Everything's great except for Netflix (XGIMI doesn't support it). The picture is awesome and setup is a breeze! The sound could be better, but you can easily hook it up to speakers.
 
I bought 3 projectors last year, but this one’s a keeper! Super clear picture and super quiet. Plus, their customer service is awesome—they helped me out fast and sorted everything!

Pros: Netflix works great; nice for switching up angles.
Cons: Not as clear as mono 2 pro; fewer apps than mono 2 pro; probably not worth it if you just want Netflix.
