectors to compare to the product under test, I try to keep the price and performance - and ideally both - close enough that the comparison makes sense. A rare, perhaps unprecedented, single-company comparison. Well, this is different: Three AAXA projectors head-to-head-to-head.
