> 3 dayThis projector does a good job. It is the first one I’ve ever tried, so I don’t have a reference or comparison. I plugged in a Roku streaming stick and was able to connect to WiFi with ease to stream movies. We projected onto a wall about 10 feet away and the picture quality is pretty good. You can adjust the focus from the remote with ease. The only down side of the remote is you cannot pull up the menu while streaming, you have to exit to access the menu. Other than that, the remote contains all other buttons needed and you don’t have to point it at the device for it to work properly. I do wish the projector had adjustable feet. I used a book to prop it up a bit. Sound quality is good and the volume goes from 0-100. I did try multiple times to Bluetooth connect to my JBL speaker without success because it could not locate the device to connect to. I’ll try this again in hopes it does work. The projector itself is a little bit on the loud side, but when you watch something it drowns out the noise a bit. I have not used the backside projector yet, but read you have to use a screen for this. There is a piece on the right-hand under side of the unit that comes out but I don’t know what it is used for. I have yet to try and cast but will try it with my iPhone and see if I can also use it with an Oculus. Overall, pretty good product and my kids love using it.

> 3 dayVery pleased with this purchase! It has a great picture , one of the better pictures from a projector I have seen! Set up was very easy, the machine itself is a tad bulky but it’s features are top of the line. The best component of the machine is it’s compatibility with various tech devices. Apple set up was easy to screen mirror and I haven’t yet had it not be able to connect to my phone. I would highly recommend this product for anyone shopping for a projector!

> 3 dayI have a small finished basement that I use the projector in and it works great..great sound, easy to connect to Wi-Fi and phone mirroring (iPhone). I use my wall as a screen and it’s perfect for me, everyone is going to have a different preference but it works great..I will be adding external speakers to get more of a movie theater sound but the sound from the projector is pretty good in my opinion, I even have to turn it down low certain times

> 3 dayAs seen on YouTube and reviews on Amazon, it appeared to be a pretty good projector, I was very excited to set this up, not to mention I already brought accessories to go with the projector, very happy to receive it and set this up, and realized I got a damaged one. WHY ME! What luck. I’m trying to get a projector for a movie night for my grandson’s birthday. I want to order another one , but I’m afraid I’ll end up in the same predicament.SMH ( I really believe that this brand projector is good, but I just didn’t get a chance to experience it because I was sent a damaged one)

