Which to get​

Hey everyone.

I'm in the market for a new portable projector and I've narrowed it down to two options: the Hitachi CPWX8 and the Electric Focus Mini Projector. Here’s what I've gathered about each.

The Hitachi CPWX8 seems to be solid with its genuine replacement lamp, but I’m curious about its overall picture quality and sound. I’ve heard that it’s reliable and durable, but does it really hold up in terms of color richness and clarity? What about sound quality? Is it good enough for a home cinema experience, or would I need external speakers?

On the flip side, the Electric Focus Mini Projector boasts some impressive specs with 500 ANSI lumens and a 15,000:1 contrast ratio. Sounds like it’s designed for vibrant visuals, even in brighter rooms. Plus, the smart electric focus and automatic keystone correction seem like a game changer for setup ease. And I love the thought of having WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 for seamless connectivity. But, does anyone know if the sound quality matches the picture performance?

What do you think? Any potential downsides I should know about for either? Would love to hear your thoughts before I make a decision!
