  • @alandure
    I can't imagine the time and hardwork you've put in this review. It was one of the most comprehensive and yet very interesting - not a second was wasted. One of the best reviews, based on objective evidence. Thank you so much
  • @rahuljain-vu7lc
    This projector gets the job done pretty well. youtube.com/post/UgkxS9P8zTOcmQg-hH0QeUi3dspOLyYgQ… Bear in mind it's a mini projector but all things considered the picture quality is pretty good. The attached photo is of the projector projecting onto my white closet doors. I still have not messed with the settings but I can't wait for our first family movie night on a larger scale. If you have issues with volume not working with your firestick, go into volume settings and you will find your solution there.
  • @ChrisMaherDIY
    You are the gold standard when it comes to reviews! Thanks for taking the time to do these!
  • @cowcabobizle
    I'm either having a stroke or @ProjectFarm does Projectors now.
  • @MsSjaakvaak
    This must be one of the best reviews i've ever seen, very cool! It's great to see the actual differences in picture quality in the 'shoot out' comparison. Hoping to see the LG PF610 and PF510Q soon in a review. The latter is said to be amazing with HDR, despite only 450 lumens
  • @frog_dna4344
    When looking for a projector I didn’t realise I would watch the best product review I’d ever seen in my entire life. Love the video
  • Man, I was looking to get a projector for fun, and was not sure what to expect, so I was looking at so many different projectors and this review helped me so much narrowing down my options. 10/10 review.
  • @kaan621
    I use XGIMI Halo+ at home and I'm very happy with it. We don't have tv and it's on all day long. Good thing is you don't have to place it to the middle of th room! It's staying in a corner and it can adjust the view.
  • @korg47237
    I LOVE Project Farm, and this is the best thing I've seen all week. I considered you the "project farm" for home gadgets and automation anyway so it was perfect. Very well done!
  • @nanachan281
    After watching dozens of other confusing reviews I thought I wasn't going to find something so straight forward and complete, but here we are. Such an amazing review!
  • @LM-ek2hb
    I really wish the throw distance/range were included in this review. How short of a throw and still focused and how far and still within ANSI tolerance. But this is an awesome resource for deciding which projector to purchase for casting monochrome microscopy images for taking very accurate measurements :)
  • Which one is best at image clarity? Wanbo t6 max or epson co-fh02? I know they are different cause one its portable but i just wanna know which one is better. In my country they are kinda the dame price and i need to choose between them.
  • @casey
    this is an excellent video. thanks for being so thorough!
  • @MYung023
    haha love the project farm style!
  • Just watched the LED Diffuser video, and I was super impressed with how organized & well-structured of a review it was. I thought to myself, "Certainly not ALL of their videos are of this quality" Never been happier to have been wrong 😂😂 Keep up the great content!
  • @JGree
    Fantastic reviews! Are there any non-battery-powered projectors with automatic keystoning like the XGIMI halo has? I want a projector I can travel with and easily set up in different locations without mounting, but I don't intend on using it unplugged. Hoping I can get more lumens at a similar price point this way
  • @at3o
    I'm guessing that there is a significant overlap between the audiences of The Hook Up and Project Farm 😅
  • @ScorpzVision
    My main issue with selecting the right one is how loud is it. I want one as silent as possible without being 1k...
