> 24 hourBought this projector to stream movies/tv for a hotel room stay. Set up is super easy, instructions are super easy. The device on its own has a small speaker but there are extra ports to add a speaker. I used my iPhone and used the adapter to hook up to projector and worked like a charm. I love love loveeee the carry case and tripod. The padded case keeps the projector, remote, extra cords and tripod all neat and tidy. I looked at other projectors that had wifi capabilities but it they didnt come with all the extras like this one! For the price and all the accessories it was a great buy!

> 24 hourOk, for those of you that have doubts, set them aside and read on. Im a tiny home dweller, so space is at a premium for me. As a bit of history, I had originally wired the whole place with 12v low voltage lights and accessories, including a 12v RV ceiling fan. After years of service, the fan gave up so I had this big clunky dead weight in the middle of my bedroom ceiling. I was getting tired of watching my entertainment on my tablet or laptop and began kicking around the thought of one of the many mini projectors running around out there, so in the course of my search I found this as a recommended product. At the time it was on sale for around $65 dollars so I figured it was worth a shot and boy, was I NOT disappointed. Now I had a couple of technical hurdles to overcome. First was power as this unit does not include any built in battery. So I got to work. First up was to chuck the old 12v ceiling fan and with a one foot piece of 1/4-20 all-thread rod, I repurposed the ceiling fan mount as my new ceiling mount for the projector. The next hurdle was power, but again a little bit of creative shopping netted me a universal car laptop power adapter that could take the 12v ceiling fan power lead and step it up to 21v/48w. So I simply spliced the laptop power adapter to the existing wiring and then clean everything up and tuck the wiring away cleanly to produce a factory looking mount and power setup. Im projecting onto a blank wall about 8ft away from the projector. The picture shows a scene from Black Widow. The High Points: Price, for the money, this thing is a rockstar. The picture quality is great for the pricepoint and the brightness is also very good, if not stellar. The projector light source is LED and not a high output Halogen/Xenon bulb, so its durable and will give WAY more life than any sort of incandescent style bulb. It has all the normal interfaces, 3.5 audio, USB 2.0 slot, HDMI port and A/V interface port. The remote is a teeny tiny thing (maybe 1 x 3), and easily misplaced because Im old and forgetful, but it does everything you want and nothing you dont. Plus it uses a single AAA battery so no hunting for special coin batteries. The Average Points: The sound isnt very loud, Im guessing 3w or so, but because Im directly under it so for most movies and shows it isnt an issue with me despite my military connected hearing loss. The keystone adjustment is obviously most flexible if its not mounted upside down like mine is, but Im guessing its about 2-3° on each edge which is barely noticeable to me. I play everything off of a 128gb USB stick and its been fine, but I did notice with some MKV files that it cant process the sound, so MP4 and AVI files seem to be more consistent and give me fewer issues. This isnt the projectors fault, but more from the people making the MKVs not having more standardized sound codecs. The Bad Points: There really arent any, and if something is annoying me, I remember how much it cost and suddenly its not a big issue anymore. LOL Anyhow, if youre on the fence while looking for a inexpensive projector, this thing is a great buy for the money and will serve you well. Hope this helps and have fun!

> 24 hourThis projector is small but mighty. We used it in our backyard with a screen we also bought on Amazon and it was perfect. I love that it comes with its own compact carrying case - perfect for storage and travel. The only downside is the HDMI port has some plastic around it that prohibited our Fire Stick from connecting smoothly. We just had to add an additional adaptor, which wasnt too big of a deal.

> 24 hourI purchased this projector expecting a basic unit only considering the price, but was pleasantly surprised when it came and I plugged it in. Picture: For a starter projector, it looks very good. My particular use is that I am using it to project onto my ceiling, which is a basic textured plaster affair (i.e., not a solid white surface or screen). It is also used only when the lights are off and the door is closed (i.e., a dark room). The picture fills much of the ceiling, and looks fairly sharp and focused. There is a small amount of focusing adjustment and keystoning on this unit, but the angle that I had to put the unit at to project on the ceiling, it does stretch out the picture a bit. Most of the time it is projecting space/star scenes, so if things are a little stretched, its no big deal for me. Your mileage may vary depending on your projection needs. Sound: I honestly was not expecting any sound, but this unit does have a decent speaker in it. Now, its nowhere near theater quality (nor do I expect it to be), but it pumps out acceptable sound without clipping or noise. For a unit this small, the speaker is very good. Inputs: I like that this unit has both a USB and an HDMI port (as well as standard A/V ports). Mostly I just use a Chromecast in the HDMI port, but also plan to use a USB stick with some of the more favorite videos on it. Size: The unit is small and unobtrusive. Very portable. Also nice to have a carry case and stand included. I have been very happy with this unit so far.

