I have an Epson full size projector, and this doesn't beat that in quality and brightness. BUT, if you need something really small, easy and quick to set-up, decent built in speaker, this little guy is awesome.

This is my travel projector. I have thrown the images on the back of lifeguard posts in california, and in my various location.
Pros: manually adjusting focus, clear image, smaller than my phone, enjoyable for personal home studio,HDMI connections,micro usb charger
Cons: sound exists but is still not loud enough to stand alone, no screen mirroring compatability,

I purchased this projector for art projects and in this capacity it delivers beautifully. The display is brighter in a dimly lit room but it is still bright enough to view. It is small enough to travel comfortably with you and reasonably priced as well.

Unbelievably tiny yet works great. Nice to have the autonomy that a built-in battery provides. The resolution is on the low side by the numbers, but the images are quite clear. The only downside is that the image isn't very bright so be aware to use it in a darker room. The speaker is actually quite nice give the size of the unit.

I love this thing projects 50 inch screen on to the wall and is smaller then sell phone. Yes there one that higher brightness. But they are double or triple this. I got mine when it was on sale for $99.00 - $25 visa checkout bonus visa was running on bestbuy.com. So that plus best rewards certificates of $10. I end getting this thing for $65. There no way you can beat that kinda of value. This is in my daily go bag and pear it up with chromecast and you project anything to it. Love love it. My kid is enjoying it as well.

This projector is compact yet displays on the largest of walls so clearly! It is great for presentation on the go for the job or baby pics at a sweet sixteen party! The only drawback is having to mount it on books or a higher surface depending on your screen.

Bang for the Buck$$
Expect to get high end product results with this and you're looking in the wrong product.
If you have realistic expectations of this product, you will be delightfully pleased. Great pic for small conference room, small size, lightweight.
Want a better pic, add $300-500 to the price.
Great value for the price.

I was hesitant to purchase this projector due to the limited lumens. But the tiny size and battery were enticements. I was pleasantly surprised by the brightness and image quality for such a small projector. I also purchased a table-top screen and an iPhone cable adapter to use with this at conferences for a table-top display setup. This will be very portable and convenient for the intended use.
This projector would not be advisable if you are thinking about a solution for a group of people to watch a large display.

I love this little projector! While it isn't hd, the picture still looks great. It's very easy to set up and use. You can either plug it in while using it or run off its battery that lasts about two hours. I do recommend using another speaker with it as the built in speaker is pretty quiet. Definitely a great purchase!

This is a great little projector as long as the option to darken the room is available. Its lamp is not bright enough for use in a room with normal lighting. I needed it for classroom use during a lecture series, and my students needed to use their telephone flashlights in order to see to take notes. However, it is easy to use, and does everything that it is advertised to do.

This little guy works well for your home or personal use. It isn't the brightest and best used in a dark room or area but the picture is clear and the sound decent. For the money it's a steal especially if you can catch it on sale. You can certainly spend more and get a better projector but for work PowerPoints and home movies it's a great purchase.

This is a projector you can carry in your pocket. Very sleek and has outputs for devices with HDMI slot. I use my chromecast and roku sticks to stream through this projector and it's amazing. Not the brightest projector on the market, but in a dimly lit room it does the job. Would highly recommend if your looking for a modestly priced projector.

My mom wanted a projector to use while baking cakes. This was the perfect size for her. We ordered a stand that allowed her to tilt it facing the cake so she could put the image she wanted on the cake. She loves it and has only had to charge it once. She said the batter life was GREAT and that it didnt over heat while she was using it either.

Great price for what it does. Does not have the same performance as bigger projectors, but the money saved and portability is well worth it.

We bought this for fun, simple movie nights on the back deck and it works just fine. The performance for the price is better than expected and you can't beat the portability. The speaker works better than expected, but for a full movie experience plan on hooking up something externally.

I actually really like the projector. I brought it for simple reasons like projecting an image so I can trace it on walls or canvases, also to usein my classroom for watching special shows. It works perfectly.

It's Not A Bad Projector Just Not For Me...

It's a little projector that works but can be a big pain to use. This is my first Pico style projector so I wasn't sure what to expect. Its picture, considering the size, resolution and lumens was really good. I was of course using it outside and at night for movie night so no real light issues to interfere. Picture quality was great as well again considering its size and resolution. However with its size come certain problems that I had not contemplated. Oddly enough its size to me is its downfall. It doesn’t connect via Bluetooth or any other wireless method. This didn't seem to be a big deal at first until you realize most cables you’re going to use weight more than the projector. Problem being an HDMI cable wants to bend and have its own way so the projector wouldn't stay straight. Constantly trying to keep it from moving became a chore. Plugging an external speaker in wasn't bad and you really do need one as the internal speaker at least for us wasn't doing the job. Only real problem with sound was turning up and down the volume with the little buttons as it doesn’t have a remote and that darned HDMI cable would move the projector. I think if the unit could connect via Bluetooth or some other wireless technology it would have been a keeper but trying to keep the projector from moving made it an unpleasant experience. And in all honesty I can't think of any scenario where this projector would work as you will always need to connect via an HDMI cable. Sadly that was the only real problem. Any other complaints about picture quality, lumens, etc. should be expected considering the specs of the unit.

Everything I Expected for the Price

Yes, it's cheap, and not as high end as the hundreds or thousands of dollars more for the other projectors. Small and compact. I knew what it's capabilities and limitations were when I bought it, so I wasn't expecting very much. But it functions well for the price. Yes, you do need a nearly complete dark room to view comfortably, but it's everything previous reviews have mentioned. Not going to be a high-end product for the price, so don't expect it to be.
