Also, my customer service experience with Tudy was fantastic! She was extremely helpful and responded to my emails quickly!!!
My only issue is that the remote it came with didn’t work. I contacted support and they will be sending me a replacement. I’ve only been using it for about a month, but I’ll update on how well it lasts when I’ve had it for longer.
The DVD player have requires that port so I will be having to get an adapter if one exists for that.
Otherwise, everything else is great. Incredible picture quality at 12 feet away.
It’s SO clear and has built in speaker in it which is loud enough for my room!!!
Highly recommend!!!!!!!!
I’ve connected this to my PS5 to try it out and what a game changer. I went from a standard 50 inch tv in my living room to over 100 inches of screen in the comfort of my bed. I get no input lag at all which was one of my biggest fears especially with FPS. But playing BF6 and ARC raiders I’ve had no issues whatsoever, except in really dark scenes but it’s tolerable.
I only have 3 complaints. The first is the quality of the speakers. It sounds very flat and cheap like a speaker out of a kids toy. But you can easily pair up a quality Bluetooth speaker and adjust the audio/picture sync settings and it works great. It doesn’t bother me personally but if you don’t have a BT speaker keep this in mind.
My other complaint is the dark scenes. You can’t adjust the brightness on this. But it is what it is for the price. Bright to even medium low light picture looks fantastic. But it can be sometimes hard to see anything when the scene is in a very low light especially with a light source in the room you’re in.
My other complaint is the control. For whatever reason I can’t turn it on with the remote I have to reach over and power it on manually. Remote is cheap and you have to angle it at just the right angle to get it to work.
Overall would I buy this again? Absolutely. You can’t beat this quality for the price. My complaints are to a certain extent manageable. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to get a 100+ inch quality screen without spending a fortune.
The picture quality is surprisingly great clear, bright, and big enough to fill an entire wall.
It creates the coziest atmosphere at home and is perfect for movie nights.
I also bought a Fire TV Stick, so using this projector is super easy everything connects instantly and works smoothly.
The sound is good, and the projector itself is quiet enough
For this price, the entertainment value is amazing.
Totally worth it!
For the price I really do not think you can go wrong buying this entry level projector as my old one was almost $200 back in the day and I picked up the Happrun H1 on super sale for just over $50. And yes the image of the menu is reversed, I set it that way in the menu so the image would be correct in front of the home, if not any written words would appear backwards LOL...
Edit: Adding a star because their customer support team is stellar.
Update I connected it to a roku stick, I cant get the volume controls to work with it but using the normal remote its totally fine. My wall isnt white (more gray blue) but it still looks very nice and ive felt no need to get something to project it on. My only vomment is that the in buit speaker is DEFINITLY low quality. Does that really matter though? Not really. They make it very easy to connect it to whatever youd like.
Compact
Quiet
Great image quality
Vibrant colors
Affordable price
Great sound
I've only tested it for 1 day but so far I'm highly impressed for the price. I don't have anything bad to say so far. I haven't tested it for gaming yet but for streaming it's awesome.
Connecting it to my wifi was easy, same with setting it up to a laptop or my phone. The only thing I couldn't seem to get it to connect to was a splitter to be able to charge my phone though the projector and be able to use it to stream at the same time without having to mirror my phone but connect directly into my phone .
You can hear the fan a little bit with projector but that is expected with most everything when it comes to it. I just make sure there is enough air flow around it on all sides and nothing is blocking it so that it is cool. The speaker on the projector is okay. Mainly why I took one star off but it does have the ability to blue tooth. So when I want to watch an action movie or something that I want the sound to be basically movie theater loud almost I will either hook into my wireless speaker, or head phones if am watching it late at night.
I like the fact you can change the contrast and the density with the colors. This allows you to customize what you are using it for. I mainly use it for movies an shows so I keep it on the theater setting gives me the best viewing for that. You also can adjust the zoom for the size of screen you want it to project to which you can see it adjusting while doing so its not a guessing game on the size you are picking. It allows you to fit it to what you are projecting on. You also can pick what type of screen you are projecting such at full, wide, 16:1 etc.
