Suprised at the quality
To be honest I didn’t expect much for the price and have heard so much about fake Amazon reviews. I carefully unpackaged the projector fully expecting I’d need to retain all the boxes and packaging for the return.
However plugged in and set-up within seconds. Picture quality is fine even with ambient light. The hardest part was getting my chromecast to reset to the correct wifi.
Only niggle is that the power cord is far too short, so I ordered a longer one, and it could do with adjustable feet for it to sit slightly higher on the table.
Aside from that I’m pleased with the purchase and have already recommended to several friends.
Good value but fan is quite noisy.
Brilliant little projector, capable of a massive image that covers the whole wall. Not quite bright enough to use in day time unless you’re using black out blinds/curtains but perfect for a film in the evening.
The picture settings do need to be changed when viewing different content as the brightness and colour can vary massively. I noticed the fan is quite noisy although I haven’t seen anyone else complain about it. It’s fine when watching standard TV or playing games but I found it a bit distracting during quiet scenes in films.
Overall I’m really happy with the projector at that price point. For films and casual gaming, it’s a good buy. I’ll probably replace the fan on mine at some point but for now it’s only a minor annoyance.
This is a great projector! I was fortunate enough to get it on a Lightning Deal for 50.99 instead of the usual 59.99 so I was well pleased. It came using Royal Mail 48H Tracked and was well packaged. Upon opening the box I was pleasantly surprised to find everything you’d need to get started EXCEPT batteries for the remote. For me it’s not a biggy, as I tend to use my own rechargeable batteries for everything anyway. Just to make you aware if you’re considering purchasing.
If you’ve used an Android type Kodi box then you’ll be familiar with the remote. It’s exactly the same. From my initial set up and testing, it seems you need the remote to control the volume. I may be wrong, but I couldn’t see anything on the projector to act as a volume control. Again, for me, not a problem. I connected my new projector to a Blackberry Playbook with a load of movies I’ve watched over the years and selected HDMI. There’s other settings for PC, VGA, TF card, that sort of stuff but this worked fine for me. Sound was pretty good from the inbuilt speakers, although when I set it up fully I will probably plug is my old USB speakers and trail them down the back of the sofa. The power lead was a decent length, which proves a bit of thought goes into what’s going in the box. It looks as if there’s an incentive to leave good 5* reviews if you’re happy. I won’t say much more. You’ll have to buy the projector to see what that incentive is!
Correcting the angle on the wall (keystone) works well, as does the overall viewing experience. I was initially concerned about what I thought would be a noisy fan but DON’T BE. Literally when I put my movie on I couldn’t hear the fan over the inbuilt speakers. I was immersed in the beginning of Beverly Hills Cop 2 as you can see from my initial screenshot! I will upload pictures of unboxing and so on, but I wanted to demonstrate that this was opened and up and running with no faffing about in literally 2 minutes! If you want to treat yourself to a cinema like experience for very little money then I recommend the DR.Q HI-04 mini projector. Great for the up and coming long Winter Nights! 5* Product. 5* Seller!

Great at the price
This is much better quality than I expected. Really easy to use and set up. compact size means its easy to move around the house and take with me. I love tennis, and have been frustrated watching it on my tablet/computer – now I have a big screen experience! I’m not a techie so can’t comment on that side but my brother-in-law who is, says it’s really good value for money for the quality of the picture …..
Value for money! Great for movie nights.
Good quality for the price; and has been performing beyond my expectations when used at home to watch shows. The speaker is loud and the projector itself doesn’t make a lot of noise when operating so we were able to hear everything loud and clear!
However, I also bought this as I was going to paint a mural and wanted to project the illustration onto the wall to trace, but it’s not HD so it’s pretty pixelated when you’re up close; still good for the price though!

For price, a great offering
Im not a techie, however this projector is brilliant. I use it in the second bedroom against a white wall. Best results in dark (night time or blinds down). The sound is perfect. I connect my apple tv to it and all works fine. I have also connected my laptop, and its ok as well, screen mirroring of screen or PPt is good.
Perfect second device for the house and well worth it. Only criticism, no bag.

