Excellent travel projector. Can operate for approximately 120-135 minute on battery, if needed. Really good sound for it's size. I wish it had a remote for audio control however that is a minor gripe. Overall, it does the job!

The key word here is portable.This little device can provide up to 3hrs of use per full charge, but can also be left plugged in for longer viewings. The 200 lumens is just good enough to still be able to be seen in a lit room, but best viewed in low to no light situations.The native resolution is 720p , but can still handle inputs of up to 1080p. There are no built in wireless features for this projector, so the only type of input is through the single HDMI port.However, you can plug in virtually any kind of streaming device to provide the wireless features, like screen mirroring and video casting. There is one USB input, to provide power to the streaming device( The USB port is not capable of being used as an input).The projector is actually pretty good at displaying a proportionate image at any screen size up to 80". I have included pictures of the same image at different screen sizes. The pictures show virtually no difference in quality. Because the native resolution is only 720p, small letters and tiny details seem a little blurry, no matter the focus, but the overall picture is very acceptable, especially for such a small portable device. The sound is even quite good. It sounds just as good as a full size tv, no complaints there.
Automatic features include screen size and keystoning. The projector auto fits the screen size based on the distance the projector is from the wall or screen used. Keystoning is more of a skew correction feature. When a projector is not lined up perfectly perpendicular with it's media or screen, the resulting image is skewed at the top or bottom of the image, creating a trapezoid of the viewing images. Automatic keystone features correct this distortion usually through software, and returns the image to a rectangle. This works pretty good on this projector under normal angles, but exaggerated angles will still result in a skewed image.
To get any desired screen size, just place the projector the screen size desired plus approximately 10 added inches away from the media. For example if you want the 80" image, place the projector about 90" from your screen or wall.
The display is actually DLP technology ( Digital Light Processor), which has some advantages over other display technologies. They usually have better contrast and color retention, and require less maintenance, and better suited for portable designs. The light source on this projector is actually LED which overcomes the short bulb life of typical DLP projectors, and provides an estimated 20,000 hours of use (10x that of older DLPs).
Overall this is a very good portable projector,( if the resolution was just a little higher, it would have been perfect). There are a lot of other options out there for non-portable designs with greater lumens, higher definitions, and better features, but for the price and purpose of this projector it really is a great choice.

Malfunctions after a year

It's got decent picture quality but also a planned obsolescence of less than 1 year. I bought this projector in early 2023, and as of late 2023, the unit suffers frequent shut-downs. It will be on for less than a minute before a grid of multi-colored lines begins flashing across the screen, followed by a prompt shut-off of the display a few seconds later. Don't waste your money on this garbage!

Works great. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to start off with a mini projector. Only downside I would say a that it needs to be almost really dark for it to be visible.

Wow! Best Mini DLP Project EVER!

Wow! Seriously, an Owen Wilson WOW! The Miroir SYNQ 720p has blown me away. I am use to portable projectors being huge but not this. It's shorter than a bottle of Dasani (see picture). The photos on Best Buy don't do justice to how small and portable the Miroir SYNQ 720p.
I have never heard of Miroir before getting this projector but I am impressed with what they have done. Picture quality is amazing. Even in a well lit room. I was able to get the promised 80"+ picture size with no distortion or artifacts. I would recommend you use a trip to get the best position for your home theater night. Yes, the Miroir SYNQ 720p includes a mount for a standard tripod. FYI, there's a little front foot stand for more business-like purposes.
The Miroir SYNQ promises 720p output. I managed to get 1080p on my Roku. See photo. I don't know if I just got lucky or what but the 1080p output was flawless and I ran the test a few times. Even at 720p there have been no complaints on picture quality. The Miroir SYNQ 720p auto keystones - making sure your picture is a proper rectangle. Focus is manual using a dial on the side and there was no issue quickly getting focus.
Audio quality from the inbuilt speaker is pretty impressive and packs a decent punch. There is an audio out cable if you want to plug in external audio. The Miroir SYNQ 720p doesn't have bluetooth put you could pick up a Bluetooth transmitter) if you wanted to connect it to your home theater (the sort of dongle that plugs into the audio jack.
One of the things I love about the Miroir SYNQ 720p is that they haven't added any other software. It's designed to be used with a streaming stick. LOVE this because you don't end up with a device with unsupported software, the Miroir SYNQ 720p is basically as up to date as whatever USB stick you put in the back. Design wise, Miroir have made it so the streaming stick all packs in neatly under the cover giving everything a completely cordless look (see photo). The cover then clips in place and you have a compact unit you can take anywhere. I can fit my Roku easily under the cover and I am confident the projector would have no issue with a Chromecast.
I haven't even mentioned yet that the Miroir SYNQ 720p also runs on battery as well as external power. On battery with audio on I was able to get a full movie (Spider Man Far From Home) with no low battery issues. FYI there's no brightness adjustment. I don't think the Miroir SYNQ 720p auto adjusts brightness, it seems to have one standard setting but it's always perfect even in daylight with lights on.
What's in the box.
- Miroir SYNQ 720p
- power cable
- short HDMI cable
My only wish and (I didn't deduct any stars) is that they also included a carry case).
There's so much to be impressed with on the Miroir SYNQ 720p. Seriously you don't need to over think this. It's a perfect portable DLB projector and the best value I have seen in a long time. I would never consider any other projector again..

