I brought this for my boyfriends birthday along with a screen. Little did I realise that the screen is a full size outdoor one and wayy to big for our small house. No worries, the projector projects straight onto your living room wall, it looks amazing. The sound is ok, linked up to our Bose speakers easily, and the wifi link to phones works well too. Even when we turned the kitchen light on the picture quality didn’t drop too much as it was no longer in the dark, you could still see it well. Would really recommend if you’re looking for one in this price range.
I bought this projector as a birthday gift for my husband, to elevate our movie night dates. I am glad to say that I am not disappointed. It has a pretty good HD picture quality, especially in the darkroom. We usually watch movies in the evening so it has been perfect for us.
—This projector also has a pretty good sound and we didn’t fount that we need an extra speaker, however, you could probably connect one.
—One thing we found is that it doesn’t stream things like Netflix and youtube from your phone, apparently due to copyright rights. But it wasn’t a problem for us, as this projector came with all the cables for you to attach it to your laptop and it works perfectly like that.
—We got it the next day through amazon prime delivery with no issues at all
I recommend it to all my friends as it has been great for us and now we have a movie theatre at home for a very small price.
The projector is amazing and works just as described. Screen mirror works from my iPhone 13 with the YouTube all and it also works great. The instructions guide is easy to follow and you can set up with Wi-Fi or through your phone. You can also plug in your laptop to play films and works fantastic and best with the Amazon fire stick so you can watch Netflix, Disney, Amazon etc. Very easy to transport around the house and set up in different areas or even take round to a friends house or set up outside next to the Jacuzzi with playstation5 and COD warzone. As described screen mirror from iPhone with Netflix, Disney or Amazon doesn’t work, everything else like YouTube and websites work through your phone screen mirror but because of licensing on them apps can’t be played through your iPhone screen mirror but easily solved with laptop or fire stick or more.
As the title says this is an amazing projector for an amazing price. Even though at the time of writing this review it’s priced lower than what I payed for it, I actually don’t mind in the slightest and have already recommended it to family and will definitely be purchasing another one in the future.
It’s a straight forward set up. Projector itself is quite compact. Not too heavy at all. Picture quality is surprisingly good for how big it can project on to a wall/screen (first projector so wasn’t sure what to expect). It works best in a dark or low lit room. The sound quality I would say is just at the right level. Not too quiet that we can’t hear it and not too loud it wakes our daughter up. The fan isn’t too loud where it overpowers the sound quality. All in all I am very pleased with our first projector and my wife is even happier with it. One of the best presents she’s had was mentioned in conversation! Plenty of good husband points earned here!
When we first saw the picture my very fussy autistic husband was worried it was pixilated and I felt a little crestfallen but within a few minutes once the film gets going we didn’t notice that any more. Honestly this is fantastic for the price. It’s best for square format images than wide-screen, OK in light room, great in dim or dark. Sound OK and of course you can use a blue tooth speaker. Might be even better on a smaller screen. Ours is about 5 feet wide. The remote needs to be pretty directly pointed at the projector. We have been offered a voucher for a five star review but we’d give it five stars anyway (taking the price into account)
Easy to set up. Nothing complicated about it. We had no Wi-Fi available to use but it simply connected to our phone hot spot. We used our Roku stick to connect to Prime and Netflix. We bought a projector screen to use but the kids loved watching off the ceiling in bed.
Perfect family Christmas present. My husband will also be using it to watch football from from the lazy spa and the kids want to take it camping.
Exceeded expectations. The picture works in light and dark equally well. Sound is clear and reasonably loud for such a small device . I’ve hooked it up to a soundbar to bring it to life. Extremely easy to set up . We were up and running within 15 mins connected to an Amazon Fire stick. Put on an old HORROR movie to check the quality and was pleasantly surprised. Considering how grainy the original film was it came up remarkably well. Will tweak settings a bit more as I’d like crisper , sharper colours but overall really happy with this budget projector. Time will tell how well it holds out as we plan on using it regularly.
Well unfortunately I’ve had to update my review as I need to return the item . The light bulb keeps dimming by itself , then the fan gets noisier and intermittently not recognises the peripherals connected to it. Shame as it did look promising
Easy to set up and image is really good. Doesn’t need to be completely dark but clearer when it is. Didn’t work well with my iPhone- apps like Netflix and Amazon prime didn’t work and YouTube part time only so after seeing other reviews I bought a fire stick and now it works perfectly. Had it for about a week and using it a few hours each day and so far so good. Hope it keeps working like this. Sound is ok most the time but when a few people would probably need speakers which i’m probably going to order soon. Overall very happy and it’s well worth the money.
You can’t expect miracles for a cheap projector, and that’s exactly what you get. The lumen rating is suitable for an indoor or outdoor dim or darkened room; and the picture quality is reasonable. Sound is tinny and very poor if using the inbuilt speakers, and you really wouldn’t be able to hear well if there were other noise around or if you weren’t sitting right next to the projector. Reasonable for the price but don’t expect too much when professional projectors are several hundred more.
For the price this is really really good (maybe not up there with 400+ projectors, but well worth 70 odd)
We used this to watch the Euro Finals in our garden.
It needed cover/shade before about 8pm.
When using outside, its a bit dim (its okay, but takes a few minutes for your eyes to adjust), but once the sun starts going down its perfectly fine, its quite bright then. Colours are good.
It looks good even with the dodgy set-up in our photos.
We tried it inside and it works perfectly, just needs to be projected onto a clean white space, with no direct sunlight on the space.
Works really nicely in the dark (first photo doesn’t do it justice, due to my phones camera), cant fault it.
The remote is handy, but its a bit clunky, i.e. you have to click twice sometimes, or click harder.
Image quality with blurred edges at a distance of 2.5 meters.
I didn’t follow reading a video file on the USB stick. I changed the formatting of the USB stick from NTFS to FAT32. Both formatting he did not recognize.
