They present presentations, entertainment content, educational lessons. Their assortment is large, therefore, even with operating experience, it is extremely difficult to choose the required model. Having studied user comments, expert reviews, I am ready to present a rating of the best projectors of the year.
TOP-6 pocket multimedia projectors
Kid's Story Q2 Mini
The rating is opened by a relatively new model Q2, which appeared on the market at the end of 2018. The device looks very attractive, suitable for use at home, fits well into any children's room.

The cooling system will keep the inside of the projector from overheating.

Unic YG-300
The YG-300 projector is powered by an LCD matrix that supports FullHD resolution of 1080p. Brightness - 400-600 lumens, this is a good indicator: the projected screen is visible not only in a completely darkened room.
In the Kid’s Story Q2 Mini model, this figure is 700, the brightness and completeness of the picture is 16.7 million colors, the contrast is 300: 1 with a native resolution of 320 × 240 pixels, and the lamp life is 30 thousand hours.

There is a USB port for flash drives or HDD drives. A remote control is provided for control (included in the kit).

Device for more like a toy than a real projector. It has more disadvantages than advantages, especially when it comes to image quality: it is so poor that you can see pixels the size of a fist, and the sound when watching movies often lags behind video. But if this device is considered as a toy, so that the child can periodically play cartoons on it, you can take it. I would recommend for a smaller amount to buy Kid’s Story Q2 Mini: the quality of the picture, and its brightness is a little, but better. On the Yandex. Market 45% of buyers recommend this product.
Everycom x7
The projector is home, belongs to the budget category. The difference between Everycom X7 Plus and the named competitors in the rating is support for the AC3 codec and built-in Android 6.0.1, which expands the functionality of the projector, giving it support for wireless protocols (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Miracast). The device works on LCD technology with a full picture of 16.7 million colors.

But all these "tricks" do not in any way affect the poor picture quality, eerie noise and the smell of burnt plastic during a long projector operation. I would not recommend taking this model, especially if you are going to put the projector in a children's room. Price - . On the Yandex. Market 82% of buyers recommend this product.
TouYinGer T4 mini
T4 mini is an LCD projector with an LTPS matrix and an optical resolution of 1280 × 720, which is already a big plus compared to the same Everycom X7.

But if you remove all these disadvantages, then I am sure that you will be satisfied with the projector. Price - . On the Yandex portal. Market 88% of buyers recommend this product.

This projector has a very small size, it is very convenient to take it with you, although it has a built-in battery, which will last about 3-4 hours of watching movies - this is a very big plus of the model. The device runs on Android 7.1, has Wi-Fi modules, Bluetooth connectivity and many other useful "chips". But if the projector is turned on for a long time, it often starts to lose the Internet connection, and the remote control starts to slow down. I believe this is due to the small amount of RAM and not the best processor. Price - . On the Yandex portal. Market 91% of buyers recommend this product.
Cinemood Multikubik
An incredibly popular model among children. A whole library of useful and interesting content is installed in "Multicube": audio fairy tales, filmstrips, lullabies and classical music, "Kukutiki" karaoke, more than 100 episodes of animated series and even shadow theater lessons.

I think this model is clearly overestimated, because it does not have outstanding parameters or functions, and overpaying just for subscribing to cartoons does not cost such money. The model liked the new protection, which reduces the impact on vision, NFC technology, the Cinemood application. The use of streaming services, for example, Youtube, left negative impressions. The projector constantly freezes, slows down, the sound lags behind the video, etc. This device caused me more negative emotions than positive ones. Price - . On the Yandex.

Xiaomi Mijia Laser Projection MJJGYY02FM
Even the picky user will like this Xiaomi projector. The model has a short focal length. To project an image onto a 150-inch screen, just place the device 50 cm from it. The cinema projector has 3 HDMI connectors, composite, RCA audio input for receiving content from different sources. You can play video materials in 4K, like in the BenQ W1720, but with a real resolution of 1920 × 1080.
Xiaomi laser projector has characteristics similar to professional equipment - 3000: 1 contrast ratio, brightness 5000 peak lumens. All this makes the picture bright and juicy. The device uses Advanced Laser Fluorescence Display technology for rich, clear images thanks to improved brightness and contrast.
The model is more compact and the service life is significantly extended. The special design of the device allows you to avoid loss of brightness, lack of color, other defects when playing video. With the new technology, the picture is almost perfect, increasing the reflectivity to 16-18% and making the color gamut more than 85% of the NTSC standard. The device uses Texas Instuments DLP technology, which first digitizes and corrects the original video signal, and then transmits the finished image to the screen itself via a DMD chip. Therefore, the image on the screen is clear, with high detail. The picture is given a vibrant, vibrant hue. 5.4nm DND chipset lens ensures every frame is sharp. The tiny DMD chip contains more than two million 5.4 nm reflective mirrors that can rotate 17 degrees. The light from these tiny lenses is collected, creating different colors, shades, which gives an impeccable picture in high resolution.
Thanks to ALPD 3.0 technology, the laser life is increased to more than 25 thousand hours. You can watch about 10 thousand films without worrying about the device's performance. Xiaomi is equipped with a special audio system consisting of two full-frequency speakers and two tweeters.Thanks to the bass reflex, this system supports DOLBY, DTS sound formats. You can enjoy high quality sound without connecting a separate audio system. Engineers even thought out a system that protects vision, working on the principle of focusing reflected rays, which reduces visual stress. A special sensor detects the distance to the person looking at the screen, and if you sit closer to him, the projector itself will reduce the brightness and refocus the picture. A new cooling system was also included, including three coolers. Each of them has a separate duct: heat is quickly removed from the housing, and there are no problems with overheating.
Benefits:
- Beautiful view. Will fit into the design of any room.
- The ability to play in 4K.
- High brightness, contrast.
- Great audio system.
- New cooling system.
- Focusing the reflected rays, which reduces eye strain.
Disadvantages:
- High price.
- Problems with translating software into Russian.
- The USB disk comes off periodically.
Xiaomi developers have released an excellent projector model, but without fixing the main drawback of all their products - this is the lack of the Russian language, so there will be difficulties with setting up and operating. In all other respects, it is a perfect device with excellent picture quality and sound power like in a movie theater. The latest technologies and functions make watching movies comfortable and safe for the eyes thanks to a new principle of focusing reflected rays, which is not even found in BenQ W1720. I believe that eye protection is extremely important for such a technique. Price - . On the Yandex. Market 88% of buyers recommend this product.
