First Impressions​

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. The projector has two 5W Harman/Kardon speakers, so you won't need to worry about connecting it to a soundbar or audio system when bringing it with you.
This 1080p DLP projector uses an LED bulb as its light source, and it is rated for up to 25,000 hours by the manufacturer, so you likely won't ever have to worry about replacing it.

Viewing Experience
Overall Impression: The projector offers decent performance for dark room viewing, with good brightness uniformity and a wide color gamut that covers most of the Rec. 709 color space. However, its peak brightness is mediocre, making it less suitable for environments with ambient light, and the contrast ratio is only okay, resulting in noticeable raised blacks. While it excels in uniformity and color coverage, the inaccuracies in certain colors may detract from the viewing experience for some users.
