JIMTAB M18 Native 1080P LED Video Projector, Upgraded HD Projector with 300”Display Support AV,VGA,USB,HDMI, Compatible with Xbox,Laptop,iPhone and Android for Academic Display (Dark Star)

I debated back and forth on budget projectors. Many of the comments/questions had answers that took both sides of the things I was asking. So .... here is my side - Fan Noise: Using outside, I didnt even know the projector was running it was so quiet - Brightness: Excellent. Even with some ambient lighting it still had a quality picture. Once dusk hit. WOW - Throw: A bit closer of a throw that I wanted, but that does also mean it will cast a large picture from further back - Sound: Its there, its ok, youll want speakers. Good in a pinch in a quiet room. I didnt buy it for the sound - Versatility: Has all the plugs and connectors - Remote Control from Front/Back: Yep - Customer Service: SPOT ON and PROMPT Cons (more nitpiks): - having to adjust the lens for the cap is a pain, but it is what it is

This projector is amazing. I got it as a gift for Christmas. It looks super big and bright on my gray wall and the sound quality is good too. You cant see it that well when the lights are on but thats a given. You can also adjust the quality. I use Apple Tv for mine but Im sure you can connect it to a phone or Laptop.

The picture shows up clear and the sound is acutely loud.

Very good quality projector especially for the money. The reason its not 5 star to me is there is no automatic screen fitting feature. What this means is that the only way to get the projector to look to fit a certain size and be a perfect rectangle without the screen being distorted is it physically has to sit in the right location which is not always an option for everyone due to room size pr furniture arrangements. Also there is no horizontal keystone shifting only vertical. Other then these criticisms its a high quality bright projector. Just make sure you have the ability to put it in the correct spot to fit your wall/screen in your home before you buy it

Lets start with this is a really good projector for what it costs but its not watchable in my home theatre. When I first set this up the picture was beyond awful even after adjusting the keystone and focus and I didnt expect it to be great considering the low price. I felt something was wrong with my setup and spent several hours researching before I blamed the projector. I read the digital keystone adjustment lowers the resolution so I lowered my Xbox video output to 720p and that was a huge improvement. From what I read a sharp angle will reduce the quality of the image on most projectors so Im going to fix that as my projector is hanging from a 9ft ceiling when most are 8. I have the projector in an all black room and the image is projected onto a projector screen and its almost unwatchable set at 9ft away from the screen. I think this will be a great projector for the price if its installed where I dont have to use keystone adjustment and its closer to the screen so the projected image is 75 inches or less. Im probably going to return it and get a TV or a more expensive projector. If I dont return it Ill use it for playing movies outside l. Ill update the review after reducing the angle the keystone has to adjust to. Do your research before deciding to buy a projector if you plan to use it everyday. Its not like a TV where you hang it on the wall and your done. This is a more work and higher potential enjoyment scenario. Id like to see this brand create a mid range projector Im very impressed for the money spent but I got what I paid for a budget projector. I tried adjusting it again with a flush mount and than moving it closer so the screen was 75 inches. It looked better but I wasnt feeling it. This is a good projector for the price.

I will say right off the bat that my first experience wasn’t good. I got a dud it had a big tadpole shaped blotch on the screen and I wasn’t sure it was the upgraded version. Well jimtab was extremely quick to send out the replacement via Amazon and I am impressed. From all the very positive images here and reviews on YouTube I think I just got a dud the first time. It happens. The one I ended up with though WOW! Talk about value for the money. Great picture great brightness works very well with a fire stick. Only thing I would advise is to turn off their noise reduction as it can cause juddering. Once off tho good motion and color. Perfect for movies and tv. For games you probably want to use a tv in this case if it is fast paced but hell a couple hundred bucks for this? Best couple hundred I’ve ever spent.

Great picture even with sunlight coming in. Super easy to set up and great audio.

Works as expected and advertised. The picture quality is nothing short of superb! The picture quality is superb, even early in the evening when its not so dark. The picture obviously improves as the night grows darker. The internal speakers provide ok sound. I connect my Bose Soundlink Revolve to the headphone jack, which provides movie theater quality sound. Definitely worth the money!

This is an amazing projector for the price. The one thing that holds it back is the picture quality when using the keystone correction. The picture quality varies greatly from top and bottom when the keystone correction is active. If you can aim it straight on, it is great. For the price though, I’m not sure there is a better projector.

After watching so many videos on projectors I made my decision with this projector. So far I love it! Colors are amazing as well as the audio. 10/10
