Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the HD Pro M289 1080p DLP Mini Projector's excellent picture quality, portability, and convenient battery life, making it ideal for watching movies on the go. However, some users find the brightness insufficient in well-lit environments and the fan noise noticeable. The small size is a plus for many, but the kickstand's sturdiness is a concern for some.

    Great Portable Projector

    This projector is simple to use. The only controls are the volume up and down buttons, manual focus and a third button that the instructions label as switching between standard mode and eco mode. In reality the third button switches between the HDMI input and the USB C input. A little experimentation found that pressing between the volume up and down arrows switched between modes. I love it that the keystone control is automatic. Perhaps not quite as controllable as the manual keystone controls on my old projector, but works well. So far I have taken this to my office conference room for presentations twice and viewed a couple of movies. This projector is much brighter than my previous pico-projector which is several years old now. The picture is bright and clear. I presented a Power Point presentation and a number of spreadsheets using this projector and my phone, both on battery power. Everyone was able to clearly see my spreadsheets and Power Point reports. While it's not as bright as our built in projector (which has almost 10 times the lumens), it is adequately bright and clear. The projector ran on battery power one day for an hour and fifteen minutes with battery to spare. One night I streamed a couple of TV episodes onto the hotel ceiling. Another night I streamed a movie onto a white wall on my back porch. It's really fun to see a large image in a place that you wouldn't ordinarily see one. I love this projector, it's simple to use, portable and I can use it for business and travel.

    Can’t give any stars but it made me give one! This projector didn’t have auto focus or a remote and was supposed to be an updated dated version from my previous one from Miroir! Also double the size of my other one. That one quit working on me too. Horrible, it was returned. Not buying Miroir anymore.

    I bought this product to use for an outdoor movie night for my nieces and nephews. It was going to be so much fun! Not only was the picture quality lacking, but after not even an hour, the product shut down and wouldn’t turn back on. Movie night was over before It even started. Embarrassing.... especially for $400! Additionally, the salesman told me I’d need an HDMI cable that I would have to purchase in addition... didn’t need that either as this product comes with one. What a waste.

    I am returning it. I have the older version of this and it is much better. The "auto" keystone on this doesn't work for anything, and it has manual focus.....my car can drive itself, but I have to turn a wheel like we had in the 80's to focus this thing....nowhere near worth the money they want for it. Skip this and buy a different one.

    Is less than one star possible? This thing worked for five minutes one evening. Next day it displayed "no input" no matter what it was connected to. The manufacturer's web site where I went for assistance was just as (dys)functional: something about closed down for "maintenance", I think, but it was displayed only in French. DO NOT BUY!

