Great little projector surprisingly good picture also easy to transport can take in cabin bag on flight for use in hotel or apartment connect to firestick or use usb to watch downloaded content if no WiFi or internet connectio
I have to say I have just received a Elephas projector, “Nice!” Such a great product.
However, I am pretty disappointed, for what I paid that it didn’t come with a tristand/mini tripod as advertised in the video.
(See image for details.)
Bought this for my son for Christmas and with it being quite small I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’ve been so impressed by it.
Set up was pretty straight forward, the picture is big and covers a large part of the wall and the quality really is great. Very happy!
We set up this little projector in seconds. So easy to focus. Projected picture directly onto our lounge wall Excellent picture quality throughout the whole film. Planning to take this away on our trip as it’s so easy to fit in a suitcase. We would recommend this product wholeheartedly.
We like it because it is small, but bright enough for our needs. We are using it in our camper van and because it has a battery we can use it without plugging it in and running our leisure battery down at night. Really easy to set up – all round great!
Bought this as a gift for my partner. It came well presented and with a case and stand. We haven’t used it much yet but so far set up has been easy. The picture quality is impressive at both small and large sizes and works really. Speaker is a little tinny but it will connect to a Bluetooth speaker no problem.
Needed a compact projector for use in our camper van (projecting onto the pop top when in bed) and this is just what we were looking for. Beautifully packaged in a carrying case and simple to use with screen mirroring or wirelessly with WiFi. Other options as yet unexplored but seems to have very comprehensive connectivity. Brightness is fine even in a lit room.
Update: adding a firestick is a great way to get direct access to Netflix, prime and other streaming services.
I purchased this projector more than a month ago. Used a lot , so now I can share my experience. Excellent projector! Easy to connect with iPhone, ( I believe with the other phone brands too). One click and you connected. You can used projector while is charging, ( not everyone does, like Kodak ) . I bought this projector to decorate my cookies, it works perfect for me- clear image, quick connection and you can use while charging . I don’t leave feedback often, but this one deserves to be bought .
Very impressed with this piece of kit – a great addition for my travels. The small size means you can take it anywhere, so no more lugging the weight of a laptop and charger around. Although, like all video output devices, it works best in a dark room, the 500 ANSI Lumens output of the DLP-1 (upgraded from 200 ANSI) makes it bright enough to use even in daytime conditions. I’ve used it when camping with a 100″ projector screen, as well as on holiday in hotel rooms, and I have to say that the performance for such a small device is astonishingly good, exceeding all my expectations. Excellent connectivity through Bluetooth, HDMI, Apple Airplay gives you a lot of flexibility in pairing with your devices. Connected instantly and painlessly with my Denon soundbar at home and my Anker portable speaker on my travels with no lag or dropouts. I simply would not travel anywhere now, for any extended period, without taking the DLP-1 along. It’s a cinema in your pocket – highly recommended.
The problem with many projectors is that the minimum distance between the lens and the screen is too big but in this mini-projector it is wonderful. A focussing dial on the side ensures a good image at a distance of around 2 ft.
I have found it works very well for this applicatio
I have been really impressed with this little projector so far. For the size of it the picture is impressively bright and detailed actually – far better than I expected to be totally honest. Even in a reasonably well lit room the picture is very usable for presentations etc and allows films to be shown in a perfectly watchable way but as with most projectors really does benefit from a darkened room at which point it really does come into its own!
I love the fact that it can be run off a powerbank and also has its own inbuilt rechargeable battery which makes it perfect for carrying around and setting up for impromptu sessions. The automatic keystone adjustment works surprisingly well and it even comes with a carry case, remote control and mini tripod so has everything you need apart from a screen. Most of the places I’ve used it have has a reasonable span of blank white/cream wall space which has been absolutely fine.
Another huge bonus for me is the ability to plug a memory stick into the USB port and play films, photos etc directly from that. The mirroring works well from my phone too (android). I haven’t tried it for streaming from an ios device as I don’t have one but I’m sure it would be equally competent.
The only real downside is the sound which really isn’t great at all but I genuinely didn’t expect it to be so use it alongside a Bluetooth speaker.
For a product which is so small and around 220 when on offer I think it represents excellent value for money – super happy with my purchase!
