NexiGo PJ40 (Gen 3) Projector with WiFi and Bluetooth, D65 Calibrated, Native 1080P, 4K Supported, Projector for Outdoor Movies, 20W Speakers, Home Theater, Compatible w/TV Stick, iOS, Android

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.

Overall, this little projector is great! I'll cover the items I tested and my thoughts on all of them along with a Pro/Con list. Let's start with the setup. It was very simple and fast to get from brand new start up to using the projector wirelessly. Next is the Miracast/IOS Casting. Both worked well for the supported devices I tested (Android 14 Tablet and iPhone 15/iOS 18.2). Both worked for projecting the screen and watching video. Bluetooth Speaker function also worked when tested from my Google Pixel Phone. USB/Network Storage Video/Photo/Media player worked very nicely out of the box. You can attach a jump drive with videos and can play them from the projector directly or setup a media server to serve the content. Online firmware update worked as expected and there were not hiccups applying the firmware. Pros: Fast setup and usage is intuitive throughout the menus. Multiple inputs makes it very easy to have different devices projecting. Image quality is good and Auto Keystone 4D works well. Color is very good an using the HDR setting makes it look as close to the original source as possible. Cons: This was the only major one in my opinion: Wireless on my network setup would not support WPA3 so I was limited to 2.4GHz only even though this lists 5GHz support. These are all minor: Also, cannot set time and date, it will do it automatically when connected to the internet. Cannot use American time settings (so it always displays military time instead of 12hr clock). Also, Miracast is supported on my Pixel device only Chromecast... Not a deal breaker, but it limits me to using only my tablet and iPhone. Overall, it's a nice little projector and it's worth a look and a buy.

I wanted a projector to show movies outside with family and friends. I’ve never had a projector, but I’ve used other NexiGo products and liked them, so I tried this NexiGo PJ40 (Gen 3) Projector. I wanted something relatively inexpensive and easy to use. This projector fit the bill. Basically take it out of the box, plug it in, connect to your Wi-Fi and you are ready to go. I do not always read all of the included manuals, but was able to navigate through the projector’s menu with relative ease. There are a lot of options for dialing in the picture, but I was ok with the default settings. I set up projector about 20 feet from an outside wall and the picture was about 13 and a half feet by 8 and a half feet. It was very bright even though we have a lot of ambient light in the area. The sound from the internal speakers was ok. The speakers can go very loud, but they loose a little clarity when turned up. They would probably be ok if you were using them inside in a smaller venue or for a business presentation. I liked that the projector had a lot of different options for connectivity, either wired or wireless. I found with my setups, I had some lags with wireless, but the wired connections were great. The projector is well built and is very portable, however it does not include auto focus so you will have to do it manually each time you set it up. You will need to remember this depending on where you locate it. (I have mine on top of a portable 7’ stand.) This is not an issue if you are permanently installing in one location. Overall I think this is a solid projector for its price and would recommend it to anyone for their first projector.

I don't have a lot of projector experience. I owned an Epson prior to this purchase. I wanted to get another projector for my bedroom, to watch TV & Movies in bed at night. I'm a huge fan of Nexigo's webcams so I wanted to try their projector. Unboxing the projector, you can immediately tell this projector is a high quality build and doesn't feel cheap like some of the others I've tried out in stores. It has a little weight to it, and feels very solid. I mounted a shelf on the wall next to my bed, specifically for the projector. I'm projecting onto the wall near the foot of my bed, approximately 12 feet away. That wall does not have a projector screen, or special projector paint on it. It's standard benjamin moore paint. However, the picture quality is exceptional. The epson I previously owned was also a 1080p projector, however, the quality from the Nexigo is even better. The built in speakers on this unit are also amazing. I used to have my previous setup with two Apple homepod Mini's to get enough sound. However, this Nexigo projector has very high quality build in speakers and I don't feel the need to add any additional sound sources. These speakers are definitely great for my needs, as they are plenty loud and good quality. To be honest, I've only found two very minor cons to this projector: 1) The power cord wasn't long enough. I believe it was 6 feet, but it wasn't long enough to reach the floor from the shelf I mounted it on. Not a big deal, I spent $10 and bought a longer one. 2) The internal fan is a little loud IF you place the projector on the brightest setting. However, I normally have the projector brightness set at 5 out of 10....and I can't hear it at all due to the HVAC/AC system. Overall I have to say I'm extremely impressed by this projector, especially for the price. I would highly recommend it, and will update my review with some photos.

