Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Vankyo Leisure 470 Neo Wireless Mini Projector in white has proven to be an impressive addition to any home entertainment setup, delivering a host of features that enhance the viewing experience. Pros: The picture quality stands out as a major strength. Despite its native resolution of 720p, the Vankyo Leisure 470 Neo produces sharp and vibrant images. It supports input resolutions up to 1080p, ensuring that even high-definition content looks great. The color accuracy and brightness are excellent for a projector of this size, making movies, TV shows, and games look vivid and detailed. The wireless connectivity feature is incredibly convenient. It allows seamless streaming from smartphones, laptops, and other devices without the hassle of cables. The projector includes multiple ports such as HDMI and USB, providing flexibility in connecting various devices. Additionally, the screen-sharing and Miracast capabilities enable easy mirroring of content from compatible devices, making it simple to project videos, presentations, or games directly from your phone or tablet. Another notable advantage is the ease of setup. The intuitive interface and straightforward controls make it simple to get started, even for those not particularly tech-savvy. The remote control is easy to use and comes with two AAA batteries included, which is a nice touch and ensures you're ready to go right out of the box. The compact size and portability of the projector add to its appeal, enabling easy use in different locations, from the living room to the backyard for an outdoor movie night. Cons: While the Vankyo Leisure 470 Neo has many strengths, there are a few areas where it could improve. The built-in speaker, while adequate for casual use, lacks the power and depth needed for a truly immersive audio experience. Connecting external speakers is recommended to enhance sound quality, especially for action-packed movies or music events. Another minor issue is the fan noise. Although it's not excessively loud, it can be noticeable during quieter scenes. This may be slightly distracting for some users, although it tends to fade into the background once you become accustomed to it. Conclusion: In summary, the Vankyo Leisure 470 Neo Wireless Mini Projector offers excellent picture quality, ease of setup, and convenient wireless connectivity, making it a great choice for enhancing home entertainment. Despite a few minor drawbacks such as the built-in speaker quality and fan noise, the overall performance and versatility of this projector make it a valuable addition to any household. Whether for movies, gaming, or outdoor screenings, it delivers an impressive and enjoyable viewing experience.

This is a weird projector. With my PS4 Slim I needed to set the video output to 1080p (720p had stutter), the audio output to Dolby Bitstream (PCM was ahead of the video) and adjust the sharpness of the projector to 6 (projector was dropping video feed periodically otherwise). The projector was going nuts and had severe video feed glitches when it wasn’t processing the video & audio in these ways itself. Now it works as it should… but there is a lot of distortion in darker scenes while streaming video. I will say that it is very bright. Also, it does want a high quality cable with plenty of slack. I use the Bluetooth audio feature with no issues… that’s good because the onboard speakers are pathetic. It’s cheap… and I can tell.

The Vankyo-Leisure 470 projector is probably one of my least favorite things I've ever gotten. imI would have returned it if I could. I will say that it does most of what it says it does. Just not very well. I spent days and days and days trying to figure out how to connect my pixel phone to this projector. I finally contacted the company and they let me know that both pixels and Samsung phones will not connect to this projector. After multiple attempts, I was able to connect it to my iPad to watch some shows with screen mirroring.But, I was never able to connect it to my Lenovo laptop even after they sent me explicit instructions. To me that defeats the purpose of a wireless projector. Did the projector work well? Yes, but only when connected to my iPad. The screen was easy to adjust. It was easy to make the focus clear, it was easy to make the size correct. But I also spent weeks trying to figure out why there was a big black spot on my screen from the moment I took it out of the box. They finally sent me instructions on how to clean out the dust window. And when I got inside there there were pieces of little balled up plastic all over the inside. I cleaned them out, but what a pain to deal with on day 1.

Nowadays buying a projector is somewhat complex because of the amount of options available and the variety of their prices. The difference, speaking of prices, can be really distant from one brand and resolution to another, this difference can go from hundreds to thousands of dollars without exaggeration. Now, we cannot deny that the higher the price the better results we will get, in most cases. So it comes down to a couple of questions that although simple are very important, what do we need, and what is our budget? This Vankyo 720p projector would fall into the entry level projector category, it lacks certain features that might be important or indispensable for some people. Its price, while not entirely justifiable, is somewhat understandable. Included in the box is the projector, a remote control (no batteries included), a power adapter, an HDMI cable and a user manual. The projector has a variety of connectivity options including HDMI cable, AirDrop, Wireless mirroring, Android devices mirroring, and 3.5mm RCA AV. Despite having this variety of connectivity options, not all of them can be used successfully. Of the wireless connection options the only one I was able to use relatively seamlessly was wireless mirroring, AirDrop did not work and the other options were not recognized by my phone. While I was able to connect my phone it wasn't the best experience to be honest. And the reasons focus mainly on performance and connectivity because in terms of design and finish there is not much to say, it is a product in which you can perceive the savings in manufacturing costs. In terms of performance, the promised quality is 720p but sometimes it doesn't seem to reach it at all. Playing videos in native 1080p format in a dark room, the image quality leaves much to be desired. The content that can be played with this projector loses quality and that is very noticeable, it is not sharp and color reproduction is not the best. I could not say that different types of content from different platforms could give a better result since it is not possible to play, at least from wirelessly connected mobile devices, content from platforms like Netflix, Amazon, Disney Plus, etc. This is due to copyright issues, it is only possible to play this content, and the manual recommends it, from a laptop connected via HDMI, which in my opinion makes this projector a very limited device. The audio does not even reach the quality of a portable speaker that we connect to our phones to do our chores. You can hear what is being played but it does not seem to be enough to immerse you watching a science fiction movie or the genre of your liking, let's say it only fulfills its purpose but at the limit of what is acceptable. In addition to this, when playing virtually any allowed content, there is a noticeable delay that can be unpleasant for some people, I include myself in them. The only way to avoid it, also recommended by the user manual, is through a wired connection, i.e. connecting headphones to the 3.5mm jack output of the projector, which worsens the little use that can be given to this product. One of the things that seemed to me a mistake is that when playing content in portrait format, the projector does not rotate the image and does not have the option in the settings or at least I could not find the way. In conclusion, and returning to what I initially mentioned regarding the couple of important questions when buying a projector, I can say that this projector Vankyo - Leisure 470 Neo 720P is a low-end product that offers the basics at a relatively affordable price, due the limitations and drawbacks that can be found in its use, look for other options at the same price or a little higher is completely reasonable. Unfortunately the areas of opportunity that this product has, for me, are something that I could not overlook, so I would limit myself to recommend it only to those who are looking for a barely basic result and have no problem with the limitations of playing content wirelessly, otherwise I could not recommend it, sorry.

This is a great projector for those back yard movie nights. The lamp is not bright so do expect to have a good viewing experice during low light. Easy to setup, Easy to Use
