- Resolution: Full HD (1080p) (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to capture video/images. The higher the resolution the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- White Brightness (ISO): 750 lumens (Measurement of the device's white light output measured in accordance with standards established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The more lumens, the brighter the output. In large and/or well-lit environments, such as auditoriums or rooms with plenty of natural light, a higher brightness improves the quality of the projected image.)

- Projector Use: Business, Educational (Classroom), Gaming, Home Theater

Standard throw projectors typically need to be at least 6 feet away while short throw and ultra short throw projectors can be placed closer to the screen for use in smaller rooms.)
- Portability: Portable (Fixed projectors are ideal when creating an authentic theater atmosphere in your home. Often designed to stay in one place they may require significant recalibration if moved. Portable projectors, weighing around 5 pounds, are easy to move, but will still require set-up calibration and often have technology to reduce the complexity. Ultra-portable projectors are very light, often battery-powered, and ideal for on-the-go use.)

Good for Movies not for SPORTS
I tried to watch the Lakers game on this and it was a choppy nightmare. Apparently it isnt powerful enough to run sports smoothly. Watching basketball was unwatchable. We tried putting on the Cowboys game and it ran choppy as well just not as bad as basketball. For movies it handled it well but until they update this model with a better processor or chip or whatever it is that makes sports run smoother id stay away from this model.
