> 3 dayI am very impressed with this projector! My wife gifted me a projector for backyard movie night but knows that I like to extensively research everything so the task over to me to select a unit. I had never even thought about buying one of these so I went in with no experience. I strongly considered going into the $600+ area to get a laser projector because I was very concerned about the brightness level from the sub-$250 tier of projectors. Ultimately I decided to purchase a more budget priced unit, like the PJ20, and then if I really use it a lot consider upgrading in the years to come. When I got the unit hooked up I was really blown away by the quality, especially at this price! I am truly amazed that you can get such an awesome viewing experience for relatively little money. The picture is clear and colorful with NO visible pixels at all. The brightness is GREAT in a very dark room. Although I havent tested, I think it would do ok with minimal lighting. This is not a unit made to be used in a lit room. I really like the focus being controlled with motors via the remote instead of a clunky on-unit knob that almost all projectors in this price range have. The remote is well designed and the onboard OS is very snappy and cooperative. I hooked up a bluetooth speaker with no problem. I later decided to use a 3.5mm aux cable to connect the speaker which also worked great. I purchased a ROKU which works great with this product. The USB input powers the ROKU perfectly. I have been impressed with this screen that I purchased at the same time: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VFMKJ86/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It comes with a folding stand and very nice case. My main criticism would be that I have a bit of trouble getting 100% of the screen in perfect focus (all corners & center). This is barely noticeable. I suggest that users experiment with the keystone AND focus controls at the same time to get the best picture quality. They work together. Bottom line, I am very surprised that such an amazing projector can be had in this price range. I do not see a time in my future that I will want/need to upgrade into the $600+ laser style projectors because this one is so capable.

> 3 dayGreat product. Bluetooth set up for android took less than 2min. Clear picture and great sound. I was concerned with the reviews on how loud the fan may or may not be.. turns out its not loud at all. I would recommend this product.

Greater than one weekQuite impressed with this projector. I have tried the sub-$100 category and those are just terrible. This was twice the cost, but completely adequate. Even with a bit of afternoon light, the picture brightness was surprisingly watchable on my projector screen. At night, the brightness is perfect and close to the same brightness as my main projector that is 3.5x the price. Focus in the center is good, but the top 25% and bottom 25% are less than perfect. This is not too noticeable from a distance, but text in those areas makes it very obvious. There is a little vertical keystoning and that shifts the blurred focus more in the direction you scroll. Disappointed that there are no mounting holes on the bottom, not even for a tripod mount, but there is a removable filter on the side though, so you can easily clean the dust that accumulates. That is a nice feature. Noise is noticeable and it pumps a lot of heat out the back, but this is common with any projector that is giving you a bright picture. Sound volume and quality is a positive surprise, but if you are watching a movie, then you definitely need your own speaker.

> 3 dayThis is a great Projector that you can do a lot with. The Picture & Sound Quality (Especially Bluetooth) is Excellent & makes for a very Entertaining Device. Ive got Flat Screen TVs all over my house so I use my Projector mostly outside. The Power Requirements (140 Watts) being so low you use with a small 175 Watt Inverter easily ( See Photo ). Using a Streaming Device on HDMI & Bluetooth to a Sound System we enjoyed the Super bowl & afterwards Played Music & Concerts off USB Flash Drives. My Friends were very impressed & I was so Proud of my Purchase with many of them saying they plan to buy one. Tailgating & the Beach is next so my Unit will really Enhance my Spring & Summer Fun.

