The projector has a sleek and unobtrusive design that fits well in my small bedroom, seamlessly filling the wall without overpowering the space. I appreciate the minimalistic aesthetic, which allows it to blend in easily with the surroundings. Its compact size makes it easy to place on a top shelf near the ceiling, where I’ve propped it up to achieve the desired angle for viewing. Overall, it looks modern and functional, making it a welcome addition to my setup.

Viewing Experience
The viewing experience has been impressive, especially considering it doesn’t explicitly advertise as a 4K device. The brightness and clarity of the image are commendable, and it easily fills the wall space in my room. I occasionally notice a slight flicker, but it quickly resolves itself and doesn't detract from my enjoyment, especially as I primarily use it for personal viewing. Streaming events like UFC fights has been an absolute pleasure, and I’m thrilled with the performance during those moments.

• Bright and clear picture
• Easy to set up and adjust
• Instant on/off functionality
• Good performance for streaming

• Occasional flickering
• Requires some adjustment for optimal positioning

System Experience
Setting up the projector was straightforward, and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to adjust the levels and corners for a perfect image. Although the instructions suggest using a bracket to mount it upside down, I opted for a simpler solution by placing it on a high shelf. Even with this unconventional setup, I was able to achieve a satisfying projection without any significant issues. The instant on/off feature is a game-changer, eliminating the typical waiting time associated with other projectors.

User Feedback​

Overall Impression:
Overall, I am very satisfied with this projector. It has exceeded my expectations, especially compared to other models I've used in the past. The quality of the image, combined with its ease of use and setup, makes it a worthwhile investment. Whether for personal use or in a community setting like my church, this projector has proven to be reliable and effective. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a solid projector option.
