Conclusion​

Product	PROS AND CONS​
KODAK FLIK X4​	Pros • Nice big screen size, projecting up to 150 inches • Easy setup and user-friendly, even for children • Multiple connection options: VGA, HDMI, USB, SD card • Clear image quality in dark environments • Compact design with powerful performance • Satisfactory for everyday use, not just for special occasions • Accessories included enhance overall experience Cons • Requires cables for connection, no Bluetooth or Wi-Fi streaming • Zoom in and out knob may be faulty or difficult to turn • Special cables needed for certain devices like iPads and iPhones • Sound quality is average; external speaker may be necessary for larger spaces • Focus adjustment could be improved Overall Impression The projector is a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable and versatile option for both casual movie nights and daily use. Its ease of setup, large screen capability, and multiple connection options make it user-friendly. However, potential buyers should be aware of the cable requirements and some minor limitations in sound quality and focus adjustment. Overall, it offers great value for the price and is likely to satisfy most users.
KODAK FLIK X1​	Pros: • Nostalgic appeal of the Kodak brand • USB port supports flash drives and plays multiple video formats effectively • Simple setup and easy navigation when using a flash drive • Compact size is portable and easy to store • Can connect to a tripod or camera stand Cons: • Lacks Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity • USB port only supports flash drives, not direct phone connections • Outdated menu interface reminiscent of the 1990s • Grainy image resolution; requires complete darkness for optimal viewing • Weak internal speakers; may need additional speakers for better audio • No stand or tripod included; requires additional purchase for proper positioning • Can overheat during extended use without additional cooling Overall Impression: The KODAK FLIK X1 Mini Pico Projector offers a nostalgic experience but falls short in modern usability. While it effectively plays videos from flash drives and is easy to set up, its lack of contemporary features like wireless connectivity and poor image and audio quality make it a less appealing choice for today’s consumers. Given the outdated technology and the need for additional accessories for optimal use, it may not be worth the investment for most users.
