ViewSonic PLED-W800 vs Aipro Mini Projector: Which Ultra-Portable Smart Projector Delivers Better Features and Connectivity?

[Hardon Williams]

In the world of portable projectors, the ViewSonic PLED-W800 and Aipro Mini Portable Projector represent two distinct philosophies. The ViewSonic PLED-W800 is designed with the on-the-go professional in mind, offering a compact size and 800 ANSI lumens of brightness, making it a practical choice for business presentations. It boasts a maximum projection size of 100 inches, perfect for small meeting rooms or impromptu pitches.

On the other hand, the Aipro Mini Portable Projector leans heavily into home entertainment. With full HD 1080p resolution and 4K support, it promises a cinematic experience, capable of projecting a staggering 200 inches. It also comes packed with built-in apps for streaming your favorite content, making it more of a multimedia hub than just a projector.

So, the question arises: Is portability and practicality more valuable for your professional needs, or does the allure of a larger, feature-rich home theater setup win out? Let's dive deeper into these two projectors and see which one aligns better with your viewing habits and lifestyle.

Which to get​

I'm in the market for a mini projector and I'm torn between two options: the **ViewSonic PLED-W800** and the **Aipro Mini Portable Projector**. Here's what I've gathered about both, but I’d love to hear your thoughts on which one I should go for!

The **ViewSonic PLED-W800** is ultra-portable with 800 ANSI lumens, making it a solid choice for on-the-go presentations. It can project up to 100 inches from about 10 feet away, which is pretty decent for a mini projector. However, I'm curious about the picture quality compared to the Aipro. It seems more geared towards business use, so I'm wondering if it lacks a bit in the immersive experience for movies or gaming.

On the flip side, the **Aipro Mini Portable Projector** boasts a brilliant 1080p resolution with 4K support, which sounds amazing for watching movies or playing games. It can project an impressive 200 inches, and it even has built-in apps for streaming, which is a huge plus for convenience. The auto-focus and advanced 3D tech seem awesome too, but I'm concerned about how well it handles sound quality and if it's as portable as the ViewSonic.

So, considering picture quality, sound, user experience, and any potential downsides, which one would you recommend? Your input would really help me make a decision!

I’ve got this ViewSonic PLED-W800 Mini Projector for my class, and it’s been a solid little gadget! Sure, it doesn’t shine as bright as my big one, but it gets the job done perfectly for my PowerPoints. Super handy!

So, I got this ViewSonic PLED-W800 Mini Projector a while back and honestly, it’s been a bit of a headache. I bought it in 2017, used it just twice, and then it decided it was done and wouldn’t turn on anymore. I reached out to Amazon, and they were cool enough to send me a replacement since it was still under warranty. Fast forward to January 8th, 2018 – I got the same model again, used it a couple of times, and just yesterday, I tried to fire it up. It worked for a whole minute before just shutting itself down. Seriously, what’s up with that? Not exactly the most reliable gadget out there!
