Spending 499 on a 720p projector in 2017 is crazy.
Oh that screendoor...

Here's a BenQ 1080p projector that I see listed for $499 at Ritz. It'll blow that 720p projector out of the water.

Infinitely better, those 720p pico projectors have that crappy DMD with rotated mirrors, so text looks like garbage as well. I would never recommend one. They were cool a few years back.. but these days no so much.

Here is a video overview:

Agree, lots of YouTube video 'reviews' of PJ's have to taken w/grains (or heaps) of salt. There are a few YouTuber'ers like this guy who are semi-trustworthy (although still slanted in favor of BenQ). Suggest looking at multiple sources & making up your own mind: AVSForum & Projector Central, and European sites Passion Homecinema & Cine4Home. Use Google Translate for latter two (unless you can read French & German, respectively 
).
I personally have an Optoma UHD51A & love it. It isn't perfect for a 'budget' 4K PJ (like overspill grey border & not as deep blacks), but gets most things right (Solid HDR, sharp picture, 3D). However, the soon-to-be released BenQ HT3550 looks to be even better. For 1080p, lots of choices (see here).

After finding that AAXA P2-A and looking more into the brand, there's actually a lot of articles that mention them and I noticed they have a 1080P model with 1200 lumens that just came out, retailing at $599.00. Curious to check it out since it seemed to get a decent rating on the PC Mag website, so at least that's a good clue that it should be in the running with the bigger brands such as Epson and Optoma.I have OVIO T89 300 Android Mini Projector which is quite good for me, however, you can check other as well on market.
Although like you mentioned, Pajoe, the Epsons do seem to be quite big so something on the smaller end would be best.
I'm thinking I can easily play Kodi off a Fire Stick when plugging it into a decent projector.

Hey, I have an optoma hd141x 1080p 3d projector which is ceiling mounted, I have a 4k firestick connected for kodi etc, and use a Sony Bluetooth sound bar for audio. For a screen I have a 100 inch pulldown projector screen mounted on the wall, which completely covers the living room window when down.
How do I rate it? Absolutely love it, I can use day or night (as blacks out window). I only really use at weekends for movies tho but I have watched normal tv with it. Quality is amazing really sharp and bright. It is like been in a little cinema.
Regarding cheap no name brands, give them a miss. I tried a few at £100 - £200 and the quality just isn't there, not very bright, fuzzy picture. Fan noise is always very loud.
Just get a decent one and you won't regret it.
