DR. Q HI-04 Projector with Projection Screen 1080P Full HD Supported, Upgraded 6500 Lux Video Projector Compatible with TV Stick PS4 HDMI USB AV.

Review after 31 months usage
We received this with the remote but could never get it to work – there is no infra-red receptor on projector, think the model received was one without this (did receive an email from manufacturer through Amazon soon after delivery but no time then to follow up).

Overall after 31 months of occasional usage, like this projector.

Use external wired soundbar – have bought a bluetooth transmitter but testing now, seems not to work via audio output jack, will update review if works.

Great Value for Money
My sister is 40 in a couple of weeks and wanted a Home/Garden Cinema experience for her Birthday-looking on line at cost to hire a company -we decided to look into buying our own projector and screen to see if we could create the atmosphere ourselves for less. We came across this projector whilst searching and were impressed with the video clips we watched and the reviews that we decided to purchase DR.Q HI-04 Projector ourselves with the added bonus of the screen being included in the price!….Delivery received the following day and we’ve tested it out watching the minions on the Big screen we didn’t take video footage as we were too engrossed in the film and watching the BIG screen. instructions easy to follow the remote is user friendly and the picture and sound quality is fantastic. We are all impressed with our purchase and are looking forward to many family movie nights under the stars! ..We would recommend this projector to anyone looking to buy one!.

I’m pleased
This is the first projector I have ever purchased so I’m not an expert. I was however searching for an affordable good quality projector for an outdoor cinema birthday party and went with this one based on the reviews. We haven’t had the party yet so haven’t watched a full movie as yet but I have set it up to test it to make sure everything was working as it should be. So far I’m impressed with the colour and picture quality and the sound seems pretty good to, although it may be beneficial to add a speaker or two if you’re sitting at a distance from the projector. I’ll give an update once we have used it for the party but so far I’m really impressed and it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg.

Absolutely brilliant!!
I bought this product hoping for the best but not sure due to the price but I wasn’t dissapppointed! Oh my god this is amazing!! The picture quality was great, the clarity and colour etc it was all spot on!! We had a socially distanced film night with friends and all of us said how great it is!! We haven’t used the screen yet as we projected it onto the side of the house (painted white) and it was as clear as day! Would definitely recommend!! Quick and efficient service too.

Impressed.
Been looking for a compact little projector for quite some time but wasn’t sure I actually would get the benefits from such a purchase. So instead of spending a fortune on an expensive model I thought I dip my toe in with a cheaper model. Delivery was on time and the product was very well packed on first viewing the projector seems reasonably well built. Set up was very easy if you have any experience with setting things up via HDMI cable. I spent a few minutes putting up the free screen just to see the size and then being a little impatient I decided to test out the projector. I was impressed with the quality of the picture (the screen and position of the projector were only temporary) I did have to fiddle with the colour and contrast. The fan is noticeable when projector on with nothing playing but once you press play on your device the fan is not noticable. The inbuilt speaker is serviceable and louder then I expected but there’s no depth to the sound so external speakers might be necessary. I will be using my surround sound system. One down side is I noticed on some reviews that digital zoom was an option unfortunately that isnt the case. I would say as a starter projector then this is a quality little purchase.

Great Projector and Customer Suppo
I purchased this projector Dec’19 and when received and setup I was very impressed with the product especially for the price, this was a good value item that produced quality results even when the room wasn’t in total darkness. I’ve had communication with the seller regarding the projector and must say he was very responsive and helpful and resolved my problem. Many Thanks.

