Works great. Easily accessible. Hook up was straight forward. So easy my 6 yr old could do it.

The best in the world Love Best Buy better than target any other store?

I have been wanting a projector for some time now and having looked at many, I did not think I would find a decent one at this price point. That said, Vankyo completely obliterated that notion. Not only is it budget friendly, but it is portable and works amazingly well. Set up was much easier than I expected. All I had to do was get in plugged in and get some AAA batteries into the controller and it was up and running. Besides that, setup involved finding the right elevation to get it just right on my blank wall. We were enjoying a movie within 10 minutes of getting it out of the box. Besides the projector, the package comes with a power cable, and HDMI cable, a lens cover cap, a remote controller, and a cleaning kit. The projector is very lightweight, and the size adds to its portability. It can be set on a flat surface or mounted. If it has to be mounted from the ceiling, the picture can be flipped so it won’t play upside down. The included manual is very thorough in giving step by step instructions on how to use all of its features and connect every type of device supported along with pictures for guidance. I commend Vankyo because it is rare nowadays to find manuals like this. The menu screen is easy to go through and understand. The projector has options to focus the screen to get the picture just right, which can easily be done using the controller. It does have to be very dark to really see colors standout nicely, which was no problem for me as I have blackout curtains. For this reason, I would probably only use it outdoors in very dark settings, such as camping, to really enjoy the picture quality. I first connected the projector to my Roku via HDMI and it worked as seamlessly as it would with a tv. I also used it via Airplay screen mirroring. The phone screen transmitted crystal clear with no distortion. It is great for gatherings to show photos to family and such things as well as to just play movies on a screen larger than the average tv. I have watched several movies with my kids, and we become really immersed in it, enjoying the large picture it provides. It truly gives us the experience of a small home theater. The volume of the speaker it came with can go up pretty loud and it has Bluetooth to allow for speakers to be connected as well. It found and linked to my speaker quickly with absolutely no issue and the sound and picture were perfectly in sync. I am personally really enjoying this projector. It provides so many modalities of connections to a variety of devices that I feel it basically has all bases covered. That paired with the ease of connection just makes this an all-around great addition to our family movie nights.

Really nice mini projector. I was surprised at how compact it is. Upon opening the package (comes very well packed and protected) I found they include a long cabled power adaptor, a IR remote control and a HDMI cable. The projector itself is very compact and sturdy, does not feel cheap at all. I was surprised at how many ports and options it gives you for connectivity. It has a HDMI port so you can plug almost anything that has an HDMI out (streaming devices, PC, consoles etc). It also has an USB port so you can plug a flash drive in example with some movies or pics in it to project. It also has a speaker/headphones out port so you can plug external speakers or headphones (it does have an internal speaker. Onto the setup. Setting it up was easy. It does have a physical screw in the base so you can adjust the angle the projector is pointing at. You can either set it on top of a table or you can mount it. It can be mounted straight up or you can flip it or mount it on the ceiling. It does support this. It also has electronic keystone adjustments to tweak your image. Once you go through the setup you can set its Wi-Fi connection or you can cast directly from your phone. They give you detailed instructions on how to cast either an iOS (apple) or android phone. From there you can cast anything from your phone, apps, movies etc. Of course, because it also has a HDMI port and a USB port, you can plug pretty much anything into it to project. Like a Blu-ray player, streaming device, PC, console etc. Its such a versatile device. Although its "just" 720p it does accept 1080p signals, just downscale them. I love how compact and you can take it anywhere you want, that at least has AC power. I don't see this projector as a main in house projector, for that you can get any other, more expensive ones. But to take it on the go, its magnificent. I.E. you can take it camping, or you can take it outside for nice night out the backyard movie nights this summer. The internal fans are quiet and do not disturb any movie viewing. It does have an internal speaker good enough in case you forget your own, but I highly recommend plugin it in to external speakers and because it does support Bluetooth speakers, you can connect them wirelessly too! Video quality is great and very bright. Its 720p HD and its plenty enough for its intended use! The quality and versatility is this, and I am amazed at how much you get for the price!!! +++PROS+++ +HDIM port +USB port +Internal speaker +External speaker capable (either via physical plug, or Bluetooth) +Quiet fans +Good 720P HD quality +Very bright +Plenty of adjustment options during setup. +Remote control. +Can connect to Wi-Fi, can also accept cast from phones. +Lens cleaning kit included. ----CONS---- -Just 720p resolution. -Remote control is IR, so must be pointed directly at it.

I’ve been wanting an entry level projector to project movies on my wall for the kids, or football game on my garage door for the neighborhood, and I have found it! This projector is surprisingly bright for its size, and provides a really crisp picture. My son spent quite a while using the iPhone airplay feature, and the projector was incredibly responsive with virtually no delay. I’ve used large projectors for the last 10 years while traveling and giving presentations, and while this isn’t a projector I would want as my main in office projector, it is one I will definitely use for travel, simply because of the portability. The speakers are really good, but depending on the room and event, you may want to bring an external set. One thing which really stands out to me is the responsiveness of the controls, remote and menu. I have sat in front of large audiences, fumbling over projector controls, to experience significant delays between each and every menu option. This projector is as responsive as a T.V. So you can breeze through settings and get your alignment, aspect ratio and brightness setup with ease. For me, this is the perfect projector for occasional around the house use. It’s bright enough, and small enough, that you really get a lot of bang for your buck. Generally, when I hear the words portable around a projector, I think of those mini, almost pocket sizes projectors, which are always a disappointment. This is not at all one of those, it’s a fully functional projector, but in a compact form, intended to be carried in luggage with quick setup.

