Update: Nexigo has pushed an update to the Nexigo PJ40 Gen2 that enables the Gamma correction menu! Great news for anyone who already has one.

You're legit one of the best reviewers on YT

[MrTjnielsen]

I am constantly impressed by the sheer comprehensiveness of your testing, and all the factors your reviews consider.

[maskettaman]

I'm always blown away by how thorough and detailed these reviews are. Thanks for making them!

[isuxkwp]

Regardless of price, regardless of size, regardless of closed and open optical paths, regardless of durability, this kind of comparative evaluation really opened my eyes.

[sigma_z]

The BEST reviewers on YT without the need for SPONSORS making everything biased. He tells it as it is with facts

[jagcheema]

This man is the most detailed and in depth product reviewer on YouTube. I had 2 subscribe because of the effort you put in your videos.

[lulul]

these videos are so detailed, i can only imagine the amount of work that goes into making these, even making the effort to talk to manufacturers about stock of the diferent versions just so consumers would know there's asignifficant diference. good job!

[animal]

thank you for including footage with black actors to give a varied sense of how numerous scenes and movies types might look, especially in terms of contrast and brightness

[edgarmejia]

When I started watching this vid I thought: 31+ minutes?!! No way. Dude, this was as good as it gets. Awesome job. Thank you!!

[kwqugzv]

The Paris Rhone projector is available on their website for 499 right now making it an even better deal.

[bharatsapaliga]

One of the best review videos out there.. like I am not even talking about projector review videos but in general.. this is how detailed a review should be. Wow.. instantly subscribed. Keep up the good work.

[antonyhakini]

Damn these videos are thorough. Thank you for all the work you do on this channel. Every time someone asks me about projectors, I send them your channel's URL. I've been rocking my Happrun H1 since october 2023, and I'm loving it!

[idkfpv]

Thank you man, this is the one video I've been waiting for

[pakmandan]

This is absolutely amazing and significantly important work. Putting these companies claims to the truth and exposing poor products and over priced hype.
Great work!

[liamlvp]

This guy has so many projectors to review. Very professional. Nice

[Sankovski]

Probably the most comprehensive and concise reviews on portable projectors of various prices, thank you !

[AngelaLindsay-yq]

I bought Paris Rhône Ultra 4K in mid-2023. At that time, the brightness was 1w lumens. The difference in brightness was huge. The 4k effect was good

[ThatsPety]

To me it's crazy that Amazon companies can straight up lie about specs and get away with it, like projector brightness. This problem is also rampant with battery bank capacities

[owencalder]

Dude this video is legitimately so high quality I immediately subscribed just cause you honestly deserve it if you make this great of a video 😭
