Quick Verdict
Buy the NexiGo PJ40 (Gen 3) if the job is a dark bedroom ceiling, not a backyard toy. Named pick: 700 ANSI + native 1080p + 20W speakers, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, D65 calibrated. Live street we proved: $284.99 (typical $299.99). In Stock, 20 left. Add to Cart + Buy Now. NexiGo USA / FBA. Confirmed Gen 3 — not the 300 ANSI $79.99 option, not a $1k living-room projector.
$284.99 is under $300.
Skip toy brightness. A $70 “1080p supported” cube washes out on a white ceiling. Skip a $1k living-room UST too — that is a different room.
Typical card is 1 year (confirm on the listing). $284.99 over 4 years ≈ $71/year.
This is not a restamp of the generic under-$300 mini-projector roundup.

Not on this page as a buy: XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro Renewed (B0FJ5WXQNM) — currently unavailable, no buy box, no ATC. Did not hunt a new or non-renewed replacement.
What we skipped
A $1k UST. A SEARCH leftover. Restamping the five-projector 2026 roundup. Stamping the $79.99 300-ANSI option as PJ40 Gen 3. Inventing a live MoGo.
FAQ
Is PJ40 under $300? Yes. Live $284.99.
Will it work with the lights on? No. 700 ANSI is a dark bedroom. Daytime is a TV.
Why not the $70 TMY? It is live. Toy-brightness class. The bedroom pick stays PJ40 Gen 3.

We can tell you whether NexiGo PJ40 Gen 3 is worth its asking price. We can't tell you when that price drops — the free iPhone app can, and it scans a barcode in the shop to check you are holding the same model.