Good produc
It is not the best product out there but for the price of the projector, it does the job particularly well so I would recommend it. I bought the projector for fun so I am very impressed with how easy it us to set up and how the cables I needed are all included in the box which saves me the hassle of digging out or buying cables to connect to it. I also like the fact that it is small/compact so it doesn’t take up a lot space when I store it away somewhere when I’m not using it and I can take it to other places with me if I want to. The only problem I have is that the power cable is shorter than I expected so I will need to buy a longer one, but aside from that, it is a good product.

Cheap and Awesome.
The stars submitted here are for value for money.
We used it in coalition with my xbox one s as a makeshift TV whilst on holiday.
It wont blow your minds with super hi res pictures but for the price tag of sixty pounds was great fun and value.
We used it for games and was adequate a little lag, I mean little, but was fine.
Movies were again easily watchable and without too much pixelation (we had it approx 13ft from wall the picture was huge and perfectly “watchable”).
And we used it outside for Movie nights on a white tarp and held up pretty well, most of the family thought it was Brill, was only the geeks like me and my brother that were picking it up for its shortfalls.
All in all we have used this to death this summer and has been money weel spent.
Great little travel projector for watching Movies and TV shows.
Well done Dr Q.
A great little projector for the price
Just had chance to have a quick play with it and these are my thoughts.
Firstly, lets not forget its 60. And put right the mistake most people make when getting a projector.
Many projectors, several hundreds or even thousands of pounds produce what i would expect to be perfect HD or these days 4K images. Projectors at 60 are not HD, and many people dont seem to understand the TV screen pixel size thing! These projectors will ACCEPT inputs of HD 1080, which means you can put INTO it high quality video/dvd, but the output is less than this, usually around the 480-800.
(You wouldn’t expect to get a mini to run like a Ferrari, just because you’re putting the same fuel in it!!)
The quality is therefore only as good as the projector and in this case, the quality is pretty good. The projector is very quiet and you dont have to have the sound up load to not even hear the fan. The remote is simple and easy to use. The projector itself is nice and small, smaller than it appears on the images to sell it. It comes with a pretty good instruction book and all the leads (HDMI etc) that you will need.
All in all so far, i am really pleased with it.
So in brief, if you’re expecting full HD and surround sound to compete with Cineworld, then you need to spend more money. If you want an easy to set up, compact, projector for family entertainment at very little cost, you wont go wrong with this.

We were looking for an easily portable projector to use in my history class project images of maps, pictures etc. to illustrate the talks. As it is run on a voluntary basis our budget was fairly limited.We were delighted to find a projector with such a good spec. at such a reasonable price. We haven’t been able to test it out in the church hall yet as we only meet every 2 weeks. However a dummy run in our lounge has been very impressive. My husband thinks that it more than lived up to its spec. and worked well, even in a semi dark room. He also liked being able to mount it on a tripod. He found the enclosed Q&A leaflet most helpful.
For the .money it compared well with much more expensive items.

worth the money
This bargain lcd projector is worth the money putting out a good image . I bought it for 47 with the voucher code so won’t complain to much : ) . Its far from perfect though.First off for the average person it displays a worthy image ( more in the realms of dvd quality) to enjoy your films on but somehow struggles to display scenes with sharp detail. I.e upscaling blu ray hi def to a clean and clear image. the picture at times looks washed out and flat but then again this is me comparing it to a full hd tv so not to worry. I have used it on a 100inch projector screen in a small room and not tried out the custom settings yet which doesnt help lol. Still early days. So if your on a tight budget and not a fussy technophile this projector is worth buying. Great for the occasional movies and sports events. Invest in something better if your building a proper home cinema.

Lightweight, great quality product for the price
The projector looked better than I thought it would. I had expected a flimsy product due to the price point but it actually looks like a good quality piece of hardware.
The image quality, as mentioned by other reviewers, is very good. I only watch things in fairly dim light and it was very clear. Don’t have the opportunity to watch anything during the daytime to test it.
With the 20% discount it was a very good bargain.