I did hook a roku into it. That wasn't hard to do. The only thing that I had to figure out was when it asked you to pick what brand you were using to control the power and volume. I had to google that. I think I just randomly selected tell it let me move on from that part but once it did basically did the rest for me with the set up.
Over all good projector. Cost is good. The speaker could be better. Knowing what to pick for roku or streaming sticks would be nice.
The projectors themselves are of exceptional quality, delivering great performance every time. It’s rare to find a company that consistently delivers both excellent products and top-tier service. Highly recommended!
Don't get me wrong, it's dim and blurry and the colors are meh compared to a TV or quality projector, but.... For $80 and some fan noise, if you've got a dark room, you can watch 1080p or less quality stuff of a giant screen.
Happrun has a newer model the J7 Pro, this one was only a few dollars more and resolved the issues i had with the h1 and it is better in every way.
I highly recommend this device!
I was surprised how bright it is. I have a light tan-ish slightly textured paint on this rental, so I know this isn't the best it can look. I can't get it to be super sharp like a newer TV or anything... so using this as a monitor for like Excel and stuff may not be the best, but you can definitely game and watch stuff on it without an issue.
There's a bunch of settings and things you can change, I've not really done much other than get it set up on my shelf.
You're 100% going to need to connect speakers to this. I typically will use either my laptop and have the projector as a second screen and then I can use my bluetooth headset or speakers. For the price point it's at, I think you're getting a pretty fair deal.
I've never had a projector until now. I think eventually I will upgrade to another more expensive model... but that won't be for a long time.
One of the best parts was how many apps were already installed. Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video — all the big ones were there. And if there was anything missing, downloading more apps was just as easy through the built-in app store. The interface is clean and easy to navigate, which made the whole experience even smoother.
The picture quality blew me away. It’s super crisp, vibrant, and looks great even in rooms with a little ambient light. The audio was also surprisingly good for a projector. I expected to need a soundbar, but the built-in speakers were more than enough for casual movie nights.
All in all, this projector has been a fantastic addition to my setup. Whether you’re streaming, gaming, or just watching a movie, it delivers great performance without any hassle. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality projector!
The native 1080p resolution with 4K decoding delivers sharp, vibrant visuals, especially on a 150-inch screen in a darkened room. Watching The Mandalorian on Disney+ via the built-in Google TV felt like a private cinema experience, with HDR10+ enhancing color and contrast. The 350 ANSI lumens brightness holds up well in low-light settings. The included Dolby Audio speakers provide clear sound for casual viewing, but I connected a Bluetooth soundbar for deeper bass during action films.
Setup was a breeze - plug-and-play with Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 ensuring smooth streaming and device pairing. The Google TV interface is a standout, offering instant access to Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video with a responsive voice remote. Connectivity is versatile, with HDMI, USB, and Google Cast/AirPlay support for my laptop and gaming console.
Pros: Stunning 4K visuals, seamless Google TV integration, easy setup, great value, solid connectivity.
This projector is ideal for budget-conscious home theater enthusiasts or outdoor movie nights. It’s not a high-end beamer, but for the price, it’s a steal for anyone seeking a big-screen experience. Pair it with a quality screen and speakers for maximum impact.
It’s easy to set up on a tripod and the Bluetooth functionality works well with my receiver, albeit with a very small audio delay. It doesn't get bright enough for normal daytime usage, but works fine for dark-room movie nights.
It punches above its weight at its small size and price. I’m sure it’ll be a regular highlight of our family movie nights and camping trips.
Edit 7/14/25: We’ve been using this projector for our movie nights for a few weeks now and I still feel the same way I did in the rest of my review, however, I’m deducting one star for a minor recurring issue. The projector doesn’t have a very good dust filter so it is quite prone to debris getting inside the chassis and showing up on the image as black or white spots. You can open the unit from the bottom (under the sticker) and clean, but you must be very careful when doing this to not make the problem worse.
This might not really be a con, but the speaker is about what most projector speakers are; meaning that it's not particularly high output but handles indoor fine. The edges of the picture are not as crisp as the middle, especially the more severe the keystone correction is. The hum of the projector is a little higher pitched than some other projectors I've had, but less noticeable once you've got some audio going.