What a fantastic little projector this is. Purchased as a Christmas present for our son for gaming in his room – it displays a 60 inch image across a really short throw with great colours and no image bleed. The ability to also beam a smaller image down on to his desktop for copying pictures is great. The speakers aren’t too bad either for the size but it’s easily compatible with our Bluetooth soundbar. Being so compact it can be taken anywhere, so great for holidays and camping trips. Well worth your investment.
I have been using this projector now for a few weeks. It’s absolutely brilliant, you can connect your firestick to the back which enables you to watch streaming content. The sound is not amazingly loud, however it’s perfect for my use. If you want the full experience, you can always connect a speaker via Bluetooth.
It comes with a travel case and a stand.
The quality is fantastic for the price. It’s clear, and you can select where you are watching it. For example, the ceiling, front wall, back wall etc.
I would definitely recommend this. If you want something louder, just add a speaker.
clear pictures and just a slight noise from the fan .
Sounds good from a small machine but better to contact to sound bar but what isn’t.
Picture is good but may need to be brighter but watchable at such a big size 99 inch corner to corner and at a size of 48 inch very good and in day time yet to try in dark but should be much better. What else can I say for a pocket sized machine but grea
I have had several projectors over the years but this is by far the most user friendly and compact of them all. Apart from coming with the useful accessories of a tripod and storage case it projects an excellent image with great definition. It also connects well with larger camera tripods when a higher and more remote projection position is required. The WiFi connectivity has made it perfect not only for home use and business presentations it is also the ideal media companion to take on holidays.
All in all I am very pleased with my latest projector.
I use this for displaying resources when teaching outside of my usual classroom. It is light weight and portable and displays things well enough. I can’t always get the best clarity, but it is good enough.
Great little projector and extremely powerful and bright considering the size. Creates an extremely large picture from relatively low throw distances. I Use the hdmi for fire tv and the mirror function for iPhone. Extremely portable. The carry case and included stand are both very well made and a nice bonus.
This Projector has truly exceeded my expectations. The projector has an exceptional resolution, generous screen size, and captivating color ambience. The clarity and sharpness of the images and videos are outstanding. Whether watching movies, playing games, or giving presentations, the high resolution ensures a visually stunning experience. it transforms any space into a home theater. It’s perfect for movie nights providing a theater-like experience at home. The hues are rich and deep, and the colors enhance the mood and atmosphere. Setting up the projector was very easy and fast, and it offers a range of connectivity options like Airplay, HDMI, and Bluetooth which makes it versatile for various devices. The user-friendly interface and remote control make navigation simple. In conclusion, the Projector is a fantastic addition to my home entertainment setup. With its impressive resolution, expansive screen size, and captivating colors, it delivers a top-notch viewing experience. I highly recommend i
ELEPHAS Mini Projector has truly redefined entertainment for me. The colors are vibrant, and the details are incredibly crisp, making every viewing experience truly immersive. Its blend of excellent visuals, seamless connectivity options, portability, and user-friendly design makes it a standout choice in the world of projectors. It’s a fantastic investment for anyone seeking an immersive, high-quality viewing experience.
First of all (and this was a big surprise) it plays back PowerPoint files from a usb drive – no PC required! It loads Microsoft Office Suite, seemingly on an Android-like operating system. The implementation of the PowerPoint playback is a bit clunky to find your way around. It doesn’t do embedded video clips and sometimes formatting appears wrong. Keep PowerPoint presentations simple and it is fine. Use it with a PC for fully-fledged PowerPoint.
It was fine playing back jpgs and mp4s. However, I could not seem to flick through jpgs in a folder, having to close one and open another. Folders are a nuisance. On inserting a usb stick, the projector creates 7 folders on it. That’s quite unnecessary! It’s also only usb2. pdfs play back using the Office Suite, which is not as user-friendly as on a PC. Software can be updated online as the projector connects to WiFi. It will need to be mains-powered to do this.
The brightness is OK in a dimmed room and the picture quality is not bad. The fan is a bit noisy but not at a disturbing frequency. The focus wheel is a bit too sensitive. The auto-adjustment of trapezoidal effects from a tilted projector works well. The remote control can be fussy if not pointed directly.
