Nice lightweight projector, clear picture, easy to use.
TIP: the menu was all in Chinese when I turned mine on, see my video to see where language option is.TIP: you will need 2 AAA batteries for the remoteTIP: for the best possible picture, the room needs to be quite dark, however it is still possible to watch in light but the colours and contrast diminishes.TIP: your android phone will require wireless display option to be able to stream via WiFi.TIP: it's best to get you projector as straight facing your viewing screen, wall as possible. I found using the keystone wheel to much made the edges of the picture blurry.I bought this projector as my daughter was bugging me to use mine all the time.The good thing about this is its light and easy to slip in a bag and take with you. I took it on a recent trip abroad and used it to watch movies from my phone in my hotel room. All on the hotels free wifi. I used the whole wall as the screen compared to the tiny TV in my room.The projector is easy to use, the menus are straight forward and the mirror screening comes with instructions on the screen itself so makes it easy to follow and get working.The fans make noise but the speakers are good enough to cover the noise so you don't hear it during use.The Cons are I would have liked a padded bag to carry it in but that's nothing I can't find myself.If you found my review useful please consider giving me a helpful vote and perhaps a follow for future reviews. Many thanks

Happy with this budget starting point for video projecting and phone mirroring
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. This is my first dabble into a projector for home video playback. Most of my experience is via chunky work based projectors showing powerpoint.So it's early days, but I've been impressed in general. For a budget buy there are lots of connectivity features, half decent sound output, and a solid picture reproduction.Picture quality is perfectly acceptable for video playback. The projector receives chromecast options from phones and the like, so it's easy to play back without cables. I have also mirrored my iphone with the native projector software to show photo's and videos.When mirroring iphone the clarity is a bit mixed when showing homescreen, but then is much better when showing photo or video streams.My initial trials are to findThe focus ring and keystone are both manual (as opposed to driven by the remote). A reasonable level of adjustment in the optics for focus being able to focus down to around 4-5ft. I've also focused at a distance of around 30ft too (although clearly this isn't a great image). For my use I want to project onto a matt white wall with a good balance between picture size and brightness. For me this is around 65 inch when playing 16:9.Hopefully you can get a good feel from the video cobbled together. I setup the projector alongside my 2019 Sony 49 inch TV. You should get a good feel for brightness and size comparison to a standard TV.Connection via HDMI is probably my favoured choice when in use. I will be mounting in a garage in the roof to project behind exercise equipment for an entertaining workout. To enable this there is a mounting screw hole as used for tripods, but a mount for screwing to the ceiling needs to be purchased separately. I intend to connect a USB powered Fire TV stick to the HDMI and use this.So, In a marketplace of what feels like hundreds of options, this'll do me nicely for a cheap starting point to experiment with. Looking forward to those warm summer evenings when I can hang a sheet over the fence and watch movies with the kids outside in the garden... Photo's to follow when the weather allows

Fantastic projector. Great for gaming and films.
Nice little simple home projector! I bought this for my chill room and it’s perfect for playing games and films on the wall. It has WiFi built-in which you connect your phone to, and then you and you can use Airplay on your Apple devices to stream films etc, this works really well and doesn’t lag too much. It also has miracast built-in for Androids but I haven’t used this.I can put some films on a USB stick and plug it into the projectors USB port and it plays the files fine, you have to make sure the file format is correct for the projector to be able to play video and sound from a USB stick though. You can get software to convert video files to work with the projector.It has a HDMI port which is useful as you can connect a HDMI TV stick into the projector, such as Amazon Fire TV stick etc as it has a two USB ports on the back, and one can be used to power the HDMI TV stick.The image quality is good for the size of the projector and for the price of it. You can adjust the focus to suit the distance from the wall, the minimum distance it needs to be from the wall is about 1.5 metres to get a good clear image.You don’t have to have the projector directly in the centre of the wall either, you can have it higher or lower than the projected image and it allows you to adjust the ‘keystone’ which fixes the image to make it straight on the wall. This is very useful for me as it’s in a small bedroom where I can’t have it directly in the centre of of where I want it projected. Only issue is with using the keystone adjustment is that you can’t get the top and the bottom of the image in 100% full focus, either the top or the bottom will be very slightly blurry.The fans are quiet considering other projectors, and I can’t hear them over the sound of the film anyway.The remote is useful and works well, has all of the main buttons that you need, volume and inputs can be changed. Settings on the projector are good, brightness and colour can be adjusted, zoom feature is cool as you can zoom in, and actually zoom out from 100% too to make the image smaller if you want without having to move the projector forwards or backward.Overall very happy with this projector, fantastic value and brilliant quality. Works well for gaming, films and tv shows, great range of inputs/outputs and features.
