ARTSEA Mini Projector vs BDQ NMini Projector

The BDQ NMini (HY260Pro) is the easier pick for most people. Auto focus, auto keystone, WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4 remove the fiddly setup that trips up cheap projectors, and the 35%-100% zoom lets you size the picture without moving the unit. The ARTSEA Mini claims a higher 1080p native resolution and a much brighter 8,000 lumen figure, but those numbers come from the listing, not from independent testing, and it has only 21 ratings. Neither is a true home-theater projector; both are budget LCD units that look best in a dark room.

• Choose the ARTSEA Mini if you want a simple plug-and-play box for a dark bedroom or dorm and the claimed brightness and 200-inch ceiling matter more to you than automatic setup.
• Choose the BDQ NMini if you want auto focus, auto keystone, zoom and newer wireless so the picture is set up in seconds and you can connect headphones or a speaker over Bluetooth 5.4.
