The iCODIS G6 Video Projector<\/a> is just one of a seemingly endless variety of such low cost devices. While most budget projectors struggle with resolution and overall brightness, the G6, as a clear point of differentiation, doesn’t. You get a WXGA (5:3) resolution of 1280×768 at a bright 3200 lumens and a 3000:1 contrast ratio. Projected size is anywhere from 60 – 120 inches diagonal, so it doesn’t skimp in that area either.<\/p>\n

In the box you get the projector itself, a Quick Start Guide, HDMI cable, stereo composite cable adapter, VGA cable, power cable, and remote control. You’ll need to supply two AAA batteries<\/a> for the remote.<\/p>\n

The contents.<\/p><\/div>\n

The G6 unit itself is feature-packed. You get headphone, AV (stereo composite), USB (x2), HDMI (x2), and VGA ports, as well as all the expected menu, picture, and keystone correction controls. The LED light source is rated to last 30,000 hours, which is about 1,250 full days of usage, or over 3 years of 24\/7 viewing.<\/p>\n

A function breakdown.<\/p><\/div>\n

While the speaker is satisfactory, it’s not something to blast, which is pretty much true of any projector. If you need more oomph from the speakers, take advantage of the 3.5mm audio output jack.<\/p>\n

The quick video that follows shows me using the projector with a Steam Link<\/a> running at 1080p\/60 in a non-darkened room, projecting on the ceiling.<\/p>\n