Fantastic product at this price point.
Purchased this product for occasional movie night in the loft but didn’t want to spend money on a costly projector. I was fearful that, at this price point, the projector would not be up to much. Having read the 5* reviews I took the plunge and I am not disappointed. Easy to set up and instructions are clear. Operation is intuitive so you will not have to keep reaching for the manual. Useful remote control although you will need to purchase 2 x AAA batteries separately. Image quality is good in a darkened room. Sound is fine but vastly improved running through external speakers. Fan noise is moderate but easily drowned out by film sound that does not need to be jacked up. Connection options are great. Overall a great little package. Would highly recommend if this isn’t going to be your main entertainment source or you are a tech head looking for super high definition.

good projector that worked well for night time outdoor cinema experience
we wanted to set up a small outdoor screen for a garden cinema experience. in short this projector was perfect for that. Attached is a pic of our setup.
We bought a white cloth screen to project on and used a portable speaker (plugged in via the built in 3.5mm jack port) to enhance the audio. We connected using a Chromecast into the HDMI on the projector and from there used our phones to control all the content.
After that it was as simple as getting cosy under some blankets and setting back to watch whatever we wanted. The picture quality was the top end of what you would expect from a DIY setup. It obviously didn’t look like being in a professional cinema or a bright as watching on a TV but we never felt distracted by the quality and completely forgot we were watching on a projector once we started the screening.
As you can see its pretty much dusk when we had it running. This is not going to work during the day but late evening it was more than watchable. We were about an hour into what we were watching at this point.
We did initially set it up inside during the day (about 3pm) and with the curtains closed it was great. During the initial set up we used it with the built in speaker and it seemed inline with a decent speaker.
We are very happy with the purchase and would recommend this to anyone looking to watch films or project games as it will just plain work for that without issue

Wow. What a surprise. I read a lot of the 5* reviews and was a bit sceptical. But having bought one, I can understand the positive feedback. This is a surprisingly good projector, with a good picture quality. It’ll link to Android phones by means of a Chromecast dongle (30). After that, you can stream prime, iplayer, Netflix, vlc, all to the projector, without having to connect anything.
The downsides are the iffy sound quality (but it’ll link to external speaker through headphone cable) and the clunky menu, which isn’t the clearest. But other than this, very good

The product was easy to use and the quality of the picture was good and reasonable for that price… I have used for 30 mins till now and could see that the projector wasn’t heated up. I have the connector already to connect from iPad or iPhone which I brought on apple store and the picture quality was really good. You could adjust the focus for clarity. My kids were excited to see their favorite movie on larger screen 🙂 overall would recommend and happy with the purchase so far.

This was bought as a Christmas gift for a relative.
For the price we were not expecting a home cinema quality projector, but something simple, compact and suitable for basic presentations which is exactly what we got. It struggles a little in a brightly lit room, so it is best to use with blinds/curtains drawn and lights off. The resolution is not HD but more like 480p. It accepts input from a Windows and Mac laptop without issue.
If you’re looking for a cheap and simple projector for the occasional presentation or to do a basic home cinema for the kids, then this is a very good option.

We’ve just received this (and had a play with it) and I am so impressed with this little projector for the price. My husband is doing a few talks and decided that he wanted to use Powerpoint, so this is going to be so useful – better than hiring one and then having to figure them out just beforehand.
I bought one years ago and it was a lot more expensive than this one. It is also small enough to be carried easily and it goes on to my camera tripod, so no need to have to use a table. We also used it to look up a few Youtube videos and the quality is very good. A brilliant piece of kit.

First of all, the projector (at least when I bought it) costs around 55. You aren’t buying a 4K cinema level projector, and shouldn’t go into the purchase expecting that level of picture quality. Assuming that you aren’t expecting to open up a cinema in your bedroom, you’re going to be very happy with this purchase.
The unit itself is a handy size – about the size of a box of kleenex tissues. It is very light, which makes it easy to use, particularly with a small tripod/grip stand.
Personally, I purchased a ‘Gorillapod 3k’ style camera mount to use with this product, and it works perfectly. The gorillapod lets you mount the projector onto unusual surfaces (such as by attaching to a wooden bar or metal pole) rather than requiring a solid flat surface to set it on, so I’d highly reccomend something along those lines. In my case, this meant that I could mount the projector by wrapping the Gorillapod around the headboard of a bed, keeping it out of the way as I watch movies.
As for the projector itself, it provides a good picture. Whilst you should ignore the lumen rating in the listing (these are the typical ‘chinese marketing lumens’), I found it to produce a bright, vibrant result, particularly in a dimly lit room. It was totally enjoyable at the distances I needed (around 3-4 meters from screen).
The only problem that I have found with this unit is that the screen size can only be reduced down to 75%. This does somewhat limit the distance at which the projector needs to be from the screen if you need to project onto a defined size of screen. For me, using it to project movies in a bedroom, that meant either setting the projector on the bed (rather than mounting it on the headboard), or accepting that a small part of the display wouldn’t fit onto the screen that I was using. This is something you’ll have to play around with and probably figure out in practice.
My recommendation would be to pair the projector up with something like a Fire Stick/Chromecast to make your life easier.
All things considered, I would highly reccomend this for anyone that wants to project a few movies for fun at home. If you’re looking for a TV replacement, this would work well if you only watch TV in dark/dim rooms. If you’re opening up a Cinema, then you should really be looking at a higher budget level.