The time on battery playback is between 1h30m and 2h. Charging is 2h or more. The power supply uses a usb C slot at up to 12v. I have a small car jump start battery that I would like to connect but will need to solder a special cable.
The presentation of the projector and accessories is very good – all in a sturdy, zip-up case. But the projector is so small that it will easily slip into a laptop case with an hdmi cable for connection.
I would recommend this projector for its portability and flexibility, but it is suitable mainly for smaller, dimmed rooms.
I’m running workshops and talks and was looking for a portable solution to fit in my backpack. It does the job well! It’s small and lightweight. I use curtains in the room to improve the viewer experience, and I mostly use it wired although the wireless mode is available (but won’t run for things like Netflix due to licensing restrictions). Basically for the price point it’s good value for money. I also use it at home to have lazy moments in my bed and watching some movies and YouTube videos, plugging an external speaker. It has all the connectivity to adapt to different needs and that is a strong point. Powerbanks may work but the high power ones for laptop only (the one I’ve got is for smartphone and is not powerful enough, but that’s OK on battery it lasts more than an hour for a quick session).
Cons. The drawbacks with this are, dust gets inside it very easily, you will have to clean it every 2 months, and that is not that simple as it’s difficult to get at the lenses inside. Also the keystone is essentially useless, this projector only works when viewed square on, it is not designed for ceiling mount set up, where you need to angle it down. The keystone works in so far as it will square the image when angled, but the lower section will blur when you are angled down, you can’t correct this with the focus wheel.
Lastly it is not 6800 Lumens, it is bright and the picture is great, but that number is definitely exaggerated, maybe divide it by 2 and you will get somewhere closer.
Overall a great introduction to projectors, but it is a budget projector so don’t expect this to compete overall with the more expensive ones.
This is a great little projector, you can literally have a movie like experience anywhere with a flat white wall!
I had previously bought a cheaper projector off here that stated it could playback 1080p, however it was only 480p native..
It did throw a bigger picture than this one, however it doesn’t come close to the picture quality. Honestly 1080p native is the only way to go in my opinion.
This projector was one of the cheapest so I wasn’t expecting much, but my god did it surpass my expectations! Bright, clear images.. And a surprisingly loud speaker! It’s honestly comparable to some TVs I have heard!
Even when the lights are on its not a completely washed out image, definitely watchable although dark environments are where this excels.
Paired with a soundbar and you have yourself a home cinema experience for sub 300, perfect for these never ending lockdowns!
Beware tho, they boost their reviews by offering a free gift for a 5 star review which is unfortunate, as I believe it can stand on its own.
EDIT: After a while the image developed a black mark on the top right that cannot be removed via cleaning the lens (annoying on white scenes). The fabric also began to fall off the back.
Considering the price that this projector usually sells for, you’re not going to find a better projector in this range.
This does project at a native 1080p resolution, unlike the majority of other projectors in this price range which are 1080p “compatible”, however in actuality project at 480p. The brightness excellent, I don’t think it’s quite 6800 lumens, perhaps 75% of that, but it’s still very good in this bracket.
One slight con regarding the picture quality is that the red level isn’t quite perfect, and can sometimes look washed out or a touch pink. That said, this is a minor issue and is barely noticeable compared to the red-bleed issues on other low-cost displays. This does tend to create noise from downscaled higher-res video inputs, and in this regard the “noise reduction” setting does very little, but this is a ~150 projector, and it’d be unfair to expect such issues to not be present.
The sound is adequate for a built-in speaker, but not really suitable for long-term viewing. If you’re going for a true home cinema experience, you should be hooking this up to a hi-fi/amplified set up anyway, or even directly lining this to stereo/5.1/7.1 speakers, of which there are plenty of great value solutions also.
The I/O selection is good also, and comes packed with HDMI, VGA, and RCA adapter cables, all of which are great to receive included, regardless of their ubiquity.
All-in-all, this is a brilliant projector at this price point, and could not recommend this more if you’re only willing to spend <200; at that, you'll be hard pressed to find a better projector for less than twice the price of this one.