Overall it is certainly a solid projector on this price range.
It’s currently at 90 inches. This Google projector says it could go up to 300 so I’m not even using its full capacity but yeah it’s pretty kool.
I think the visual is even better in person But I’m making my wife a “house gym”in the garage, I think it will do its job.
The one thing I do not like is the brightness of the projector. I’ve seen other brands that gets a brighter or at least give you the option to do so.
Image and video quality are excellent, with clear 4K UHD resolution that looks great both indoors and outdoors. Colors are vibrant and the picture stays sharp even on larger screens.
Another thing I really appreciated was the compact and efficient packaging — everything was neatly packed and easy to unbox. Plus, unlike many other projectors that come with bulky power bricks, this one connects directly with an AC cable, which is much more convenient and saves space.
I also like that it offers flexible audio options. The built-in Dolby sound is solid for casual viewing, but I was easily able to connect external speakers via Bluetooth for a more immersive setup — totally optional but great to have the choice.
Overall, a very well-rounded projector that's perfect for movies, gaming, or streaming — definitely recommend it!
-Bluetooth capability for audio out to a soundbar or headphones.
-Decent size screen
-Decent resolution
-Medium background noise. I've definitely heard louder fans, but this one isn't silent either. The fans are obviously runing while usinig the projector but the movie sound drowns them out.
-The bulb is bright enough to see in dim light but not daylight.
-It doesn't seem to run too hot, the fan blows warm air but not hot or concernng.
-Easy connection to wifi and app downloads for all your streaming needs.
-Includes ports for physical media hookups as well.
The projector size is fairly small, it would easily fit in a backpack or a computer bag. The cap covering the front lens is a nice feature to protect the glass. Overall it's a good price for a nice projector.
The 4K resolution clearly is a step above an older 720P projector I had been using with a Roku plugged into it. Fewer connections makes for a more seamless experience. WiFi connection was fast and simple. The projector itself is compact and lightweight.
The projector excels in my basement, where I have projected the image onto a white wall. Adjustments are simple with the manual focus wheel and manual keystone. The remote is well-built and logical and uses two AAA batteries (not included.)
Included in the box are an HDMI cable, AV adapter cable, lens cap and what appears to be cleaning swabs (haven't needed to look into using those yet).
Overall, this projector is a huge step up for anyone who wants 4K resolution with integrated Google TV accessibility and ease all while staying on a reasonable budget.
With this projector the built in Google TV works really well and is super convenient. It’s responsive, no lags when navigating menus or anything like that. Now I’m able to just power the projector and watch from whatever streaming service I want to. A big bonus that is great for my young kids — the remote has voice control.
The tripod mount was a must for me. I have a simple lighting stand with a ball head that I connect the projector to and that allows me to raise the height and change the angle as needed — with the keystone adjustments it’s quite flexible.
I’ve been using this in my kids’ room for movie nights — simply pointing it toward a white wall — and the quality is fantastic. Super sharp and plenty bright, even with some ambient light or setting sun spilling in the room.
Based on the image quality and especially the built in Google TV, I can recommend this projector if you’re looking for something that can work on its own!
- Its size is only about half of my old one. The weight is very light.
- The setup/adjustment is very easy. It can do all things on the remote control except focusing. It also has a 1/4 inch thread hole for tripods, hanging.
- This is google TV so it is very easy to use especially since I am an android user. All the apps I need are all there after I sync my account. The remote control has shortcut buttons for popular apps Netflix, Youtube, Prime Video I use everyday.
- The picture is sharp, bright and clear.
- The mono speaker is only 5W. The sound is clear but I wish it would be louder when you use it outdoors . However, it is connected with my receiver through Bluetooth quickly and easily so I can look for an outdoor bluetooth speaker with it.
- The only thing I do not know about the durability of this projector compared with my old one. I just changed the first bulb on my old one last year.
However, some users have noted that the image sharpness can be inconsistent, particularly at the edges of the screen. Additionally, while the projector performs admirably in controlled lighting conditions, its brightness may not suffice for daytime outdoor use .