My choice of this Nexigo projector was influenced in major part by my complete and total satisfaction with the company’s Nexigo N970P Zoom-certified 4K webcam. I concluded that a company that could make a perfect webcam, would not know how to make a crappy projector. And I was right. My one regret is that I bought the PJ10 projector and not the company’s top-of-the-line PJ20 model. The reason is simple. 10,000 lumens of brightness is better than 8,000 lumens of brightness, and a 5-watt speaker is better than a 3-watt speaker. I can do nothing about the brightness of my 8000 lumens version, and for that, I pay a high price when I want to use the machine during the day or in brighter than low-light conditions. But the speaker size is not a problem because of the machine’s easy connectivity with any large external amplified speaker. Of course, to be fair, the PJ20 that I prefer costs more than the PJ10 which I bought. The PJ10 5.1 Bluetooth model comes with most, if not all the bells and whistles that one can reasonably expect in a projector that costs under $300. This multi-function remote-controlled projector has an impressive digital zoom range, adequate brightness for a low-lit room; a wide range of source connection options including USB, thumb drive, computer, Apple and Android cell phone, television, VCR as well as, VCD. This makes the projector extremely versatile. However, I definitely have a few recommendations for improvement. Having discounted my observation for the possibility that I may have failed to see all that I should see, the manual makes no reference to a very important part of the projector. I refer to its angle elevation device. The machine comes with 4 stub legs attached that keep it very stable when operated in a flat position on a desktop. However, to maintain that flat angle you must either have a screen that can easily be lowered, or a projector stand that can easily be raised, or both. To help with this problem, the PJ10 comes with a flimsy screwed pole that can extend for approximately an inch, and which has the effect of raising the front of the projector and thereby adjusting the angle of its projection. This is better than nothing, but I would have provided a much sturdier device and one capable of raising the front of the device by at least 2 inches. I would also have preferred that the pole came with an extension stop so that it could not be screwed out completely. Finally, I strongly recommend that this pole be identified in future diagrams and that something be said about it. In the meantime, I readily used any stable object that extends the width of the machine, and on which I could rest the two front legs. It is definitely not the ideal situation, and it is a bit tacky. The overall impact of this deficiency would cause me to reduce Nexigo PJ10’s score by 1%. Finally, I eventually figured out how to operate the keypad for things like connecting the PJ10 to my locked internet modem/router which requires the use of a password. An improvement in the clarity of the manual’s instructions would definitely have helped to reduce the frustration in my learning curve. Eventually, I figured it out. For that, I reduced the company’s score by 1%. In summary, the Nexigo PJ10, while inferior in some ways to its Nexigo PJ20 brother/sister, is an excellent projector, and much better than the other lower Nexigo models. At the heart of a projector is its lumens rating. Because the lumens value cannot be adjusted upwards or downwards as yet, the consumer needs to purchase the one that best suits his/her most frequent requirements. Higher lumens value-rated projectors cost more dollars and consume more electricity which also costs more dollars. So carefully select the one you need. Nexigo can definitely benefit from a communications consultant who can help with making their manual more step-by-step and user-friendly. By way of disclosure, I am a communications consultant, and I do specialize in children-modeled, step-by-step user-friendly instructions. I am therefore likely to be biased and am possibly setting the bar too high for Nexigo. Chances are, the majority of consumers would find the Nexigo manual to be in no way lacking. I am therefore giving the Nexigo PJ10 projector a 98% approval overall rating, and a 100% rating for value.

