It's a great way to dip your toes into projectors. I had a TV that would take a few months to ship to my house after I moved from overseas, so I decided to try this projector out. I did have to return the first one I got due to dust behind the lens, but I liked what I saw, so I ordered a replacement and I'd still say it's a 5/5.Pros: Great picture quality and brightness for the price. I project onto a 150 inch projector screen in my bedroom with blackout curtains, and it looks great. Latency is very good as long as you don't use keystone correction. With keystone, there's pretty bad latency, but that only matters when I'm trying to use it as a screen for my computer. The latency is good enough for single player games, but a TV is still slightly better. It's very bright and contrast is very good in a dark room with windows blacked out.Cons: Minor gripes but the fan is pretty loud at full brightness. If you need it at full brightness, expect to hear it over your audio. I run mine at 75% and it's not noticeable, but I wouldn't use it in a room with open windows or any other sources of light. The audio isn't the best, but because the audio comes from the projector, it's a weird experience no matter what. It works with external audio, and I can pair to a universal remote, so I hardly use it.It's a great projector for the price, specifically for showing movies/ sports in a dark room. I wouldn't say it can replace a living room TV, but it is great to compliment one. At this point, I only use my livingroom TV when hosting or to play games, but movies and TV shows are on the projector.If you want a good breakdown on this projector, there's plenty of reviews on youtube and online that discuss it to better explain the pros/ cons of going for this price point. My two cents is that if you're not fully committed, this is a good entry level projector to get started that won't leave you disappointed.

The media could not be loaded. I love it when things work right out of the box - and this projector does exactly that. I was up and watching my projector in under 5 minutes. Just plugged in the power cord, plugged in my fire stick to one of the hdmi ports on the back, and then focused the image with the focus ring. It was a straightforward, no-nonsense experience with no technical issues. And the focus ring and legs made for quick adjustment (note, the legs are meant for leveling, not for orienting your projector more than a about 10 degrees up or down).The picture quality actually exceeded my expectations. There was no blurriness or any warping that I found distracting or detracted from the experience of having a large, vibrant projection in front of me. Colors were rich and vibrant despite me having very thin curtains that let in plenty of light (see the video I attached). A lot of projectors are unwatchable unless the room is extremely dark. I was surprised to find this projector was watchable during the day indoors - sure, the image was somewhat faded with so much light but this was still a very impressive performance.Note, I was not using any special surface - just beamed it right at my wall. This means I could see the wall's texture if I scrutinized the image, but this would be the case with any projector in the world.At night or in a dark room the vibrancy of the image is truly terrific in my opinion. So this would work great indoors or for an outdoors movie night against the garage door or a wall.The heat and fan sound is not distracting unless you have your head directly next to the projector but this should never be the case. The projector should be behind or above you. A projector stand would be a wise investment if you don't have a place for your projector. There are more silent projectors on the market but they cost a lot more. There are also ultra-short-throw projectors that you can position directly in front of the wall but those cost a lot more. You are not paying for the best projector on the market which would cost you several thousands. You are not paying for a high-end sound system. You are paying for a large, vibrant projection that doesn't break the bank - and with that in mind, I think most people will find the projector provides a very cool and impressive experiencce.