Exceeded expectations
Before I write my review, this is my first time buying a projector & I don’t know a great deal about them.
At first I wasn’t so sure about it, with the price I didn’t know what to expect. So I’ll break this down into experiences.
Opening the box: it was a bit smaller than expected, but that’s probably a pro. It also comes with the wires you need (hdmi cable etc.) which I didn’t expect to be included.
Setting up: I had to put a lot of thought into where I was going to set this up in my space. I experimented a little in almost every room against every colour (I don’t have a projector screen yet but have ordered one). Obviously I opted for the larger screen size & took over my white wall… the image appeared almost distorted at first, but after playing around with all the settings for about 15m I got it looking pretty great, there’s a lot of personalisation settings you can change to get the picture looking how you’d expect.
Overall it’s a good product, especially for the price. It works & I now have a 120 inch tv in my room! Awesome!
I’ve been using it to play on fortnite and will be having movie nights soo

Great for the money
Projector works straight out of the box.
I adjusted the picture settings to my liking (there are many options) and they remain the default.
I tested using the in built usb port and it works well, but I primarily use it connected to my macbook where it is essentially an external monitor where I can watch full screen video. For this reason I hardly use the remote control except to power it on or off.
I have also connected a wireless airplay dongle and that is the current preferred set up.
It is powerful enough to watch with the curtains closed during the day but it’s best in a completely dark room.
It is approx 7ft away from the wall and makes a roughly 5ft wide picture perfectly in focus.
I use the projector pointed slightly down and there is a built in correction for the angle that has made it possible to get the perfect height on the wall without looking warped.
Overall it’s great and I’d recommend it.

Decent quality images but poor hardware in my case.
Product arrived well.
Was amazon refurbished.
picture quality is decent in a dark room.
My projector’s tilt stone came loose in 5 hours of usage …and now moves to either of the ends…now fixed with glue tack.
Contacted seller for refund..they said its sold by amazon so they cant refund.
so would be returning to amazon.
Didn’t expect much from a projector at this price…but very good for its price bracket..
contacted customer suppor they provided an alternate solution.
Thank you for the resolutio

Good projector for price
We use this for two different bedroom walls. Projects well big (7ft) or Small (3ft) depending on distance from wall. We find the picture quality is good for amazon prime and Netflix etc. Not for PC/ text. The focus seems to not get the entire projection spot on but if you fiddle with it you can get a balanced amount of focus. Couldn’t seem to get keystone correction to work at all – dial not responsive but can easily adjust keystone by propping the projector up slightly.
Fan is quite loud but doesn’t really interrupt the good speakers built in. We hooked up to Bose speaker which worked well. Could do with a carry case and lens cap for when not in use.
Kids love it – home cinema! Overall great value for money and worth the purchase.

Not bad
Well I wasn’t expecting alot for the price but it quite surprised me on the quality of picture. Good brightness and good colours on an 84 inch screen.
I’ve given it 5 for durability because the grand daughter tripped over the wire only to send it crashing to the floor from a 2 foot high stool yet it still works great.
Small and compact, very good quality and simple to use
Superb projector, easily connected to my iPad with the correct lead (purchased separately) and was up and running in minutes
The picture quality very good even though the room wasn’t in complete darkness.
Husband very impressed and looking forward to watching some videos on the big screen
It will be also very a good tool to project images onto the wall for artwork, as a designer I will find this very useful and portable too
Happily recommend projector and delighted with my purchase, great value for money

