4K projector with 3,750 ANSI lumens and touchscreen for just over $200: Such a fantastic offer could well be a scam

[Redaktion]

A new projector with a touchscreen is currently available at an affordable price. The model allows for flexible set-up, does not necessarily require an external player and can be projected on the ceiling or other surfaces at unusual angles.

I know how they can pull this off for $200.

They'll get a 2160p IPS panel which is like $50. They'll throw the original LED backlight strip away; instead, they'll use a bunch of super-powerful LEDs. They'll also get some basic image processing chip that flips the image. They'll stitch it all together and put it inside a cheap plastic case with a huge and extremely loud fan. There you have it, folks. Be prepared to bring your own USB-C charger capable of delivering 100 watts.

To me, it's not looking like a Scam, it IS a Scam. To get 3750 ANSI, you must have a very powerful (i.e. energy sucker) LED or Laser, a very strong cooler and size to contain all this. And a 4k optics is expensive too. For $200? Good luck buying this...

Guys, it's called Ding Dong 4000, I mean come on. It's gonna work in 720p for 10 minutes and after it'll set itself and Your room on fire, what else do You expect?

Probably NOT a scam.  4K laser projectors that cost less than $5000 USD aren't really 4K.  They use pixel shifting on their native 1080p resolution to create the illusion of 4K.  BUT your eyes CANNOT really tell the difference between true 4K and pixel shifted 4K! 

I have no doubt this 4K projector's native resolution is actually 1080p but renders 4K by shifting those pixels around. Hence the $200 price tag might seem somewhat reasonable and NON scammy...

There is a Swedish company that did Android 12 with 4G also at www.estelle.com - I think you can find it for 500 Eur on some German stores.
