Editorial policy

Clear recommendations, visible limitations.

Our goal is to help readers make a decision they can explain—not to reward whichever product has the largest marketing number.

Research and testing

We distinguish hands-on use from specification-based research. The Anker Nebula Capsule 3 Laser is used hands-on by the Lazy Lighting team, including in its videos; other picks are labeled as specifications-based. Manufacturer documentation is preferred for specifications, and real-world observations are labeled with their source and context.

How we rank

We lead with the job—what you are mapping, indoors or outdoors—then weigh throw fit, standardized brightness, resolution, stability, connection options, and price. Affiliate rates do not determine ranking order.

Our own app

The team that runs Find My Projector makes Lazy Lighting. Articles that recommend it carry a disclosure at the first mention, and competing apps are linked directly so readers can compare.

AI assistance

AI may help organize research, compare structured specifications, draft translations, and identify unclear passages. The editorial team reviews the published conclusions. AI is not presented as an author or as evidence of hands-on testing.

Corrections and updates

Availability and projector specifications change. Material updates receive an accurate modified date; dates are not changed merely to appear fresh.