I found that the noise of the cooler bothers a lot when the silent part of the movie.
I put a Google Chromecast to be able to watch YouTube and Netflix.
Without Google Chromecast, I can connect to the projector via WiFi but I realized that the connection is not stable.
Summarizing his price, image quality and performance, delivers what it promises.
If you want more brightness, image quality and less noise, I recommend buying one that costs more.
This was a very good help for proportioning for my wall mural
First of all, im working in a very small space, so I was worried about the size of my room and placement of the projector, as well as the size of my wall that I’m working on. The distance between the wall and the projector was about 12 feet, and the projector could cover that space with a high quality image up to 115″ in length, possibly larger (left to right).
The overall quality was good, but the magnification and resolution seemed a little limited, but was fine. I’d recommend tinkering around with the settings.
The remote requires 2 AAA batteries, and doesn’t come prepackaged with the product. The design is simple and is very minimalistic, easy to use, but you will need to use it to access the projectors functions.
Personally, I used a HDMI cable connected to a laptop to put an image onto the wall’s surface, as the phone connection aspect of the product didn’t seem to work at all, and the manual was a quite vague on how to properly use this function.
Overall, this projector was great. It’s the first one that I’ve purchased, and I can imagine myself using it more often with time, and my own love of art. I hope you’ve found my review helpful, and I’ll quickly add a coloured version of my mural so far (W. I. P)
This is a fantastic HD projector! It’s really easy to set up, you can connect a 2TB Samsung USB drive to it so you can access all of your backed up films, etc and the brightness is great (it’s pretty good even without the curtains drawn during the day). The only thing I didn’t like was the lack of Brightness and Contrast control in the user settings (which I have actually now found on the menu) and the power cable is quite short so you need an extension lead if your wall socket is not close by + if you don’t have to place the projector on a stand like I do. Apart from that, it’s amazingly good value for money.
UPDATE: It has Brightness and Contrast adjustments in the Picture menu! This projector is great!
Super happy with this projector. Yes, it’s not the same quality as a projector 5-6x the price but honestly, it’s really enough. Only thing I didn’t like was the sound. I am now connecting an external speaker to get more depth when watching movies.
Using this projector with a fire stick and can now watch all streaming platforms.
Also a big plus, this one is really not loud at all.
Although it’s a relatively slimline design, it has a plethora of useful ports and can also wirelessly connect to my iOS devices such as my iPad and iPhone. You can also connect directly via the phones lightning to USB cable for a more stable connection.
Plug a Firestick or similar into it to enjoy the best possible experience, works brilliantly to watch movies on Prime Video and Netflix. Overall, this is a very impressive piece of kit for a reasonable price.
I was considering buying myself a projector to roof mount, as I recently bought a new PC, and wanted to use my old one as a media hub of sorts.
As it stands, I actually have this little fella sitting next to me, on my nightstand, and I use it to project movies and YouTube onto the wall on the opposite side of the room.
Pros:
* Very easy to set up and understand. Didn’t have to touch the manual even once.
* It’s incredibly bright. Although I do have black-out curtains, but even with those open and the lights on – I can still easily make out what’s happening on the screen. My primary concern was that these cheaper projectors tend to be dim. This is not the case with the Elephas 2020.
* It’s got a bit of bulk to it, which is nice, as more cheaply-produced devices tend to be incredibly light.
* The remote works from basically any angle. I often use it from outside of my bedroom and it handles that just fine.
Cons:
* Picture quality is 1280×720, upscaled to 1920×1080. If those numbers don’t mean anything to you – 720p (1280×720 pixels) is “HD” and 1080 (1920×1080 pixels) is Full HD. Reading regular text on the projection is… headache inducing. If you watch subtitled films, it might be an idea to see if you can change the scale of the font, as anything too small will just become blurry.
* Projected image blurs at the top/bottom if you use the angling feature to align the image so that it’s “straight” on whatever surface you’re projecting to.
* Audio quality is just… not. You can definitely understand words being played through the little speaker, but don’t expect any level of bass whatsoever. It can’t get too loud without clipping.
All in all it’s a great projector for the price point. I may be inclined to update my review if and when I mount it to the ceiling.
Ordered this a few weeks ago, and been using it almost daily since. I actually purchased this for a room in the house, which I didn’t want to put a TV on the wall, and this works great. I use my amazon firestick, directly connected with HDMI, and once I’d figured out I needed to pair my soundbar, to the Amazon stick, it was great.
The unit has it’s own built in sound, but I wanted some extra decibels, to have connected a soundbar, and it’s excellent. For a compact unit, the picture quality is great, I’ll be planning on using it outside on a larger screen next.
Very happy with the product, easy to use, remote control is simple and user friendly, very responsive, and the item arrived very quickly too.
It’s good value for the price but please note these reviews may be influenced by then swapping a positive review for a discount, a screen or a stand. They ask you to add more stars if you want the gift, so the reviews here might be bias by that.
The Wireless connection thing seems pointless to me as I imagined I’d be able to connect my phone wirelessly and it would play videos etc – that is not the case. I’m happy with using it with Google Chromecast I’m able to watch Prime, Disney, YouTube etc. The resolution of the image on wall is decent too, much bigger than I thought. The fan is not silent but for a budget not bad either. The speaker is fine but takes some getting used to hearing it from the projector rather than at the projected image
For such a low budget, this projector does what it says on the tin. It won’t win any design awards but is a perfectly neat little unit.
I don’t know how they measured their LUX value but being a photographer I understand light measurement and 6000 Lux it is not. Having said that in a dimly lit room for films/video and gamers who are happy in the dark’ it is spot on!
The manual zoom and keystone knobs are a little clunky but I am installing mine so it’s a one off event.
