> 24 hourFirst, I bought the projector for my daughter to use for her 18th birthday party in the basement and was not going to spend an outrageous amount of money straight out the gate. I was searching for days on what to buy and came across this one. Seen that it was Bluetooth compatible and checked out reviews. Apparently they have done a lot of upgrading since the last model in 2022 for image quality and a loud fan and what I read from others were good. Bought it for $57 after all discounts so I was STOKED! Got it, unpackaged it, all was packaged well and everything came as described. I set it up in our living room to see how it would work and look. The image quality is great, the screen is cheap but it was a nice touch for them to include one in the package and I appreciate a company who thinks of the users and their needs as well. I didn’t see that it was not Bluetooth compatible with your phone, only the speakers so you do have a power chord and you either have to chromecast, Hulu, fire stick or HDMI connect to watch your movie. I have all of those so it wasn’t a big deal for me at the end of the day. I connected it to my LG sound bar and when I connected, the sound to image didn’t match. It was only a few 10ths of a second off but enough to annoy me into trying to fix it for an hour. The sound quality is pretty decent without a Bluetooth speaker but for what we’re using it for, it isn’t big enough for a home theater feel. I also tried to set it on a wall shelf so that it didn’t have to be out in the middle of the room on the table but unfortunately the image does NOT zoom to fit screen. You have to move it closer or farther to fit the screen which is my biggest issue. It’s a bummer. I was really hoping to have it on a shelf above the wall and out of the way and we have to come up with a solution to have it sit on some kind of solid surface close enough to the screen to use it. All in all great purchase, it would be really great for a smaller room that doesn’t have much distance from wall to screen or a ceiling mount. Unfortunately we have ceiling tiles and don’t have a connecting plug in close enough to where we would need it without running wires everywhere. All in all great buy but I really wish I would have caught that it does not zoom to fit. I’m bummed about that and not sure what we are going to do.

> 24 hourI got myself a projector and Im really impressed with its performance. Despite not being able to use the included projection screen due to wall constraints, the projector still delivers great results by directly projecting onto the wall. Although my wall isnt ideal for mounting the provided projection screen, I believe that using the screen would enhance the overall viewing experience even further. I can see that the brightness and clarity are a significant improvement compared to my previous projector. One standout feature is its Bluetooth connectivity, which allows easy pairing with other Bluetooth speakers. This eliminates the hassle of dealing with wires and enhances the movie-watching experience. While the projector supports various playback options, I personally found the HDMI connection sufficient for all my needs. Additionally, the projector offers multiple viewing angles, whether placed on a table or mounted on the ceiling. It consistently projects images without any distortion. In conclusion, Im highly satisfied with this projector. Even without using the included projection screen, the direct projection onto the wall produces impressive results. However, I believe that utilizing the provided screen would further enhance the viewing experience. The improved brightness and clarity, along with the convenience of Bluetooth connectivity and support for different playback options, make it a versatile choice. I highly recommend this projector to anyone looking for a high-quality device to enhance their movie-watching experience.

> 24 hourThis is a nicely compact projector unit that I can’t wait to take camping. It’s small enough to fit in a small bag but big enough to give a great picture. Out of the box, it plugs in to give you an options menu to access. Focus is with a simple dial on top. We love that it comes with a screen for taking along too so that you get a clear crisp picture. Buttons are on top of unit so easy to access. Highly recommend. This is a great unit that will get a lot of use in the backyard and on many camping trips for years to come.

> 24 hourI needed a projector and wanted something that wouldnt break the bank, compact, and versatile. I love how affordable this was. It came with a screen although I didnt use it as you can see from the photos. We had a white wall and worked just fine. The set up was easy and I like how it had different ports to choose from. It had VGA, USB, HDMI, and loved that it could connect with bluetooth to speakers and the set up was great. I did have a slight issue trying to connect my external hard drive. Not sure if it wasnt formatted correctly or if it has a capacity issue but Im still trying to configure it. Once I get it working I will update the review but we hooked up a small DVD player to test the picture and sound quality. I dont know how the sound from the projector is but would recommend using an external audio source. The design is compact and very easy to navigate. As mentioned in previous reviews there isnt an option to adjust the size on the actual projector but just to adjust the focus so setting up the size is based on the placement. The projector also came with a small remote, HDMI cord and VGA cord. Love this thing so far and once I get the external hard drive to work this would be great to take for an outdoor movie night or for camping trips. Love the product so far. My daughter was so excited and she felt like it was a different experience compared to watching on the TV.