    Outstanding Projector For A Small Meetings/Travel!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    TLDR: The Miroir - HD Pro Projector surprised me with how well built it is, its ease of use, and its size. Miroir recommends the HD Pro for small meetings of 5-10 and 10 really is probably the max size of a group you want to use this with, otherwise the room is probably going to be too big to present where everyone can see the screen well. While you can make the projection up to 100", it had better be pitch black if you do, otherwise I would say 50" is perfect for a moderately lit room. The Miroir HD Pro is a solid, well-built machine, and is perfect for small presentations and travel. Full Review: OK, so my wife was complaining that the meeting room she has at work is huge and has what is probably a 15 year old monster of a projector built into the ceiling. On top of that, the projector bulb is probably about 5 years past its prime and so it really kind of sucks all around for usefulness. My wife has a small team that she brings together every other week or so to keep the up to date on what the higher ups are doing and what is coming down the line. Being a 4'11" soft-spoken dynamo that she is, she prefers a smaller space to hold meetings but the room she likes has nothing more than a table and dozen chairs. The company she works for also will not spring for a projector for her. I won't say they are cheap, but they are frugal to the point that it hurts. So that is the set-up for why my wife was really wishing for a small projector that she could use to make life a little easer for her and her team. When I saw the the Miroir HD Pro, I thought we might just have a winner, so I got it. When the projector arrived I was flabbergasted at how compact this thing really is. I knew it was going to be small but I guess I didn't really look at the dimensions in the description to see just how small it is. That being said, this could have the feel of a toy but instead has the feel of a nicely built machine. It is a solid little device without being too heavy. For $450, it had better be a solid, well-built machine and it is. The HD Pro is also dead easy to use, which is great because while my wife is not a complete luddite, she is not incredibly tech savvy. Sometimes I think she only married me for constant on-call tech support! I know that's why my parents had me (at least it feels like it every time I go to visit them). The plugs are easy to get to and are well-labelled. On top of that there are only three buttons, a focus wheel, a kickstand, and a little nub to slide open the lens cover. The button with the circle on it switches back and forth between the two inputs (HDMI and USB-C) and that is it. The other two buttons are your volume up and down. The projector is turned on by sliding the lens cover over. Pressing the other buttons though with the lens cover closed will show you how much juice is available in the battery. I kind of also thought that maybe this would be how you would use it as a 7000 mAh external battery for an iDevice but the projector only seems to output power through the USB-A port when it is fully up and running, which I'm sure cuts down on the run time of the projector off of AC power. If you have an iPad Pro with the USB-C plug, it might be able to project and power the iPad at the same time but I was unable to check since mine still has the Lightning port. That being said, if you have the AV dongle for the iPad, you can connect your iPad to this using the included HDMI cable (which is about 2' long), and then use a USB-A to Lightning cable to keep the device powered up since the dongle has both ports for just such a reason. Don't let the lack of controls worry you. The Miroir HD Pro does an outstanding job correcting for the keystone image you get from projecting at an angle. It also does a fairly good job of auto-focus but you can always dial that in a little better with the focus wheel. NOTE: Your focus is going to be highly dependent on the quality of your 'screen', whether that is a real projection screen, or a wall, or a bedsheet that has been hung up. The walls in the small conference room where my wife has her meetings have the orange peel texture on them and that really throws off the sharpness of the image. We solved that with two sheets from a huge post-it-note easel pad - et voilà cheap projection screen! Oh, and while the box the projector comes in says that the HD Pro has two 3W speakers, both the Best Buy site and the Miroir site say 2W and I'm fairly sure that in-fact the case. While the built in speakers are good for a small meeting, you will not be hosting any dance party with them. The only other thing that the HD Pro comes with in the box is a nice compact AC brick that is a lot like a black Apple laptop adaptor with flip up plugs. It is also really pretty light. I would have liked to see perhaps some kind of slip case for this considering the price but since it will be mostly just sitting in my wife's office cabinet when she is not using it, I guess it is not going to get banged around too much. That being said, my wife and I did take it with us on an overnight trip for New Years. The hotel is really nice but hasn't yet jumped on the bandwagon of some of the big chains that are now installing systems that let you sign into the streaming services through the TV in the room. We packed the HD Pro and one of our Amazon Fire TV sticks and it worked beautifully! We got to watch some shows while we waited for the party to kick off that evening. We are definitely going to do this when we travel back home to see our folks because both sets are still living circa early 2000's or so. I only have one little quibble when it comes to the HD Pro and this may only be with my device. Some little thermal pad or something got caught in the seam between what should be two tightly fitting parts so it kind of spoils the fit and finish of that little section. Other than that, this thing was built to some fairly tight tolerances. Really, that is the only thing I could find to complain about on this thing but I felt that I had to find something. Back when I was in the military, if the only thing they could gig you on during inspection was something like a single piece of fuzz on your uniform or your boot laces not being even, you knew you had your stuff together. This is a bit like that. If you are in need of a compact, well-built, projector that is easy to use, look no further than the Miroir HD Pro M289. It is pricy but is worth it in my opinion.

    Nice Unit For Specific Needs

    First thoughts: This thing is SMALL. I mean, I knew the dimensions before I received it, but once you hold it in your hand and see it, man it is portable! That is a good thing since my vision was to have an outdoor projector for the RV. This thing is perfect given it's portability. The unit feels well constructed and is simple to run. While I have not been able to "field test" it yet since the RV is in winter storage, I did try it out on our basement home theater screen. I was not disappointed. Operation was simple, picture was really pretty good for a unit that small and for my purposes, out in the woods onto a portable screen outside the RV in the dead of dark, it should be fantastic. The sound was adequate but for a unit this size, I was not expecting to be "blown away" by the sound but it certainly will deliver for how I plan on using it. In all, I would certainly recommend to friend, especially if portability is a premium. Good unit! **PLEASE NOTE** This product was provided to me at no cost in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. This review is exactly that: Honest and unbiased. The price played no role in the tone or honesty of this review.