Now compared to the Q9 (this product) there is just no comparison. The Q9s image is amazingly good! and it is also alot brighter than the YG600.
you cant see the pixels unlike the YG600 either which is just great, it also supports 2K and i have played some UHD videos on the Q9 and they look awsome!
the fan is also slightly quieter than the YG600 and it does not get as hot as the YG600 either. it also has a removable filter that is easily taken off the projector for cleaning (it just fits on the side of the machine and snaps on) this is a good design as it cleans the incoming air to prevent dust build up.
one thing i will say with this projector is that it will take some fiddling about with both focus and keystone to get the image as good as possible. meaning that i found it harder to get a perfectly clear image compared to the YG600.
in the end i had to try and get the projector almost “head on” to the wall and adjusted keystone and focus to get it perfect.
there is no black corners on this thing and the image quality is really really good, i got lucky on this and got it on black Friday for only 110 down from 180. and in my opinion i would be happy to have paid the full price if i knew how good it was going be.
Honestly a really great projector and easily worthy of integrating into a dedicated home cinema room, its also worthy of a decent screen as the image is that good on it. for 110 its stupidly good, i dont even want the free gift as i have had one from them before (amazon fire stick worth 40 at the time).
time will tell if it holds up but even if it lasted only 2 years its worth the quality you get, i only use blu rays on my PlayStation 4 and so its not really worth getting a higher resolution projector yet, but i am guessing Elephas will be working on a 4K one in the future once we have newer resolutions come out and the parts are cheaper. i am always behind with tech and i always get a good price because of that.
to me 1080p for a 100 – 150″ screen is good enough to be cinema quality, this will be a nice addition to my dedicated budget cinema room, that will be upgraded once Elephas bring out a new projector with even better resolution.
i must also add that UHD youtube videos look stunning on this even just projected at a wall, as for daytime viewing its not going to do too well but i bought this item knowing that already, as i intended to use it in a dedicated cinema room anyway.
great product and i will buy from Elephas again, they keep impressing me with great prices and great quality.
Great product, easy to set up and connect. We bought it a few weeks into lockdown and it’s had extended outdoor use over the summer as our “Go to” home cinema! Thank goodness we have had the weather for it hey?
Arrived promptly and was carefully packaged with all the accessories neatly packed into their own individual plastic bags with clear instructions for the “non teccy” recipients. My Hubby did a lot of research into what he was buying and at first, he was a little sceptical mainly because he had never heard of the Brand before and for what the model was offering, the price did seem a little too cheap!
However, I am glad to say we haven’t regretted it… we’ve had so many hours of fun and so have our friends and immediate family! The sound was a little too “tinny” for our liking but after we hooked it up to a soundbar we were soon enjoying Cinema quality pictures and sound and we didn’t even have to pay 5 quid plus for a tub of popcorn… We even bought a Gazebo (with sides) so we could start watching movies earlier on in the day, but it has such a great picture quality anyway, we hardly had to put them down. We have now moved indoors as it’s getting chillier and enjoying projecting onto our Dining room wall (Off white) Picture quality is superb
Our friends have been so impressed 2 of them have already purchased the same model so if you are thinking of taking the plunge… please do… you won’t be disappointed! Great product at a very competitive price
having read the many positive reviews, he went ahead and purchased and s I took the plunge and decided to purchase this. If your thinking of buying one DO!! I’d recommend setting it up with a sound bar or similar to get that true movie experience and for the money I spent I don’t think I’d ever get a 77″ tv screen!!
I have to remember how much I paid for this projector when reviewing. This is budget one so you shouldn’t expect too much. I don’t have other projectors to compare but my view is it’s really good and very watchable for the odd movie night. The overall picture is great and reasonably good at about 100inches. The colour is fair and there is a reasonable contrast and visibility in the darker areas though you need to play with the setting to get the best. At full HD it’s fairly unique at this price as so many others are not full HD native. Some of the definition is lost though as the focus does seem a little soft no mater how you adjust. A few other points:
It really is for dark rooms only
The fans are noisy but not terrible, so think about position.
Keystone adjustment can cause image to blur at bottom.
Sockets on back are close to casing and close together so some sockets don’t fit well.
The audio output From rear 3.5mm socket is poor quality but speakers are good.
None of the above are that bad and I’m living with them all fine. If this is your first projector and don’t want to fork out a fortune as for me this is a great projector.
