The projector has a fairly lightweight design and has an integrated battery, so its easy to carry around. It has full auto keystone correction, autofocus, intelligent screen alignment, and obstacle avoidance, so you dont need to do manual image corrections on this projector, making it easy to set up.

Viewing Experience
The overall impression of the projector is that it is best suited for use in dark environments, where it can deliver a satisfactory viewing experience due to its good brightness uniformity and wide color gamut. However, its peak brightness is mediocre, making it less ideal for rooms with ambient light, and the contrast ratio is only okay, which can lead to raised blacks. While it provides decent color coverage, there are inaccuracies in certain colors. Overall, it performs adequately for darker settings but may fall short in brighter conditions.
