Great projector for movies
Great for bedroom wall. Sound is decent. Hooked it up to my Apple TV works perfect. Picture quality is great. I put it on a tripod so I can move it around. I’m glad I bought this instead of putting a TV on the wall.

It's not a Cadillac, but it still rides nice.
It's a very basic projector with few special features for $99.00 on sale, it definitely served the indoor and outdoor projection needs of my family. This was a good value purchase.

Portable, Entry-Level – It Gets the Job Done
This Ematic LCD Projector is compact, portable, has a low price point (under $100), and is basic in function. Included in the package are the projector, remote, lens cover, AC power adapter, User Manual, and a Quick Start Guide. Be aware that the two AAA batteries required to power the remote are not included. The unit has a headphone jack, AV input, 2 HDMI Inputs, a VGA port, and can accommodate a Micro SD card or USB input. You can watch movies/television via connection with a TV, computer, streaming stick, or video player. You also have the capability to view content stored on USB or Micro SD cards. Approximate measurements of 8”x6”x3.5” make it very compact. It’s portability makes it perfect to take camping or for use in presentations. The remote is small but not tiny (slightly larger than 5.5”x 1.75”) and fits well in the palm. The addition of an area to attach/store the remote on the unit when not in use would be welcome. Both the projector and the remote are made of a white plastic and neither feels extremely durable. The buttons on both the remote and top of the unit are pretty self-explanatory but their functions are explained in both the Quick Start Guide & User Manual, as are the different ways to connect the projector to various input devices. Set up was very simple requiring only the installation of the batteries in the remote and the connection of the power adapter to the projector. I opted to attach the unit to my laptop. Prior to doing so I did read the instructions in the manual as well as watched a video online. I used a 15pin video cable for the connection and after adjusting the settings for my computer and the projector I was in business. It took me a few tries to fine tune the picture using the keystone and focus knobs. When the unit first powered on the fan noise was loud but became less pronounced over time. I did not purchase a screen to view on. I just used an empty wall. The picture was clear and bright in my living room after I dimmed the lights. When I moved the setup to a basement room with no windows the picture was much brighter and it remained clear when adjusted to the largest possible size (150 inches). Keep in mind this projector only increases the size of the image it’s projecting–it does not improve the clarity of the image. If your image is of poor quality to begin with, enlarging it will most likely emphasize this. The speakers are mediocre, especially in comparison to the stereo surround-sound that I am used to, but they serve their purpose and the volume level can get pretty loud. This projector delivers as promised-nothing spectacular but you definitely get your money’s worth.

No frills projector that generally performs well
This is a low cost projector that does the job well. The spec is decent. I have to compliment the design, which is really compact and light. The projector feels good though the outer casing is made mostly from plastics. This is a go to compact projector for traveling and indoor use at home. This is not my first low cost projector and I have to say that this projector is the better one in terms of design and portability. Connections options are great, you can project content from devices having HDMi and VGA outputs. There is also a micro SD slot to display pictures and videos. You can also connect external audio sources through line in headphone jack connection. There is also a usb port. You want to connect audio to the projector using Bluetooth? Yes you can because you can connect your own Bluetooth audio transmitter through the projector’s USB and headphone jack connection. The projector does not come with any connection cables, dongles or any other thing aside of cable to connect power source. Also, the remote control does not include batteries. At 800x480 resolution, this projector is no go to display websites or text-based contents. Brightness, which is rated at 45 ANSI Lumens, is good enough in a dark room or indoor with some lights. It is not for use in a well-lit room. I tethered streaming contents from iPad Pro and it seems that it’s doing the job okay. Sound quality is decent enough to hear dialogue in the movie. The remote control works well to change settings and turning on and off the projector. Overall, it’s a good experience even though I only use house wall to project the video. The projector as expected in this price range, has a bit of sharpness problem in which the center of the lens is the sharpest focal point while the edge of the lens suffers from decrease quality of sharpness. This is mostly visible when you test with text-based content and should not be an issue when you project movies. Of course, the only gripe is that at 800x480 resolution, you will notice that the picture is not that sharp especially when you are used to watching content from 4K TVs. The projector got settings to adjust color and saturation but then again you get what you pay for.

Easy set up
Really enjoy this item. I didn't expect the quality I was going to receive for such a great price. Happy I purchased it.
