π» TCL C1 Smart Projector (get on Amazon)
Published: February 8, 2026
Video Description
Is this the best projector you can buy for around $249? In this review I test the TCL C1 the way it should be tested β with real measurements and real-world use.
In this video youβll see:
βοΈ Real brightness measurement (ISO lumens test)
βοΈ Image quality and color performance
βοΈ LCD vs DLP β why the C1 looks brighter
βοΈ Thermal camera and cooling test
βοΈ Fan noise measurement (decibels)
βοΈ Input lag and gaming mode test
βοΈ Google TV performance and app support
βοΈ Audio quality and everyday usability
βοΈ The drawbacks you should know before buying
The TCL C1 uses a large LCD light engine instead of a traditional DLP chip β and that decision makes a big difference in real-world brightness and viewing comfort, with no rainbow effect.
But is it really the best budget projector in 2026? Letβs inspect.
