This is a budget priced but decent quality entry level projector, fine for use in the kids’ room, taking with you on holiday, or in the garden at night. If you want an easy transportable, quick to set up short throw projector then this may be for you.

Inside the box, aside from the projector itself, was a full sized remote control, a power cable with a UK plug, an HDMI cable, and an English language User Guide.

Build quality is above average for the price. The plastic casing of the projector feels well made and robust. Nothing feels flimsy or about to fall off or break. The power cable is heavy duty with a standard UK plug on one end, but, annoyingly, a custom plug on the projector end.. The User Guide is well written and tells or you pretty much all you need to know. The infrared remote control is full-sized with proper physical clicky buttons. It has all the basic ports and connections: HDMI, USB, and audio out. Take note that there are no physical buttons or controls on the projector apart from the power button and focusing wheel, setup and image control are done using the handset.

For the budget price, this projector has some impressive stats: Native Resolution: 1280 x 720, downscaling built in for 1080p. The brightness is a remarkable 200 ANSI lumens. It features automatic keystone adjustment to compensate for when the lens and screen are not parallel. It will play a range of different video formats, including MP4, MKV and probably any others you are likely to encounter. Also I was pleased to see it has Bluetooth v5.4 and native Wifi 6 on board.

The projection distance is 1 -5m to give an image size of 39 to 130 inches. Focus is performed manually using the large dial on the front, with automatic Keystone correction being automatic and seamless. The image can be zoomed manually to fit the available screen size, and the projector physically tilted forward and back 180°, so even ceiling projection is easily done.

To operate, you use the supplied remote control, there are no controls on the projector itself. I use it with an Amazon Fire TV Stick connected to the HDMI port, but external drives and other devices can be connected via USB. The projector connects to your home wifi network to stream to the internet to the preinstalled apps, whilst allowing tablets and smartphones to connect to the projector for video and audio casting. Screen casting from your phone is quick and easy and works really well. The Projector can also connect to your home wifi network for firmware updates and to install apps from the Google Play Store. An external speaker or headset can be connected to the audio port or over Bluetooth.

I found it gave a good, bright, well-saturated image at around my recommended throw distance of 130 inches with a stable focus and good keystone stability when used in a darkened room. The image can also be zoomed in and out to get the best picture size. Audio quality was OK for the size, but for outside use, an external speaker will be needed, connected to the audio out port or using Bluetooth.

The budget range price gets you some very decent features, but if you are after a projector for professional use, then keep on looking. The light output is fine for home use, but it works best in a darkened or semi-darkened room. The image quality is clear and sharp without too much fringing, and it holds focus well. The colours are good but less saturated than you would find on a pro level projector. The native 720p resolution will be fine for use in the kids’ bedroom or for temporary use, but not in the home theatre. The sound from the built-in speaker output is OK, but for anything other than small rooms, an external speaker will be needed, and there is an audio out port to allow for this.

Those in search of a good quality entry-level projector with decent image quality and with support for all the basic functions may find what they need here. For most new home theatre owners with a small to medium sized projection room, this would be very well suited. If you want an autofocus unit with perfect colour fidelity for professional use in an unlit room and with a huge image, then this one is not for you and you can expect to pay very much more to find it.

This is a good entry level device with excellent image quality and a good range of features. It is priced far below high-end professional projectors, but it is by no means a budget device as regards its capabilities. It punches a good deal above its weight with build quality and design that make it a great buy at a very affordable price.
