Though both projectors have basically the same 16:9 resolution, they look different here as well. Which is to say, the Anker looks more washed out with actual content vs. Even though the AAXA has a lower contrast ratio, being able to adjust contrast and brightness let me dial in a more contrast-y image. Muted is also what I'd say about the Anker's contrast, compared to the AAXA. The AAXA has a decided flamboyance to its color, which does definitely draw the eye. Both are quite wrong, but the Anker is less in-your-face about it. The Anker is a bit more subdued in its color reproduction, so it's more muted in its wrongness. The color on both looks, shall we say, creative. In both cases a few taps with a tint control would be able to fix it, but neither have this option (it's grayed out on the AAXA). Side-by-side, it's quite apparent that the Anker has a pinkish hue, while the AAXA is greenish. That you can adjust the settings at all is a point in the AAXA's favor, since the Anker basically doesn't have any. The biggest improvement comes from turning the sharpness control way down, which decreases the video noise and edge enhancement. The first thing I should mention is that you should absolutely adjust the AAXA's picture settings.

I connected them both to a Monoprice 1x4 distribution amplifier, and viewed them side-by-side on a 1.0-gain screen.

It's also one of our favorite portable projectors.

The Anker Mars II Pro is closer in price than it first seems, as it has streaming capabilities built in, as in you don't need a streaming stick like you do with the AAXA. With its undersized price and oversized brightness, it's hard to compare the P6X to other projectors. So I don't count this as a negative as much as 'that would have been cool.'

I'm a strong believer that everything should charge via USB, but that's not always possible due to cost and other factors. It comes with a moderately bulky power brick. Unfortunately, the P6X doesn't recharge via USB. Just don't stick it to the left of the logo on top, as that gets hot when the projector is on.

A handy DIY mod could be a small strip of Velcro to keep the remote with the projector. The remote is about half the size of a credit card.

I also drive a manual transmission car, so YMMV. I actually like this analog capability over the automatic zoom found on some portables. There's no lens shift or zoom, which is to be expected. The latter isn't great, but it gets the job done. On the audio front, there's a headphone jack and a 4-watt speaker. There's even an analog video input, which is actually quite rare. The single HDMI connection is plenty - it lets you connect a streaming stick, and the USB port delivers more than enough power for it.

The AAXA is also significantly quieter in Eco mode, which is an added bonus. The 240 minutes in Eco mode, which is 66% dimmer, basically means a whole night of movies without plugging in.

The result is a claimed runtime at full brightness of 90 minutes, which is all some portable projectors can manage at significantly lower light output. That's almost entirely due to its massive 15,000-mAh battery, more than many USB battery packs. The PX6 is surprisingly heavy for its size. Just something to keep in mind if you're used to your 4K 50-inch TV. I saw relatively big, chunky pixels on larger screen sizes, but for this price and portability, it's not a big deal. In fairness, most inexpensive portable projectors are around this resolution, with only a handful at 1080p, none at 4K and some even less than the AAXA. One of the main issues with the P6X is the resolution: 1,280x800. I measured 437, which at half the rated specification is still higher than any of the other portable projectors I've measured. Most portable projectors are rated for less than half that. The LEDs inside are capable of a claimed 1,100 lumens. The P6X is impressively small, 6 inches on a side, and less than 2 inches tall.

Battery life (claimed): 90 minutes (standard mode) 240 minutes (Eco mode).

Lumens spec (claimed): 1,100 (plugged in) 1,000 battery.