I don’t use a smart phone so can’t comment on the wireless connection to Android or Apple devices. However when connected wirelessly to Win10 it struggles but to be fair my HP has only one wireless card which is streaming the internet, connecting via Bluetooth to my sound and then trying to stream to the projector – probably too much to handle. However when connected by the supplied HDMi lead everything is good and videos are crisp and clear,
They are correct when they say, not for presentations it can’t seem to render fonts unless very large. Not sure what technology they are using.
Having pointed out these foibles I am still very happy with the unit and so long as you understand it’s limitations, it’s great value for the money.
Got this as a replacement for another one I bought that did not do what it was supposed to.
This one is a reasonable price, easy to set up, and does what it says it will.
The remote that came with it is a welcome addition and makes controling it much easier than trying to remember where the buttons are in the dark.
It works well with my laptop, and my tablet can mirror cast to it, as well.
My micro sd card also fits nicely and works well.
The power cable is a reasonable length and long enough for whete I need the projector. But as t is a standard type of wire, a longer one could easily be sorted.
The size of the screen is a good size at a short distance. I use it in my summer house, and with about 4-5 foot from projector to screen, it is a good size (about 45″).
The sound quality of the machine is also good. Loud enough that you don’t hear the fans over the movie, but not too loud as to be tinny or distorted.
It is a light machine, as well, easy to adjust focus and tilt, and has multiple input ports.
The only downsides are that it doesn’t have a battery so needs to be plugged in.
And you need a firestick or equivilent to use prime with it due to copyright stuffs.
Overall, however, it is a good little machine and works really well.
I bought this projector and got a screen too. I have tried it a few times now.
It was fairly easy to connect to with an Android phone, hoping that you have the screen view app still.
Laptops are easy to connect with – just a HDMI cable.
The sound isn’t great, so I bought a soundbar and connected it via the 3.5mm jack, and that worked with ease.
It is very clear in the centre of the image. However, I’d say the outer third is incredibly blurry. However, what do you expect for your money?? You get to be able to see everything in the middle and make out a picture on the edges.
I will be using it as a garden projector so that I can watch things out at night, or for when I travel and want a larger screen.
Would recommend 🙂
Totally justifies its price, fair and affordable for anyone looking to buy an inexpensive projector for those impromptu movie nights with friends or family.
Cons-
The audio on the projector is as a terrible as an fm radio, but it gets way better upon connecting with Bluetooth to an external speaker. Colors like blue, purple, pink, gold, red are a bit misrepresented and diluted.
The UI is fairly old and slow. I haven’t yet checked the picture and sound quality via wifi projection, screen mirroring or screen cast.
The video above is in 1080p and being played via a HDMI connection to a laptop. So you can imagine how a wireless connection would be like.
To sum it up, I would say if you want to buy a decent projector which you don’t mind throwing away after an year of binge abuse. Then, this elephas wifi projector is a great choice.
If you are looking for a better User interface, better picture quality ( 720p +), higher lumens of projection, better inbuilt sound drivers, go for the projectors above the 200Pound price range.
The video shows the projector in comparison with a lenovo LCD laptop of 13″, for your reference.
PS: I also got a freebie in the box for purchasing this projector via Amazon.
For Long I was planning to buy and try a projector. Brand, reviews and the cost were the major attraction for me to order this. I got it delivered on the same as promised in a proper manner. Item was same as described. Will describe the positives first: projector is compact, all major modes of connectivity, I connected through HDMI cable (Came with the pack) with my MacBook, for someone with reasonable exposure with computers it was a cake walk to make it running, (User manual is good anyway). I projected into my living room wall which is painted in light yellow, you can seen the picture quality with the room light and with out of it and compare it with my 43 Inch smart TV kept below for comparison. After key stone adjustments and some fiddling with the settings I got good quality picture for both Movie and Stills. Easy/ minimal remote control buttons and the settings are not complicated.
product is weightless and you can place it easily, you can hear the fan sound, but it depends on individual sensitivity (In a garden/ open area it will surely be negligible).
You can connect USB, HDMI, AV mode and tv sticks, I am yet to try connecting smart phones.
Negatives: Inbuilt audio output is not perfect, you may need additional speaker if you use it outdoor. Some heat is felt after running for some time but yet to see it on long term. No bluetooth connection.
Final verdict: For the cost (Got 10% off in the prize while checkout) I am completely satisfied with this product.
Since I have purchased this projector, we love our weekend family movie nights!
The projector is lightweight and it came in well packaged and was delivered safely in line with Covid 19 restrictions.
Its brightness is perfect and the lens has a lid which prevents it from damaging and being covered in dust. My girls love the movie like nights and we have enjoyed watching so many films together that I could play thanks to HDMI cable that also came in the set.
This Elephas is a great value for money and definitely worth buying!
I bought this Projector for watching movies and sports in the bedroom
Really easy to set up and very bright, it projects very sharp pictures roughly 50″ inch. I projected on a clear white matt finish wall and it looked really good.
I have watched movies and sports content for more than 100 +hrs no issues so far
+ Very sharp and clear picture
+Bright even with the lights on
+ very compact
+ easy to setup
I found this projector as a very good buy. I recommend curtains and a dark room, however, the picture quality and brightness is very good none the less, it’s fairly hard to see in bright sunlight. Making the projector focus is very easy with the knob on top that twists. The sound is not the best as the speakers aren’t very loud and it does make a buzzing sound but you get use to it and you end up not realising it is there. When the room is pitch black the picture quality is amazing. The colours aren’t as vibrant as a laptop screen but for the price you’re paying this is well worth it. The video attached is the projector on the screen you can additionally buy with some sunlight in the room as I don’t have curtains. As you can see the picture quality and brightness is still very good.
I’m not usually one to leave reviews but feel I had to on this occasion because this projector is fantastic!
First off, it was delivered the next day and it was so well packaged. It came with the projector, HDMI cable, power cable, remote control, adjustable foot, 3 in 1 video cable, lens cover and a very helpful and well written manual. It also came with a small pack with a small lens cloth and cotton swabs to keep the lens and projector clean which I thought was a nice touch.
