The Cons.
1. It does not come with built in apps like Netflix. This really didn’t bother me as I use Roku 4k and simply plug that in. Manufacturer’s often don’t support apps in the long run so a plug in device is much better for me. Also means I don’t have to set it up, add the Wi-Fi etc. I can screen mirror off Roku too.
2. I was surprised that there seems to be no way to switch off the blue light illuminating the switches. If anybody does know a way, do let me know. I found it annoying at first as the projector sits on a coffee table in front of us, but must admit I don’t notice it now.
3. It’s not small, but small projectors seem to loose a lot in quality at a similar price point.
The pros.
1. Picture quality. This really is excellent in my opinion. Sharp, good colours, good depth with blacks being pretty dark. Picture quality really was what I most wanted and I am thrilled with this.
2. Autofocus and screen correction work really well and make it so easy to set up and use straight away. A couple of times I’ve used the manual focus, which is really easy to use, but it nearly also gets this right.
3. The sound is very good. The projector doesn’t handle Dolby sound so if you need that, avoid, but otherwise we find it very good for films, music etc.
4. It has zoom, which I wanted for the flexibility, but so far have not needed to use it.
5. I really like the sliding door covering the lens, so no worry about losing a lens cap.
6. It’s quiet. Now this is subjective, but we have a dehumidifier that runs in the background, so we don’t notice the sound from the projector at all.
7. It’s a sealed unit so no need to regularly clean filters.
8. Usual HDMI port plus USBs and audio in and out make it flexible to use with Xbox, Roku etc.
9. It looks simple, good quality and feels well made.
10. It’s bright enough to not have to have complete darkness to watch, though like all projectors, the darker the better. But still good to watch with low level lighting in the room.
11. Happily receives a 4k input. So many projectors on Amazon claim this, and then the video reviews show they don’t.
12. It comes well back aged with a good case. The transformer is housed within the projector. Power lead is a sensible length, 1.5m. The remote is good but very basic due to lack of Apps, so I use it alongside the Roku remote.
If you are looking for a nice, affordable projector, this will do the job.
It is under 300 and looks very good. The 1080p picture quality looks great with a decent enough contrast ratio for simple films and a bit of fun. It is nice and bright and you can comfortably watch it in a room with the lights off or outside at night.
It is easy to use, you can just connect any device using HDMI and it has a simple, intuitive remote. Although it is a nice projector, there is still a lot of misleading information like most budget projectors.
Firstly, it technically does support 4k however this is just for the input and it cannot display a 4k image. Secondly, it claims 21000 lumens which converts to around 700 ANSI lumens which is useable however you can’t really watch it in daylight.
Overall though, a nice budget projector that I would recommend.
So unboxing this item, it comes in a nice looking and well cushioned backpack holder for the projector & accessories. The item itself is a good weight and the backpack has adjustable straps and cushioning to make it comfortable when wearing and isn’t too heavy to cause strain on the shoulders or back.
Upon turning the projector on, it goes through an auto adjustment setting to show the best resolution and direction on the screen. It then loads up its own software which gives you access to the settings, options of Airplay or Miracast, WiFi & HDMI. This allows interaction with phone software as well as a direct output for a PC, with AV & Aux ports and two USB ports.
The picture is bright and colourful and the remote control and single adjustable foot at the front bottom gives great versatility of use whether this be something to have in lieu of a TV in the bedroom or for work presentations with many other uses in between.
When I hooked this up to my PC there was a noticeable input lag between moving my mouse and the reaction time on screen so I wouldn’t recommend this for competitive online gaming or even offline gaming where response times matter. But it should be fine for more casual/less intense gaming sessions as well as movies.
This is a fantastic little projector packing big features and for a good price that can be moved around and used in many different environments pretty much all purpose. There’s a good range of ventilation and although fan sound isn’t very loud, it can be a nuisance if too close or not matched with good audio output.
Overall though these are only little gripes and does very little to detract from the good things I have to say about this projector.
his is a great projector for creating that at home cinema feeling. Connects easily to the devices and plays well. Easy enough to set up . Images are nice and clear- well impressed with that. No issues so far.
This is my first home projector experience so I have nothing to compare it with except my expectations on todays technology. Firstly, I thought the unit will be smaller but it is still a bit big to be portable for me. It does come with a good and protective bag where it sits nicely so I don’t worry taking this on travels/camping. Very easy to set-up and use. With the backlit buttons on the unit or remote control. You need to supply your own 2 AAA batteries. The built-in speaker is decent, I don’t need to use a different speaker as it’s adequate for enclosed spaces. It autofocuses as soon as you turn in own but you can also adjust it manually. I did expect that you can now digitally zoom it but you still need to push the projector back to make the display bigger. It can be used as an overhead projector too but there is not fixings supplied for it or any points in the unit where you can attach it securely. Overall, this is a good start-up home projector for deskstop use. Screen mirroring thru apple devices is good and can also take inputs from USB ports and HDMI with cable supplied. The display is decent for the price and interface is very good for novices.
