![]() The P7 Plus, logically, looks far more detailed too. That goes a long way towards usefulness for a lot of people, despite its picture quality shortcomings. The P6X, however, blows them both away by a lot. So the image has more fully white pixels, appearing brighter even though the image quality overall suffers. To put that another way, things that are nearly white are "crushed" to be completely white. The P8's penchant for crushing the highlights makes it appear brighter than it is. Lips look like everyone's wearing particularly vibrant lipstick, for example.ĭespite its lumen claims, the P8 is a touch brighter than the P7 Plus by a few lumens. Don't get me wrong, it's not at all accurate, it's just close enough that you can look at it and not think the settings are messed up. The P7 Plus gets so many things right - the colors are somewhat accurate, especially for the sub-$500 portable set, and skin tones look human! Grass looks vegetative! I've seen far more expensive projectors look significantly less accurate. The P7 Plus isn't very bright, made worse by its mediocre contrast ratio. The P8 has some chonky pixels, badly crushed whites and even in the warm color mode, is quite cool. The colors of the P6X are wildly inaccurate and the video processing is wonky. This is going to sound like I'm damning the P7 Plus with faint praise, but it has the least things wrong with its image in this group. The P8 is even cheaper, but also dimmer and even lower resolution than the P6X. The P6X is basically the same price and has a brighter image, but lower resolution. Which is all to say, I don't plan on doing this single-company face-off again, but for now, these three make the most sense given the current state of projectors. The ones with batteries also typically wildly underperform those without. Even the better options have some serious flaws. This far under $500 there's not much I've found that's particularly noteworthy. When selecting the projectors to compare to the product under test, I try to keep the price and performance - and ideally both - close enough that the comparison makes sense. A rare, perhaps unprecedented, single-company comparison. Well, this is different: Three AAXA projectors head-to-head-to-head. From left to right: The AAXA P6X, P7 Plus and P8.