The quality of the projector is very, very good and it’s very easy to use and set up. The picture is very bright and clear. You can run the audio through the projector and that is also of a good quality!
Overall I am very, very pleased with this projector! I had purchased it for my boyfriend for his birthday and after he had raved about it, I just had to buy myself one! It will be great for socially distanced movie nights in the garden this summer!
Intended for use in the garden but as the weather has been terrible recently it is setup in the living room. There is a screw hole in the bottom with a little stand which is the same size as a photography tripod screw, so I have mounted it to my tripod which has been great!
Screen sharing is a bit fiddly and one of our iPads refuses to connect. However, it is great when connected to the DVD or laptop via HDMI.
Only complaint is that the speakers are a bit rubbish, however, there are connections to allow an external speaker to be connected so we will soon get that sorted !! Roll on the nice weather so I can watch crappy TV from the hot tub.
Colour Black
My first ever projector purchase so nothing to compare it to and purchased this product apprehensively. I’m pleasantly surprised. Item arrived next day and is well packaged and in excellent condition. Everything is in the box and it only took a few minutes to get it out and set up. Tested on a wall first to see that it was functioning ok. I have had a screen delivered also and will put this up at the weekend. Very good quality image particularly for the price. Connection possibilities are good although at the moment I have only used iPhone mirroring. Remote works well and the set up is very easy. Focus, Zoom and other adjustments are also easy. Sound quality is very good. I want be using the surround sound option, but at least s it’s there.
I initially thought the fan was noisy but I soon got used to it and didn’t notice after a short while.
Definitely recommend this product. Yes, one day I might pay a lot more money for a projector but at this moment in time I am very pleased.
On delivery found that no input devices would register. Contacted customer service numerous times and each email responded to within 24 hours. Vendor tried various suggestions but in the end I had to return it.
The vendor’s customer service assistant, Rachel, immediately sent a replacement projector without having to receive the faulty item first.
Would be very happy to use this company again, and many other vendors could learn a thing or two about service levels.
Reading reviews and not wanting to spend an awful lot on a projector I bought this one as it was on offer at a reasonable price. As long as you have some sort of streaming stick ( Amazon firestick , google chromecast etc) then you’ll fine to watch Netflix and other streaming networks, if you try to stream off your phone with airplay for example , most things like YouTube and Netflix will not work. Another important thing based on reading reviews is to adjust the audio settings on the stick you use in order to play audio otherwise it will not work, just scroll through the settings on the stock you use and you’ll be fine. I have a fire stick plugged in the HDMI and amended the audio on the fire stick and never looked back! I now watch more on the projector than the TV! Still need to plug the Xbox in when I get a chance but still very good quality for watching! My slight issue is there is noise from the projector but it’s hardly noticeable when you’re watching things, I guess projectors will have some noise from the fan but for the value it’s a very minor thing and I wouldn’t let it put you off. Well worth buying for the price!
Its my first purchased to bought a projector. My daughter wants to buy a projector for her Artwork.
I was searching a good projector from few days. Their were many good deals. But i bought this projector because of its good reviews and rating and its on my expectation. Easy to use. And my daughter is happy too… not only for her artwork she is is enjoying her games and youtube.
I wish their is a screen included with this projector. Im happy with my first projector purchased.
Purchased this product a little apprehensively, as I always look at the bad reviews first!! But I have to be honest that I was pleasantly surprised. Lockdown blues finally getting to me and my family and going to the cinema was always a nice treat so purchasing this was a little “treat at home”. It arrived vey quickly, well packaged and in excellent condition. Open up to find everything I needed to set up, which only took a few minutes. Initially tested on painted wall to see that it was functioning properly to find everything good. I had ordered a screen as I don’t have any white walls But this wasn’t coming for 2 more days, so a white sheet was used. When the screen arrived I had by then set it on an old adjustable speaker stand (used for a surround sound speaker system) Now with a good quality screen we were up and running.
GOOD POINTS…….very good quality image, we’re not talking superb, but for the price it is excellent. Connections are very good, I plugged in a NOWTV stick in the HDMI socket which has everything we need. Also a CHROMECAST stick was used which also worked well. Mirroring seems to work really well. Haven’t as yet used the AV socket or the PC socket so can’t comment on them. Remote works really well and the set up is really easy. Focus, Zoom and other adjustments are vey easy. Sound quality is adequate and it does have a SURROUND SOUND setting which improves the quality.
BAD PIONTS….. some people have commented on the fan which is a little loud but I have to say that after a while you don’t really notice it. To compensate for the fan and the sound quality, if you plugin a separate speaker or other audio device it makes the quality much better and the fan nearly non existence
Overall I would defiantly recommend this product for the price you are paying, good build quality, good visually quality, easy to set up and with some adjusting of sound this makes for a really good “cinema night”
UPDATE…….. still going well, BUT…….. inside can get a bit dusty/dirty, it does come with extra long cotton tip buds and a cloth to clean, but you need to get inside, contacted seller who suggested taking the sticky label off the bottom to reveal a small cover, removed cover which now makes the lenses accessible, use the cotton buds and clean, it can be a bit fiddly but with persistence they do clean up. But looks like a reoccurring problem.
Really clear picture! The photos I’ve seen and taken myself doesn’t do any justice. It’s really bright and clear on our cream painted wall. Sleek looking projector. Fan is a little noisy as expected but can be avoided with a Bluetooth speaker connected to the laptop.
Had trouble connecting via wifi on the phone and laptop because they were feeding off real WiFi. The phone seemed confused by this and wasn’t playing content on the phone as it acts more like a Bluetooth connection and less like a real WiFi that gives you internet. This is a minor issue as the HDMI connections works just fine when connected to the laptop.