The projector has a built-in 5G WiFi and Bluetooth 5.2, which makes it easy to connect to my devices and stream content wirelessly. I can also use the touch button on the top of the projector to control the settings and adjust the focus and keystone. The projector has a 50% zoom function, which allows me to resize the image without moving the projector. The projector also comes with a HiFi speaker and a carrying case, which are nice bonuses.
The projector is easy to set up and use. It has multiple ports and supports various formats, so I can connect it to my laptop, phone, tablet, game console, USB drive, etc. The projector has a fan noise of 45dB, which is not too loud and does not bother me. The projector has a lamp life of 100000 hours, which means I can use it for a long time without worrying about replacing the bulb.
Overall, I am very happy with this projector. It is a great device for entertainment and education. It has a high-quality picture, a bright and vivid display, a fast and stable wireless connection, and a user-friendly design. I would recommend this projector to anyone who is looking for a powerful and versatile projector.
Topben Projector.
The projector arrives in the manufacturers branded box.
Inside the box is a projector, remote control, HDMI lead, power lead, phone lead, bolted foot and instruction guide as well as a backpack to store everything in.
This projector was so easy to set up, I was able to set it up without help from anyone even though I have never used a projector or even connected up a tv before. Very impressed with it’s simplicity as a new user.
*It is best to screw in the bolted for first as this is the height adjusting screw to give you a good angle for viewing from your bedside table.
Don’t be alarmed when you first start the projector that the fan appears to be really loud but it’s barely noticeable once you start your movie.
The images are crystal clear on my blank wall and I was super impressed by this especially as the wall is not totally glass type smoothness, all the text was as clear as reading from a tv screen.
Imagine the price of a tv for this size screen! I can even zoom in and out, how very clever.
After using this projector and seeing the quality of the picture I truly wonder if it is worth ever renewing a tv once it is broken. Projectors are small, neat and so compact and do not take up half of the wall space or have to be the main focal point in the house. It certainly would make furniture arranging a lot more pleasurable as you have more options and wall space too.
I recently ordered this 1080P native projector and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations. I primarily use it with my PS4 Pro and for screen mirroring from my iPad 9th gen, providing an excellent viewing experience for my kids.
The projector boasts a robust construction and comes with a handy case, resembling a backpack for convenient portability. Although not compact, it is reasonably bulky. While not entirely silent, the noise level is acceptable during operation.
Setting up the projector is very straight forward, with features like 5GHz Wi-Fi to avoid interferences (very easy to connect to Wi-fi networks), it has Bluetooth 5.2 and support for 8P/6D Keystone/50% Zoom. The auto-focus function works perfectly, delivering a crisp and vivid image that truly surprised me, especially compared to a similar model I own.
It runs on Android 9 with a Quad-core CPU MediaTek MT5862, 1GB RAM, and 3GB storage. Also. It uses an internal 1920x1080p display at 60Hz and 240 dpi for image projection, with a front 0.3MP camera used for auto-focus.
One notable drawback is the lack of fine focus adjustments and the inability to tweak brightness, contrast, or colour settings and some features and functions are only accessible using the remote control which could be a nightmare if it goes missing
Connecting to Bluetooth speakers was very straightforward and the sound quality even from the projector’s built-in speakers is very good.
The reliability and overall quality of this projector make it a worthwhile investment. Despite being 1080P native, its ability to effectively downscale 4K content, as demonstrated with my PS4 Pro, adds significant value.
I am very pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend it. The projector offers excellent value for money, making it an ideal choice for enhancing your home entertainment setup.
Wow! This is brilliant. I have to admit this is my first experience of using a projector so I have nothing to compare it with but I am well impressed with this. I wasn’t sure what to do when I received it but my 11 year old Grandson showed me how to ‘mirror’ my ipad onto the screen (luckily I painted our living room walls pure white last year!). I was able to sometimes watch iplayer by mirroring but it didn’t like Netflix or Prime. My solution was to go old school and attach my blu ray player and the my Virgin box by hdmi to the projector. Wow and double wow! Yes, just like being at the cinema. Bought a 6 metre hdmi cable from Amazon for 10 and I was sorted. Not sure what price it is going for now but when I got it I think it was about 390. For me it is worth it (and more) even though I see there are plenty of projectors on the market for around 150. Love it!