Such a fun little projector!
Bought this a few weeks ago to replace my old tv and I am absolutely loving it! The first projector I received was faulty but it was quickly replaced hassle free for another one which is working perfectly, so very happy with the great level of customer service.
I bought this for movies and gaming and both look fantastic on it. It really does feel like a cinema experience. So far I’ve tried Xbox 360, Xbox one, ps3, and PS4 on it and have been able to connect them all via the hdmi slot with no issues at all. I’ve also used the hdmi slot to connect my chromecast device which allows me to stream from my Netflix/prime video/YouTube accounts. There is also a usb slot which is super handy if you have movies or tv shows downloaded onto a usb. Just slot it into the projector and you’re good to go.
The projector does make some noise when it’s running but it’s not really noticeable when your movie/game sound is on so not an issue for me. The actual projector sound quality is really clear and can be turned up so that you definitely won’t have any problem hearing it even if you’re sitting all the way across the room. You can also change between different sound and picture modes which is a nice touch.
Setup time is instant, just plug in the projector, switch it on, aim it at the wall and your all set. I found it worked both on a blank wall and on the cloth screen that comes with it. The screen is nice and big and easy to attach to the walls with the included plastic hooks.
All in all a fantastic, light, compact device which makes viewing and gaming an amazing, big screen experience.

Great projector for the price! - Comes with HDMI
Really pleased with the product. It’s perfect for if you’re after a good quality, all round projector to watch TV/Films on. Text clarity isn’t amazing so I wouldn’t recommend for powerpoint presentations etc though its still doable. Colors are bright and though best picture quality is achieved in a completely dark room, it is still perfectly adequate with the curtains drawn in the day time. Built in speaker is a bonus along with the compact, portable size.

Although you can adjust the angle of the projector a little, I would suggest ensuring you can put the projector at the same level as the projection screen/wall to avoid making a complex arrangement of thick books to get the right height… if you can’t do this, its worth getting a tripod for ease… unless you have a stock of neglected text books!

Projection screen is good quality and comes with hooks that you can stick on the wall. Although, we’re happy with just the wall!

All in, there are loads of projectors on the market and so if you’re after something that does the job (e.g. to replace a TV), I would absolutely suggest going for it.

Great Projector for those on a smaller budget.
Was sceptical about the quality of the projector given some of the bad reviews and wasnt expecting much for the price however was pleasantly surprised. Bought to use for our “Outdoor Cinema” and have already used a number of times. Brightness is ok for a low budget projector and picture is great. Comes with large projector screen as well which is a great bonus. Best used in darker conditions but have used outside before sundown and is watchable. Cant wait to try inside for Halloween and Christmas projections. Highly recommended if you dont want to splash the cash on a more expensive projector.

Wonderful projector!
I loved this projector. My husband and I are quarantining and missed the cinema, so this was the perfect substitute (almost better, because we got to lie down and have bathroom breaks while watching). The picture and color quality is wonderful, and it was really easy to set up the projector. The challenge for us was that we’re in a small space, so it was hard to find a spot where we can put the projector stably and get a good image size and location. We ended up putting it on a bookshelf and it worked perfectly. We binge-watched season 1 of Stranger Things in one night and let me tell you, it was GLORIOUS! Definitely recommend!

The only drawback, and the reason I subtracted a star, is because the fan noise was actually quite loud in my opinion. I was really disappointed because other reviews said it wasn’t, but I found I had to have the volume higher than I normally would to drown out the fan noise. Then again, that could be because the projector was almost right over our heads due to limited space. In the end, we got around that by making the sound come out of the laptop and connecting the laptop to a Bluetooth speaker that we put even closer to our heads, haha. Oh, This projector is not wireless by the way, and doesn’t connect to anything wirelessly. Thought I’d mention that because for some reason I thought it was wireless when I bought it.

Superb, compact & Great Value for Money
Just wanted to review my purchase on the DRQ-HI04 Projector

Superb sums it all in one word.
A colleague of mine bought one a few months back and told me how great it was and was really pleased with it. After doing some reviews I decided to buy one also. Really surprised at how well it performs.
Small & Compact so ideal for mounting anywhere.
The quality of the image is very good, I was really surprised. The light this little beauty can project is amazing,
I watched several movies on it last night and was very pleased.

Sound quality & volume is good. the fact you can plug in external speakers is a benefit.
USB input & VGA, so really does have flexibility.
Value for money overall is very good. I think you would have to spend a great deal more money to get any better than this unit.

Photo’s included to give you an idea. My TV is a 52″, Projector is about 4Metres from the Wall.

