First Impressions​

At first glance, the projector has a modern and sleek design that fits well in my small apartment without adding clutter. The compact size makes it easy to place on a shelf or even take with me for portability. The aesthetic is understated, which I appreciate, as it doesn't draw too much attention when not in use.

Viewing Experience
The viewing experience has been a mixed bag. While the image quality is decent, especially in darker environments, I found that the auto-focus and keystone correction features leave much to be desired. On several occasions, I had to repeatedly adjust the focus manually, which detracted from the overall enjoyment of watching movies. The sound quality is also hit or miss—while it rivals a portable Bluetooth speaker in some ways, it lacks the depth I was hoping for, especially when projecting content for larger audiences.

• **Pros**:
- Built-in speakers provide decent sound.
- Integrated Google TV simplifies streaming.
- Multiple input options available for connecting devices.

• **Cons**:
- Poor performance in bright rooms.
- Autofocus and keystone correction are unreliable.
- Limited to 1080p resolution.

System Experience
Setting up the projector was a breeze; I was impressed by how quickly it connected to my Google account and pulled in all my apps seamlessly. The user interface is intuitive, allowing me to navigate through options without feeling overwhelmed. However, I did encounter some technical difficulties during setup, including freezing issues, but thankfully, tech support was responsive and helped resolve the focus problems.

User Feedback​

Overall Impression:
Overall, this projector has its strengths and weaknesses. While I am genuinely surprised at the value for the price, especially with the built-in Google TV, the shortcomings in focus adjustment and sound quality make it less suitable for entertaining guests. For personal use in a smaller space, it serves its purpose well, but I wouldn't recommend it for larger gatherings or critical viewing experiences.
 
We got this gadget to set up a home theater for the kids, and it was super easy to install! The interface is a breeze to use. We had a little hiccup getting it to focus on a white wall, but the tech support was awesome and sorted it out quickly. Now we’ve got a cool, budget-friendly way to stream, connect to cable, YouTube, and even use Bluetooth speakers on the go. Totally recommend it!

Pros: The brightness and auto-focus are solid, plus it works with Google TV and Chromecast.

Cons: No Miracast or Airplay support. You can't cast your phone screen unless you're on the same WiFi and logged into Google Play, or if you download another app. Even budget projectors let you cast without WiFi. That's why I'm sending it back.
