> 24 hourIve worked with a few different projectors in the past, and I have to say, at this price point, this one takes the cake! Lets start with some of the major pros: 1) Setup was super easy! Literally just plugged it in and the picture adjustments went by quickly 2) The picture was crisp and worked well with all the lights on 3) The wireless connectivity was an amazing feature to have! Ive struggled to get setup with others before (if they even have the feature). At this price point, it was a really great addition Cons: 1) The power cord could be a little longer, but easily fixable with an extension 2) Very slight lag when connecting wirelessly, but this is to be expected. Not a problem at all when watching videos, but can be for games. Overall, I definitely recommend to anyone looking for a projector!

> 24 hourLoved it but I had a problem with the remote control. Would not turn the projector on and I had to send it back. I was sick about that. but I did get another one and it is very good too. But the price is right on this one of the best projectors out there. But I’m not saying that if you get one of these projectors that you would have this problem. It’s a beautiful projector and priced just right. I would take a chance on this one but I don’t think that they sell this one anymore. They were priced so good that they sold out. Amazon has a lot of choices as well. All of the prices are good just pick your self out one. Because the good thing about amazon is if you don’t like them you can send it back with out any questions ask. Amazon the best.

> 24 hourI purchased this for our basement entertainment center. Overall, Im very happy with it. Pros: - The picture quality is nice. I just have it displaying on the white wall and it looks great, even with the wall texture and switch plates. - The picture displays well with the lights on. Overhead lights obviously dulls the picture, but it does not become completely washed out like I remember the projectors in school doing. - Built-in speaker is a nice feature, I plan to hook up a sound system, but the built in speaker makes it instantly usable for watching TV or playing video games. - Bluetooth connectivity is great and unexpected. I can use my bluetooth headphones to listen to the playback. I didnt know that feature was included and was pleasantly surprised. - Lots of options for media input and playback. The projector supports MP4 playback directly off of a thumbdrive, has a AV input adaptor included, 2 HDMI ports, and screen mirroring and casting. - Wifi connection was easy and seamless. Cons: - HDMI connections are too tight. I struggled to get an HDMI cable plugged in. I had to use a screwdriver to push up the locking pins on the ports to be able to get the cable to go in. After I did that the connections worked fine. - cooling fan is a bit noisy. Its noticeable while using the built-in speaker for sound playback. I image that it should drown out with an appropriate sound system connected, but it will always be noticeable during quite parts of a show. - Focusing when using the keystone feature is not perfect. If the projector is not displaying straight on the entire view will not be perfectly in focus. I used the keystone feature to square the screen and the bottom corners of the image went out of focus a bit. This is probably an unavoidable issue with all projectors, simply because of the way a lens is focused. So Its not something Im too worried about. Overall Im really happy with the projector. It does a really nice job and comes at a reasonable price. Im hopeful it will remain functioning for many years. Time will tell.