I have only had the projector for a short time, so happy to update my review later if things change, but so far I am very happy with it. The picture quality is very crisp and certainly looks 1080p to me (based on a YouTube video). Sound quality is reasonable, though slightly distorted at higher volumes (though my intent was always to use it with an external speaker anyway). Brightness is good, though, as with any budget projector, you wouldn’t try to use this in an un-darkened room. Still, even during daytime without blackout blinds, the picture was perfectly visible and reasonable to watch, but for optimal experience, make the room as dark as possible.
I haven’t yet tested compatibility with an Amazon Fire Stick or a hard disk/USB drive, so if there are any issue I will update my review.
The unit itself is very attractive and has a “premium” design to it. It’s light enough to go on most shelves without having to worry about weight (if that’s how you intend to mount it), and it’s easy to focus.
While I have no significant experience with more expensive home cinema units, and I am sure a direct comparison would highlight the benefits of a “true” home cinema projector, but for the price, I am very pleased with this so far. [Our intended use: to have a large screen that we can watch shows and movies on in bed, and occasionally to move to the living room for movie nights with friends, without buying a large HD TV that would be a) more expensive, and b) a hassle to mount to the wall].
Ok this is an open and honest review of the elephas q9 projector. I’ve had this for a few weeks now and I can honestly say it’s transformed our evenings entertainment during lockdown!. First things first you get everything you need on the box to get going and it’s as very nice looking unit.
The build quality In places is as little bit plasticy but what do you expect for this kind of money!
I’ve been using it with a Google Chromecast for a wireless solution and the additional usb ports on the back of the projector run that with no issues.
I originally had it angled up with the little foot cranked all the way up so it’s as long as possible using the keystone correction I managed to get the image on the wall square.
I did find though using the keystone correction did cause some areas of the picture to be blurry while others were sharper. I reverted to having it straight on instead and got a sharper picture immediately across the entire image.
My projector is sat about 4 m from the wall and provides an image of around 3m diagnolly.
It is usable during the day just however it is a little faint as is found with most apart from the really expensive projector. From dusk to night time though it is exceptional. The native 1080p resolution is really sharp and detailed you have to get close to the wall too see the individual pixels even at this size!
Noises!
Firstly the sound quality of the built in speaker is surprisingly good, really I was a little shocked expecting it to be tinny and weedy sound. It’s actually really well balanced nice bass from the speaker and loud enough for movies indoors or out great work there elephas! The only negative is that the fan is a little noisy not unpleasantly loud but you occasionally notice it in quiet moments. Again for this money you can’t argue but it is suprising as it’s led projection doesn’t normally emit so much heat.
The connectivity options are numerous with usb ports 2 hdmi and VGA and an old school composite av off you still have some older av equipment
This has really made our lock in more bareable as we can’t go to the cinema! Really recommended product.
What you would need to know about this is the following:
Very good picture quality (1080P)
Very good sound as well (surprisingly)
Possibility of immense screen (a given)
Can even be viewed when light out with curtains drawn, if you have dark curtains even better (just need to adjust picture settings accordingly like contrast, brightness, colour etc)
Gaming is awesome on it
If you use this with a console or a fire stick (haven’t tried the latter) you can easily have your own huge smart tv. This coming from someone who had bought a Toshiba 58″ 4k T|V and returned it due to backlight bleed, have bought the video projector and have no regrets.
The one thing I wasn’t expecting having not owning one of these before is the noise the fan makes, I wouldn’t say it is very loud, but it is loud, you kinda drown out the sound whilst watching and based on what movie you’re watching it, becomes barely noticeable.
All in all, if you choose to buy this, to use daily or from time to time, you will not be disappointed, but pleasantly surprised.
I would definitely recommend it.
My review I canassure you is 100% my own opinion. I purchased this protector with my own Money and this review is not influencedin anyway.
I felt the need to review this Projector, quite simply butits amazingfor what it cost.
I had owned a projectormany years ago, it was sold simply on the basis of needing to moveinto my first place and freeing up funds. I’ve missed the projector experience every single day since.
However that is going back 10+ years, the projectorI purchased then was 700+ and entry level then.
Whilst this is entry levelproductin theory today , it also only 150, but its LED lit, far brighterand with longer shelflife than older projectors & Native 1080P. – NOT 1080 Support
Going back again, it only cost me 150. I couldn’teven buy a qualitybranded 32″ Bedroom television for that price. This is exactly however where this projector has gone, my Bedroom.
