![]() ![]() they declare the value in lux, which makes the absolute number go up and compare better to other projectors that use lumens or ANSI lumens.They do two things which are not correct (not to say misleading): Now, GooDee does something that’s not entirely correct when declaring the brightness value of its projector. The GooDee YG620 is marketed as a projector for both indoors and outdoors and the manufacturer advertises its high brightness of 6,800 lux. It is loud enough that I can hear it if I stay even more than three metres away from the projector. It is constant and consistent in its volume: from when you turn the projector on to when you power it off, the volume doesn’t change much whatever you do in the middle. Contrary to my expectations, on the GooDee YG620 the fan is quite noisy. Modern projectors of standard size tend to be relatively quiet, with an operating noise that’s low enough you don’t have to shoot the volume up too much to hear the audio. This is a design flaw in the cap, which could have easily been avoided with a bit of smartness. Unless you are projecting from a very long distance, you will need to move the lever close to the middle region (or even further) and this will prevent the cap from fitting, so you will be forced to move the lever to the starting position. The lens cap is designed so that you can’t cover the lens and leave the focus in the position you wanted at the same time. There are also four holes that allow you to position the projector on the ceiling. Two feet would probably have assured better stability. The foot works quite well, but it makes the projector slightly unbalanced as it is on the left side: the projector doesn’t tip, but moves a scary lot if you push it. ![]() On the lower side you can find a foot to raise the projected image the angle is obviously limited, but enough to have some degree of freedom. Below them are the power button, the power cord connector and the keystone correction knob – which only allows for vertical correction, you you need to have your projector perfectly parallel to the projecting surface. The back side is home to a host of connectors, including one VGA (which is always useful with older devices…), two HDMI, one USB, one powered USB to charge devices (in case you want to charge your phone with a projector for some reason), one jack that’s to be used with the RCA adapter, one real jack for audio output and a microSD card. The top of the projector hosts the focus lever and a touchscreen panel with buttons to move through the menus, but you can’t select sources with them and you’ll need the remote. The looks don’t tell the full story, though, as the plastic appears to be actually quite resistant – I can’t vouch for its resistance to an atomic bomb, but it should be able to resist moving around quite well. While the YG620 lacks the elegance and researched looks of the costlier models, its utilitarian design doesn’t look out of place anywhere. The projector is made with silver and black plastic parts that don’t exactly scream “premium”, and honestly appear to be a bit cheap, but at the same time the overall assembly looks decently robust. ![]() The looks of the GooDee YG620 are quite unassuming, with a design that I would describe as simple and to the point. The projector was held into a nest of inflated plastic that appears to be quite resistant, so I am satisfied with how the package is made. The remote came without a battery, so I had to provide my own in order to make it work. The package holds the projector itself inside an air-filled plastic bag, a remote, a mains cable (with a UK plug in my case), an HDMI cable, an RCA cable and a manual. The GooDee YG620 comes in a rather standard cardboard box without any pretence of looking or feeling high-end – it’s an affordable device that concentrates on delivering a low price with good quality instead of concentrating on appearance. ![]()