We now have a Drive In Cinema !!
I have only had this Projector a week or so but find it a good purchase, we use it as a
N outside Cinema (weather Permitting)so we have our very own drive in. My only criticism is the focus adjuster it seems very flimsy and I am afraid I might break it, would be possible to have some sort of raised knob so it is easier to move.

The screen that came with it is very handy as I can hang it at the entrance of our summer house and project from the inside out on to it so the projector is inside and not exposed to the elements.

It works great with my Fire-stick.

Really happy so far with the Projector.

Great buy!
We bought this projector so we could start having our “date nights” in lockdown and get some time away from the kids even being stuck at home. We blacked out the gazebo in the garden, hung up the screen, set up the projector and plugged the fire stick straight into it and it was set up within minutes. We love it and was really impressed with the picture, the sound was a little tiny at first (play around with the settings and you can get it right) and the fan is really quiet too. A great buy and will definitely recommend!

Outdoor Cinema Becomes Reality!! :)
I’ve long wanted to purchase an outdoor projector for movie nights in the garden and since lockdown has ensured any holidays in the near future will be spent in Costa Del Backyard, now was a perfect time to take the plunge! Like many, I was concerned about how much one needed to spend in order to get a decent set up. After seeing the reviews and reviewer pictures, I took a chance on this model and I have to say I’m so happy I did. First off, if you are expecting a super high def, 4K picture then you need to be more realistic, but I assure you the picture quality is more than adequate and does get very near to HD specs. I honestly don’t think you will be disappointed. I’m one of those tv snobs who has to have a huge 4K Ultra HD TV in the house and I am perfectly happy with the projector for a fun outdoor cinema experience. Also, the menu options give you lots of room to tinker to your preferences. I was shocked at how powerful the speakers are! Those saying they need soundbars must live somewhere with no neighbours for miles because I would deafen the street if I whacked the volume up full pelt! TWO THINGS to take into account – you WILL need to have a stand for the screen. It is made from an opaque material and preferably needs to be clamped to a stand in order to have some tautness. I had a spare stand I use for green screens so I used that. If you are using the projector against a wall or ceiling then bob’s your uncle – it works great indoors too. Second thing, if using it for outdoor viewing you will need to wait for it to go quite dark. I hate having to wait so long since we have quite light nights now but that’s the only con really. So far I have used with chrome cast and dvd both work great. The projector itself is quite light & compact and the fan noise is very faint once the volume is up and it’s not an annoying whirring noise…it’s quite subtle. I use a tripod to mount the projector as it has a thread on the bottom which is handy. The remote doesn’t come with batteries so you will need 2 AAA ones. I have added a short video and some pics – I chose Benidorm so you could see how good the colour grading was i.e the blue water, colourful clothes etc. Hope this review helps 🙂

Fantastic
Very impressed, picture quality is great with or without the screen (onto a plain wall) sound is good…
I have it running off a fire stick (was already set up), which you just plug it in & select your input source to hdmi.
My boys can’t wait to play xbox games on it!!

Works Great !!
I purchased this item to see if the quality was any good, and i have been quite surprised at the quality of the picture, I have streamed a full 1080p File from Amazon and NetFlix without a problem, I have also watched live television, The sound is ok and the Picture is Great.
So for the price it is worth it, my only 2 down sides so far is the fan is a little noisy, And you have to wait until its getting quite dark before you can watch it outside.

Great projector. Would highly recommend.
This projector is an incredible piece of kit! I was not sure what to expect, as this is my first projector, but WOW! When I opened the box, it was all so neatly packed. Contents: Projector, remote control, white fabric screen with eyelets and even sticky hooks, HDMI cable, AV cable (I have yet to use), instruction manual. So easy to use. From the moment I opened it, I plugged in a USB stick and played the content immediately. The picture was jaw dropping, very bright (obviously in dark settings) sharp, and the colours beautiful. I was, and still am, blown away by this device. The remote control is also very well made and responsive. Would highly recommend.

Compact, easy to set up and use, excellent quality all round
as an occasional projector user only, I needed something easy to use and set up for our Church Worship Group to experience dvd download playback of Alpha Course materials. This is ideal, inexpensive portable ,well made and functional yet attractive, Does the job and deserves 5 stars

Quality bargai
I’ve toyed with getting a projector for a long time and during black Friday found this for 50. Literally a day later it jumped to 65.