The unit sits on a shelf above my Bed and gives me up to 120″ Display at that distance.
I understand the claimis up to 300″ however to achieve this the projector would have to be some distanceaway from the wall and at that point I may question the visible screen quality.
The screenquality however at this time up to 120″ is by far FANTASTIC.
When purchasing this projectorI did a lotof research and for the money it was honestlydown to 2 units, this and the Vankyo 630.
There was only 10 differenceeither way, with specs the same I chose this modelquite simply on is appearance, I thought when not in use, as a shelveditem it looks clean, fresh and in a way slightly retro, the fabricfrontagejust gives it a differing look to that of a genericProjector.
As noted above, I did a lot of research before actually buying it, reading the reviews, going on Youtube, and whilst waiting for the delivery 2 review points worried or bugged me… But lets be clear (Do not worry about them)
1: The Sound(Speakers)
2: The Sound (Fan Noise)
1: the speakers were by far way better than expected, Easily surpassthat of a generic television speakers capability. As soon as I had arrived it was straight out of the box and in use, I watched a few Netflix Shows, (Marco Polo) and I find as-long as the Show you are watching is entertaining and looks good, with OK ish sounds, you get lost in the show and forget about the Sound in general. So more than OK for general use.
I am however a major movie and game fan so the projectorisn’tused for sound – just for Visual pass through, the sound is now carried to a Sound Bar. One friend criticized the projector saying it only really has a AUX out for sound – But who cares, Id trail the sound out of my Sky and Games console via optical to the Sound Bar. Either way you can still carry sound that way if you want.
2: Its a projector, yes they get warm so do have a fan, its like anythingLaptop or PC, the projector is Audible but this thing sits on a shelf above my head in bed, I did not hear it when there is something on, Movie or Games, it only notable if you stand there without any source going through it.(But at that point why moan about the loud fan – if its not being used (I hope that make sense)
Idon’t believe I can stress enough what an amazingproduct this is and for what it cost.
Its as stated, astraight out of box usable projector, the advantage of inbuilt speakers, it will work for those with limited space or simply do not care or want additionalsound bars or speakers. Honestly you don’t really need them for basic use.
The Speakers are Perfect for outdoor summer use, or generalportability to another persons house, this is only about 2.5kg and can be easily carried about in a rucksack to another location.
Now this point is not aimed just at this projector, but many othersout there, but If I was to re-designthis product myself I would had adjustablefeet, so all 4 can be adjusted, whilst there is a leg for front adjustment, having the same capability at the rear would be helpful, That said it doesn’tdetract my review or opinion of this unit.
I’m currentlyusing this against a Whitewall, the wall paperis slightly embossed so the next thing will be a screen, however in my opinion the benefit of the screen would only be very minimal against what I have already, so im not in a rush.
I’ve added a Photo but to be honest its pointless, its a dark room with a photo ofDisney+. but to give you an idea, that image is around110-120″ approximate. The protector is fully usable in day light also, however really shines in darker locations and you get the better performance.
I have no regrets in my own purchase, no regrets in recommending to afriend (Who has purchased it) and no hesitation in recommending it to public on this forum.
There is vertical keystone adjustment, but no focus compensation. So you’ll have to choose which part of the picture you want in focus. Best to mount this projector level. There is no other keystone or ‘shape’ adjustment on the unit. Apparently there is a screw to set horizontal focus that is factory adjusted. There is a small amount of ‘Zoom’ adjustment to reduce the size.
The unit is native 1080P and slightly brighter than the very cheap Chinese projectors.
You can plug USB drives direct into the unit and play content. (h265 not supported). The processing power is low, so you want 1080p content that’s relatively small in file size or the unit struggles to play it and can be choppy.
The fan inside is fairly loud. Think hairdryer on a low setting. Not a factor if you’re watching at ‘Movie’ level sound volumes, but annoyingly loud if you want to watch some TV at a quiet volume.
There’s a small ‘tripod’ style hole on the bottom front. You can’t mount the unit with this, it’s just for raising the front end. If you remove the 4 rubber feet there are mounting holes. A generic projector mount that can resize it’s screw positions will fit in these holes. The projector has a setting to flip and reverse the image for ceiling mounting.