Pros:
– Clear picture
– Brightness is good, even in the day with the curtains drawn
– Interface is user friendly, really simple to use
Cons:
– Fan is a little loud / need speaker
– Instructions to clean lens isn’t clear
– Short power lead
Bought this for my daughter for Christmas and we are both very impressed with the output picture.
Resolution is not all that high but its bright enough on a light grey wall to be seen clearly even in the day light.
If you take a little time to adjust the angle and the focus the image is sharp and the wireless connection to the phone or iPad works well. she prefers the cable option so she can stay connected to the home wifi and play games that fill her bedroom wall!
Cheap projectors are an absolute minefield lots of things that you need to consider.
this projector doesn’t have Wi-Fi built-in as suggested.
Btw you need to know that you cannot mirror sky Netflix or Amazon prime from your phone that does not work they know you are mirroring to a projector the way I did it was I plugged in my Amazon fire TV box because on that I can use Amazon Netflix BBC iPlayer YouTube etc I did that using HDMI input HDMI cable is provided.
the cooling fan is very loud and is on all the time you do get used to it but it is and this picture of the sleeping child is not accurate!!!
sound quality is good make sure that you do not have surround sound turned on on your viewing app otherwise it will not come through the projector you need to have stereo sound only.
I bought the projector to watch movies at home. As I used to buy high-end video projectors with 7,000 lumens (4000 and more) some years ago for professional events, I didn’t expect much and doubted the 5,500 lumen capacity. So when I installed it, I was pleasently surprised. The brightness is excellent, see the photos. Even in normal daylight the picture quality is very good. I tried it in full daylight, projecting onto a wall next to a window !!. Just projected on a white wall, didn’t even put up a screen. So an excellent choice for home video.
The build quality is pretty good, everything has a solid feel. Many source input options, remote is simple but functional. Easy keystone and focus adjustment directly on the projector. In the settings you can adjust the zoom to adapt to the room size, that is very useful. Also the color settings can be adjusted. Built-in speaker is sufficient for a normal room.
Best result is when the projection line is horizontal to the screen. Don’t try to project upwards or downwards as the picture quality would suffer. So, just install it high enough or use a tripod, etc. to get it to the right height.
Of course when projecting high quality photos they look grainy, same for any text. But for that price you can’t really expect more.
In summary, a perfect little projector for home cinema. High brightness, so no worries about ambient light and probably will do a great job even outdoors in a shaded place.
For the 50 price it’s a decent projector to use every now and again or for a kid’s room ect, our screen just un hooks from the roof as and when and we just place the projector on a stand with the wires as neat as possible.
This is a 720p native projector so don’t expect to have the same quality as a 1080p for this kind of price!! Some lower star reviews are very naive in what they have actually purchased and I think some 1 stars don’t know how to use the focus roller.
I have a vankyo v630 performance 1080p native and the elphas is honestly half as good, as I paid half as much for it then it makes sense.
*If you want a gaming projector use 1080p native projectors not this one.
*80 inches is the extreme maximum you would want to go without losing too much quality.
*50 inch screen with us sitting at a 10ft distance was a very good clear image.
I’m no expert just like most in these reviews, it’s cheap and it works within its abilitys. If you want higher quality your going to have to pay more for it.
During lockdown my little ones have been getting withdrawal symptoms from not going out and doing ‘normal’ things. One thing they have missed is going to the cinema, so I bought this projector with the aim of having ‘cinema nights’. I genuinely could not be more pleased!
The picture is very bright (need a darkened room of course), it is easy to focus and set up. It can use HDMI, AV, etc so we can literally just plug our Amazon Fire Stick directly into the projector and press play! It even has a USB port to power the fire stick!
The kids are over the moon with their cinema nights and I’ve also set it up to play PS4 and it is good enough to play Warzone on!
5 Stars all the way!
By the time it arrived, nicely packaged, fully retailed (even with an HDMI cable!!!) I connected it to my main computer and tested everything, from TV, to on-demand MET Opera, even my favorite vintage Hidden Objects Game.
The results are fantastic!!! High quality clear image, excellent colours, great compatibly.
EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY.
Small tip for best image quality: Set the Projector to its location in a low lit room, fix the keystone first, then the focus and after that go to settings and adjust the Color Temperature to your liking and then the Picture Mode.
For Movies, I prefer low contrast and sharpness for a more natural result, for gaming, I pinch sharpness above medium, and for TV or Images, I pinch the contrast instead.
I couldn’t be more happy with this projector, especially with a Black Friday deal- freaking steal for such a quality product.
Works better than expected, picture is clearer than expected too, also loud enough without using portable speaker!
It doesn’t have to be pitch black for a clear picture.
Works with my laptops through hdmi also my Xiaomi mobile through usb.
Netflix, Amazon prime videos whatever you want is possible to watch.
Do not think twice if interested, you won’t be disappointed!
Thank you Amazon.
Good Points: I was pleasantly surprised at how clear and sharp the images were. I was so impressed that I ended up ordering a larger projector Screen. With my Fire stick and surround sound connected (Via the 3.5mm), I now have a home theatre!
The user interface is intuitive (which is such a relief as these days most UI’s are unbelievably convoluted). Now while this product certainly exceeds my expectations, it is by no means an outstanding producthowever for the price and size, it is incredible value. But lets also talk about the Not-so-good points
Not So Good Points: For one, the display at edges of the screen aren’t quite as sharp. The output is certainly not up to 1080P(so don’t be misled by the listing), however the quality of the output is on par with a previous projector I had, so certainly not disappointing. Moreover, the TV is always an option if I want 4k.
I’ve read some comments about the fan being noisy. Well, it’s a projector, and projector fans usually make some noise. I would not describe the noise of the fan as intrusive. In fact , its barely noticeable when watching a movie.
Not sure how durable this gadget is, and there certainly is room for improvement, but for the price and size, it is incredible value.
I would recommend this!