> 3 dayUpdate (12/1/2022): Issue below turned out to be a short-term hiccup. Its back to its normal operation, which is to say good, if not bright, picture, and very loud fan. Again, for the money, its reasonable, as long as you know what youre getting. Update (11/16/2022): Turned it on today to find some pretty obvious vertical lines running across the entire screen. No idea why, and Ive let it run for a bit to see if maybe this was a product of the room getting colder, but lines are still there. Unfortunately, its outside the return window, so I guess Ill have to live with it until Im ready to replace with something better. As I noted originally, its cheap, so I knew going in that I was taking a chance. Given what I know now, I would not purchase again. If you want a projector for something where noise and reliability arent a big deal, I guess this might suit your needs, but I think most folks should consider saving up longer and buying something with better quality. Original review: Its a $200-ish projector. As long as your expectations are in keeping with that price, you probably wont be disappointed. I was able to get a pretty good picture with my pull-up projector screen, and gaming, even FPS, is responsive enough to not ruin the game. Speaker is not loud enough to be sufficient, particularly with the fan noise, so plan on some sort of external speaker or headphones. Biggest downside of this projector for me is that it uses a hinged fresnel lens to handle keystone adjustment, and the more adjustment you use, the more difficult it becomes to keep the entire screen in focus (at more extreme keystone adjustments, the top or bottom of the screen tends to go out of focus). In the end, I settled for leaving some slight keystoning in the image, in favor of better focus. Again, given the price, I dont really expect better, but if you want a perfect picture, youre going to need to look at something in a higher price range. Pros: - Nice picture (again, for the price) - Bright enough for my needs (dark room / basement) - Cheap Cons: - Difficult to focus, and nearly impossible to get all areas of the screen focused, particularly if youre using the keystone adjustment - LOUD! - Gets washed out quickly by just about any ambient light - Remote is very basic, and on-screen menus are usable, but not great

18-11-2024I watched a YouTube video “Best Projector under $200” , by The Hook Up channel. I had bought his recommendation on the best $100 projectors and was very happy with what a 720P could do and just had to take the next step. This however was doomed from the start as Amazon had sold out and did not no if or when they would get more. I held fast though, because of the recommendation and in about 3 weeks, it showed available. Bought it right away and could not wait for this 1080P to come in. Come in it did, boxed nicely but not sealed or taped. The plastic bag on the projector was not sealed and the remote, along with the cords were just in the box. 1st red light. I thought , was this used and returned? Plugged it in and the picture was upside down. That was the 2nd red flag. 3rd red flag was the keystone knob turned approx 5-10% and the horrible keystone effect never changed 1 bit. It was useless. The keystone was so bad, no matter how I positioned the projector stand, there was no way to focus properly, it was impossible to watch. 0 stars for the unit although it did seem very bright compared to my 720. 5 stars for return on Amazon. It was my first return and Nichole was very helpful, just had to get a QR code emailed to me and off to Whole Foods, they scanned the code and I was off, hopefully getting a refund in 3-5 business days. Just fyi, as soon as I ordered this one, the listing said not available, not sure if or when they would get more. Watch out for this seller. I would like to know if anyone else had similar problems.

Greater than one weekSe instaló en un salón de conferencias, pero no tiene buena luminosidad, se ve borroso en los extremos, esta a 14 pies de la pared proyectando una imagen de 100, según las referencias puede estar más lejos y llegar a proyectar 200, tiene buen sonido, fácil de conectar desde la laptop sin cables. Sin embargo, no cumple con lo requerido con respecto a la imagen proyectada y si es texto se ve más oscuro y borroso.

Greater than one weekUsing the Nexigo PJ20 has been easy and fun for a quick entertaining movie night. The PJ20 has multiple connectivity options so you can decide the best way to project your video. Using a Roku streaming stick it is very helpful to have the HDMI and USB next to each other on the back so having to run multiple plugs for power was not necessary. We started watching shows outside at dusk and the projector was still bright enough to be seen, as it got darker outside the clarity of the picture really came to focus. I have a 100inch screen and at that size, the picture still looked sharp for a 1080 projector. The fan is quiet and the speakers put out a clear sound. Having a solid speaker built in is nice because I dont have to bring another sound device outside. But it is still nice to have the option to use the headphone out connection if needed. I only had one issue where there is a shadow in the center middle of the screen when the size was larger than 100 inch screen, unfortunate but I had not noticed it until breaking down the screen at the end of the movie when I was up close. This projector has been great fun for the family and makes for a fun outdoor activity.

> 3 dayThe picture quality looks washed out, the brightness is low, the remote requires careful positioning to work. It arrived with one of the bumpers broken off. The USB slots dont work with any of my modern thumb drives. All these things I think are fine, its a great value for a $200 projector The easy connectivity to your phone is wonderful and it’s fast and responsive to use, a nice cozy experience. But theres something wrong with the fan, its gratingly obnoxiously loud. 64.6 decibels. It could have been dropped in transit or a defect in manufacturing but Im returning it. Update- The company replaced my product and the new one is 10 decibels quieter. It’s a big improvement I appreciate. Now I’m quite happy with this. This new box was missing the instructions but fortunately I remembered from the previous one.
