A good little projector for an even littler price
The media could not be loaded. The Projector:The projector is nice and small, and easy to place, though I feel the power cable is too short. In the box, along with the projector, you'll find the power cable, an HDMI cable, a remote, and a silicone lens cap. The included screen is cloth and comes with hooks and quick-release adhesive to make it easy to find a place to hang it. I don't really have a good place that is flush against the wall, so I had to get a bit creative.Inputs: It has two HDMI ports, 1 USB port, one 3mm RCA input, and one 3mm headphone jack.The projector also has a little adjustable foot at the front to allow you to change the angle a bit.Up by the lens are the focus adjust and keystone adjust rings. You can control most of the functions from the buttons on the top of the projector, but you can't adjust the volume, so keep your remote handy.A minor gripe about the device is that the fans are a bit noisy, but if you have headphones on or a sound system I don't think you will notice it.Functions:I don't have any iOS devices and don't use media via USB, so I can't speak to those functions, but casting the screen from an Android projector is as easy as you would expect. I started the cast function on the projector and had no trouble finding it on my phone. I have my gaming computer hooked up to one input, and my PS4 connected to the other. Switching between HDMI ports is quick and easy, and the AV input option (cable not included) is great because I will be connecting my retro gaming consoles to the projector soon.The settings menu allows you to change screen rotation based on how you've mounted the projector, connect it to your WiFi, connect Bluetooth devices, change the display language, update firmware, and reset the projector to factory settings.I have two gripes about this device that should hopefully get fixed in a firmware update. Wifi settings and Bluetooth connections do not persist after the projector is powered off and on. Wifi isn't really needed, so that's not a big deal, but having to reconnect my headphones every time I turn the device on is annoying.Remote:The remote is a remote. Nothing crazy or fancy here. It's small and lightweight, and it's IR so you'll need to point it in the general direction of the front of the projector.Picture Quality:The picture quality is great. It's 1080p, which is just fine for what I need. I watch movies and play games in my office during my downtime, and I've had no issues with blur or screen tearing during games. It's nice and responsive, and the colors look great.Sound Quality:The projector has a built-in speaker which works well enough, and I guess the sound quality is good enough for built-ins, but I would recommend using headphones or external speakers. The sound through my Bluetooth headphones is as good as it is from any other device I connect it to, and the audio stays in perfect sync with the action onscreen.Screen:It's a big square piece of cloth with 6 eyelets to be used for hanging. The eyelets feel like they're well supported, so I don't need to worry about them tearing loose unless one of the kids decides to yell "Hey you guys!" before jumping and grabbing hold.Overall, I'm really happy with this unit and look forward to spending many much-needed breaks using it!

great product a few cheap miscellaneous features
picture quality is great. its lasted a whole year without issue. sound still works good. i would give it 5 stars except for 2 things. the screen is good but the attachment hooks for it are pretty bad. second the little screw it has to control elevation is also pretty cheap and could stand for something a bit more robust. its just a plastic top screw you thumb out to raise and lower it. otherwise its great! couldn't recommend it more if you are wanting to try projectors out.

Great customer service
Update: This is an update to the review I previously posted. Although I had issues with the first projector that was sent out, the seller, "Nile Trading" without hesitation reached out to me in order to correct the situation, and they did so beyond my expectations. They sent out a new projector and I have to say I really like it.In retail sometimes things just simply go afoul once in a while but it's how the retailer handles the situation that really matters and I have to say this seller handled it very well. I will in the future not hesitate to purchase any items listed by Nile Trading on Amazon as they seem to be a good retailer.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I was really excited to receive this but that excitement was short lived. I ordered a 4k Max Fire stick to complement this projector but soon realized that that upper level fire stick wouldn't make a difference as the picture that this projector puts out isn't up to par with the Fire Stick. I can adjust the focus of the projector to get a sharp image in the center but the outer portions of the image are very blurry to the point that if there is text in those areas it's almost unreadable. I tried adjusting the projector distance and angle but nothing seems to help.As well as the focus issue the audio output jack fits very loose even after trying a few different cables. It's so loose that the cable barely stays in and if the cable isn't positioned on the table in a certain position it will just fall out. I prefer to use a cable and a external speaker because the speaker in the projector is just OK at best. I do not wish to use the Bluetooth feature to avoid audio lag.With these issues in mind I will probably send the unit back or just hand it off to a family member with kids as it will probably be OK for cartoons in the back yard but not much more.

It works.
pros: imagery is fine, better to use on a flat white surface instead of a wall or ceiling but it works. I like how the screen is adjustable. pretty easy to use.cons: the fan is super loud, i dont know why. the lens is kinda hard to keep clean and mine has a couple specs already in it, can't do much about it. doesn't personally bother me too much but it could get annoying.
