System Experience​

When I decided to look for a projector, my main goal was to find something that would fit my needs without breaking the bank. I found this model, which is compact and easy to set up. I appreciated the variety of ports available, which made connecting my devices straightforward. However, I did find it a bit frustrating that there were no included instructions, and I had to scramble to get the right cables locally. The absence of a 12-volt option was also a letdown since I was hoping to use it in my toy hauler.

Viewing Experience​

Honestly, the picture quality didn’t live up to my expectations. While I wasn't aiming for a 4K experience, I still hoped for something clearer and brighter. The resolution is quite low, and the dimness of the image made it difficult to see anything unless I was in a completely dark room. I had hoped to use it for projecting videos outdoors, but it fell short in that area. It’s definitely more suitable for sketching and tracing rather than watching movies.

Other Experience​

I had a mixed bag of experiences while using this projector. On the one hand, it did function well enough for my art projects; I was able to project images for tracing, which was a plus. On the other hand, I struggled with the sound quality since the built-in speaker was quite weak. Fortunately, I found that plugging in a small external speaker improved the audio significantly. I also encountered some technical issues when trying to connect it to my laptop, which was disappointing.

Conclusion​

Pros:
One of the standout features for me was the portability of the projector. It’s lightweight and easy to move around, making it a convenient option for various settings. Additionally, the price was quite reasonable for what I received, especially when compared to other models on the market. I also appreciated the quick response from customer support when I had questions about my setup, which made the overall experience a bit smoother.

Cons:
Unfortunately, there were quite a few cons that impacted my overall satisfaction. The projection quality was definitely lacking, with a fuzzy image that made it hard to enjoy any videos. I also found it frustrating that the projector didn’t work well in bright conditions, limiting its usability outdoors. The lack of clear instructions added to the overall inconvenience, and I wished for a better user manual to ease the setup process.

Overall Evaluation:
In conclusion, while this projector has its merits, it ultimately fell short of my expectations for multimedia use. It serves its purpose for art projects but is not suitable for entertainment purposes like outdoor movie nights. I would recommend it if you’re looking for something budget-friendly and primarily for tracing, but if you’re seeking a quality viewing experience, it’s probably worth investing in a more robust model.

I sent it back. The projection was a total flop. Honestly, it felt more like a toy for little kids—like something you'd give them to play around with, kind of like a viewfinder.
 
Honestly, this thing is a total disaster. I can't find a single good thing to say about it. The picture is all fuzzy, the controls are a pain, and it feels like a cheap toy. Seriously, save your cash and skip this one!

Man, this thing is just a hot mess! It’s super noisy and doesn’t work right at all. Seriously, trying to control it is like wrestling a greased pig!

So, here’s the deal: none of the input ports on this projector were working except for the one for the PC. I tried calling customer service for help, but all I got was a voicemail box and zero callbacks. Honestly, just skip this projector and grab one from somewhere else. Trust me!