> 24 hourHome theater is a lot of fun, but I also need a projector to take to meetings, to give PowerPoint presentations and to show short instructional videos. Up to now I have been using my “old workhorse”, the 4000-Lumen Epson VS400, and in this review I will include some comparisons between old and new projectors. Unpacking was simple and the manual has easy-to-read large type. I was up and running immediately. The PJ20 is a large projector. But it is also relatively lightweight. In my case I will be driving to meetings, not flying, so I am happy with the size, which actually might deter someone from stealing it. I measured the weight at about 1.5 pounds, compared to 6.5 pounds for my old VS400. I prefer a built-in lens cover because I won’t lose it, but this is a minor inconvenience. The keystone knob at the rear is large and easy to use. Other controls and ports on the top and back panels are clearly marked. The remote control so easy to use that I would recommend to avoid using the on-device buttons. I was impressed with the clarity of the PJ20 images that I projected on a painted wall in a room with strong ambient light. The very large projection lens certainly helps. PowerPoint presentations look impressive. Videos play smoothly. Four picture samples are included in this report showing a TV image, a nature scene and two PowerPoint slides. I felt that my older projector had comparable brightness, but I think that was a side effect of the VS400’s lower contrast and long-throw lens. The important point is that the PJ20 holds its own impressively while drawing half as much wattage and its native 1080p resolution is state of the art. The PJ20’s lamp is supposedly rated for 50,000 hours and should last for 5-10 years, compared to spending more than $100 every 2500 hours to replace the VS400 lamp. Keep in mind that I deliberately kept the lights bright in the test room, and the PJ20 images were perfectly acceptable when viewed 30 feet from the wall. There is a movable foot in the front to adjust the tilt. I found it to be too short when projecting 12 feet from a wall with the PJ20 sitting on a standard 29” hotel seminar table. Also, there is no rear foot adjustment to account for an unlevel table. I would need to make some shims to take with me. I haven’t previously used the Windows Cast or Miracast features, and I was extremely pleased to find they were easy to set up. I have a 3-screen desktop in my office, and the shared projector quickly came online as a fourth screen for my PC. Wireless connectivity makes meeting setups really simple and it’s a a great convenience to not depend on a cord between PC and projector. In order to make the connection, you may need to expand your PC’s Windows Action Center options list – in my case, the Connect button was hidden. The audio connected automatically along with the Windows Cast. The speakers have a bit of bass, but they do sound like they are in a little plastic box, which of course is exactly where they are. For home theater and professional presentations, I will use external speakers. The fan noise was noticeable but not distracting. When I joined the PJ20 to my Wi-Fi network, it immediately prompted to do a firmware update over the Internet. This was initially confusing and underscores the need to read the manual first, as this was not a system firmware update. Following this over-the-air update, my Wi-Fi settings had to be re-entered. The full system firmware update requires downloading files to a USB drive, which is then inserted into the projector. My first attempt failed because the support page was password protected. However, my correspondence convinced the company to remove the block and other buyers will download updates easily. In Summary, Pros: Lightweight, bright sharp display, great color saturation, lots of connectivity options, nice remote control, equally good for home and small business use, removable/cleanable fan dust filter, reasonably low power demand. Cons: On-device controls are not as easy as the remote, lens cover will be easy to lose. At $249, the Nexigo is more than competitive for home and basic business use and it features state-of-the-art as well as legacy connectivity. Within its design parameters, price point, and Amazon’s ranking scale, I will give it a “5”.

> 24 hourThe connection with my devices was very easy - I tried connecting my Android phone as well as my Surface Pro 4 with and without my cable and it was stupidly easy. The projector was very easy to install and with my blinds partially shut the brightness was very good and the audio also worked well. The packaging is compact and easy to carry (compared to the older projector that I had). The visual quality is what to be expected from a projector, and there is noise but its minimal. It says in the description, but just to emphasise batteries have to be bought for the remote. Im excited to use it to watch movies!

> 24 hourThe operating system feels outdated. The projector blows out lots of heat, not ideal for sitting next to my bed. Dont buy this unless you can line your projector up perfectly square. While it does have vertical keystoning, it completely ruins the focus. You have to have no (or minimal) keystone, and have it be perfectly parallel with the projected surface to keep it focused everywhere at once. The remote makes it easy to adjust focus on the fly. Bluetooth to my speaker worked well - good thing, becaude the audio jack seemed completely loose and didnt work at all. Picture is pretty small at a distance of 5-8 feet, so make sure you have a very large throw distance available. Brightness was acceptable, watchable in low light environments. Not so much in daylight. Would not recommend using it outdoors, its not that bright.

> 24 hourPlenty bright. First two pics are from sunlight coming into our basement. Next ones include the lights turned on. Our boys actually prefered playing games with the lights on since they have too much energy to sit while playing. Focus We had major issues at first. Center would be 95% clear then terrible focus away from there. My initial run had the projector on a stool which came out perfect. Turns out the angle was too much on the ceiling. As soon as I changed the keystone out of alignment the picture came out perfect. Notice in the pics the top is smaller than the bottom. I may get a different mount to lower it 2-3 inches. For size reference, the distance is ~9ft and is projecting on an 84in screen. The climbing wall behind it is using 4x8ft plywood. Sounds is good. May eventually add a soundbar or something, but no complaints so far