Was thinking to buy a 70inch tv
My friend advice me to buy this projector
After buy this and used 10 15 days now I am going to write review
I want to say it’s really excellent and good pictures quality super and sound also very good there is little fan noice but you can’t fell it when you plying a video
Can use android tv box and iPhone there aux as well which one is good feature
Highly recommend
Great projector for the price. I bought it to replace an older projector I had as it was priced less than half the price of a replacement bulb. Good sound for a small unit. Easy to set up and navigate. I took a chance with it as I wanted something that I could control from the front and the photos and reviews call out IR receiver at the back but one photo showed possibly another on the front. I can confirm that the IR receiver work both front and back of the projector. Very happy with that!
My setup projects from 15 feet so I needed a projector that could handle that. It does and most of the time it’s fine but some pixelation around text can make it impossible to read at that distance. When Watching a football game for instance, the score or time can be hard to make out. I’ve tried adjusting sharpness and focus etc but cannot seem to resolve. Maybe this wouldn’t be an issue at a closer range.
I love watching video on big screen and 120″ is the maximum my studio wall can display. At this price I find the Elephas W13 a well balanced projector, setting up the screen mirroring with my android phone is just 4 clicks. Paid streaming video services will not work with screen mirroring but that is not the problem of the projector as there is built in copyright protection with all phones and tablets. I use fire stick with all my budget projectors as shown in my video.
There is noticeable fan noise at the left side of the projector, it does not run silent but non of the budget projector does anyway. Sound from the speakers are perfectly fine for watching movie and I find 80% volume is the sweet spot for my studio, cover the fan noise and no distortion at all.
It fits on the palm of my hand and this is easy to store away when not in use, at 11ft I get screen size of 120″ which again I find that is the sweet spot for my space. It is only usable when the room is dark and with dim light I can navigate menu but watching video need very dark room.
This is a good bit of kit for the price, don’t get me wrong don’t expect a top of the line projector but it’s good. The video I have attached was just projected onto a white sheet at the window for Halloween and the kids loved it. I’ve also used it to watch movies and it’s more 720p rather than the 1080p advertised but still decent quality.
It has an on board speaker which is decent enough but would advise a soundbar to be attached to it for that extra oomf.
If you are mirroring from a phone it won’t let you play Netflix or Prime videos due to copyright (as described in the description) but if you have an android phone it works with any of the other *cough *cough apk’s .
All in all decent for the price especially with the 25 off voucher attached to it, and if they’re true to their word you also get a free projector screen when you leave a review…. Can’t go wrong really.
Out of the box it seems tiny. But it packs a punch.
I am no tech head but even I found it dead easy to set up. I was able to play videos directly and wirelessly from my phone. It also played directly from a usb external hard drive. It had no trouble with .MP4, .Avi or .mkv file formats.
At full size the projected picture was excellent. Great sharp quality and great colours. There are lots of adjustments that can be made, but I found I didn’t need these and the default settings were just great.
My main uses for this are for film night at home and for work. This is great for taking to meetings and running through presentations or sharing documents from the laptop. It’s small size makes it ideal for carrying about.
In summary I think this is a great device. 5 stars.
excellent bright picture quality
the sound is dual speaker and is loud enough for what we needed it for.
the user interface is easy to navigate.
the wireless interface is easy and explains really well ( my 13 yr old daughter can work it )
we decided to connect to it using dex on our Samsung S10 & S20 which worked perfectly.
came with wires 1xhdmi 1xaudio also a uk plug 3 pin.
the remote is simple to use also.
all round excellent
well packaged and instructions aplenty
Bought this Elephas projector last night – October 10th and had it delieverd within 13hrs using Prime.
I set it up and within minutes, was watching YouTube using my streaming device and external speakers.
The picture quality is amazing and I love the fact that you can zoom in/out using the remote control.
The sound is amazing and has various settings including user defined.
Later on, I watched a Blu-ray movie from my DVD player and the picture was so incredible and the movie sound setting with Surround puts you right in the action.
After this, I set up my iPhone and iPad using the WiFi Screen Mirroring and was playing music and games from my Apple devices within seconds. It was so easy to setup.
Some reviews say that the projector’s cooling fan is noisy. I had the projector approx 2 feet above my head and to me, it was very much quieter than I read and in fact, watching a movie, even in the quiet scenes, I could not hear the fan.
Everything is positive about this projector. No negatives at all. Although, I do have one regret. I should have bought this first, instead of the two faulty ones of another brand I’ve had and returned in the past two weeks (separate review about them too).
My Pictures:
1: The beautiful projector itself.
2: Projected image from 10ft away, with zoom set at 90% on the 100inch Elephas screen.
3: Shows professionally how this was well cared for, using air-filled bag for ultimate protection for trans shipping.
So, if you’re looking for a magificent projector and you’re searching through Amazon’s selection. Do me a favour, put this on your wish list. Go and look at others but believe me, you will not find better than this at this price. So press that magical button “Add to basket/cart” and grab this projector 🙂
Set up was really easy. Instructions were simple and straightforward. I used a chromecast to cast content which worked very well. You do need an additional wire to connect your smartphone directly, which I will look at getting as I want to be able to use the projector in my garden where my WiFi signal sometimes doesn’t reach. Sound quality from the projector is adequate but it also has the ability to connect speakers which would make it louder. Picture quality was better than I expected and bright. I have used other similar and more expensive projectors which have not had as good quality picture output. The power cable is quite short (around 1m) but nothing an extention lead can’t fix. For the price of this projector I am very happy; it is good value for money and I would recommend it.
I saw a number of videos online showing the product in use, but you never really can tell until you see it first hand. Yes, whilst you can see the picture in broad daylight, you’d never want to watch a movie like that, but when the room it totally dark its a great. Again, is the picture 100% crystal clear – no – but most people will typically sit at a reasonable distance from whatever surface they are projecting onto (8-10 feet?) and at that distance, it really doesn’t matter – you really cant tell. So if you want a (relatively) cheap option for movie night at home, this is perfect. I only got it yesterday and linked it up to my digital TV box and it was up and running in seconds. I’ve just started to try and link my smart phone up and am having a bit or trouble at the moment (cant seem to get a connection to the website you need to connect to – its not as simple as just plugging your phone into the projector), but I’m sure I’ll get there with that too.
