I've had to return 2 of these now. They look great both physically and on the screen, but one had dead pixels and the other had a chip on the projection glass creating a clear black dot on the middle of the screen. There also seems to be a weird software issue when you zoom that makes it real difficult to see the menu's. This issue occurred on both projectors I received. I don't think I'll try my luck a 3rd time.
Oh no I'm sorry Lacey.... I hate you had a bad experience. I haven't had any issues with mine, the only thing I had issues with wad the setup because I just didn't read any instructions haha. Were you able to find a projector you liked??
Thank you! I wish you could... it's not licensed to have those apps on it. Buttttt, the way around that is a firestick, roku or a streaming type device that you can HDMI into the back of it. Then it bypasses the licensing.
I was confused between this and happrun , bcoz f reviews I bought happrun but this mini projector is so perfect also about input lag. How was ur experience
Thank you mate 🙏🏼! I used it for maybe around a hour and a half or so. Gets warm but I wouldn’t say super hot. Now if it’s summer and it’s in the direct sun I can see how it would get hot 😅 It’s a 300W peaking at 600W power generator that you can use with solar as well. It’s in my Linktree if you’d like to check it out - linktr.ee/greatlakesronin Hope that helps!
I’m very intrigued about this product. I’m really curious to know if I could plug in my Apple TV to this. Do you happen to know if that’s possible? Thanks!
The size it gives out is beyond awesome for a budget projector unfortunately They lowered the price because they are trying to get rid of them because they are not a good product. Mine came with Dim led light asked for a replacement and got the same issue. my roommate also got one and had to return it because it was really blurry asked for a replacement and got a better one but with a dim light. pros beautiful big screen out of a $100 mini projector cons dim bulb or light and it gets dirty really fast and it's a hassle to clean.
Hey man, thanks for the review! Two questions: 1. Does it work well when projecting with AirPlay using an iPad and/or a MacBook? 2. Does it work good when connecting a Roku to its HDMI? Thanks!
Hi! I'll add another video for you. Short answer is yes for Roku, it does work well with Airplay! You have to make sure to use a FireStick or Roku though since it is not licensed with Hulu, Netflix, etc.
Hi, thanks for the review! I have got 2 quick questions if you can answer please - When projecting from a table to a high wall, how is the focus/blurriness. In some other pojectors I noticed that the focus was fine in the middle but worse on the top and bottom edges, is it same for this one? - Secondly can we adjust the focus and keystone manually too as an option?
Hey Nazeef! Anytime and thank you for the support :) Good question, it’s manual focus. There is a turn notch at the top where you can adjust the focus to your liking. It may be do to the angle I have it at or the surface of my walls. If you use a projector sheet or a flat surface I don’t see there being an issue :) I’m 90% sure there is a manual option to change the keystone. I didn’t dabble in that. But I can try and look into it :) the keystone works pretty well though I’ll say.
@@TheGreatLakesRonin Hey there, I just bought this but the image / aspect ratio is squared, even though the ratio is 16:9....the 4:3 ratio is even worse....the distance to the wall is about 2 metres so this should be the issue.....really weird....i have fumbled with the settings but no luck....any help?
@NV293 I also have another projector which does angles, auto keystone, and has licensing for streaming apps. I’ll be posting a review on as well. That may be better suited for you.
Good question! I’m an Amazon Influencer and TikTok Influencer. So I haven’t reached much out on RUclips yet. RUclips is fairly new to me. I have a much larger audience on Facebook, Amazon, and TT. :)
Hi Sam! Sorry I missed your message. Yes it does! You can either use the mirror setting via phone (just remember it’s not licensed for Netflix, Hulu, etc). So if you want to use Hulu or Netflix and such, you’d have to have a streaming device and would have to hotspot it to your phone. I hope this helped!
@@samueldesbois3632it should. It worked when I shared my screen with it on my iPhone. But to be frank, I did have it connected to my WiFi. So I’m not sure if you can hotspot and airplay at the same time?
Quick question.. at 1:20 in your video the projector doesn’t seem to align horizontally. Even the manual correction is meant for vertical shifts so how to fix the horizontal alignment?
0:13 Hello, what type of energy accumulator do you use, can you know the series or model, I have a projector just like yours and I would like to use it in the field, thank you for your help
Hi everyone! I hope this answers any questions, I posted an update this is addressing the keytone and moving it around on different viewing angles. ruclips.net/video/OPTTQ7EEaGQ/видео.htmlsi=aKvKfaRvp27zi2NH
Hey I got mine today & I was so excited but I cannot find the Elf Cast App it states that I need to download. I scanned the QR Code on the manual which takes me to their website but for the life of me I cannot see the download option anywhere....please help. Thank you😁
Hy, thank you very much for your review. I had a question. I saw in your video that you connected a fireTV stick and used the USB port for power. I also have the same setup as you, but when I turn on the firetv it starts initially but then shuts down and then restarts and this repeats continuously. Firetv works properly with its charger, but not when connected to the USB port. Does everything work fine with you? Do you have an idea how to solve my problem? Thanks!
There are multiple versions of the fire sticks. I suspect an older basic model would be powered through the device, but a higher spec one will need independent supply
Can you please do me a favour and put it at an angle and project it up and in front of you? For example, put it on a bedside table and try to get it straight on and then again for the ceiling. Please I beg of you!
it seems this is a 720p projector, even so the product page on their website says 1080p supported, that is just for the input.... i would not trust this company.... if you download the manual you will see it says 720p.... looks like a nice projector but i don't like lies .
We have just bought this and the volume is really low. We connected our Amazon stick. Can you control the volume using the Amazon fire stick do you know? We can’t seem to get it to work.
Yes and we have turned it up to the max using the projector remote however the amazon stick remote will not adjust the volume. We have found the maximum volume really low. Wondered if you had the same experience or maybe if there a setting I should adjust?

Does it auto fit the screen to you are using or do you have to move it and set it up to the right distance
Does it work well during the day?
At least can you tell me if it would work on an angle? Like the Samsung freestyle can and I want to know if this can too?!
Let me try it out! That’s a really good question. Let me try and do some recording tonight and try to post something on it :)
Hey! Just wanted to let you know I'm still working on the video :) Should be done soon!
Thank you!

How did you get the company to send it for you to review if you only have 4 subscribers

Good question! Let me check that out, I think you’d have to re-keystone in settings. It would most likely be the adjust I did right before 1:20.

Hi I lost my remote do you know where i can find a new remote ??
Hey Brian, I'd message WiMiUs, I'm sure they will have an option :)
Am i able to cast streaming services (Netflix RUclips Prime) from my iPad?
I can't do it.. I'm so disappointed
you can cast youtube from your phone but netflix isnt working for me so id suggest connecting a roku to the projector and use netflix like that
Peut on mettre toute les plateformes de streaming en vidéo depuis le téléphone sur se projecteur ?
What is the resolution 720p or 1080p?
I know it’s been a month but 1080
