My TV should probably be nervous. I’ve spent years insisting I don’t need anything bigger, brighter, or more dramatic in my living room, mostly to keep myself from rearranging the layout for the sixth time. But the moment I fired up the Dangbei DBOX02 Pro and watched it casually splash a massive, laser-lit 4K image across my wall, that confidence wavered. From setup to screen size, this $999 Google TV-powered projector delivers a brighter, bigger, and far more effortless viewing experience than a TV at the same price.
Suddenly, a flat screen feels less like a staple and more like a convenience I’ve been overvaluing out of habit. If a projector can make me rethink furniture arrangements, budget priorities, and the long-term viability of my current HDMI cable drawer, it’s worth talking about.
