Good alternative to a TV
Great lil item and a perfect alternative to a tv. Cons: It runs on Android TV which has some issues (with certain apps) and a few momentary glitches, runs a little hot, difficult to see during the day in a bright room. Frame rate isn't the best for first-person shooters/quick response games, (but works perfectly for Nintendo Switch). The remote DOESN'T have a mute option, and the remote also DOESN'T have backlit buttons which makes it impossible to use in the dark. Pros: Perfect size, fits anywhere, the speakers are impressive, IO was recently updated which introduced more settings (very cool). there is a good selection of ports for speakers/ other HDMI devices. Can be used as a Bluetooth speaker, built-in Chromecast. All in all a good purchase still costs as much as a basic/mid-spec TV but its SUPER portable, comes with good speakers, and you can have as big of a screen as you want. Side notes: There is a filter on the side port, make sure to regularly clean and check that. There is also a screw tripod adapter on the bottom so it can possibly be hung from the ceiling? (It's sorta heavy so idk how that would work).

A bit pricey but I love it!!
I recently purchased the Epson EpiqVision Mini EF12 Smart Streaming Laser Projector with HDR and Android TV from Best Buy, and I have to say, it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. While the price point is a bit high for my taste, the quality and features of this projector make it worth every penny. At first, I found adjusting the screen through its keystone feature a bit challenging, but once I figured it out, I realized it's one of the best features of the projector. The image quality is sharp and clear, even with the screen at an angle. (I posted some bad pictures that show how you can adjust the screen digitally, the one with the jellyfish is on 2 walls and ceiling but still looks flat after adjusting!!) Watching One Piece on it has been amazing! so I can say its definitely a must for anime fans. I was thoroughly impressed with the sound quality from the built-in speakers - it's loud, crisp, and provides a high-quality audio experience. The Bluetooth compatibility is also a great as I use it to connect my headphones for a more immersive and private watching experience. The video quality is exceptional, with vivid colors and sharp details, even in larger formats and without a projector screen. (currently I am projecting over an area that is over half of my wall which is approximately 10'x9') CON-- There is one major downside that I think people should be aware of - you cannot cast Netflix directly to the projector. I'm not sure why this feature is missing, but it's definitely something that could be a dealbreaker for some people. Thankfully, I found a workaround for this issue. I use a Google Cast dongle that is powered directly by the projector's USB port to cast the screen. So while the lack of direct casting may be a drawback, it's not a huge problem for me personally. Another thing that I think people should be aware of is that this projector projects the image kind of high and wide. So placement for this projector may be something that you will have to play with. This proved to be a minor issue for me and can be resolved with the keystone features and some trial and error. It also doesn't need to be very far to project a large screen which in my opinion is a good thing. Overall the quality of the image, the Bluetooth compatibility, and the ease of use make it an exceptional product. If you're looking to elevate your home entertainment experience, I highly recommend this projector. p.s. for gamers, I tried my ps4 on it and tbh. this aint it! Im not a big gamer but all I can really say is, graphics looked exquisite but the fps was lagging. If it matters I tried to play red dead redemption 2 and breakpoint.

Expensive but vibrant
At 1000 lumens the color and projection pay off is really good! Dim lighting and even lights on, the projector works great! Obviously in low light you get optimal enjoyment. Hdmi capability easily connects my laptop and Xbox AND the speaker automatically adapts to whatever i plug in witch is awesome! I dont like the android tv scenario but thats just preference. The speaker is phenomenal, bass and spacial audio sounds great. It gets pretty loud too. Although i wouldnt use it as a Bluetooth speaker when im not using the projector, its still amazing to have while using the projector so i dont need an external audio source. Angle adjustment is easy as well and auto calibration works very good! 12/10 recommend

Blown away!
This thing is amazing, smaller than I expected but the picture quality is great! The sound is more than good enough, even with ambient noise. Love how I can just plug this in and go. (nothing else needed) Just turn it on and watch movies & sports 120+”. At night I’ve used my brownish color garage door as a screen and with a slight color balance shift (via the menu settings) and it looks great. Measure 134”. My favorite option though is to broadcast it on my 120” screen. The brightness is more than enough even with the garage light on. Picture is great, better than expected for just being HD. Colors are super accurate when using a high quality projector screen. (I’m a professional photographer & videographer). The contrast and blacks look VERY good in my opinion.

Great starting projector
The built in android tv is great but it doesnt allow netflix for some reason. Its not in the app store and you cant even cast it to the projector from your device. I believe the only way would be to plug into the hdmi via laptop. The yamaha speakers are loud! Great for indoors and loud enough outdoors. I’ve never had a projector and this checks all my boxes! Got it for $799 and it includes built in apps, great speaker, and nice picture quality . I paired it with a 120 inch screen and I cant imagine putting it on a 150 inch cause its huge. 10/10 would recommend!!
