You can enjoy images with brightness that is more than adequate not only at night, but even during the day.
Because it supports projection up to a maximum of 200 inches, a 4K resolution (3,840 x 2,160), and HDR10+, it faithfully expresses sharp contrast and fine detail in video.

It has a brightness of 2,100 ISO lumens and supports projection up to a maximum of 180 inches at Full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080).
Additionally, streaming services like Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video come pre-installed, so once you connect via wired LAN or 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi, you can immediately enjoy anime and movies!

Outstanding Cost-Performance DLP Projection Projector, Dangbei Neo
The Dangbei Neo is an accessible model that significantly reduces the price compared to the two products introduced so far.
While the Dangbei Mars Pro weighs 4.6 kg, the Dangbei Neo features a lightweight design of only 1.42 kg.
Its small size and portability are major appealing points.
However, it does not compromise on specs.
Using an LED light source with DLP projection, the Dangbei Neo achieves a brightness of 540 ISO lumens.
You can enjoy a high-impact viewing experience by projecting Full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080) onto a large screen of up to 120 inches.

You can purchase it on Rakuten for a limited-time price of 59,800 yen (tax included).
Powerful Ultra-Compact Projector, Emotn N1
Dangbei's sub-brand, Emotn, offers the Emotn N1.
At the time of its release in February 2023, it attracted attention as the world's first home projector with official Netflix licensing.
The Emotn N1 emits a brightness of 500 ANSI lumens from a body small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, measuring approximately 18.2 x 12.7 x 20.3 cm.
The OS performance, including menu screens, is snappy, and the powerful specs that rival its compact size are delightful.
Since it has an official Netflix license, Netflix can of course be launched with a single button on the remote control.
It also features hotkeys for "Amazon Prime Video" and "YouTube."
For its cost-performance, the Emotn N1 received an award at VGP 2023 SUMMER in the following category:
- Multipurpose Projector (Lifestyle / 50,000 yen to under 100,000 yen) Category
As reviewed by the SaigaNAK editorial department, its accessible price and tiny body make it the perfect unit for a projector debut!
The Emotn N1 is available on Rakuten at a limited-time special price of 42,850 yen (tax included)!