📺 Smart Features & Streaming
One of the standout features of this projector is its integration with Google TV, providing access to a wide array of streaming apps like Netflix, Prime Video, and YouTube without the need for external devices. The inclusion of Google Assistant allows for voice-controlled navigation, enhancing user convenience .
The projector supports both Google Cast and AirPlay, facilitating seamless content sharing from smartphones, tablets, or laptops. This versatility ensures compatibility across various devices and platforms. 
⸻
🔊 Audio Quality
Equipped with built-in dual stereo speakers, the HAPPRUN projector delivers clear and balanced sound suitable for casual viewing. For those seeking a more immersive audio experience, the projector’s Bluetooth 5.2 capability allows for easy connection to external speakers or headphones .
It’s worth noting that while the built-in speakers are adequate for indoor use, they may not provide sufficient volume for outdoor settings.
⸻
📡 Connectivity & Compatibility
The projector offers a comprehensive range of connectivity options, including dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4G and 5G), Bluetooth 5.2, HDMI, USB, AV, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. This array of ports ensures compatibility with various devices such as gaming consoles, laptops, smartphones, and streaming sticks .
However, some users have reported occasional Wi-Fi connectivity issues, necessitating router resets to restore the connection .
⸻
🛠️ Setup & Portability
The HAPPRUN projector features auto-focus and 6D keystone correction, simplifying the setup process and ensuring a clear, rectangular image within seconds of startup. Its compact dimensions (9.5 x 8.3 x 3.8 inches) and lightweight design enhance portability, making it suitable for various settings, including bedrooms, backyards, or camping trips .
Having Google TV built-in is a huge plus — you get direct access to all the major apps like Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, and more without needing an extra streaming device. The interface is smooth and user-friendly.
The picture quality is very good, especially in a dark room. It’s not meant for bright daytime viewing, but when the lights are off, the brightness, colors, and sharpness really stand out. Movies, shows, and even sports look great. The built-in speakers are decent for casual watching, but you might want external speakers for a full theater-like experience.
I also appreciate the decent amount of ports available, making it easy to connect other devices if needed.
One improvement I’d like is auto keystone correction — while manual keystone works fine, auto adjustment would make it even more convenient for quick setup.
Remote control has enough shortcut button for apps.
Overall, this projector is perfect for small rooms or bedrooms. It's a great value for the price, offers solid performance, and feels like a true smart entertainment system thanks to Google TV. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for an easy-to-use, high-quality projector for a dark room setup!
First of all, the image quality blew me away. The colors are bright and vivid and in a dark room they looks much more better and doesn't hurt eyes as it runs the videos smoother. I've been watching my favorites shows and movies and feels like i am in a theater room.
Setting was super easy, just as simple to login and boom we are ready to go, but i think a google account is a must. Came with AV cable, HDMI cable, cleaning kit and a remote (no batteries included), at this price expected it. There are 2 USB and 1 HDMI ports.
This projector offers some great features like auto focus, auto keystone, and supports multiple picture and sound modes and an integrated Google TV. External devices can also be connected thru AV or HDMI cable.
Remote usage was super easy with dedicated buttons for Prime, Netflix, YouTube which is useful as i use these frequently. Google TV is how you access your video apps in this projector. The remote can be used without pointing towards projector that's a plus.
Fan noise doesn't bother me as its constant and does not increase when the projector gets hotter. The built quality of this projector is also good with big lens. The process to clean the lens is mentioned in the instructions which is very useful.
I am very happy with this projector and feel a good quality with less cables, less mess when using a Google TV. Its really a great projector that delivers great performance without much load on the wallet.
The setup was fairly painless once you get it on your network. I have another connected Google device, so the process was familiar. It came with a lens cap and a full cleaning kit. A nice surprise. My only criticism is that when you use the keystone correction to compensate for an offset projection angle, you will have to sacrifice a little clarity in the focus (center of the screen is sharp and top and bottom are soft). But its worth noting this is a very common issue with projectors in this price range and not the fault of this manufacturer. I choose to live with a slight skew (keystone) and have a sharper image all over. Once the movie/Show starts, I really don't notice it.
