The best mini projectors in the UK 2023

The Vanyo V630W has a native resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. This means you'll see a clearer real-world FullHD image compared to a projector that only offers a native resolution of 1280 × 720 pixels or lower. If you're a gamer, the higher resolution will make it easier to see distant objects and textures will appear sharper. The V630W has a brightness of 6,800 lumens while the original V630 model offers 6,500 lumens.

The Vanyo V630W supports a wide range of devices thanks to its diverse set of connectors. You'll find two HDMI inputs, a VGA port, an AV/composite port, and of course the ability to stream smartphone content via Wi-Fi. The original model, the V630, only offers a 45° keystone adjustment. This V630W, on the other hand, supports just over 50° and comes with a handy automatic vertical alignment feature.

Even at the entry level, resolution is still a pretty important factor. The Vankyo L47C stands out from the crowd by offering a native resolution of 1280 × 720 pixels. Previous models had 480p as their native resolution. This essentially means you'll see a clearer picture with more detail in video games and movies. The L47C has a brightness of 5000 Lumens and this should allow you to enjoy decent viewing quality even when there's a light on or the sun is out.

The Vankyo L47C can support a full set of multimedia devices thanks to its various connectors. The Vankyo L47C has two HDMI ports for all your modern devices. This is the port you'll use most of the time. You can connect Roku, Apple TV and Amazon TV dongles, video game consoles, Blu-ray players and more with this input. You also have legacy ports for your older devices: an AV/composite input and a VGA port.
