Is a sub-$100 projector like the HAPPRUN H1 good enough for a first home theater?

For casual, dark-room movie nights, community sentiment is broadly positive: budget-projector subreddits call it a strong, fun first buy for the money. But high-trust testers and Reddit owners alike flag limited brightness, weaker contrast, soft edges, and average color accuracy. It's a great low-risk entry point, not a substitute for a real home theater projector.
