Hey there, it's Nick from TV Box Stop, and I'm back with an exciting new review, this time featuring the Nexigo PJ40 HD 1080p projector. If you've been following my channel, you might remember the PJ20, one of my all-time favorites with auto lens focusing. It's been my reference model for nearly two years. Today, we'll dive into the PJ40 and see if it can outshine the PJ20.
The Nexigo PJ40 boasts a native resolution of 1080p, a brighter display with 700 ANSI lumens (their brightest yet), and it's designed to impress with minimal fan noise and compatibility with various streaming devices.
Let's kick things off with the specifications:
- Native Resolution: 1080p
- Brightness: 700 ANSI lumens
- Aspect Ratio: 4:3 and 16:9
- Display Size: 50 inches to 300 inches
- Light Source: LED
- Display Type: LCD
- Manual Focus Adjustment
- Auto Vertical Keystone Correction
- Manual Horizontal Keystone Correction
- Power Consumption: 160W
- 4K Local Video Playback
- Bluetooth 5.1
- Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 AX
- Dual 20W Internal Speakers
Inside the box, you'll find:
- PJ40 projector
- Infrared remote control
- AC power cable
- AAA batteries
- Auxiliary cable
- Spare dust filter
- Lint-free cleaning cloth
- User manual
The PJ40 belongs to the full-size projector category and measures 11.3” x 10.7” x 4.8”. Its glossy front surface features a front-facing IR sensor, the Nexigo branding, and a 3-inch glass-coated projector lens. On the left, there's a removable dust filter and an internal speaker, while the right side houses an exhaust vent and another internal speaker. The I/O ports include two HDMI inputs, two USB 2.0 ports, an ethernet LAN port, a headphone jack, an auxiliary port, a rear-facing IR sensor, the AC power socket, and the intake vent for the internal cooling fan. Top-mounted manual press buttons and a sliding cover protect the focus adjustment lever. The base features screw-type anti-skid rubber feet and a screw-type kickstand, a welcome change from sticky rubber feet.
I set up the PJ40 on a projector stand, projecting onto a 76-inch DIY projector screen with anti-light high contrast 1.1 reflective gain fabric, enhancing display quality by over 50% in well-lit rooms. You can find this fabric for as low as $12 on Aliexpress or around $53 on Amazon. The display quality is phenomenal.
Boot-up takes about 25 seconds, and right out of the box, the PJ40's display is outstanding, with noticeably brighter lumens and sharp edges compared to the PJ20.
The main menu includes shortcuts to source inputs, a file manager, Bluetooth settings, DLNA mobile file sharing, an office suite for reading documents, Miracast for screen mirroring, and various settings. Notably, there's a fan speed adjustment, a unique feature, and HDMI EDID support for seamless resolution compatibility with external devices.
The included infrared remote works well, but you can connect a wireless air mouse for more convenience. The PJ40 can handle 4K and 1080p videos but struggles with AV1, Dolby Atmos, and DTS audio formats.
It excels in compatibility with Google Chromecast and Amazon Fire TV devices, offering video with audio. The HDMI CEC option works seamlessly for power synchronization. Screen mirroring with Miracast and iOS Cast is straightforward.
For looping images at events, the PJ40 provides a simple image player, but it lacks transition effects.
Gaming on this projector is a joy, with excellent display quality and minimal latency when connected to a PC.
You can enhance the audio experience by connecting Bluetooth speakers, headphones, or AV receivers using Bluetooth 5.1, with the projector even doubling as a Bluetooth speaker.
Finally, the noise level at varying fan speeds is impressive, making this one of the quietest projectors I've encountered.
In conclusion, the Nexigo PJ40 is a solid choice for a premium projector with exceptional display quality and brightness. It's compatible with a range of devices, offers flexibility in audio output, and is remarkably quiet.