The picture quality is quite clear although it's only 1080p. But it's a Well will projector and the software is pretty standard. It does come with some bloatware such as other useless TV apps that aren't as popular or you may have never heard of before. I believe that you are getting a really good value for this projector. It's fairly priced and has good picture quality.
The only thing I wish that could be improved on this projector is the Cooling and the sound quality. The speakers are just there just to be there but they will sound tinny at loud volumes and there's no dedicated subwoofer or materials to help enhance bass sounds. I would honestly use this with Bluetooth speakers because the speakers on here aren't really good or large parties.
In my video here I showcase a little bit of the responsiveness of the remote in the projector. When you first started up it takes about 3 or 4 minutes to load up everything before it receive commands smoothly.
Pros:
✅ Sharp 4K UHD Picture – The visuals are crisp and detailed, making movie nights feel immersive.
✅ Google TV Built-In – No need for external streaming devices; access Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, and more directly from the projector.
✅ Wi-Fi & Bluetooth Connectivity – Seamlessly connects to your home network and Bluetooth speakers for enhanced sound.
✅ Gaming & Smartphone Compatibility – Works well with consoles like PlayStation and Xbox, as well as screen mirroring from phones.
✅ Versatile Use (Indoor & Outdoor) – Brightness holds up well even in semi-lit rooms, and it’s great for outdoor movie nights.
Cons:
❌ Built-in Speakers Could Be Better – While Dolby Sound is included, external speakers improve the experience significantly.
❌ Some Apps Require Manual Installation – A few streaming services may not be pre-installed
Final Verdict:
For the price, the HAPPRUN 4K UHD Smart Projector delivers excellent value, especially with Google TV integration and 4K support. It’s a solid pick for home theaters, gaming, and outdoor setups. While the built-in audio and fan noise could be improved, it’s still a great all-in-one entertainment device.
I have it mounted on an extra tripod I had laying around from my Index VR base stations. With where I have it in my room it is an 82” display and while it may only be 1080p, for $40 it is simply unbeatable. I prefer it over my 4k 55” tv that I spend over $200 on.
One of my favourite things about it is how easy it is to set up and put away if you choose to only use it at night. It really is just plug and play, all you have to do is focus the lens.
My only gripe is that the provided power cord is very short, I will be getting an extension cord for it. Similarly the provided HDMI cable is tiny, but I could see myself using it, if I were to plug a laptop in or something.
It also runs pretty hot which has been nice on cold nights… But I am weary of how it will preform in the Texas heat.
Previously I had HY300 which I had purchased for about the same price… IT WAS GARBAGE in comparison.
Overall I am a happy customer!
For a projector that comes in under $250, I was pleasantly surprised by the picture quality, especially with true native 1080p resolution. The LED light source is a great bonus over traditional halogen bulbs. While it's not the brightest, it's perfect for movies in medium-to-dark rooms and works well for its price range. It's compact and lightweight, making it easy to mount on a tripod or wall shelf. With HDMI and USB ports, it’s easy to add a Firestick or other wireless device, creating a portable all-in-one solution with just a single power cable needed. I connected a dedicated Firestick and my son can play video games through Luna on a huge screen now.
The focus adjustment works across a wide range, but the keystone correction slightly distorts the image, affecting focus. The best image quality is achieved when the keystone is centered, meaning the projector must be carefully aligned with the screen.
Positioning can be tricky, as the screen size depends on the projector's distance from the surface. You can adjust the digital zoom in the menu, but this reduces resolution by scaling down the image rather than adjusting the lens. I used a 150” screen I got from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0878RVTKX/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and once I got it dialed in, the picture was pretty awesome.
The Bluetooth audio feature is convenient for connecting to a soundbar or headphones, though there’s a slight audio-sync delay, which can be annoying. Using an analog audio connection or routing through an HDMI receiver resolves this issue.
In conclusion, 5 stars for being affordable and fun, and doing exactly what it's meant to do.