A great projector at a great price. Highly recommended for a budget home cinema. Works great with any hdmi source such as ps4, dvd, laptop, xbox, fire stick when in a darkened room. Easy to use remote and easy to change settings, volume, image orientation etc. Also accepts USB sticks with movies and photos. A good collection of formats are able to be played back without any issues.
Fan noise is audible but built in speaker is nice and loud, plus it has a headphone socket. Comes with UK power lead, hdmi cable and a/v phono connector.
Communication from seller is fantastic and any issues or advice is answered and sorted out very quickly.
Would highly recommend ordering from this seller and have full confidence in them. My projector developed a fault within the first year so emailed seller informing them. Email received from them within a few hours with apologies and advice. A couple of photos of the problem sent back and a new projector arrived a few days later. Fantastic service from all involved especially Anna who sorted the problem out so quickly and efficiently.
Great stuff and exactly how online shopping should operate.
Give this great little projector a try. I’m sure you will like it and be extremely surprised at its quality at such a great price.

I will start by stating I am not an expert so was not going for anything high spec/techy. For the price this is a great product with a cinematic picture. It took me ages to set up and I didn’t find the instructions easy, however reading through previous reviews I eventually found my answers. I use it hooked up to a USB stick for presentations and it works a treat and I use it with amazon fire stick and even hook it up to my iPad. was a bit fiddly to set up had to purchase a few additional leads for compatibility with amazon products but well worth it. I read other reviews and once you have adjusted with a lot of trial and error the picture settings you will be very pleased with the results. Picture quality is obviously rubbish in day light and ok with curtains drawn and daylight outside, best in darkness and still great with very low lighting. The projector sound is loud however I don’t seem to notice it once the film is on and we get going.
Please don’t be put off with the negative reviews its is obviously not the top of the range at this price however for what it is and the price it really is a bargain!! And I was not incentivised to write this review.
Can anyone tell me where I can buy a compatible tripod and carry bag for this product please.

A decent little projector for not a lot of your hard earned
I bought this projector for the girlfriend at Christmas so she wasn’t using a tiny 32″ tv in comparison to 120″ projection this is cable of (and more). I personally own a projector at the other end of the scale, 4K HDR, 7.1 Dolby Atmos sound system and a screen. Comparing the two together is like chalk and cheese but what I would say, is that this DR.Q projector does an incredible job for the price point. She’s super happy with it and she’s usually watching films with me on my setup and she says it doesn’t matter to her as the experience is just as fun.
You can’t use this to browse the web or read web pages because the text is unreadable and not sharp enough. I knew this from reading reviews but the mrs has it setup with a chromecast in the back and she casts whatever she needs to from her phone or PC, so reading text doesn’t matter.
In a nutshell… buy this if you want to use it for a games console or movies / tv but don’t expect to surf the web on it. I was impressed at the picture quality for the price… yes there’s screen door effect there because the resolution is so low but that really doesn’t matter when you’re watching something… it’s a bit like HTC Vive or Oculus virtual reality, you can see the screen door effect on them too and they’re not cheap but when you’re stood there in a VR environment, it takes about 30 seconds for your brain to block it out and you don’t even notice.
I was really hesitant about buying this, I thought it would be pure garbage and I was about to spend 350 on an entry level Optoma or Epson projector but I’m glad I tried this first as it does the job.
The speakers suck a bit but hook some external ones up to it and that’s easily solved.

DRQ projector Update 12/11/19
Compact and light easy to setup good picture quality when used with a good screen.Hardly noticed fan until turned off
Update used daily for between 1 to 10 hours mainly for gaming/ youtube .Noisier than when first started using it but can’t hear when using headphones even with it being next to me(,don’t have sound high so I can hear doorbell).Doesn’t get very warm even when used continually for 12hours.

Great value projector.
Only had it a day and so far very impressed. Exceeded my expectations. I am using with my Firestick, the picture is clear and bright. In my small room 1.5m gives 60″ screen on wall. In living room it is huge, feels like a cinema. Sound is added bonus.
Only complaint would be fan is a bit loud, but it does keep the unit cool as its never been hot to touch after use.
For the price I highly recommend.

Not having any experience with projectors and not being a ‘techie’ I was rather lost which to buy. I don’t have a tv but wanted to play dvd’s etc on a bigger screen. I decided on this projector and got it at a deal price – I am surprised at the picture quality for a low price projector, its very good and the audio is sufficient for a small sized room but has the ability to plug in exterior speakers. I also purchased a fire stick and had no problem setting that up directly through the projector. I have also ordered a projector screen, the wall i’m using at the moment to project is a soft jade colour yet the picture quality is good so on a nice white screen i’m expecting a better picture. The projector is well made, compact and light. If there is a down side it is a lack of lens cover. For the price, and this should always be taken into consideration, this is very good and I would recommend to someone looking for a first time budget projector.

