This is my first projector, though, I’ve seen others for comparison. I bought this as a gift for my kids’ birthday so they could have movie days in their bedrooms without needing TVs installed. For that purpose, it’s great. It’s a fantastic option as an affordable alternative to having TVs in their rooms, which we don’t want to do yet. Outside of that use, it’s pretty cool for a price well below TVs with 100″+ displays.
The picture quality isn’t close to that of a TV. The lumens/brightness is very low, which means the contrast also is. That makes the picture look flat without any “pop.” Very dark films, such as The Batman, struggle to show shadow details, while brighter films like Midsommar struggle to get as bright as the director intended. Images also tend to lack overall detail and sharpness, so the quality is usually soft and flat, as mentioned.
On the other hand, there’s no substitute for screen size. While a large TV has a much better picture, it’ll struggle to deliver the same cinematic experience that a large projected size delivers, especially at such a low price. For $120, this projector delivers a PHENOMENAL value. Also, we just project onto a wall or bedsheet for now. If paired with an actual screen, it might look a little better.
Setup is simple. There are dials for focus and tilt and menu options for projection size, aspect ratio, audio, etc. We simply connect a blu-ray player or Roku stick in the HDMI port and have instant HD viewing options.
The built-in audio is surprisingly good, especially its volume capability. The unit seemingly doesn’t have bluetooth capabilities to connect to exterior speakers, however, we’ve had no problems with connecting the Roku stick and blu-ray player to exterior speakers for better sound when desired. Also, the fan is impressively quiet and never detracts from the viewing experience.
In the end, it’s a great buy at $120 and does what I hoped. This is an entry level mini projector that won’t impress videophiles. However, if you’re not worried about having the absolute best picture on the market and would be happy with a “good enough” massive image, I highly recommend this projector.

This projector is awesome so far. I’ve had it a few weeks and have no big complaints. I love how this projector has so many different options to view items from it. I’ve tested most of the options and love it; my cellphone mirrors wonderfully, the laptop was an easy hook up, my older firestick was an instant success, and I even have a few movies on a jump drive and the projector played them too. The sound from the little projector is very well for its size. I did order external speakers just because when were outside we want to be able to hear those low conversation sometimes movies have.
I live in FL and we mostly live outside and we wanted something different and fun for the summer. It’s been a super simple set up each time I’ve taken it placed. Plus it came with a case so traveling with it is easy and it has a remote which is a nice feature.
Overall I’m happy I purchased this one, it does everything I want it to do and even more. I’m thinking about buying another one for my bedroom. The picture quality it very nice and makes me look forward to watching movies.

Granted I’ve only had this for a couple of days so this isn’t a long term review by any means
For the price especially if you get in on sale this can be a steal
So far I’m pretty satisfied
In the box it comes with a carrying bag and HDMI cable a remote (batteries not included and it needs triple AAA batteries)
And obviously the power cord and projector
For 1080p in 2022 this projector doesn’t look bad at all
Granted it may take some tries to find the perfect placement for the projector but that is just the beauty of having a projector
Definitely recommend if you want a big screen but don’t want to pay $500-$1000 for a big screen tv

I had been searching for weeks for a low budget projector with great resolution. I came to this one read the reviews and everyone saying it’s great for the price. I decided to give it a try and i am in love with it. Picture, color, sound is amazing. I was surprised that the speakers are loud and clear. The only issue I have is that the projector buzzes a little to loud but that’s expected. If you have the volume up you can barely hear it. I have the projector hit a light grey wall and picture is still great.