We use it in the loft on the sloping roof (painted white) and even if close approx. 3-4m picture reaches to around 120″ and is great quality.

I’ve just purchased a Chromecast to go alongside it and found out it has inbuilt speakers!!! Tied in with a 15 travel case and we’ve now got a great little solution for holidays.

It does come with a white screen for hanging, but I can’t be bothered with it. That said if we go camping maybe we’ll use it.

Anyway if you’re not a master of the AV world this will do you just fine.

Great Teaching Aid
This was purchased for to “beam in” International Teachers into our classroom. It was straight forward to set-up albeit with a tech savvy colleague! We found that the picture quality was great although blinds had to be drawn to get sufficient picture clarity – so that’s the reason for the slight mark down on Brightness. The picture quality is far more impressive in a darkened room but this is not practical for the students note taking. To have sufficient sound clarity for a classroom we linked the sound output to a speaker system, which wasn’t a problem.

Overall a very useful addition to our teaching tools and is an effective way to bring teachers from far away into our classroom.

Great fu
I love it! Its not exactly HD but I’m happy with the quality of the picture especially for the price. I could happily watch TV on it. Have used it to project onto the ceiling to watch TV in bed which was great, and it was bought for projecting pictures to go along with music in a care home concert. The screen is very flimsy and see through, but it could be useful if you have a patterned wall to project on. I’m not likely to use the screen. It is noisy, but for what I want it for its fine and we didn’t notice it while watching TV on it. It’s easy to plug in another speaker to it to improve the sound quality too.

Great device. Superb value.
For the price, this is an amazing device. There’s nothing really wrong with it. However I know one can get much more expensive projectors that are brighter and higher resolution. For the purpose of watching films and TV, however, though there’s nothing to write home about, there’s nothing to complain about either and one can get absorbed in the material without getting distracted by quality issues. I’d recommend this projector if keeping costs down is your priority.

The screen is usable, though I attached spars horizontally to the top and bottom edges so I could suspend it from the ceiling. Unless you stretch it a bit it gets a bit crinkled as it’s made from very light material. One can watch the screen from behind and there’s a nifty option on the projector to give a mirror image, so, if you have the space, you can watch it without tripping over the projector or getting in the way of the beam

One year on and its still a gem!
I made the decision to buy a projector since we do not have a TV and sometimes want to watch movies on a bigger screen. After reading some reviews I decided to buy this projector which has thrown out our need to buy a big screen at all. It projects at such great quality – I saw the good reviews and bought it and after a year of use I can truly say it DOES NOT let you down! The sound quality is great too and the whole thing is super easy to set up for someone who isn’t tech savvy like me! Its great when friends come round and last xmas we projected our travels from our honeymoon to our families and they loved the whole thing. It really sets the mood for a cosy night in! Great buy.

Fantastic image quality for the price
This is a really good projector for the price and the picture quality is a lot better than I thought. I would not that there is not horizontal keystone but that is not an issue for the price. Comes with a screen and hooks as well. Connects to xbox, Ps4 and probably pc via HMDI or you can get an HMDI to lightening cable to connect toy your phone. Sound quality is fine for the price but if you’re using it every day a soundbar is a nice edition.

Brilliant budget-price projecto
Had originally been looking at getting a projector in the 400+/- range, but decided to pick up a cheap one first, mainly to see if I’d make use of it first before splashing out.

In short, it’s brilliant. Really easy to set up – take it out the box, plug it in, point it at the wall, turn lens until focused, done.

Has a built in media player so runs films easily from a microsd card. No built in WiFi or streaming apps, but plugged a NowTV stick into the hdmi and solved that problem.

Fan is audible, but not so much that it drowns out thehatever you’re watching, after a few minutes the fan sound was just background white noise that we got used to and stopped noticing. Sound from the speaker is ok, not anything wonderful but more than acceptable for what it is.

