I'm considering getting this Portable Mini Projector and would love some feedback from anyone who has experience with it.

First off, how is the picture quality? The specs mention it supports 1080P and has a decent contrast ratio, but does it actually deliver sharp and vibrant images, especially in low-light settings?

Also, I've read that it has built-in HiFi stereo speakers. How does the sound quality hold up? Is it enough for a cozy movie night, or would I need to invest in external speakers for a better experience?

I’m particularly interested in how easy it is to set up and connect various devices—does it really handle multiple inputs seamlessly? And are there any potential downsides to be aware of, like limitations with brightness in certain environments or issues with durability?

I’m hoping to use it for both indoor movie nights and outdoor camping trips, so any insights would be super helpful. Thanks!