Well I was sceptical. I saw tech reviews after I ordered this projector and then thought: what have I done? Well, now I know. Do I regret it? I watched a classic Bette Davis in black and white with a sound bar attached through an optic cable through my PS4. The result? It’s great. It does feel like home cinema for 60 quid. Hard to believe. You need to mess with the settings to get a good picture. The image is projected onto a spandex portable screen for 20 pounds. So, with the stand, the whole thing comes in at just over 100. For the money, it’s a stunning budget level entry to home cinema. You need a dark room and it’s not going to stand up in daylight. I had a look at the Lord of the Rings. The pictures was from Blu-ray and a bit fuzzy in some detail but on the whole very acceptable. Colours were good. Motion blur no issue. I played Assassins Creed Odyssey. Great too. Not the quality of HD television but nevertheless for a big screen experience – 5 ft widescreen at about 3 metres from projector to screen – it’s good enough. I tried my Amazon firestick directly into the hdmi slot and that, too, is good. So my reservations are : sound is not great, a sound bar improves things; you need a dark room; probably won’t be brilliant in daytime without curtain drawn at least. I’ve had it for a few hours. Will it hold up to regular use? I’ll repost if there are problems hence my low durability score because, at this stage, I simply don’t know. Underneath the projector is a thread that will take a camera tripod. The build is what you’d expect – minimal functions but I’m not paying out hundreds of pounds. I’m pleasantly surprised.
Decent and very affordable little projecto
This is my first projector so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The first thing you notice when you unbox is just how small it is – about the size of two nintendo wii’s stacked on top of each other, but not as heavy -making it super portable. Its very easy to set up, just plug and play. Using the USB some of the files didn’t work. I found it worked much better playing from a laptop via the HDMI. There are some preset picture settings, however I preferred making my own user settings which is easy to work out.
The fan noise is not too bad, you can’t really notice it above the speakers until there is no sound on whatever you are watching. The built in speakers are decent but don’t really have any bass to speak of, but are more than adequate given that there is an audio out that I have yet to try. Obviously the farther back you have the projector the bigger the image but you also start to loose picture quality. It works best at about 8 ft away giving roughly 100″. I have only used this on the wall so far, I have ordered a proper screen as I think this will make a a big difference. For best results you really do need a very dark room.
I watch a lot of movies, averaging one a day – I reckon I’ll end up using this quite a bit. Dont expect 1080p, but for for the price I don’t think you can beat this projector.

Great value for the money - but limit your expectations
I got the product to project Halloween decorations on the curtains – worked fantastically, neighbourhood kids loved it. Just to set the correct expectations – this is an extremely cheap projector and it’s not suited to be used in anything but (almost) total darkness. Not suitable for meeting rooms or watching anything during the day. But for the money spent it’s brilliant – it can play all sorts of stuff directly via USB, no link to a computer is needed. It has a remote control and everything. Highly recommend it for DYI projects, for kids watching cartoons in a home-made cinema or other amateur usages. Also works well for outdoors TV watching, during the night when there is no light.

I have never written a review before but I feel I have to for this item because it’s that good. Straight out of the box it feels like a quality product. Set is easy and straightforward, and I was sat on my sofa watching a movie within minutes. I am using an Amazon fire stick which I simply plugged into the HDMI socket. The look on my daughter’s faces when they returned from school to see “Elf” playing in all its glory was worth the money alone! The picture quality is impressive and much better than I was expecting as this price. Its difficult to justify spending hundreds of pounds when this fulfills all my requirements. I was a bit concerned that the fan would be noisy and the sound quality of the speakers would be a problem, but how wrong could I be. The fan noise is more than acceptable and not noticeable above the loud and clear speakers. Christmas movie nights have now been taken to another level!
My wife and I were debating whether to purchase a TV or a projector and eventually chose a projector due to the fact that TV’s are bulky and didnt really suit out lounge layout. I started looking for a projector within my price range and eventually settled on this one having read the reviews. I was really happy when the projector arrived. It looks well made and is not bulky or heavy. We tested the projector and I was amazed at the picture quality and sound. I really feel like it has been a good purchase and I look forward to many hours of viewing.