Display is bright and fairly clear, but trying to get a perfect focus is impossible unless the projector is perfectly straight on to the screen/wall. If, like ours, it’s sitting lower than the screen and projecting at a slight upwards angle, you can either focus the top half, middle, or bottom half. We’ve got ours to a slightly all-over gentle fuzz that’s fine for general viewing and only noticeable on any writing. Pretty sure if you use this on a higher shelf or a tripod this can be overcome more.

Overall though, great unit for the price, and to be honest, I can see us now just sticking with this as it’s ticked all the boxes I’d have wanted ticked by the 400 ones I’d looked at.

Simple and user friendly
The projector arrived the next day. It was easy to set up. Really liked the white screen with it and the clips to hold it on to the wall. Fitted straight to the bedroom wall. I had a camera tripod and I easily fixed it to the projector. The lens rotator was a bit stiff. But it moved with a little force. Was careful not to break it. I connected my Google Chromecast and the projector was up and running in seconds. I had to adjust the colours and manually focus to get the best picture quality. However, once I got the right balance, it was nice to watch on such a large screen. My family absolutely loved it. Other positives were the three year warranty, although I took two years accidental break down for a tenner. It’s such a simple device, yet if it works over two years , I would have got every penny’s worth multiple times.

Happy with the purchase.

Easy for a novice to use
This was a first venture into a home cinema and I didn’t want to spend too much. I browsed lots of different projectors of various prices and managed to confuse myself really well. So I checked the product reviews and picked this projector because a) it was a budget price and b) there were loads of positive reviews. I wasn’t expecting too much for the price, but what a surprise! This unit seems robust, and arrived well packaged and on promised delivery date. For a novice tekkie like me it is ideal. You literally plug in and it plays. What’s not to like? The factory settings are fine for my room, although there are plenty of controls if you want to adjust them. Yes there is a fan, but I didn’t notice it after a short time. One minor point though, the manual has obviously been translated from another language, and the text is a bit clunky, but as the projector played straightaway, the manual isn’t too important. All in all a happy customer.

Surprisingly bright picture.
Superb picture, bright images, and good colours, speaker sound so much better than laptop speakers. I connect projector to laptop with HDMI to HDMI cable (included) to play DVDs. You also get screen, and for this price win win. Even if you pay more for other projectors you probably won’t find better. Highly recommend.

Small but packs a punch!!
This compact projector, is not to be underestimated. It arrived on Saturday evening and I couldn’t contain my excitement. This newest addition to our extensive gadget collection pile, was originally supposed to be a Christmas present for our in laws, well that’s not going to happen now lol!! Straight out the box it was literally plug and play, it’s an all round multi media projector

The viewing quality is great and can be determined by several factors including ambient lighting, projection distance and input source. I found that ideally dark conditions and a projection size of 100 to 120 inches, hit the bullseye. Movies look wonderful( nearly overdosed on a box set) can’t comment on gaming as yet as I’ve not let my sons loose on it.

Let’s face it there’s nothing like watching or playing through a projector , after all it’s twice the size of my TV. Colors appear bright, vibrant and saturated while blacks aren’t quite as deep as a TV, but still acceptable.

If you want to use this for business presentations, the low native resolution isn’t great as viewing text through it isn’t that great.

I found that the volume doesn’t get very loud enough for my style and the quality is decent but not that impressive. Never fear, problem solved you’re given the option to easily upgrade the sound by plugging in external speakers. I plugged in an external speaker and problem solved.

Best Customer Service
The first product came in defective and I was really a bit disappointed. The CS from Amazon that I spoke with the first time wasn’t really sure what to do, then I was told by another rep to contact the seller. The CS from the seller is AMAZING! They did an amazing job making things easier for me.

The product? It is as stated on the description, I love watching movies but I am not so fond of TV so I got this instesad. We usually have movie nights at home and having this projector just makes it more fun. You have an option to adjust the screen depending on your preference or you can choose from one of the presets. The only thing I noticed is the screen looks a bit slanted to one side but we can always to something about it as it does not affect use in a major way hence the 4 star. Overall, I would recomment as it is a good deal considering it’s price.

