Panseba Mini Projector
Score: 71/100Rankings
The PANSEBA HI-04 is a compact mini projector offering long lamp life, Bluetooth audio and digital keystone correction for budget-friendly portable cinema. Its low 720p resolution and modest brightness restrict performance in bright rooms. Best suited for casual, dim-room viewing where portability and cost are primary concerns.
The AuKing M8-F is a portable LED projector offering dual HDMI, Bluetooth 5.2, and long-lasting lamp life at a low price. Its real-world brightness and color performance fall short of specifications, making it best for dark-room, casual viewing and gaming. Ideal for budget-conscious users who prioritize portability and connectivity over high brightness.

Professional reviewers acknowledge the AuKing Mini Projector's excellent portability, quiet operation, and industry-leading low input lag for gaming, but they criticize its severely overstated brightness, weak color performance, and limited suitability for business or bright-room scenarios.
Professional reviewers acknowledge the AuKing Mini Projector's excellent portability, quiet operation, and industry-leading low input lag for gaming, but they criticize its severely overstated brightness, weak color performance, and limited suitability for business or bright-room scenarios.
Professional reviewers note that the HI-04 is a budget‑friendly portable projector with standard LCD LED technology, offering decent connectivity and a long lamp life but lacking true 1080p resolution and strong brightness. They view the two‑way Bluetooth and digital keystone as useful features, while emphasizing that the device is not positioned as a premium cinema solution.
Everyday users appreciate the projector's lightweight design, easy Bluetooth pairing, and built-in speakers, praising its value for casual movie nights and travel. Common complaints revolve around insufficient brightness in lit environments and the sub-HD native resolution limiting sharpness on larger screens.
