**Not recently offered under $100**
If you want the brightest option under $100, that’s the Groview JQ818C which is over two times brighter than the next brightest projector and consequently finished first in the side-by-side testing. The Groview also had the loudest speakers and acceptable input lag numbers for gaming. But all that brightness comes at a cost, because the fan is louder than most at 48.4 decibels and the Groview is roughly three times as big and uses 3x as much power as the rest of the projectors in the video. Still, almost 500 ANSI lumens for $99 is pretty incredible.
