Unboxing Experience
AAXA Pico+ MAX Mini Projector:
Upon receiving the projector, I was initially pleased with its compact design, which is ideal for my cookie decorating needs. However, the actual image quality left much to be desired; the colors appeared washed out and had an unfortunate purple tint that detracted from my decorating experience. The physical buttons on the projector were inconvenient, making it less user-friendly than I had hoped. Additionally, the device tended to heat up quickly during use, which raised concerns about its long-term durability.TMY Ultra Mini Projector:
I was immediately struck by the sleek and compact design of the TMY Ultra Mini Projector. It's incredibly portable, easily fitting into my hand or bag, making it a convenient choice for travel or outdoor use. The minimalist aesthetic adds a modern touch, and despite its small size, it feels well-built and sturdy. I appreciate how lightweight it is, which is a significant advantage when I'm looking to set up a movie night in various locations, from my bedroom wall to a camping site.AKASO WT50 Mini Projector:
The projector has a compact design, roughly the size of a Samsung Note, and is twice as thick. It feels well-built and has a quality weight to it, making it ideal for portability. The inclusion of a standard quarter-inch mounting screw is a thoughtful touch, allowing for easy attachment to any camera tripod. Overall, I find the aesthetics appealing and suitable for both casual and professional settings.Display

Viewing Experience
AAXA Pico+ MAX Mini Projector:
As a tool for cookie decorating, the projector served its purpose to some extent, making it easier to project templates onto cookies. However, the viewing experience was marred by poor image quality and sound issues. The brightness was not sufficient in well-lit environments, and I found myself needing to keep the projector plugged in due to its short battery life, which diminished its portability. The sound quality was also disappointing; when I managed to get it working, it was tinny and not suitable for enjoying media.TMY Ultra Mini Projector:
The viewing experience is impressive, especially considering the projector's size. The picture quality is vibrant and clear, with a decent resolution that brings movies and shows to life. While it performs best in dim lighting, I was pleasantly surprised by how well it held up in ambient light as well. I enjoyed watching videos on a large wall without compromising too much on quality. However, I did notice that the projection required some initial focus adjustments as the unit warmed up, but this minor issue resolved itself after a short period.AKASO WT50 Mini Projector:
The picture quality is impressive for a device of this size, delivering bright and crisp images even in moderately lit environments. I’ve had success stretching the image to about 15 feet without noticeable distortion. However, I did find that the projector performs best in complete darkness, which is standard for most devices in this category. The internal speaker, while decent, could use improvement, especially when projecting movies, but I was able to connect external speakers for an enhanced audio experience.Features

System Experience
AAXA Pico+ MAX Mini Projector:
Setting up the projector was relatively straightforward, even for someone who doesn't consider themselves tech-savvy. The Bluetooth connectivity from my phone was a significant advantage, allowing me to easily project images for cookie templates without the need for a computer. However, I encountered compatibility issues with several devices, which made it frustrating to use at times. I appreciated that it could mirror my phone, but this feature was inconsistent with various Android devices, limiting its versatility.TMY Ultra Mini Projector:
Setting up the TMY Ultra Mini Projector was a breeze. The user interface is intuitive, allowing me to get started within minutes. I found the various connectivity options, including HDMI, USB, and Bluetooth, to be incredibly versatile, accommodating multiple devices from smartphones to streaming sticks. I did encounter some initial frustration with screen mirroring from my iPhone due to copyright restrictions, but after hooking up a Fire TV Stick, everything worked seamlessly. Overall, the setup process is straightforward and user-friendly.AKASO WT50 Mini Projector:
Setting up the projector was mostly straightforward, though I encountered some initial confusion with the app installation. The projector comes pre-installed with apps like Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube, which worked well for the most part. However, I faced issues with downloading Disney+, and the HDMI connection was sometimes finicky. Despite these hiccups, once I got the hang of it, I appreciated the wireless setup and quick pairing capabilities, particularly with my phone.Conclusion