Update (12/1/2022): Issue below turned out to be a short-term hiccup. It's back to it's normal operation, which is to say good, if not bright, picture, and very loud fan. Again, for the money, it's reasonable, as long as you know what you're getting. Update (11/16/2022): Turned it on today to find some pretty obvious vertical lines running across the entire screen. No idea why, and I've let it run for a bit to see if maybe this was a product of the room getting colder, but lines are still there. Unfortunately, it's outside the return window, so I guess I'll have to live with it until I'm ready to replace with something better. As I noted originally, it's cheap, so I knew going in that I was taking a chance. Given what I know now, I would not purchase again. If you want a projector for something where noise and reliability aren't a big deal, I guess this might suit your needs, but I think most folks should consider saving up longer and buying something with better quality. Original review: It's a $200-ish projector. As long as your expectations are in keeping with that price, you probably won't be disappointed. I was able to get a pretty good picture with my pull-up projector screen, and gaming, even FPS, is responsive enough to not ruin the game. Speaker is not loud enough to be sufficient, particularly with the fan noise, so plan on some sort of external speaker or headphones. Biggest downside of this projector for me is that it uses a hinged fresnel lens to handle keystone adjustment, and the more adjustment you use, the more difficult it becomes to keep the entire screen in focus (at more extreme keystone adjustments, the top or bottom of the screen tends to go out of focus). In the end, I settled for leaving some slight keystoning in the image, in favor of better focus. Again, given the price, I don't really expect better, but if you want a perfect picture, you're going to need to look at something in a higher price range. Pros: - Nice picture (again, for the price) - Bright enough for my needs (dark room / basement) - Cheap Cons: - Difficult to focus, and nearly impossible to get all areas of the screen focused, particularly if you're using the keystone adjustment - LOUD! - Gets washed out quickly by just about any ambient light - Remote is very basic, and on-screen menus are usable, but not great

The last projector I owned was over 20 years ago and it was crazy expensive and near top of the line at the time. Now on Amazon, I've purchased two projectors, both of which blow away the quality of that one for a fraction of the cost! The first one I bought was about $50 and I couldn't believe the quality, it just wasn't very bright. I researched a few other options for the best all around Native 1080p projector and the Nexigo PJ series continued to appear in so many lists of best projectors under $500. In fact, the Nexigo constantly rates better than much more expensive projectors in this same range. And at least when I purchased, Amazon had a great extra coupon discounted over the current price. After unboxing and setting up the projector, the 4D Keystone Correction was incredibly easy to use and adjust to ensure a perfect fit on my fixed-frame 110" screen. To ensure best quality, I was able to mount the projector near centered on the screen, so keystone adjustments were minimal, but it's amazing how nice it is to get perfect geometry even if the projector is at a slight angle. The next step was connecting a video source - and originally I was using a wireless HDMI transmitter/receiver to avoid running cable across the room. Unfortunately, the wireless HDMI introduced too much audio/video delay which wasn't able to be corrected in my audio receiver or other devices in the path. Next step was running the video source (Roku) right into the projector and using Bluetooth connectivity to my audio receiver. This too introduced too much audio delay. Ultimately, I ended up buying a 30' HDMI cable and running it directly. This removed some of the bottlenecks in the process which ended up being the best option as all signals up to 4K60 HDR 10 are retained in full, and Dolby Atmos and highest audio formats are decoded without delay or issues resulting in the best possible picture and audio. In terms of picture quality, the Nexigo PJ40 (Gen3) with updated firmware blows me away for a 1080p native resolution! It's VERY noticeable how much better a 4K signal looks when the projector decodes it and downsamples to 1080p as opposed to a standard 1080p signal. Honestly, when watching on such a large screen from a distance of about 10' on my couch, everything is sharply focused and unless you have a 4K screen right nearby, it can be difficult to tell the difference. Obviously, if there's text on screen like when playing a video game or scrolling YouTube, etc... you will see the text is not as sharp as on a native 4K resolution screen. But watching a movie -- very hard to tell. One of the other aspects I didn't think about is how well colors are reproduced when using a proper screen. This projector rated near the top for percentage of color reproduction on the SDR scale. But the fact it also supports HDR and simply downconverts, the colors seem more vibrant and rich than most other projectors in this same price range. The only big negative I have is the total brightness. But considering this is a LED light source, it's significantly brighter than my expectations and brighter than the $50 projector I had been using the last couple months. But watching this projector in a completely darkened room, it looks absolutely brilliant! And technically, you can adjust the brightness by adjusting the fan speed. Fan noise is proportionate to the overall brightness due to the heat generated by brighter light. If you set the fan to 10, it's loud but the screen is bright. Lowering the fan to a 4, the brightness drops but the fan becomes very quiet and not noticeable at all with good quality movie audio running. And while I don't even mind the fan noise at level 10, the brightness drop wasn't too significant when watching in a completely darkened theater room even at setting 2 which is near silent. The fact you have so much control over this really is a huge bonus. One more slightly negative could be the minor lag time if playing video games which require quick timing. I tried a few out, and was able to play successfully, but the delay was noticeable enough to be somewhat annoying. I'll stick to my high resolution high framerate monitors for gaming. Lastly, I will also say the amount of control you have over the image within the menu is really impressive for a projector in this price range. So many settings, which actually do what they say they do! I discovered many projectors have settings that don't do anything. In this case, if you know how to calibrate colors and go through the detailed steps to optimize your settings, you will be pleased seeing realtime results of proper adjustments of brightness and contrast, and even deeper into RGBCMYK settings. Highly recommended for anyone thinking about an affordable projector and not ready to shell out the exponentially higher prices for Native 4K devices. (My friend owned an Epson 4K HomeCinema unit several years ago, and while it was definitely brighter, it wasn't THAT much brighter and the 4K resolution really only mattered when watching 4K UHD discs. The difference was negligible and the cost was nearly 6 times what I paid for the Nexigo PJ40.)