Worth it for the really low price
The picture quality is fine for in a small space at night – I had to turn all the lights off to get a decent image, although the colour still isn’t amazing. It’s not the quietest, especially if you are going to play sound through the speakers of the projector (which it will default to), and it does get hot. But you get what you pay for and this is a very reasonably priced projector that works just fine!
I use mine with a Anycast wireless dongle so I don’t have to deal with cables everywhere and adapters for plugging into my macbook (there aren’t that many output options from the projector).

Well worth the money.
For what you pay, I cannot fault this projector.
In a blacked out conservatory, with the projector set at recommended distance from screen, watching the 2018 FIFA World Cup, it was brilliant.
Unit a bit noisy but if program sound turned up and with the unit not right in your ear, you won’t notice it.
I plugged the unit into an external speaker system – perfect sound.
Picture quality is good too. I was surprised at how good it was.
Obviously, the darker the surroundings the better the picture. I’ve only used it in near complete darkness.
Would recommend.

For the price, this is an amazing projector. It is perfect for movie nights, gaming and connecting laptops/devices whatever you want basically! I would recommend using a speaker (connected through 3.5mm jack to jack cable or bluetooth to the original device) as the sound of the unit itself can be drowned out by the overall noise. However, other than that, I have no complaints. At its largest size, the picture is good but not HD. Nevertheless, good luck finding a projector below 300 quid that will guarantee you a good HD picture at that output.
Take the plunge, you won’t regret it!

Pleasantly surprised
Have used expensive Sony/BenQ in the past. For the price I was very happy. Bought mainly for out door use … worked surprisingly well on a flat bed-sheet on the wall – tho do need to wait till proper sundown for it to be dark enough.
So far only used a few times – again outdoor – but so far a great wee projector … perfect with memory stick playback and so far via my firetv stick.
Sound from the unit itself – as commented alreay – is adequate, but have almost exclusively used external speakers with it.
Pleasantly surprised
Have used expensive Sony/BenQ in the past. For the price I was very happy. Bought mainly for out door use … worked surprisingly well on a flat bed-sheet on the wall – tho do need to wait till proper sundown for it to be dark enough.
So far only used a few times – again outdoor – but so far a great wee projector … perfect with memory stick playback and so far via my firetv stick.

Great little projector, nice and easy to use. Looks great, you can hook up your game consoles in hd or play movies from a pen drive. Sound quality is good, picture is best in a slightly darkened room. Perfect for our Studio apartment in the Alpes.
Update, i emailed customers services asking if I could buy a case for the projector, they emailed back sorry it is out of stock and would i like a free tripod. No thanks I replied, just wanted a case. Richard then replied i can send you a bag foc in few weeks. And then he did! Fantastic customer service thank you.

Couldn’t be happier with the projector! Good quality build, picture is superb and the sound is good for projector speakers.
Great build quality and picture. All in one solution for your own home cinema.
After wanting a projector for some time and spending countless hours reviewing different ones, being both confused and put off by the massive difference in prices. I finally made the decision not to invest 1000s of pounds on a top of the range model and settled for one with good reviews and at this price i wasn’t expecting much, ‘you get what you pay for and all that’. But all i can say is i was more than impressed with this little fella, i was envisaging sitting in a blacked out room, squinting at faint image in the dead of night. I was wrong, sure you need the curtains closed during the day but the quality is good and i even took to watching the word cup with it.
Basically it was a great little investment, that i would most certainly get again.

I’m using it with my Chrome cast and works very well!
Can be a bit noisy if you use in on something solid like a chest of drawers, but just add some soft stuff underneath, and you will barely hear the noise. The more you move it away from the wall/surface the worse is the resolution, but makes sense.
So listen up:
1 keep it on a soft surface
2 Don’t use it too far from the wall
3 play around with the options you have and you will be able to increase the quality of the video

Great projector for the price fan not too noisy sound is a little tinny but can also be enhanced with an external speaker picture is very good ( even on a white wall ) would deffo recommend this product for movie nights and gaming and its portable and light to transfer from room to room etc best results are of a night time for viewing

