Philips NeoPix 750 Home Projector Review

How Much Does it Cost?

There are a few NeoPix on the market right now, such as the NeoPix 230, and the NeoPix 250, which are £239 and £269 respectively, but the NeoPix 750 is the top dog of the lineup, offers the highest spec, and latest features, brightest image, etc, giving you more for your money. However, I haven’t personally gotten hands-on with the other models, so I can’t say how they compare. However, at their respective price ranges, they certainly have some appeal for more casual uses. The NeoPix may be the more expensive model at £399, but still, I think that’s pretty great value for money given the performance I’ve seen today, and it offers strong competition for the affordable premium brand projectors from the likes of BenQ, Anker, and Epson, and a handful of others, not counting the more expensive budget models from the plethora of import Chinese brands, god only knows what they’re like.

Conclusion

The Philips NeoPix 750 is a fantastic projector that offers excellent value for money. It’s easy to use, has a great set of features, and delivers a very satisfying viewing experience. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and affordable projector for home cinema, gaming, or casual viewing. While it’s not 4K, the Full HD image is surprisingly sharp and detailed (tested at 100″ screen size), and the LED light source ensures vibrant colours and a long lifespan. If you’re looking for a big-screen experience without breaking the bank, the NeoPix 750 is definitely going to impress.

Ease of Use

Setting up the NeoPix 750 is an absolute breeze. Even if you’ve never used a projector before, you’ll be up and running in minutes. The interface is clean and intuitive, and the remote control is straightforward. Adjusting the image to fit your screen or wall is also incredibly easy thanks to the excellent keystone correction and 4-corner correction, albeit this has to be done after the initial setup, which can be a pain, but once done, you can configure setups to three separate room profiles, making it easy to move when needed.

Features

The NeoPix 750 comes with built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so you can easily connect wirelessly to stream content or use external speakers. The integrated media player provides access to popular streaming apps, such as Disney, Apple TV, Plex and many more, all of which worked flawlessly throughout my testing, and the built-in speakers are not just good for projector speakers, they’re good to the point of actually being usable for day to day use.

Specifications

With a throw ratio of 1.65:1, the NeoPix 750 gives you plenty of flexibility when positioning it in your room. You can achieve a large 120-inch image from a reasonable distance of around 14ft, making it suitable for most living spaces. The 700 lumens of brightness are more than adequate for a light-controlled room during the day, and at night, it will obviously perform even better. Plus, being LED, the 30,000-hour lifespan means you’ll be enjoying this projector for years to come, easily a decade or two with daily usage.

LuminOS

The Android-based LuminOS is a solid operating system for a projector. It’s responsive, easy to navigate, and offers a decent selection of built-in streaming apps. A lot of cheaper projectors I’ve used have input latency on the remote and a laggy OS, but that’s not the case here, it’s very snappy and doesn’t feel like it’s holding you back from finding your next movie, YouTube video, or application.

Connectivity

The NeoPix 750 offers a good range of connectivity options, including HDMI, USB-A, USB-C, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. This allows you to connect a variety of devices, such as laptops, game consoles, streaming sticks, and external hard drives, you name it, it’s very versatile. However, as I’ve said, the built-in applications and app store remove a lot of the need for external devices.

Performance

In terms of performance, the NeoPix 750 delivers a bright and vibrant image with good contrast, making movies, cartoons anything else really pop with good brightness and decent black levels. The 700 lumens of brightness are sufficient for use in a dimly-lit room, and both vibrant and accurate colours, which honestly, I wasn’t expecting at this price range. The last projector I had that cost £400 a few years back only did 250 lumens brightness, this is a huge upgrade. The projector is also impressively quiet thanks to its efficient cooling system and the fact that LED lights don’t get hot, so it never really sounds louder than a typical laptop and is easily drowned out by any media you’re watching.

Should I Buy One?

Overall, the Philips NeoPix 750 is a fantastic projector that offers excellent value for money. It’s easy to use, packed with features and delivers a truly excellent viewing experience. While it’s not 4K, the Full HD image is more than enough for a good movie night. If you’re looking for a big-screen experience without breaking the bank, the NeoPix 750 is one of the strongest contenders in the projector market. I’d be shocked if you could get a brighter and more feature-rich projector from any other brand at this price or less.
