PixPaq Ray Gold Review after 5 months of usage.
Recommendation: Buy only if image sharpness is your top priority.
Pros:
Good image sharpness and brightness for the price range.
Delivers a sharp and clear picture up to approximately 150 inches. Beyond that, image quality starts to degrade.
Color reproduction is decent, especially with 720p and 1080p content.
Auto zoom adjustment works reasonably well.
Effective dust protection/sealing.
Generates very little heat despite long usage.
Built-in speaker quality is acceptable for casual viewing.
Pre-installed apps such as JioHotstar, Netflix, and YouTube function reasonably well.
Works well on a plain white wall, so a dedicated projector screen is not essential.
Produces a bright and sharp 75-inch image from around 10 feet away.
Performs satisfactorily in low-light environments, provided there is no direct light falling on the projection surface.
Cons :
Connectivity Issues:
5 GHz Wi-Fi does not work. The projector only connects reliably to 2.4 GHz networks.
Bluetooth audio has noticeable lag with external speakers, making movies and TV shows difficult to enjoy.
No HDMI 2.1/eARC support.
Software & User Experience
Built-in apps can be slow and laggy.
YouTube struggles above 1080p and becomes very laggy at higher resolutions.
Despite the 4K branding, the projector effectively performs as a 1080p projector.
No online firmware or software update system. Users must contact customer support to obtain offline updates.
Remote control contains outdated app shortcuts (for example, Disney+ instead of JioHotstar), and there is no option to customize them.
Limited image customization settings are available within the projector.
Audio Limitations:
Connecting a Fire TV Stick directly to the projector does not provide Dolby audio output through the HDMI output or 3.5 mm audio jack.
External streaming devices are almost mandatory for a better experience.
Image Quality Concerns:
After using the zoom function, large bright white borders/spots appear around the projected image, which becomes very noticeable in dark rooms.
Keystone correction is below average and requires significant manual adjustment.
It cannot create a perfectly square image as easily as some competing models such as Zebtronics projectors.
Hardware & Usability :
Fan noise is quite high, although it does keep the system cool.
HDMI quality control appears weak, with inconsistent performance during testing.
Better suited for a fixed installation than a portable or travel setup.
Customer Support :
Customer support responds slowly.
Representatives often repeat the same standard questions and show limited troubleshooting knowledge.
Resolution of technical issues can be frustrating and time-consuming.
Final Verdict
The PixPaq Ray Gold is worth considering if your primary requirement is good image sharpness and acceptable brightness at a budget price. It works well for 1080p content in a fixed home setup, especially when projecting onto a white wall.
However, Wi-Fi limitations, Bluetooth audio lag, noisy fans, poor keystone correction, weak software support, and mediocre customer service significantly reduce the overall experience. Since a Fire TV Stick or Apple TV is almost essential to get the best performance, it may be worth spending an additional ₹6,000-₹7,000 on a higher-quality projector instead.
Best for: Fixed home theater setup focused on sharp images.
Not recommended for: Travel use, wireless audio users, or anyone expecting true 4K performance and robust smart features.

Projector badiya hai magar bahut saari kamiya bhi hai jaise bluetooth 5 min m ya kuch samay mai kaam karna band kar deta hai,, bina fire tv stick ke iska os accha nahi h,, usb se 4 k videos nahi chalti hai support hi nahi karta ,, 1080 p bhi lag karti h koi koi,, agar laptop ya pc h to koi dikkat nhi h
Using this product for 6 months, the quality of projection and image production is good, colour production is also good, but still the edges are blurry when projected from the side wall. Some 4K videos stop in full resolution. Better plays in 1440 pixels. Sometimes Wi-Fi stops abruptly. No updates from the last 6 months. After-sales service is very, very, very bad.
Still MEMC TECHNOLOGY missing
Screen quality is good for the price point. projector turns of automatically, OS is bit laggy. prime video and netflix does not work at all. sound quality is fair, use external for better experiance
When iam trying to contact not getting any response
4K video start karne se thoda sa leg hota Hai mujhe do din bad pata Chala