I had a blip today, when I accidently invoked the projector mode and flipped it into Australian Mode (Upside Down), this was difficult to correct because this also reversed the text making the text virtually unreadable , so I had to scroll through the settings to correct it, I have since discovered that once in the “projector mode”, all you do is keep clicking on the OK until it flips back.
This must to me be a technical fault, because I cannot believe the text reversal is intended to happen.
I kind of figure that once inverted and in situ, say fixed to your ceiling, it would be fine but for my money this means there should be a reset button to allow users to escape their erroneous changes.
I intend to use mine more as a portable device.
I found a wired connection to an Iphone simplicity.
Connecting an Iphone to The Elephas Projector, there are 2 sets of instructions, page 10 First Time Connection and page 11 Screening with Your Wi-Fi (Wireless Connection) all in “screen mirroring” mode.
Only elected for the first method Page 10, at present because as yet, I have not discovered, why the second method would be of use to me? Did not follow the drift of the instructions anyway, although the format is familiar to me.
The first method is relatively easy, simply go to your wi-Fi settings and Choose Rk Cast from the list of other Networks, connect to it with the very basic password 12345678, exit when connected,
The next bit, flummoxed me at first, because I did not know I had a “screen Mirroring”.
On my Iphone 5 if you use a flip up gesture you get a list of icons, one of which is “screen mirroring” select that and anything on your screen is now on the Projector.
I have a portable HDD with all my MP3 music collection on it, it works in the same way as The Elephas Projector and generates a User defined Wireless connection with a strong password that you can connect to on any device.
If you get stuck try a quick search on youtube, there are loads of very helpful instructions posted by friendly users.
Whenever I hit a “How do I do that” wall, I type an appropriate phrase into youtube and most times the answer can be found there.
I even fixed my dishwasher thanks to a kind lady in America.
I will get to grips with the 2nd Option, but I do feel the instructions are not well written in common parlance for the average user.
I consider myself computer literate, but I struggled a bit at first, writing manuals is a science in itself, colour coding would have helped and more closeup screenshots, some do not seem to resemble what I saw on my screen.
Lots of Manufacturers now use PDf format only, or Web based options. which is fine too. but it still needs to be concisely written.
That aside HDMI was simples too, have not used the AV or VGA yet as my laptop, as many do now, does not have VGA, but I have older machines that do.
Do not find the settings etc easy to navigate.
The handheld controller needs line of sight to work.
As for the colour, like most devices they all differ, and colour matching is always a problem across platforms, I did find one picture that was nothing like the original on the projector screen.
The unit is fairly compact and represents good value for money, until I can afford something more up market.
Despite the odd niggles I would still recommend it, it has 4 stars because nothing is ever perfect and this is an ideal machine for a first purchase.
Lastly Thickness, one Star because I have no idea what this is supposed to refer to?
If like me, and you’re looking for an occasional projector for the garden etc, then this is perfect. Great thing is it doesn’t have to be pitch black as it’s plenty bright enough, the last photo above shows the image projecting indoors in the day time. Not too bad. Project onto a proper screen and you’ve got your very own outdoor cinema. My only work of advice is to use an external sound source, the speakers are barely better than what you’d get out of your phone.
Update: to fix the Audio gripe, I bought a long audio cable, connected it to a portable speaker which I fixed to the top of my pergola and now I have the perfect outdoor cinema set up. Now I just need someone to sell me 10 bags of popco
I really wasn’t expecting much for the price if I’m being honest, I actually orignally got it just to do a Halloween display but I think it’s going to turn into a couple of movie nights outside with my niece and family every so often.
I’ve only tested videos off my iPhone so far but it certainly seems decent.
The downside is probably the speaker doesn’t sound too great but that can easily be solved by plugging in some external speakers.
I’d certainly recommend it if you are just doing the ocasional movie on a projector screen.
Considering the price of this projector the quality of picture is brilliant. I bought it as a spur of the moment purchase as we wanted to have a social distanced birthday party and thought a movie night would be great. We played from a laptop and the set up was very simple, just plug and play. The picture shown is with the projector playing straight onto a blue wall but still the image is clear and bright. I imagine it would be fantastic with a screen.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who like to entertain or has children. Great for parties or weddings or even keeping the kids entertained during holidays.
Had to tilt it because it sometiems blurs on the top and the bottom of the screen but easily fixed if you don’t mind it’s not a perfect square.
Makes a bit of fan noise but the audio quality is good enough to cover it up so you don’t notice it.
The remote control comes with batteries in and works really well.
It comes with hdmi cable so no need to buy one to go with it.
Also took me ages to realise it comes with a little tripod screw for the bottom so it can tilt without the need of a book or another prop.
Picture quality is sharp, at least 720p.
My favourite purchase of the year, 100% recommend this projector to anyone.
I really like how easy is to connect to an AppleTv 3rd generation. In a few seconds, the projector is showing the video on the walls! Of course, you cannot ask too much for the price, but there are two main things to consider when you are buying this. First, picture quality is not great, even if you select the highest resolution. Second, and more important, you would miss many-many photograms if you plan to mirror your ipad screen on the projector. The sound is obviously bad too. But you can easily connect it to a good set of speakers (with a cable of course, no bluetooth). In essence, your children would love it, you may just laugh it…
I am not not very tech savvy, so can’t speak on the specs but only my experience. I found the picture and sound to very good, even with some light in the room.