> 24 hourThis is my first projector. I have always liked the idea of having one, but could not justify spending hundreds of dollars on one that I would only use every once in a while. I have a nice 65 inch 1080p smart tv which I use at home primarily. I love watching movies on a big screen. Picture: This projector claims to be 720p native. Without comparing side to side with another similar 480p I am not sure I would know the difference. Like I said, this is my first projector. Right now I am using it in a barracks room in South Korea. I ordered a screen, but it has not arrived yet so I am using it on a white wall. As you can see in the picture the wall is not bare. I have an electric panel, thermostat and a big horizontal piece of trim in my way. However I have a pretty nice 120 inch picture with the projector at about 11.5 feet away. I am sure it will look even better when my screen arrives. So for picture I would imagine it would be hard to compete with this projector unless you spend a good bit more money. My only complaints with the picture are some white flickering pixels in the black areas of a scene, but they are not really noticeable if you are focusing on what you are watching. I did have a bit of trouble trying to focus the picture at a smaller size. I couldnt seem to get it focused at about a 40 inch wide picture, but at the larger size I had no trouble. I wanted it big anyway. The keystone adjustment is pretty limited so keep that in mind when choosing a spot to set it up. You will need to try to place it as close to square and centered as you can. It only adjusts a few degrees up and down and I dont think it has any side to side adjustment. Brightness: Brightness is good, but have realistic expectations. If you are using it to display your computer screen, you can do that with lights on without any problems, but if you are watching a show or movie you are gonna need to get the room pretty dark. A darker movie scene will disappear as you turn on the lights. But that is perfect for me, I like to watch movies in the dark anyway. Sound: It has a speaker that works. I have it in a room that is about 12 x 14 feet or so and I have a moderately loud air conditioner. The speaker is plenty loud for that. If you are going for high quality sound or need a really large room to hear then you will want to probably hook up something external. My biggest complaint for sound is the fact that I cannot use a bluetooth speaker or headphones once when I use an HDMI input, but I think that is normal for anything HDMI. I am sure there is a work around but it might require extra equipment. The noise from the machine itself is noticeable only if you are sitting within a few feet of it and there is no sound playing. I would not recommend sitting next to it while using it as a computer monitor because that would probably get annoying but otherwise it is quiet enough for me. Connectivity: I have only used the HDMI input. It works fine with my HDMI adapter and my iPhone and iPad. I watch netflix through those devices just fine. I have also used it for my laptop. It works fine with my laptop HDMI port. Remote: The remote is pretty basic but seems to work fine. I have only used it by pointing it at the front of the machine, so I am not sure If you can use it from either side yet. It takes 2 AAA batteries and they dont come with it so have those ready. You can however, use the machine without the remote as long as you put in in reach. Size: The title of this projector calls it mini, but it is really not that much smaller than any other projectors I have seen. It is a little smaller front to back then the ones I am used to at work, but otherwise it is about the same size. Miscellaneous: It comes in a cardboard box with a plastic handle it has no case, so for now I plan on using the box and included packing material to store and transport it. If traveling a lot, I would recommend getting a case of some kind. The projector comes with a power cord that is really short so be ready for that. It also comes with an HDMI cable and an adapter for the red/white/yellow av input. Overall I think it is a great little projector for the price. As long as it lasts me a few years I will be quite happy with it.

> 24 hourI purchased this product to watch movies while out camping out in my truck and Im really pleased with the results. Didnt know what to expect but the reviews seemed rather good about it so I bit the bullet and purchased it. First hooked it up where I work at and the brightness of it even with lots of lights was really good plus the replay quality of youtube videos was amazing. Definately recommend this to anyone looking for a small projector for whatever reason you need.

> 24 hourI recently purchased a this mini projector, and I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by the image quality it delivered. As a movie enthusiast, I was looking for an affordable solution to bring the theater experience out to camp, and this little gadget exceeded my expectations. First and foremost, the image clarity of this mini projector is great considering this is a budget projector. Despite its compact size, it projects a sharp and vibrant image. The built-in speaker is as expected so I would recommend using external speakers which I think most would be doing anyways. The mini projectors portability is another major advantage. It is lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry around and set up in different locations. Overall, I am extremely satisfied. If youre in the market for an affordable projector that delivers surprisingly good image quality, I highly recommend giving this one a try.

> 24 hourI often lecture to large groups with top-of-the-line AV equipment. So, I know a quality projector when I see one. This small compact projector has all of the features that I have come to expect from a professional projection system, such as multiple and diverse inputs, remote projector controls, and a robust operating system to fine-tune color, focus, and brightness. This is great for medium-sized room presentations and small boardroom meetings. Its small footprint makes it easy to transport, set up, and operate in a tight space. With a carrying case, optional tripod stand, RCA connectors, and power cable, its a bargain at twice the price (shhhhhhh! on the price thing ... and get it while the getting is good!). If youre a small business person who needs to make presentations and sales pitches connect it to your computer, tablet, or smartphone without juggling bulky equipment. You cant have mine, so get one for yourself before your competition beats you to the punch.

> 24 hourUsed a coupon and got this item for $50+ and honestly at $70 its a great deal. I bought this to use as a TV for my kids on an upcoming trip where the AirBnB does not have a TV in the kids bedroom. This thing is surprisingly good. The picture is clear, and bright. I wouldnt want to use it in the day but at night when the lights are dim/out this will make a massive picture with vivid colors. For the price you cant beat it. I hooked an Apple TV, a Google TV, Nvidia Shield and more up to it to test and it played them all no problem. Now the sound is a different story, the speaker is small and flat BUT it will do the job if you are just watching TV. You can hook an external speaker up via stereo jack.

> 24 hourI got this gift as a gift for my husband and children’s father for Father’s Day. The day it arrived we couldn’t wait 3 weeks to give it to him so we decided to give it to him early! I got it on sale for less then $100 and it was definitely worth it. The picture quality is great, hook up seemed easy( as my husband did it since it’s his) it is small enough to move around. You will not be let down with this projector!
