Title: You will be happy if you have the right expectations
Review: This projector is excellent for the price. I paid $99. (A $20 coupon was available for some reason which brought it down to $99 from $119)For night-time viewing with no grand expectations you will be pleased.It got a genuine "wow" from the wife and kids. They've watched a few hours on it so far with delight.We have an Apple TV plugged into it.NOTEIf you are the kind of person that will fret over non-premium features then you may need to step up to something at least 6x the price (but ideally >20x the price) to avoid triggering your nerves. This is a fantastic budget buy... don't buy it with the wrong expectations.SOUND:Like other reviewers I expected garbage sound quality from the internal speaker and was therefore surprised that it was similar to a half-decent little portable USB speaker. I plan to use external speakers but the internal one didn't get any negative comments from the initial audience (of undiscerning family members) which is a pleasant bonus. Great to just be able to throw up a movie with almost zero setup.FOCUS & KEYSTONE:It has a mechanical keystone. You shift a roller and it presumably tilts one of the lenses inside (probably all-plastic internal components made with the kind of manufacturing tolerances you'd expect at this price point). On the plus side, this mechanical keystone means you can quickly straighten up the image on the wall +/- 15 degrees. However, you will discover that the image cannot be uniformly focused when keystone is being used. If you use keystone you will have to focus the center of the image and tolerate some focus imperfection at the top and bottom of the frame.The focus is also a mechanical roller. Even at a perfectly level projection angle (i.e. no keystone, where the bottom of the projected image is precisely in line with the lens of the projector) you may need to tolerate some minor focus imperfections. I don't use any keystone on mine and the extremities are less crisp than the rest of the image. I can notice it when projecting text (e.g. the text at the top-right of the Netflix interface) but it is minor and doesn't impair the experience watching tv/movies. When I pointed it out to my wife she didn't care. Nobody cares.If you buy this expecting optics developed in a Swiss engineering lab with professional grade tolerances you should probably take another look at the price... it's not than kind of product.THROW SIZE:There is no mechanical zoom. We have it mounted on a wall in a room that is 11 feet to the opposite wall (i.e. the *back* of the projector is 11 feet from the projection wall). At this distance our image has a diagonal of ~106 inches.There is a digital "zoom" function in the menus that let you reduce the picture size... probably at the cost of some fidelity. Good to have that feature in a pinch but we aren't using it.BRIGHTNESS:At 11 feet out the brightness is decent for watching at night. That is all that we want it for. Again, the wife and kids were stoked.You will probably not want to use it with the lights on (washes it out) and certainly not in any daylight, so don't buy it to replace an all-purpose TV. Also, don't try to make side-by-side comparisons with your LCD/LED/OLED TV... contrast in dark scenes will be far inferior and brightness in general will be far less uniform. If you project an entirely "black" screen you will see a range of slightly lighter and darker areas. Again, nobody in my house noticed or cared and I was happy to count the money I saved. To get a projector that will work with lots of ambient light and produce a very uniform brightness you really need to jump a long way up the price ladder. What you get out of this projector is very solid for the money.MANUAL & ACCESSORIES:I haven't tried out the included basic projection screen. It's a soft fabric with eight metal eyelets around it (one in each corner and one half-way along each side). They ship it with 8 plastic hooks and 8 tabs of double-sided tape so you can mount it on a wall without drilling. It has a black outer border. Seems fine. Nice touch including it... adds to the crazy good value of this product.The remote is fine (uses 2x AAA).They include all the cables you need: VGA, HDMI, power (US style). They all work.The included manual is clear and covers most of what you might want to know. TMY invites you to contact them by email for support. I haven't needed to do that yet so I can't say how responsive they are.OTHER COMMENTSFan noise is comparable to other projectors of this size (in my experience) and so is no cause for special praise or complaint. We're happy with it.I can't comment on the color fidelity etc. because I'm somewhat color blind. All I can say is, you see vibrant colors, there is some image configurability in the menus and nobody had anything bad to say about the colors. I'm sure if you started testing it's color space you'd find all kinds of limitations but... again... nobody cares.I've asked my teenage son what he thought of the color just now and his answer was "I don't think any of us have any problem with the projector dad. It's great."TMY *are* incentivizing reviews on Amazon by offering a gift. There is a little insert card in the box along with the manual. It says "Happy with this purchase: 1. Share your experience by leaving an honest Review" and then it shows a picture of five stars. So I guess they are not specifically asking people to leave a five star review to get a reward but they are hinting at it pretty strongly. They also say "Not happy with this purchase: 1. Please give us a chance before you leave a 1-3 star review on Amazon or return the product" and then they ask you to please contact them directly to get a solution/replacement/refund etc. I think it's kind'a fair enough? Not much different to what hotels do to try getting their online reviews up. I'd decided to leave a review before I saw this card... I mention it in case people reading the reviews would like to know of potential influence.I have only had the projector a couple of days so I can't comment on longevity. They do claim to offer a 3 year warranty. I will update my review if it bombs out though.SUMMARYIt works and it's mind-bending value. How can you produce something like this profitably for $99 let alone ship it and let Amazon take their cut? Taking the family out for dinner and movie (back when that was allowed) would easily consume that amount of cash. I just hope it lasts. Very happy so far.

Title: Great budget projector!
Review: The 1080p Mini Projector is an excellent option for those looking for an affordable and compact home theater experience. Right out of the box, the setup is a breeze, making it perfect for users of all skill levels. The package includes everything you need: the projector, an HDMI cable, and even a screen, which is a thoughtful addition for those without a dedicated projection surface.In terms of performance, the projector delivers a crisp 1080p resolution, which is impressive for its size. The image quality holds up well in moderately lit rooms, though it shines best in darker environments. Colors are vibrant, and the details are sharp, making it ideal for movies, gaming, or presentations.One of the standout features is its ease of use. With a simple plug-and-play design, you can connect devices like laptops, gaming consoles, or streaming sticks via the HDMI port without any hassle. The controls are intuitive, and adjusting focus and keystone correction is straightforward.Overall, this mini projector offers great value for its price. It's portable, easy to set up, and provides a clear, immersive viewing experience, making it a perfect addition to any home entertainment setup.

Title: Did great for what I needed
Review: Pro: Good projection quality. Played videos from my phone and the video was great.I bought the projector to display pictures on the wall to trace. It worked perfectly.Cons: The only issues I had were the sound when playing some of the videos was not great. I fixed this problem by Bluetooth a separate speaker to my phone while playing the video.Would love a was to brighten or dim what is being projected. I tried to do this on my phone but it did not change the projection. Projected image was still visible, so it did not interfere, but it would be nice.Note: It took me a very long time to set up my phone. You do have to buy a special cable that goes from your phone to the HDMI outlet. It has Bluetooth but it is strictly for sound not projection. You have to turn on "DEX" on your phone. Found the icon in my top selections when I pull down my screen.