I attached a tv stick and it worked perfectly. I couldn’t get my samsung phone to connect but more research and I discovered I needed a particular cable, which I bought, still didn’t work. Researched again to find my phone is not MHL compatible, so it will never connect I then tried my laptop. I could see my laptop home screen and could hear the movie I was playing but it wasn’t showing the movie. After some time I discovered you need to duplicate your screen, and I was away.
So end result was, any issues were not the fault of the projector but my lack of knowledge. I have already recommended this to several people. Even though some reviewers state they offer a free gift for a good review, that was not my motive. I depend on reviews when buying products so I hope someone finds this helpful.
After looking at a few, I opted for this due to its relatively low cost but long bulb life.
It is amazingly easy to set up and connect to various sources such as SD card, USB, laptops, DVD player, Fire stick or even games console.
It focuses well and easily to give a crisp picture.
The sound quality is quite good although I have connected mine to my sound bar. It can easily connect to speakers or other amplifiers.
The fan isn’t too noisy either.
Well worth the money, time for a Star Wars movie!
A dark room gives best results. Only time will tell how long it will last but to be fair I’ve well had my money’s worth in the last couple of weeks! Recommended if it comes back in stock.
For watching TV and movies it is amazing – I have noted that it is much better when ‘level’ with the projection surface, rather than lower down and angled using the little leg so i have put it on a shelf. The fan noise isn’t as bad as I had feared, some might say it is a little loud but for me it just kind of ebbs into the background when I am engrossed in the program and i wear a headset when gaming. It is more noticeable during quiter scenes of a program but nothing that bothers me too much – i am not too picky really as long as it serves its purpose
I gave it 4 stars just because nothing is perfect and the fan could be a little quieter maybe but overall i am very happy so far!
Had it for a while now and used it a lot. Still very good. If anything the fan has bedded in and got even quieter. My old projector was old school. Arc lamp, noisy, powerhungry, 2000lumens, 1024×768 with zoom. This new one uses LED, a pretty quiet fan, much less power & is a fraction of the cost. There is no optical zoom so a fixed distance from the screen gives a fixed screen size. However, there is a digital zoom in the settings so if you want to tweak smaller than the fixed size you can – but it loses resolution the smaller you go. I am only using a 60inch dedicated white screen – not massive by any means. There is a keystone adjustment but this creates slightly blurry edges so try and postion the projetor straight at the screen. When you first switch on, in even fairly dim conditions there is no way the lux values relate to the old school projector values. images are very washed out. Daylight viewing & well lit rooms are not an option. Good results are only in dimly lit rooms – with best results in near/total darkness. When I first switched it on the colours were way off, as were colour tone, brightness and contrast. But this was sorted with the large amount of picture tweaks in the settings. You get a really well coloured, realistic and vibrant image with a bit of time spent. Settings are kept so you only have to do it once. I use it with the HDMI input and that works fine. Overall it was dimmer than the numbers suggest. The projector does good justice to a DVD with HDMI output. Though Bluray images don’t appear to be much better. that’s because although it accepts full HD inputs the actiual projectors native resolution is only 800 x 480. The single speaker is like any small mono speaker, not that loud or with heavy bass but at near full volume (it doesn’t seem to distort) it is surprisingly loud. There is an output for headphones or an external speaker. It is well made, sturdy and small.The design looks modern – solid matte white plastic with black accents. It looks far more expensive than it is. I got it for 55 and am more than happy. In a near dark room, only 60in projection (it can go huge but then you lose relative resolution and brightness) and ensuring the colour etc settings are to taste then I really enjoyed the experience of a full film.
Firstly, the projector comes well packaged, in a box inside a sturdy bubble wrap envelop.
There are a decent array of accessories included such as hdmi cable, AV cable and remote ( plus other bits ) so was happy to have another hdmi cable to save having to unplug cables directly from the tv.
The projector itself is very easy to setup and use, either with the included remote or with the buttons on the back. There are various options for selecting source, either with the left / right keys from the menu on there is a SOURCE SELECT Button on top.
The image, once focused is nice and bright, I was pleasantly surprised how well I could see it in a dimly light room. There is a nice wide focus range plus a basic keystone adjust to try and straighten up wonky images when the projector is at a funny angel.
The built in speaker is a little lacking in bass, but honestly you can’t expect much for price / siZe of the speaker.
All in all I am very happy with this, and would consider a second one eventually.
Pros
– bright, clear image
– easy control / setup
– plenty of input options
– nice array of accessories
Cons
– speaking a little flat, but not the end of the world
Pretty bright, LEDs so no bulb changes!
Fan noise is pretty minimal.
Speaker is good enough for a small conference room. It’s not enough for a large room, you can connect a PA system if you need it louder.
Powered USB and TWO HDMI ports.
I have been using the projector and that has beem working well. If it’s on the ceiling, it has a remote to control it as well.
It has a setting to allow for having the projector behind a translucent screen.
DISLIKES:
It doesn’t have the left/right keystone. This isn’t a deal-breaker but means the screen must be pointed right at the projector or you’ll have part of the image out of focus.
No carrying case. It would be nice to be able to have a case to take this with me to the conference.
No adjustable throw distance. This means you can’t adjust the fit of the image on a screen without moving the projector.
OTHER NOTES:
The focus and keystone (UP/DOWN) manual. Colors are well saturated and distortion is minimal.
Contrast is decent in dark rooms, but like all projectors, the brighter the room, the less contrast you have.
SIZE: It’s okay.
All in all, this projector is cost-effective. And I believe that most people will enjoy it.
One thing to note because it took me a few minutes to work out, when you adjust the focus, the the lamp/led twists out of the unit. When it’s out, the lamp/led cover can’t be put on for protection.
However, that doesn’t affect it’s use. It’s actually a pretty good projector hence why I rate it 5 stars. It’s bright, vivid, in focus, and accepts hdmi, usb, vga, and av input. In built speakers are adequate, but as with all projectors I’ve seen, you really need to buy additional speakers for better enhancement.
It comes with all the cables you require and a remote control too.