First, I am not what I would consider a “tech-person.” Things have to be very simple for me to try to figure out when it comes to technology. So, I was super thrilled at how easy it was to set up the PJ10 in terms of setting up the language, figuring out the focus, screen tilting, getting connected to the Wi-Fi, etc. The remote control is simple to use, but sometimes pushing the buttons wouldn’t always get me to the place I wanted to be. I found myself pushing the buttons multiple times in some instances to get to the screen or choice I wanted to get to. But to me, this is more of a minor annoyance than it is a major issue (I’m probably pushing buttons too fast, or off center, etc.) Also, the picture, color, clarity of the projection is stunningly magnificent, and the project is lightweight which is also a plus!! The only problems I had was really maneuvering through the menus to figure out how in the heck to get things (computer, iPhone) connected to mirror images. Some of the problem actually lied in the connected devices and trying to figure where to go what to do, etc. This had less to do with the projector itself. I’m pretty sure that if I just used connector cables like my HDMI cord, I would have got this thing up and running quite soon. But the draw for me to this project was the fact that I didn’t have to use any of these other connections to use it. I also couldn’t not figure out the Bluetooth function for the iPhone easily. I was able to figure out the iOS mirror screening from the iPhone but when I actually tried to mirror a movie from my iPhone to the projector, it would only do the sound from the projector, but not the actual picture itself. But again, I’m not sure that the problem is the projector, it’s probably me…LOL. Once I was able to figure out how to actually mirror and/or duplicate/extend my media from my computer to the projector, it became a whole lot of fun. The only thing is that you may have to connect a component audio source speaker because there is very little bass in the sound from the projector and the sound is a bit tin thin. However, there is very little fan noise coming from the machine which is ten times better than my old projector which made SOOO much noise and got so darn hot after a while, I had to shut the apparatus off. This is not the case with this projector. It hums quietly so as to not interfere with your viewing entertainment. Overall, I am satisfied with the projector, I just think I have to get a lot more practice in figuring out the Wi-Fi connection piece so I can continue using it without having to hook up any additional wires to it. Also, it does seem that I have to put in the Wi-Fi password each time I turn the machine back on and I’m wondering if there is a way that the Wi-Fi password stores itself into the projector, so I don’t have to spend time typing it back into the projector each time I use it. I give it an overall rating of 80%. It’s a pretty cool machine.

Excellent product. Pure joy to use it.
