Frequently Asked Questions

Which projector is better for Netflix — the TMY 4K or PUTRIMS K12?

I’d give the edge to the TMY 4K for pure Netflix simplicity. It has Netflix, Prime Video, and YouTube pre-installed right on the device — you turn it on, connect to WiFi, and you’re watching in minutes. The PUTRIMS K12 needs the bundled Google TV stick to access Netflix, which adds one extra step and one more remote to manage. For someone who just wants to click and watch, the TMY is smoother.

Is the PUTRIMS K12 worth more than the TMY 4K?

That depends on what you value. The PUTRIMS K12 costs more but gives you auto focus, auto keystone, WiFi 6, and a Google TV interface with voice control — features the TMY doesn’t have. But the TMY is almost twice as bright at 1500 ANSI lumens versus 700, so if daytime viewing matters to you, the TMY actually delivers more value for less money. I’d say the PUTRIMS is worth it if you want convenience features, not if you want brightness.

Which projector has better picture quality — TMY 4K or PUTRIMS K12?

Both projectors share the same native 1080P resolution, so sharpness is similar on paper. The TMY pulls ahead in brightness with 1500 ANSI lumens, which means colors look more vivid and punchy in rooms with any ambient light. The PUTRIMS K12 counters with a 20000:1 contrast ratio, so its blacks are deeper in a fully dark room. For overall picture quality in real-world conditions, I prefer the TMY because brightness affects every scene, while contrast only matters in the dark.

Can I use the TMY 4K projector outdoors for camping?

Absolutely — I’d actually recommend the TMY for camping over the PUTRIMS. It’s compact, portable, and with 1500 ANSI lumens it can throw a clear image even in twilight conditions at a campsite. The built-in Bluetooth also lets you pair a portable speaker for better outdoor sound. Just make sure you have a power source, since neither projector runs on battery.

Which projector is easier to set up — TMY 4K or PUTRIMS K12?

The PUTRIMS K12 wins this category hands down. It has auto focus and auto keystone correction, so you just place it down and it sharpens and squares the image automatically in seconds. The TMY requires manual focus and manual keystone adjustment, which takes a bit more fiddling. If you’re setting up in a new spot every night, the PUTRIMS is noticeably faster and less frustrating.

Do both projectors support 4K content?

Both projectors support 4K input, meaning they can accept a 4K signal from a streaming device or console, but they display it at their native 1080P resolution. Neither is a true 4K projector. The TMY markets this as “4K Support” and the PUTRIMS does the same — it’s a useful feature for future-proofing, but you’re watching in crisp 1080P, not true 4K.