The Vankyo Leisure 470 Neo is one of the most surprising products that I've reviewed. I have used LED projectors in the past and found them too dim to be useful in all but the blackest of rooms, and given the price I assumed the Leisure 470 Neo would be more of the same. Totally wrong there, this is actually bright enough that I can use it in my living room or in the backyard at dusk (in the shadows, but still). *Setup* I purchased an inexpensive indoor/outdoor screen to go along with this projector. I mounted the screen, connected the projector to my 300W solar generator, and attached a Fire TV Stick to the HDMI port. Sitting the projector on top of my solar generator, the height was just right for my screen height. Adjusting with the remote is super easy both for focus and basic keystone (only up/down and not left/right). I also set up the wifi, which was very easy with the remote. *Highlights* The resolution is 720p which to me is just fine for the use case here. With a temporary screen I'm not expecting incredible detail especially at 100" screen sizes or more. Mirroring my screen from an android phone and iPad was easy although with the iPad I had trouble getting full motion video to work wirelessly. With a dongle to HDMI there was no problem. As a frequent user of these features in my business life I don't expect AirPlay to work for that 99% of the time so this wasn't a surprise to me. Another surprise was the onboard speaker. While not loud enough to use outdoors by itself, inside I thought the speaker was surprisingly powerful that you could do a quick setup and watch something without using an external speaker. I also tried projecting against a wall and my ceiling and found the image bright enough to use, if you don't have a screen at all. Finally, it works for projecting images in your windows for Halloween or Christmas animations! *Lowlights* Really the only complaint was not being able to adjust keystoning for left/right, so I did have to make sure the projector was able to sit in the center horizontally to the screen. Vertically the adjustments worked fine. Given the extremely low price of this unit, it's hard to expect a lot of frills but a case would have been nice. *Summary* If you have a screen already or are looking for an inexpensive projector for a cool Halloween window animation, the Vankyo Leisure 470 Neo is AWESOME.

We were looking for a portable projector we could move around the house. This small projector is easy to setup, with a great picture. The picture is more than bright enough and is very clear against the wall and ceiling.

The Vankyo Leisure 470 Neo Wireless Mini Projector stands out in the competitive mini projector market with its unique features and specifications. This attractive mini projector offers more than just decent features, setting it apart from the more basic devices. Out of the box, the first tip I want to give is for the user to read the instructions. I could not get the unit to focus, and then I read the instructions and realized that the remote had the focus buttons on it. I will note that my package did not come with the two necessary triple-A batteries required for the remote. Luckily, I had a pack, so the setup was moderately simple after that, but I did need some steps to get things looking good and whatnot. In the settings tab, you can adjust the screen mode, flip, and electrical keystone. The keystone is like the trapezoidal to square width you get from projecting at weird angles against flat or unmatched backdrops. Short of batteries, one nice addition to the packaging was the inclusion of Q-tips and alcohol cleaning supplies for the lens. The picture is easily scrutinized because, first off, this is a 720P output projector with good, not great, luminosity. However, one must be very mindful that projectors require a bright solid surface for optimal display. I have another projector we got a few years ago and matched it with a high-end screen. The 470 Neo on that screen is pristine and beautiful in a low-to-dark ambient light setting. In a brightly lit room, it fairs well on that screen but not as well as you would really hope on other surfaces. The unit has a great sound output, which was surprisingly clear, with good highs and lows. I would still recommend an extra speaker which the device will allow you to easily connect to. The ability to screen mirror using an Apple device was easy through the Airplay sync. Many popular apps will not allow you to use the IOS screen mirroring and will give you an error that says you need to use the lighting cable (USB to lighting). Overall, this unit offers a good picture while projecting onto the right surface and delivers surprising audio. For the right set-up needs, this is a wonderful device and worth the five stars provided. We plan to use this for impromptu outdoor viewing sessions or as a travel companion.

I'll start this by saying, if you bought this projector, you should understand the product you're purchasing. For pricing and capability this is an entry-level projector, and what it does, for this, it does well. That said, let's get started. Packaging: It is packaged very basically, just a cardboard box and foam, no bells and whistles, it doesn't even come with batteries for the remote (AAA so you can grab them when you're checking out). It is packed well, has a lens protector and an HDMI cable, so it's an odd miss that it doesn't have the batteries, but it doesn't really matter. Installation and use: Again this is an entry-level projector, but for what it has, it's very capable. From the outset it can be connected to wifi for certain wireless capabilities (miracast), that said I'd say just get a stick to attach to it so you can use it more effectively. From settings it can also have the image flipped if you need to place the projector upside down, it also has a mirrored option which I found interesting, i'm not sure how often projectors get mirrored, but maybe that gives some individuals more options for mounting. It does seem the only way to adjust the focus is with the remote, so don't lose it. There's no manual dial on the front. The image looks good, but being that it's a small projector, the brightness is easily affected by other light, just be aware of that. Overall: It's good if you know what you're buying, it's not high end, it's not 1080p (though it's 1080i capable), but it gets the job done.

It is perfect. Small and compact. Easy to transport. Very clear image and easy to follow directions. Worth the price. Good value.

Works better than I expected. Easy to carry, good brightness, good sound.

Love the image it has, I connect my Roku to it and it has such clear image. The screen size expands to entire bedroom wall clearly. Colors are vibrant, I was a little worried because I didn’t get the screen but it wasn’t too bad. I did eventually invest in a screen and it works amazing. It hasn’t overheated on me or lag. I can connect my speakers to it and have an amazing experience

Easy to use. Lightweight. Picture quality is good.

Tested and it is easy to set up and work like a charm. Led light means it will not get overheat and wifi support works.

Got it for a friend and she loved it.. easy set up and quality is great. Sound is amazing for her room. Definitely will buy again.
