Decent compact unit, not as bright as others
I am comparing this projector to the Epson EF-21. For my testing, I placed this unit on top of the EF-21 and used a wall 10 feet away as the screen. I could then compare the two under identical conditions. This is a more compact unit that would be easier to pack for travel. The audio quality is better than the EF-21, but still not comparable with a decent sound bar or AVR system. It is ideal for using for business presentations or casual use at home. Both units have the Google TV user interface and can install almost any Android based application. I did some viewing of YouTube for testing streaming and watching movies from my home media server. This unit supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz WiFi, which is a plus. Running a network speed test shows it's not a high performer, only achieving about 200 Mbps on my 5 GHz network that has a 900 Mbps cable connection. The wireless access point is only about eight feet away, so I would have expected a bit better wireless performance. I had no issues with streaming YouTube, even at the highest video rates. Pausing and resuming, as well as moving forward and backward performed well. For my local media, I used Kodi as the media player. I discovered that it would not even load my 4K movies. Other Android based players, such as the Nvidia Shield, have no issues playing these movies. I tried the same title (Star Wars) from a 1080p rip and it played fine. Recognizing that this projector is only 1080p output, I still would have expected it to play a 4K video at lower resolution. The biggest issue for me was the lack of brightness. Being a newer unit than the EF-21 I was expecting at least equal brightness (both use a laser light source) but the EF-30 was significantly less bright. I recognize that the 10 foot distance I had was at the limits of what this projector supports, and when I first set it up the room was quite bright (but no direct sunlight). Later in the evening with less ambient light the image was sufficiently bright for decent viewing.
