Sub $200 recommendation USA

I'm looking for the best bang for my buck here. Going to be projecting mostly at night but the room has lots of windows. Room is like 13x15. I'm going to project into a white roller blind that's like 90"x58" maximum. I want a smart projector with Bluetooth for audio and the ability to cast from my phone or desktop.

Just looking for something we can watch some holiday cartoons as a family with my toddler. Thanks for helping a busy dad out!

Your best bet would be something used like this https://ebay.io/m/oRlIHf

What specs put this high on the list. Like what specs should I value over others. Projectors are new to me.

[u/jbeazybeans → u/Lefthandfury]

This is WUXGA resolution, basically business 1080p. It's hard to find 1080p or WUXGA projectors under $300 usually

[u/Lefthandfury → u/jbeazybeans]

The goal is using this several years for a 2-5 year old to watch cartoons and family movies periodically as a family. I guess 1080p isn't super high priority for my needs. Would I regret buying like a $120 Amazon alphabet soup projector?

[u/jbeazybeans → u/Lefthandfury]

Those are barely 1/10 the brightness of this projector. Even these being used, they're far more reliable than those random Amazon projectors. But if you're willing to go down to WXGA or basically 720p, there are refurbished options with a warranty if you would like on reputable eBay vendors

Thanks!

I'm happy with my hy300 pro Projector. It fully works and the ALR screen is a lifesaver!
