Know What You Need – The GooBang Doo T20 LCD Projector

One of the things I ask people who come to me for tech advice is, “How are you going to use it?”

Folks are most often disappointed in an electronics purchase because they go into it with unrealistic expectations. The think they’ve found the bargain of the century only to discover they’re trying desperately to squeeze an inexpensive square peg into a pricey round hole.

Take the GooBang Doo T20 LCD projector, for example.

This is really a great piece of equipment at a very reasonable price as long as you don’t expect it to serve the same purpose as a 70-inch UHD Flat screen. It’s not meant to.

The T20 has all the inputs you need (2 USB, Full size SD, HDMI, monitor) and all the functions you could want if you use it for the right application.

This is a killer presentation projector. It’s extremely light and portable, throws a good clear picture at reasonable distances, and is well built enough to toss in a check-in bag without worrying it will be destroyed by the baggage carousel.  The Included IR remote has all the buttons you need and is responsive for both video watching and presentations (the projector has IR receivers on the front AND back).

It’s terrific as a second big screen for the kids to watch cartoons and play video games without complaining about having to use the “little TV”. In fact, the T20 is adjustable enough to make their “TV” the biggest in the house.

Will it be your main viewing device? No. Do you want to pay to have it mounted to the ceiling? No.

But with all these bells and whistles and, if your expectations are realistic and you know what you’re buying, I doubt you’ll find a better projector for the money.
