- Is the H500R bright enough for a living room?
- No. At 330 lumens it is best in a dark room; daylight or ceiling lights will wash out the picture. For a lit room, look at projectors rated 1,000 lumens or more.
- Does it need a streaming stick?
- No. Roku is built in, so you sign in to your apps on the projector itself over Wi-Fi.
- What screen size can it project?
- From 40 to 150 inches diagonal. The image softens at the largest sizes, so 80 to 100 inches is the sweet spot.
- How long does the lamp last?
- Vankyo rates it at 4,400 hours. At four hours a night that is about three years before the lamp needs service.
- Is $198 a good price?
- It is the only new price listed as of November 8, 2026, so there is no recent range to compare against. At $198 it is cheap for a 1080p Roku projector, but check refurbished and used listings if budget matters.
- What is in the box?
- The projector, a remote control and a power cable. An HDMI cable is not included.
- Where is the Vankyo Performance H500R 1080P Portable Roku Smart Projector cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $198.00, as of our latest check.
