> 24 hourI was looking for a compact projector to use in my wifes library for occasional use with a pull-down screen. The idea was to save space and be able to flip on the home theater system at a moments notice, and make it disappear when not in use. The projector unit is compact but powerful. I have a fancier projector in my own theater that does full 1080p & 3d, but this little 720p unit looked brighter when I tested it. Good lamp. The resolution is crystal clear 720p, meaning your dvds and standard definition media will look great, but blurays and full HD content will be displayed at slightly reduced resolution. I havent tested the wifi capabilities yet, but that seems like a neat option to play with for watching youtube or something. We bought it mostly to use with an old Nintendo Wii, which cant output full HD anyway, and suits our needs perfectly. I havent tested clarity on a larger size yet, but it looks great on my 100 setup. Best thing was the price. Oddly, the pull-down projector screen ended up being twice as expensive as the projector! I might buy another unit or 3.

> 24 hourGreat projector, very bright! So the lens burns easily if left on, always turn off when not in use to avoid that. Inside gets very dusty quick, it does have a removable dust filter, but i still have a lot of dust built up inside and its starting to effect the image and my house is super clean/nothing else is dusty like this thing... it sucks a lot of air through it. I cant find a way to open it up and clean it out yet, but not even sure if its safe to do so. Overall it was fantastic for about 2-3 months, and now its pretty ugly. Id go with one thats easier to clean next time.

> 24 hourUPDATE: Theyve replaced it the 3rd time really fast and was super easy. So far the 3rd time its working good. I mean yes its been frustrating having a burn spot but theyve been easy to get a hold of and quick to replace it. I cant say its the best projector in the world but for under 100$ its pretty good. And Im only giving it 5 stars because theyve made it right each time by sending me a new one when it wasnt working. I bought it originally in April then they replaced in June and now its happening again. The same exact thing . It leaves a burn spot in my screen but its not my screen.

