In this video, I put three highly-rated budget projectors head-to-head to figure out which one is actually worth buying. I tested the Goodee Google TV projector, the Wanbo Cube 1, and the OwnKnew projector by going through what you get in the box, checking out the physical build and ports, and then comparing the real differences on the digital side. I also ranked them by size and portability, because that matters a lot if you’re setting up in a bedroom, apartment, or you just don’t want a huge projector taking over your space. Once everything was set up, I ran a sound test at full volume (same mic distance for each one) and then a video test using drone footage so you can see brightness and image quality side-by-side. Honestly, all three sounded better than I expected, but the Wanbo Cube 1 had a deeper, more rounded sound. For picture quality, all three looked great in a darkened room, with OwnKnew standing out as one of the brighter options. My final takeaway: Goodee is the pick if you want the snappiest Google TV experience, Wanbo is great if you want a compact design with strong audio and a big screen from up close, and OwnKnew is for anyone who wants a bright image plus a unique OS with extra apps and even web games.