> 24 hourSo far this projector has been working well. However, its worth noting that the lumen count listed is based on non-standardized testing methods so real-world brightness may differ from the claimed specifications compared to more well-known brands like Epson so don’t expect quality and brightness from those more expensive projectors as this definltely has to be used either in the dark or when it’s not too bright outside. Overall, its a decent projector at a low price and it fits my needs @100 inches or so.

> 24 hourPacks a punch. Do yourself a favor and get some sort of projector stand and fire stick/chrome cast or/tvision. And as everyone stated have blue tooth speakers on standby. Other than that you get value for you money and crisp picture quality when you make the adjustments to the lens. The only thing I’ve noticed is some yellowing though. I thought it was on the screen but it’s actually on the projector itself,inside.

> 24 hourThe window screen effect is minimal. Tiny print is actually readable. I dont own a console game like XBox or Playstation so cant comment on that as far as game play goes. I play FPS using PC and there is no delay between the mouse/keyboard and the projected game. This is the first time I have ever been able to game on a giant screen. We need to get a bluetooth speaker next and when we do Ill update the review concerning that. I was hoping it would connect to our Google Assistant for the sound, but the projector doesnt see it. Other than that, I am thrilled with this budget projector.

> 24 hourI started my journey with this projector being FRUSTRATED. It refused to open any image files. Tried different formats, still didnt work. Had to come searching through the Q&A here to realize that you cant use a USB flashdrive over 32gbs. I found a new flashdrive, STILL WONT RECOGNIZE MY PICTURE FILES. Itll play movies and music... and still not the dang images! I just made an educated guess at this point and tried resaving my image file as a much smaller image and eureka it finally recognized a freaking jpeg! So, yeah, I can use this to sketch out my paintings, but its gonna be from a lower quality image, so get used to things being a little blurry I guess. Otherwise, for the price, it does what its supposed to I guess. Just really irritating trying to troubleshoot it to get it to do what you need it to. Oh, and Ive never gotten the bluetooth to work either!

> 24 hourHaving owned a similar projector purchased two years ago, I could not be more pleased with my new mini projector. It is bright enough to watch in daylight and the image is sharp enough to read the fine print from as far away as 15 no matter where on the screen it appears The colors are well projected and when viewed at night appear nearly as vivid my 65 flat screen TV. Because of the restrictions of my viewing area, the keystone features limit of 15 degrees is not quite enough to totally eliminate the keystone image shape on the screen. But this is so slight that frankly it is not noticeable during normal viewing. Simply, the projector is a Great Value for the Price.

> 24 hourAfter my 7-year-old projector broke 2 months back, I was in the market for a projector when I came across this. I should say I am really impressed with the image quality of the projector. The projector is comparatively very lightweight than my old projector. This also provides many input interfaces. This little device is bright enough to enjoy a movie. Upon arrival, it was decently packaged and installation was pretty easy. Though I didn’t have to read the instruction manual, they seem pretty straightforward to follow. The box came with everything. You will need AAA batteries for the remote though. The projector fan is not very loud but in fact quieter than my old one. The video quality is good, the operation speed is fast and the menus are responsive. This comes with a remote controller so technically you can install it in locations that are not easier to reach. The projector module has built-in Bluetooth, so you can say bye-bye to wired audio connections. This is working great with my Toshiba home theatre system. In case, if you do not wish to connect to external speakers, the projector has a built-in speaker as well which works just fine. Positives: - Decent Price - Great Video Quality - Multiple Input/Output Interfaces - Built-in Speakers - Comes with Remote Controller - Easy to Setup - Light Weight - Built-in Bluetooth Module Negatives: - None I could see so far Since it is still code outside so I didn’t get a chance to use it outdoors for movie night. I have installed it in my basement and it is constantly plugged into my XBOS one S. I have been using it for more than 1.5 months now and am happy with my purchase.
