Neo

I 100 percent recommend this projector. it's even on sale now. I bought one and I love it. I have owned a few projectors in this price range and this is miles better then anything I have owned.

As someone else mention the danbei neo is absolutley brilliant and for 230 euro however I am looking at upgrading now

I've had two separate LEDs projectors from Amazon over the last four years and wanted to upgrade on a budget. I purchased the Dangbei Neo Mini this week and was completely blown away. It's a laser projector with incredible quality video and brightness. It was around $279 Canadian, so definitely within your budget. Edit: fixed a typo

Reviews are bought. If you look around here there’s a giant stream of people asking why their happrun or magicube or other $100 projector has a burn mark or is stuck in boot up. They are all crap til you get up to the basic dangbei xgimi or Anker projector and those at 300-400 arent very bright but at least might last a little while

I’d say go for something with high lumens (3000+ at least) if your room has windows, even with shutters, since brightness really matters in real use. Most modern projectors already come with built-in speakers, and they’re fine for casual watching, but if you want a proper cinema feel later, you can always add a soundbar. Also, built-in DVD players are pretty rare now, people usually just plug in a streaming stick or console instead. Brands like Dangbei are worth checking out since they’re known for easy setup, good brightness, and solid all-in-one features, which sounds perfect for what you’re looking for.