I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised at the quality, functions and size. I do a lot of talks with Powerpoints, and are fed up of turning up at venues and spending 30 minutes getting their 20 year old projector to work, so – I bought my own, and have to say, it does the job very well.
Just to let people know, I use my projector in work accommodation which isn’t too different to college dorms. I mainly use it for movies/netflix from my laptop and gaming. So I cannot vouch for business or presentation applications.
First the positives.
The projector is simple to use, doesn’t generate much heat and the picture is pretty good for a low-end projector. The construction is far more solid than I was expecting and was rather pleased with the presentation. The speakers are surprisingly good, with a clear sound that doesn’t peak at higher volumes like my other low-end projector.
The cons.
The fan is louder than advertised, that being said it is not deafening and generally if you’re watching a movie you don’t notice it. The picture is certainly not 1800 lumens, I would say 180, maybe. It can be viewed in darkness or low light, but definitely not with the lights on. And the focus, if you use the keystone at all, blurs out towards the edges. Which, is fine for a movie, but I wouldn’t recommend for business presentations as it would make text difficult to read.

Great little projector. My son loves watching movies on it. I use it with the Amazon Fire TV Stick and it’s great. Only issue I have with this purchase is that it arrived without the remote control, but as I use the Fire TV remote it isn’t really an issue for me. Even with the remote missing I had to give it 5 stars simply for the ease of use and performance quality at 2.7 meters which I am using it at. I used this projector in work and liked it so much I bought it for home use.

Great little projector. Fast delivery. I am projecting to a wall with white paint. Happy with the purchase
A great little projector. Although it says not suitable for pp it does a reasonably acceptable job in a small room. Videos and stills are very good. An excellent price too. Highly recommend.

First things first – this isn’t a full HD projector. If you care deeply about not seeing the pixel grid when you stand close to the screen, this isn’t for you. I work as an animator and filmmaker, so spend my working life tweaking and colour correcting video. My previous projector was a 10 year old pico projector with 30 lumens of brightness. The only reason I upgraded it, was because it was difficult to see dark scenes, even witht the curtains drawn, on sunny days. And that it sometimes didn’t work when running it off my iPad. You might think why would some one who cares about image put up with such a poor spec machine. The truth is that I found that for movie nights having a big, colourful image and great sound was far more important than a true HD image. Friends and family tended to praise the image of the little pico projector, so with the higher specs of DR.Q I didn’t see any need to spend more.
Initial thoughts – when plugging this projector in, via HDMI, for the first time I was really disappointed. So disappointed that I was carefully collecting up all the bits and putting them back in the box to return it. My main problem was that the picture although sharp and very bright, was charmless – washed out and over sharpened to the point of ugliness.
So why 5 stars? Well the next day I set it up again and spent the afternoon going through the settings. The more I worked with this machine the more liked it. There has been a huge amount of thought and care that has gone into this projector. Firstly the remote is excellent. What isn’t advertised so that on the remote is a button for digital zoom, very useful if (like me) you have a limited space to use this projector in. Secondly you can tweak virtually everything about the image to suit your taste. This transforms the projector into a totally different machine.
Settings – here are the settings I found gave the most filmic image:
Picture style – Personal setting
Contrast 46
Brightness 40 – 46 (change this depending on the film, if its a dark film you might want to make the image brighter)
Colour. 80
Sharpness 20 – most important to change
Tint 58
Colour Temp settings
Red 51
Green 78
Blue 40
Fan noise – projectors and fan noise go hand in hand, as bright bulbs generate heat so you are always going to have a fan whirring. This fan noise isn’t a problem, I din’t notice it when the film was playing.
Sound – run the sound directly from your computer/ iPad. With HDMI – put the HDMI cable in first, then plug in the lead to your speaker directly from your computer. If you plug in your sound first then plug in the HDMI, it will play the sound out of the projector. Playing sound from the projector headphone socket lowers the quality, so make sure to plug in your audio directly from the computer/iPad.
Conclusion – An excellent machine. My reason for choosing this over similar rival projectors was that it offered twice the contrast, I wasn’t expecting it to be so well thought out. Image is extremely sharp, colourful and bright. The remote is a huge plus and works great. You have digital zoom, that I’ve only seen previously on more expensive projectors. Focusing is easy and the leads fit very securely into the unit. Everything that needs to work well, does so. Lastly the tripod screw on the base is perfectly positioned for balance. All in all 5 stars.

Amazing projector for the price. It looks great. I’m really enjoying watching films with it. Easy to set up. would definitely recommend.
