Philips NeoPix Easy+ Projector

As a big movie and gaming geek, as well as online media consumer, I've always been interested in projectors, however I know they are not generally so 'budget' friendly or even SPACE friendly in some cases.

This is why the Philips NeoPix Easy+ Mini Projector interested me, it has a small form factor, it's quiet, it's bright and it supports up to 1080p. That sounded PERFECT to me.

When I first got the NeoPix Easy+ out of the box I was rather hesitant, the box felt really light and I didn't have much expectations to be honest due to this.

Taking it out revealed a shiny matte finish silver box with some plastic buttons on it, vents and many I/O ports. As someone who has only ever seen the LARGER oldschool projectors, I wasn't sure it was going to do anything for me.
However, I can safely say I was wrong.

Plugging it in, I went through a basic setup, used the very easy to use keystone adjustment to get it set up on my wall from around 5ft.
All extremely simple, even connecting it to the WiFi (although I was an idiot and used the buttons on the top to enter the password rather than the faster remote, doh).

Once connected I could wirelessly play YouTube, media, music and films I have bought, that was SO COOL. Only having power plugged in gave it an extremely portable footprint. Not to mention you have all the inputs to hook up to any media devices you can think of.

The image was crisp, bright and was pleasing to the eye, I sat and watched an entire movie right after and I really enjoyed the freedom of being able to have a 80" screen on the wall from only like 2 metres away, that's incredible!

I've been using it to play YouTube media at night and even going to start using it to project images for photography / cinematography due to the brightness of the unit.

If you are looking for a budget friendly, bright, compact and innovative projector, you can't really go wrong with the Philips NeoPix Easy+.
