Optoma HD146X for projection mapping

2/5 mapping score

Bright Full HD for very little money: a great first projector for rooms and small walls. Full HD and 3,600 lm at an entry-level price. The zoom is short (1.47–1.62), so place the projector about 1.5× the image width away: 4.4–4.9 m for a 3 m image.
