Wownect T10 (PROJ-WO-55-W) 1080P Android Projector Review: A 200-Inch Home Theater Experience?
Introduction
The Wownect T10 (PROJ-WO-55-W) Android projector promises a big-screen experience at a relatively affordable price point. Boasting 1080p native resolution and a claimed 200-inch screen size, this projector aims to disrupt the home entertainment market. I’ve spent several weeks testing it out, putting it through its paces with movies, games, and various streaming apps to see if it lives up to the hype.
Key Features
The Wownect T10 packs a surprising number of features for its price. Key highlights include the native 1920x1080P resolution, Android TV OS with pre-installed apps like YouTube and Netflix, and a variety of connectivity options including Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, HDMI, USB, and AV. The ability to project images up to 200 inches is certainly a standout feature, ideal for larger rooms or outdoor viewing.

Performance and Image Quality
While the 1080p resolution is impressive, the 200 ANSI lumens brightness is a bit of a constraint. In a completely dark room, the picture quality is excellent, delivering crisp details and vibrant colours. However, in rooms with ambient light, the image gets noticeably dimmer, and the blacks aren’t as deep as I’d hoped. The built-in speakers are adequate for casual viewing, but for a truly immersive experience, an external sound system is recommended. The Android TV OS works smoothly, and navigating the interface is intuitive. The manual focus and keystone correction are helpful for adjusting the image to the ideal position.
Gaming performance was satisfactory for casual games. More demanding titles showed some slight lag, but it was not overly distracting. The input lag was noticeable, however, and might not be suitable for competitive gaming. I tested streaming services including Netflix, Hulu and YouTube, all of which performed flawlessly. Movies looked fantastic, provided the room lighting was minimal.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Native 1080p resolution, Large screen size (up to 200 inches), Android TV OS, Multiple connectivity options, Relatively affordable.
- Cons: Brightness could be better in brighter rooms, Built-in speakers are adequate but not exceptional, Noticeable input lag for some applications.
Final Verdict
The Wownect T10 (PROJ-WO-55-W) offers a compelling package for those looking for a large-screen projector without breaking the bank. The 1080p resolution and Android TV functionality are significant advantages. However, the brightness limitations should be considered, especially if you plan to use it in a room with ambient light. Overall, I would recommend this projector for those seeking an affordable home theatre or gaming solution for rooms where light control is readily available, however for a truly premium experience, a brighter projector is recommended.