Great for the price! but what do I do about the dust?
UPDATE 5/2/20 AT BOTTOM (1 star lost)
When I bought this item I was concerned by the low price versus the potential quality of the goods and my first impressions are that this item has a reasonable balance between price and quality. The projector itself is easy to unpack and hook up to your source (PS3/4, Sky etc.) as long as they have outputs of either HDMI or RGB. It will also take a USB input and outputs via two 3.5mm jack plug sockets to either headphones or amp/speakers. The projector is bright enough for vurtually any needs although not good enough to use in bright daylight but which projector can beat that. The picture quality I go into a bit later and if you are a 4k/HD purist then you will see some fringing and drop off at the very edges of the image but for family viewing it is more than adequate. The screen supplied is a very stretchy semi opaque (nylon?) material which is virtually impossible to hang (as suggested) in a nice rectangular fashion. when you use the border grommets to hang it the fabric simply curves between each attachment due to its natural elasticity however if you actually stretch it until it is taut then the useable area of the screen is more than adequate to project an image of 7′ by 3′ 9″ or 213cm by 114cm. To put it another way, if you have a 50″ TV then this screen is 4 times the viewing area. The screen is semi opaque to allow for rear projection which the projector is designed to accomodate. This feature may be useful but if you project from the front and your screen is not flat on a wall anyone sitting off centre will see a “ghost” image as the projection bounce back off the wall behind. This of course can be overcome by dropping a sheet directly behind the screen so that it lies flush with the screen. So now onto the projector itself. Its casing is made of plastic and the whole unit is very light. It has a small adjustable front foot for raising the nose height of the projector and comes with a remote (batteries not included) for using it. I will write a follow up after a few months of usage but first impressions are; The focus adjustment handle which basically screws the lens in and out for focus is too jerky for fine focus use but the lens itself can be turned to far better effect. There is also an adjustment hadle for adjusting the tilt of the actual picture which works ok. The front adjustable foot is pretty poor and makes the projector a bit wobbly but there is a tripod mount screw in the base that I use with a cheap tripod and it’s perfect for adjusting up/down, right & left. I think the lens itself is made of plastic but this does not seem to have any significant effect on overall picture quality which is good and can be fine tuned via the projector menu. You will need to get into these adjustments as I found the factory defaults over bright and too shallow on the colour side but with a bit of playing you can get a nicely sharp HD image showing good colour. The good thing about these settings is they are kept as your user settings and only have to be done once. If you need to use the 3.5mm sockets on the side make sure that you use a very neat jack plug as I found the casing of the projector stops my 3.5mm jack from going fully in resulting in no sound via the headphones. I may need to cut away the shroud on my jack plug in order to use it. The projector only uses 50w when running as it’s light is LED (less heat too) and the fan, whilst you can hear it, is very quiet and non intrusive. I read some reviews saying the the built in speaker was very good but I have to disagree. It’s small and a bit tinny sounding but fine if you simply need to watch the news on your office, hotel room, living room wall however It’s totally inadequate if the family wants to sit down and watch the latest blockbuster. If that’s your need then I would suggest that you require your source to go to either a soundbar or surround sound system independant of the projector and then you will fully enjoy this product. I have not tried to use the AV 3.5mm socket put take the sound feed from the projector but as this would only be stereo i’ll probably not use that option. I took out the 2 year warranty (extra) on this and I will update this review once I’ve had a few months of use. In the meantime I’m watching HD movies in my living room that are seven feet wide – not bad for less than 70.
UPDATE – Ok so I’ve been using this now for a number of months and it still works fine. Fan has not become noisier, Internal speaker still works (useless for most viewing needs however) and overall I’m quite pleased with the machine….however. I use compressed air to regularly blow the dust out of the projector but there is a visible accumulation of dust particles on the right hand side of the screen that persists. This causes a darkening on that side but it is still useable for movies etc. You can open up the unit and it’s relatively easy to clean the mirror, magnifier and lens (both ends) but this has not cured the problem. I’m beginning to think that this dust is baked on to the LED source or perhaps a primary lens that you cannot clean. If it gets worse then it will become a significant issue for quality of viewing and despite many internet searches I cannot find any references to this issue.
