Vamvo VF211 Mini Projector vs HP MC475 Smart Mini Projector

The HP MC475 is the better pick for most people. It has certified Netflix and other built-in apps, auto focus, dual-band WiFi and a short-throw lens that fills a wall from close up. The Vamvo is smaller and lighter, and its 180-degree stand makes ceiling projection easy, but streaming apps need a stick or laptop and it is not made for presentations. Owners rate the Vamvo highly for casual movie nights; the HP is the stronger all-rounder for a bedroom or dorm.

• Choose the Vamvo if you want the lightest, most packable projector for camping or ceiling movies and you already stream through a TV stick or laptop.
• Choose the HP MC475 if you want built-in Netflix and apps, auto focus, and a big picture in a small room without extra gear.
