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)

This projector is great value! I bought this projector to watch movie and play ps 4 when I am in bed. It’s been about 3 weeks since I bought the projector, it pretty good with the picture quality and resolution. I mounted the projector on my ceiling and directly projects to the wall, works great so far. With the lamp in the room on and off, the picture is clear and bright. With daylight on, it is not as clear as at night(I think this is a common issue with projectors though). The USB port allows me to directly connect a hard drive to it and play some movies, but I’m not a big fun of downloading stuff, so, it’s kinda extra to me. The sound of it is acceptable, bass is not as good as my Bose soindlink mini. So I mounted the small speaker on top of the projector and then use the USB port to charge the speaker. Overall, it’s a great projector with $200 budget. Everything works just fine for me.

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

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.

The picture is great! Fan is a little loud but for the price its well worth it.

The picture is great. i was going to buy a speaker, but i didn’t need one because the built in speaker is really nice. 10/10

Iv had for a while the picture was nicer than I expected. I like that you can hook up what you want even gaming console. I only dislike the sound quality but it’s better than nothing and maybe you can get a small sound bar for it then it will be perfect! But def recommend !

Late 2019: I ran into a couple issues with my first projector where it was making some extra noise when powered on. It sounded like the fans were grinding a bit, this ultimately caused there to be a burn in the light bulb where the center of the screen would be a white circle and the outer edges would be a dark shadow. I also ran into an issue where the projectors sleep timer does not calculate correctly. It would divide the time selected by 5. For example, if you selected for it to sleep in an hour, it would turn off in 12 minutes. The projector is good when it works correctly. The support was great!

I love it, its in our family room that was barely used. We only use it for movies, really nice and clear to our semi-glossy textured wall. A little noisy but for the low investment... its ok, especially during the covid days.

The M18 v1.0 is probably one of the best budget projectors on the market. Its picture quality is great (so much better than $100 budget projectors), its brightness is decent for most room lighting conditions, and its sound quality is good. The fans/motor noise is loud, but you tend to not notice it after a couple of weeks. Strategic projector placement and external speakers may help. Otherwise, I’m very happy with my purchase and would recommend any native 1080p projectors, and specifically M18, to any friends/family looking for a mostly enjoyable projector viewing experience. Breakdown incident - after unplugging it for the holidays (~6 days), we plugged it back in and suddenly it wouldn’t turn on. We troubleshooted with new power cord and using other outlets, but still no power (besides faint green light on power button). After communicating with customer service via email, they kindly agreed to send us a new replacement projector free of charge. We’ve had it for a week now, and things appear to be working great again. Long story short, when the projector works as expected, it’s great; when it doesn’t, JIMTAB support will help you troubleshoot and eventually take care of you properly, so it’s great then too.

This projector is very easy to set up and connected to my phone through an HDMI connector. The quality of the image is pretty good and the sound from the projector made this experience even better. We used this in my sons room which the image is projected to the wall and part of the door, but it didnt affect the experiences at all. I recommended this to anyone who would like to have an addition to their home screen. One more thing is that you dont need to worry about the children starring at the screen all the time, they are actually looking at the wall.