Let's start with the fact that the projector is of average build quality But, for this price, it's better than expected. During operation, it doesn't make a very loud noise and it's not bothersome. After turning it on, adjusting the focus and tilt is not that difficult. if you plan to have the projector elevated, focusing on all corners of the screen will be a bit more challenging, As for when it's placed directly in front, the focus is relatively better. I didn't expect the image to be viewable in a moderately lit room,
However, I was mistaken – it handles moderate lighting in the room quite well, and in a darkened room, the brightness is enough for a pleasant viewing experience. As for the speaker and its sound quality, it's average. For a fully immersive movie experience, you'll need an external audio system or speakers. The projector has a quite high-quality, clear image and good color reproduction, You can achieve better results than what you get straight out of the box if you slightly adjust the image settings and perform proper calibration. I want to say that it's an excellent purchase for the family. Overall, I want to say that At this price, it's an excellent choice for a home cinema setup. The projector also comes with a maintenance kit.
I would also like to give you a few small recommendations to ensure you enjoy the projector for a long time:
1. It is not recommended to use the projector for extended periods of time. After 4-6 hours of use, it is advised to turn it off and let it cool down for a while.
2.Do not operate the projector in a hot environment or near a heating source. The room or space where the projector is used should be well-ventilated.
3.The air intake and exhaust ports should not be covered.
4.The projector has a cover and dust filter on the lower left side, which needs periodic cleaning to prevent it from getting covered and blocking the airflow. Cleaning it once or twice a month is usually sufficient.
5.If dust particles still manage to get inside, the inner lens, located behind the lower cover, can be cleaned with the dust-removal swabs included in the maintenance kit.
6.Do not place the projector in an enclosed space; there should be free airflow around it.
Taking all of this into account, you will be able to enjoy this device for a longer period. I wish you a pleasant home theater experience!
Previous review:
I really liked it until this! Sneeze looking noise on inside of screen!
Worked great for a few weeks, then one night, turned it on and saw all this cloudy noise, creating shadows on everything! I checked the lens, clean on the outside but then I shined a light inside (projector turned off) and could see it was on the inside! Also inside looked like it was wet, covered in slime, I don't know what happened but up until this weird situation I really enjoyed it. Couldn't find a way to contact mfr. Through Amazon. Tried the options Amazon gave me through the app and website.
Only ever cleaned the outside lens with eyeglass cleaning fabric.
Great color, reads mkv files off flash drive. Great improvement over previous projector in this price range( previous projectors sound went bad, but it did have two HDMI, this one only has 1)
Cons
Some edges are a little blurred again not noticeable during the film, burn in after 6 months just a light faded color change in the middle noticeable in dark images. Small dead pixels, (might be dust on the light inside but I can’t reach it without getting a long screwdriver and taking it apart), not the easiest to get perfectly aligned but does a good job. Not great for low angles or high angles, better straight on like on camera stand or something. Somewhat dim in pitch black it works well and with just the smallest light you can still see, could be a bit brighter but still works, most projectors have that thing anyways. Not possible to get edge to edge image sharpness, I’ve tried for months but there’s always or corner or a side that is a little less sharp then the other but nothing major or noticeable when involved in a film. Weak speaker, hook up to something better to get full use.
All around I love this thing, my friends love this thing my family loves this thing, we watch movies like everyday, so much so we can hardly find anything else good to watch. Thank you guys for this best product I’ve ever bought.
Update the screen burn in is getting worse. Still love this thing but I think it’s gonna be out in about 3 months sadly. Hoping I can find a way t replace the led if possible
After diving deep into learning all about the best projector and what lumens we would need to ensure we would be able to watch tv during the day. I stumbled across this projector which was about $60 with the coupon going on at the time. It came with a screen but I also looked into a screen that we could mount to the ceiling which was $100. I was truly blown away. I could have a screen that was 100 inches (bigger than the tv we were even looking at) for $160 which was so cheap!! I talked to my partner and we decided to try it out.