The Little Engine that Could!

This little puppy is a gem! Good brightness, clear picture. Auto keystone. For a road warrior that has to present in various venues this is a great little 'tool' that sets up easy, throws a descent amount of light, and the sound is pretty good. Remember it's not a Home Theater Projector, but the display is pretty darn good. Perfect for those PP presentations. After the work is done you can stream your favorite shows on any flat lightly covered surface. I was able to expand out to 84" diagonal with great results. After that it seemed you loose in brightness and clarity more than you gain. I was able to get roughly 2 hrs 22 min on the first full charge. Attached photo for reference; display size is 84 inches on a 120 inch screen.

Way better than I was expecting

So I realized I am a snob when it comes to numbers. I read 720p and I'm thinking, "oh, that's not so great, almost unusable" But i was dead wrong. I love this thing. I found a wall big enough to have the entire 80" available and put a football game on, it was awesome. Now all I need is a portable screen and i'll never have to deal with the tiny 40" TV at my parent in laws again (It's in a giant room to be fair)!
This isn't the brightest project, but it's also by far not the least bright, 200 lumens is better than I figured it would be, I'm used to looking at 5000 lumens or greater for projects at work. So if you are planning on using this in a fully lite classroom type of room, it probably isn't the one you want. In home lighting it works pretty decent and if you turn off a few lights it looks absolutely awesome. I'll include some pictures to hopefully show the difference but i'm not sure how good they'll show the difference. The speakers on this are decent, definitely loud but not full. They work in a pinch or for general taking like YouTube videos. I plugged a chromecast into the back and that is a pretty awesome setup, I even mounted it on a camera tripod (it has the screw hole thing) which worked even better as it kept it out of reach of my crawler. The inputs include a DC input (wish they would've had a usb c charger instead) , usb, audio jack, and hdmi port. And yes the chromecast works perfectly being powered off of that usb. Another nice feature is, besides needing to be lined up to where you want the image, it figures the rest out; so there are only e buttons: power, volume up, and volume down. and the focus scroll of course I couldn't ask for something better.
Pros:
Self correcting image
Battery powered (lasts several hours)
Can mount on a camera tri-pod
80" image is clear
small but sturdy
can run all day without crashing
Speakers are loud
Cons
Charger isn't USB C
Speakers can be tinny at full volume.
Overall I love this device and would recommend this without reservation.
A:the only input is a HDMI port, which can be used to plug pretty much any streaming device like Roku, Firestick, Chromecast, etc.. into.
There is a USB power input right next to the HDMI port to be used with the streaming sticks, to make this more convenient and portable.
From here you can use the streaming functions of whichever device you plugged in.
A:No. It is not really bright enough for outdoor use. It is a great device for the price but honestly I think a full moon would make watching difficult.
It will be ok, but honestly I would not buy it if you are looking for something for outdoor use.
A:Hello! You can use a USB-C to HDMI adapter (if you have an Android) or a Digital AV Adapter (if you have an iPhone) to connect your phone to the M189! If you have any additional questions, feel free to reach out at [email protected]
