Epson EpiqVision Mini EF22: what it gives up
- 1,000 ISO lumens is a dark-room number; daylight washes it out
- 1080p only, and a 1.03 fixed throw ratio with no zoom fixes where it has to sit
- One HDMI port, so a console and a streamer cannot both stay connected
- $999 buys considerably more brightness and resolution in a less elegant box
Anker Nebula Cosmos 4K SE: what it gives up
- Fixed 1.20 throw ratio with digital zoom only
- No 3D, and no published contrast, noise or input-lag figures
- 60 Hz ceiling
- Hybrid LED-laser rather than tri-laser, so the gamut is narrower than pricier boxes