We read the reviews on this projector and knew we would probably have to by a sound bar to increase the sound quality. Once we got the projector and screen delivered we set everything up that night. The sound is not bad at all. We still want to by a sound bar at some point but it’s truly not necessary the sound is pretty good. I am so so happy we decided to go this route. We love watching movies and shows. The picture is very good day or night. We have hosted our friends for ufc fights and everyone has loved it and thought it was great picture. I cannot say enough great things about this projector. My brother said he is going to purchase one after seeing ours set up. It’s light and small so it sits on our shelves above our couch very easily. I guess the one negative comment I will say about it is that I personally wish the power cord was just a little longer so it would reach to behind our couch. It is about 4 feet or so. It’s not insanely short and not a huge deal. We have an extension cord to run it to the outlet. I’ve had it was about two months and have no issues.
If you’re looking at buying a projector, buy this one. You cannot beat it for the price!
The main negative is the limitation of the optics. The focus adjustment works well for a good range of distance, but the keystone adjustment is unusable as it slightly tilts the image behind the lens. This technically corrects the edge alignment, but also causes the focal range to be ineffective. The only way to focus the entire image is to keep the keystone adjustment right in the center. That also means the projector itself needs to be as close to perfectly centered on your screen or surface you're projecting to.
Also, because the size of the screen is directky related to the distance of the projector to your screen, it can make ideal positioning very tricky. Technically the projector menu allows for a digital zoom adjust, which can shrink the image within the max dimensions - so you could have the projector back further and use a smaller screen. But what this does is lose resolution of your image, scaling it down digitally rather than optically with the lens.
Lastly, the projector has Bluetooth capability for audio, so you can use a sound bar or earbuds, etc. This is pretty easy to set up and works well, but the audio to video sync is off by more than 200ms which at least with Chromecast is the max adjustment. So lip sync is off enough to be slightly annoying. Using a standard analog stereo mini jack to a speaker system, or routing your HDMI through a receiver first pretty much eliminates this issue so it really only affects Bluetooth audio and may not even be noticeable by everyone.
Overall, I'm really happy with this purchase! For $50 it's an incredible value. If it were $100+, I might be less impressed. But really this is a super fun and affordable projector perfect for outdoor movie nights or other creative uses like rear projected Halloween FX, etc.
I set this up on my screened in patio and have enjoyed watching YouTube and movies at night on a big screen. The included 100" screen is better than nothing, but is a very stretchy soft fabric which creates a slightly softer and dimmer image due to being somewhat thin for rear projection use too. I ended up using a smaller 88" pull down projection screen with a nice flat and opaque material which reflects light back brighter than the fabric.
In conclusion, 5 stars because it does exactly what it's supposed to do and was super cheap. I would not recommend this for a proper home theater installation, but as a audio/videophile, I really like it for what it is.
Bottom line, IF you already have a quality sound bar and plan on darkening your room in the daytime, THIS is the unit for the price. Picture was really great but cannot hear sound unless you are sitting right next to the projector :(( . NOT good for action movies and very poor if you are already having hearing problems and used to a much louder sound system. As per the many, many reviews I read, it would have been nice to have (2) leveling legs in the front, a little bit better zoom feature, but knowing that going in was not a deal breaker for me. The complete lack of response from seller was the deal breaker and this unit is going back. All the tech that went into this, a minimum 2 x 5 watts sound system would have been a deal maker in keeping as I cannot afford a $150+ sound bar for this projector. Thankfully Amazon has the best return policy in the business!! NOTE: My new laptop has 2 x 1.5 watts of sounds and IT is louder than this projector! :))
Update: there was a tiny speck on my projector so I was sent a replacement. The speck is now gone and the speakers work well.
After a few months I decided to put up the screen even though my wall is already white. The sticky hooks are extremely strong. I went to remove one and put it in a different position and it took a small chunk out of my wall. Luckily there’s an extra sticky hook. I’d say the quality is a bit better on the screen and it appears more 3D. The screen is outlined in black but I was able to find a perfect black masking tape to cover a side because my screen is bent around a corner.
Anyways after putting up the screen has really influenced me to watch 2-3 movies a day so it was worth the chunk in the wall.
Additionally this has been compatible with flex box, wii, snes mini, superbox s2 pro and I’m sure will work for any other system you have
I think I did find the Bluetooth setting in the menu but didn’t need to use it at that point.
Many computer speakers will be compatible with it.