> 24 hourThis is a native 1920 by 1080 (1080p) relatively low cost projector. Its got good brightness and sharpness when projecting straight-on in a moderately dark room (Two 40 watt LED shop lights on 10 and 25 feet away, out of the projection area). It came with a nice padded case, a remote, and accessory cables. Its printed instruction manual is good, although it needs spelling and grammar editing. Its the first projector Ive owned that supports WiFi connectivity. More on the negative side, the fan is pretty loud and focus quality suffers in parts of the image when keystone correction is applied. In the right circumstances the projector could serve you well, but note the negatives. My application is dynamic scenery projection in a decent sized model train room. Picture three or four projectors in a line projecting panoramic scenery as trains pass by. The projectors will be about nine feet (3 meters) off the floor, projecting onto a surface approximately 10 feet (3+ meters) away. They will be pointed downward 15 degrees, which is the typical keystone adjustment limit on projectors like this one. They will be left plugged in when not operating. Images will be sent to them via HDMI or WiFi. Projector audio will not be used. This setup gives me approximately a 48 by 80 image, just under 100 on the diagonal. With an HDMI setup I envisioned a wireless Raspberry Pi connected to the projector and to a central controlling computer. With the projectors WiFi capability the Raspberry Pis can go away; the PC can communicate directly with the projector through wireless. Image quality: Its quite good with a 100 image. With a native 1080p resolution it displays 4:3 images (e.g. 640 x 480) in a narrower format, and it scales 16:9 images, like 1280 x 720, up to the size it projects 1080ps. I did an A-B comparison of 1080p and 720p versions of the same image and found the upscaling of the 720p to be decent. Text I overlaid on the 720p image remained quite readable. The seller claims this projector can produce an image up to 250” diagonal. That’s believable in very dark conditions given the projectors brightness. In general I would still prefer to make a smaller (e.g. 100”), much brighter image when possible. The inverse square law applies here and if you take a perfectly bright image with a 100 diagonal out to a 250 diagonal (more than doubling distance projector to screen) youre going have a whole lot less light striking your retinas. Audio: I didnt test the audio. Ive been an audiophile all my life and theres no way Id play a movie using the audio system in any projector Ive ever seen, regardless of price. If you plug headphones into the audio out jack youll surely get good stereo --as good as whats coming into the projector. (Note no support for anything beyond PCM stereo. With these low cost projectors you often see complaints about no audio when playing a movie. Its because the projector cant handle more modern multi-channel audio. It stays silent.) This projector supports Bluetooth. Thats Bluetooth audio output only. Dont expect to feed Bluetooth audio (or compressed video) to this projector. I expect the Bluetooth audio out is nearly as good as the hardwired output of the projector. I didnt test it. Fan noise: Its pretty loud. You wont want to be sitting very near this projector for no/low volume applications. My experience is these lower cost 1080p projectors are louder than smaller resolution, lower lumens projectors, probably because of a need to remove more heat. The fan noise is still louder than I like. (Your mileage may vary.) You can hear it easily (but not overwhelmingly) from ten feet away. Keystone adjustment: My application needs 15 degree downward keystone correction. By my measurements, 15 degree correction is achievable, but when correction is applied text focus becomes non-uniform, e.g., if text on upper lines is readable, text on lower lines becomes somewhat fuzzy and vice versa. This goes beyond the fuzzy corners issue that arises with most low cost keystone correction. Im talking about text that is centered horizontally. You cant make that upper and lower text stay in good focus at the same time. Of course images will be affected similarly. Power: My Kill-A-Watt says the projector is using under 10mA (under a watt) when completely shut down and settles down to about 88 watts when running. If the projector has been unplugged for more than an hour or two you get an audible/visible arcing when plugging the power cord in. I understand why the manual tells you to plug the projector end in first. My guess is theres a capacitor charging in the power supply. The WiFi experience: I connected this projector to a spare wireless router thats not connected to the Web --its a good bet this projector, like so many other products, will try to phone home as soon as it gets the chance. (My home security network is not connected to the Web because I know the net cams in that system are constantly trying to phone home.) The WiFi works. I was able to connect the projector to the secured router, and then connect my laptop to the same router. I was able to screen share to the projector. With small effort Ill be able to write a Python program that sends a selected set of images to the projector, just as my setup needs. Bye bye Raspberry Pis! User experience: The buttons on the projector work well, although it would be nice in a future firmware update if the seller added a little more delay to auto-repeat. What sometimes feels like a normal click can send you multiple choices away from where you were aiming. The menu system is clear and intuitive. The projector has user control over some image size reduction (up to 25%). On the Amazon site the seller says you can reduce the image by up to 75%. Not true. You can reduce it TO 75% (in one percent decrements) without moving the projector. Additional features: The instruction manual is OK. Youll get what you need out of it. Accessories: functional remote control (includes on/off), and HDMI and A/V cables. Bottom line: Its a bright, sharp projector when used straight-on. Its got a decent image with good brightness. Its got a good user interface. It does decent upscaling of lower resolution 16:9 images. Its got a nice case. But dont count on the keystone correction to give all that can be reasonably expected. And the fan is fairly loud. This projector is borderline for my intended application, mostly owing to the keystone correction issues. There are software methods for dong keystone correction of images but thats more labor intensive. I’ve taken one star off for some fan loudness and less than desirable keystone correction. Im really happy to see the capability for connecting through wireless.

> 24 hourI got this for my nephew on his 14th birthday so he could stream and play video games in his room. The picture is really nice and he has really enjoyed being able to play video games in his room on a big screen. This is a really nice projector. He is able to stream and play video games really easily. It was easy to set up and he mounted it using a mount i bought off Amazon as well. He lives in his room (teenagers, right?!) and is always using it. I love that he loves it, so this gets 5 stars.

> 24 houryou will need a dark room if you want a large image say 110 inches. you will get better performance from an 80 inch and or a better projector screen or surface (wall painted flat white or gloss white) you cant adjust the image throw so its set distence set size, and the keystoning blurs out the edges. but Im very happy with it for 90$ far better then the last one I had and better then I was expecting. 6.5 /10 very usable

> 24 hourAlthough this projector is decently made, the video quality isnt that great. However, its a decent buy for $100. I recommend this only for watching movies in a dark room. You will easily be disappointed if you use it in a brightly lit room.