> 3 dayPicture The picture this projector puts out definitely looks like a respectable 1080P image and the brightness was definitely more than some of the cheap mini projectors youll find just below this price point. That being said this is a typical projector that you should run at night or in a dark room. Overall colors looked good and I didnt feel like I was missing any detail in the image even in dark scenes. Its not going to be a 4K HDR image but if youre looking for a fun outdoor projector this one wont disappoint. Audio The speaker included on this projector is also a pretty typical 5Watt speaker. It gets loud enough to hear it but not much more than that. The good news is that it doesnt try to be a BASS speaker so the sound was very clear and I could hear dialogue well. Immersive Dolby Audio claims The ads on this Amazon page are a bit deceptive though claiming Immersive Dolby Audio. Heres the truth on that and its not all bad. To begin with the Projector itself only has 1 speaker so youre not going to get anything immersive or surround from that its just physics at that point. However, if you have a movie file on a USB drive that has an AC3 (Dolby) audio track the Projector can read that file and play the audio through the single built-in speaker (mono) and its not going to win any awards but it plays pretty clearly so its enough to enjoy a movie if you have no other option. Additionally, you can connect a speaker system via the 3.5mm headphone jack output or Bluetooth and you can get a much better sound that way from the original Dolby audio track although it will still only be stereo and not Dolby surround. Unfortunately, this projector does not have a Digital audio out option (like Optical, Coax, or HDMI ARC) so its not possible for the projector to output surround sound audio from a USB input source. That being said if you plan to use this outdoors you wont have walls to bounce sound off of with a soundbar and its a pain to setup and arrange 5.1 speakers unless this is going to be a permanent setup. If you must have surround sound though youre not out of luck. The projector has HDMI inputs so if you have a soundbar or surround receiver with HDMI IN and OUT you can connect HDMI OUT from a movie player (BluRay Player, Roku, Chromecast, Xbox, PS5, etc.) to HDMI IN to a soundbar/receiver and then HDMI OUT from the receiver to HDMI IN on the Projector. At that point though the audio processing has nothing to do with the Projectors support of Dolby and everything to do with the sound equipment connected before the Projector. One nice benefit of having Dolby support in the Projector though is if you have an HDMI device that only outputs Dolby (Old Chromecasts used to be guilty of doing this) youll actually be able to hear the audio even if its only stereo at best. Cheaper projectors you might find on Amazon sometimes don’t support Dolby over HDMI and have no audio when connected to older Chromecasts which was a shame because Chromecasts are a small and convenient device to connect to a Projector and stream with. Bluetooth Audio Setting up the Bluetooth audio with this projector was fairly easy using the included remote and the menu. However, I did notice a slight delay between that picture and the audio behind it. I was using a Polk Magnifi Max soundbar to test this feature so other devices may have better Bluetooth capabilities. I’m not a fan of Bluetooth audio myself so I quickly switched to HDMI after that test. Remote The remote control for this Projector is small and to the point which I like because there’s not too many buttons. The Menu/Input button took the longest to figure out because it’s a single press for inputs and press and hold for the menu. My initial setup of this Projector was as a rear projection where the projector is behind the screen in a room and to my surprise, I was able to control the projector without having to walk around the screen. This might be a different story if I was outside without walls to bound the IR light off of but I was impressed none the less. The remote requires two AAA batteries that are not included. Focusing Nexigo has opted to use a motor inside the Projector to control the Focus ring and as such you can’t focus the projector manually. The remote has dedicated buttons for focusing and for this reason I would recommend making sure this is one remote that never gets lost and here’s why: Your only other option for focusing the projector is to use the touch sensitive buttons on top of the projector to navigate an onscreen menu. The same onscreen menu you probable can’t see because the picture is out of focus (see the problem?). While focusing the projector there is a nice test focus image with text in the center and all four corners so you can get everything in focus easily so that’s a nice touch. Maybe it’s the old DSLR photographer in me but I just wish there was a manual focus option. Projection Distance This Projector is not a short throw as some of the marketing images on the Amazon page might have you thinking. I have an 84” screen and in a normal size living room I struggled to get it to fill the middle of the screen. According to the manual (yes this Projector actually has a nice manual included) you would have to have the projector 9 feet from the screen to reach 80” and 21.8 feet away to reach the maximum 200” screen size. So plan screen size accordingly to room size for this projector. Digital Zoom I’m only calling this out because of how the photo in the Amazon marketing portrays this feature. What this feature does is, if you’re playing a movie from a USB drive, and you want to zoom in on a part of the picture it will make that section of the image larger (like a photo crop) and gives you a tool to pan the image while the overall size of the projected image on the screen remains the same. Zoom does not increase the size of the projected image on the screen. Only moving the projector further away from the screen will enlarge the projected image. Music Playback I saw in the manual that this Projector supports FLAC audio files so I decided to test it. I put my copy of Pink Floyd’s Dark side of the Moon on a USB drive in FLAC format and it played just fine using the remote and onscreen menu for the USB. It even had a nice visualization while playing (in review photos). USB Support One thing the manual lacks is specifications on what USB formats the Projector supports. Because of the large file size of 1080P movie files I was hoping it would support either NTFS or EXFAT since FAT32 has a 4GB size limitation for a single file. I tested NTFS first and that worked so I didn’t bother testing EXFAT. I was also able to play an MKV file with H264 video and AC3 audio. Other notes This Projector was packaged well and arrived without a scratch from Amazon. It has a dust filter on the fan intake that ejects on the bottom and came with what look like long q-tips to clean it out which I think is a nice touch. You just have to be careful when picking up the Projector because it’s very easy to accidentally eject the filter while picking it up. Fan noise is noticeable but not harsh and fades into the background while watching a movie. It’s best if you can have a rear projection setup to get the fan away from you while audio comes from a speaker system that’s also away from the Projector fan. Summary (TLDR) At this price point ($150 - $200) this is a respectable projector with plenty of features to be able to play the movies, music, photos or games you want to from the devices you own. It will work best outdoors at night or in a dark room. It requires considerable distance from the screen to reach its full size so make sure you have the space required. The built-in speaker will work in a pinch but I would highly recommend connecting an external speaker system for better sound. If I could change anything about it, I would add a digital audio out (optical, coax, or HDMI ARC) and an option to manually focus the projector so I don’t have to worry as much about losing the remote. Support for a tripod mount might be nice too but it’s on the heavy side for that. Overall though a solid Projector at this price point for making family memories with a home theater.

> 3 dayI bought this projector to watch on a bigger scale the Fifa world cup 22, and it turned out to be a great decision. I use it with my Google dongle which just make the connection very simple since I plug it in one of the two HDMIs in the back. My kids are also having a blast when they play some of the PlayStations game on it. I watched today the Nitto ATP finals and I must say it is a totally different experience. The setting interface is basic which makes it very clear to start using it right away. Very happy about it.

> 3 dayHonestly for the price you can beat this. I very rarely write reviews, but weve had a pretty good experience with this thing. My husband and I dont watch a lot of TV and I wanted something to watch in the bedroom but didnt want a big bulky TV. This worked out perfect. The sound quality is pretty good. The biggest reason it didnt get 5 stars is the fan is pretty loud. I read that in the reviews that the fan is loud. I would love if it was quieter, but for the price and the picture, we can live with it. Becomes white noise. But the sound quality is good enough to hear clearly over the fan. So we are pleased. For the rather inexpensive price, very pleased.

> 3 dayI compared this projector to the Epson VS260 and the BenQ MS536. For the money, this one is perfect. Better picture quality, sound, and ease of use.