The remote is simple and works fine in any part of the room. You need to supply batteries (AAA).
Short HDMI and audio (RCA to 3.5mm) are supplied in the box.
There is a speaker in the projector. It’s not Stereo, and not particularly good quality. However it does go fairly loud and is adequate for a quick gaming session, but not great for cinematic sound.
Hopefully this has been an actual useful review. Be cautious of all the fake 5* reviews across Amazon and the 5* Free Gift reviews. Look at 2-4* reviews for the best info.
Even though the price is quite expensive, the image quality is good; my video shows the comparison between the room with lighting on and off. In the video my husband tested it with his PS4. We also tried to connect the projector with my laptop, it was easy to install. We were looking for the focus bar, which is located on the side of the projector, other than that you don’t really need to read the manual book.
The only drawback is the noise of the fan. We need to turn up the volume quite high in order to cover up the noise. There is no problem if you would like to have an experience like in the cinema, big screen and high volume, but if you have a small children and want to watch a movie not so loudly, then you might have additional fan noise as background (put the projector in some distance might help). To get you into perspective, we put the projector about 5m from the wall to get the desired screen size, we tried different distance before (if we put 2,7m against the wall and it was just slightly bigger than our tv). Overall we can’t wait to have a proper movie night in near future with our new projector!
Why I bought:
I’m on the committee of our local garden club. I’m the only one under the age of 50, so technical stuff usually falls to me. We’ve had an old projector for years and years. It only used VGA, it was loud and noisy, and I think one of the feet fell off. I recently convinced the committee to get a new projector (which, if you know committees, is a lot of trouble).
First, we got an old one that one of our committee members had. The fan was deafening and you had to have every light in the building be off to be able to see it. Oh dear.
Then, we got this.
We had our AGM with this machine and it worked an absolute treat. No more fiddling with VGA. Our chairman managed to set this up! And he’s terrible with electrics. It’s simple enough to use that our committee was amazed! I got to sleep through the event.
Product itself:
First, the wrapping on it is amazing. There are so many little covers and all the cables come in their own bags. It’s nice to have, and it can make you remember what you forgot when you see an empty bag.
The brightness is very nice. It’s perfectly bright enough even in a well-lit room. You can actually see in front of you while you watch stuff! It’s great.
The fan volume’s nice and quiet. You can hear it, but it’s not too bad. If you’ve got audio going through the projector, it’s just a barely noticeable thing. We mostly use it for powerpoints though.
In terms of picture quality and how easy it was to project onto the screen? Well, we had to fiddle with the saturation during the initial set-up. We were able to watch a show on a screen and it was set up how we liked it within the first minute.
We considered alternatives but I’m glad I recommended this one. I got lumbered with the job of storing it for the club and I might cheekily hook it up to one of my laptops to watch my shows in my room. Absolutely recommend this, especially for your frugal committee members!
I am very satisfied with this purchase.
The latest display technology which provides HD image quality, that is the most important thing I need, not bad compares with other famous brands projectors.
The brightness of image is just extraordinary, and I can use it even the lights on.
The sound quality is great volume level, also it can connect speaker, up to personal like.
It’s easy to use, can be packed straight after use, no need to wait to cool down.
I also like the fact you can adjust the projected image so that it appears flat even if you are projecting from an angle.
You don’t need a projector screen, any white wall would works well, other colors walls also works but not perfect as white walls.
The image size can be up to 300-inch, it is a huge home cinema. I like the experience, just amazing.
I can enjoy the cinema with family in a nice , quiet, warm environment, no matter how’s the weather, we don’t need to travel far any more.
It comes with multifunctional connections. AV/VGA/USB/Micro SD/ HDMI/Audio to connect different devices.
By using HDMI adaptor cables, I can connect iPhone, iPad, android devices, very convenient to use.
But personal idea if it’s in WiFi, it will be more convenient. As sometimes due to the wire connection, the cables are a bit more easy to get faulty, without cable will look more tidy as well. Also this product doesn’t include HDMI cable, so you have to purchase the cable separately if you want to connect mobile devices.
Overall it exceeded my expectations. It’s performing very well, both image and sound, also the price is nice too.
