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.

Excellent Projector but with caveats
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Miroir HD Pro M289 projector sits in an awkward middle ground. I call it an awkward middle ground because it has so many great things going for it, but a couple of minor annoyances that keep me from fully recommending it to a friend. I'll start with the things I love about this projector. First and most importantly it is 1080P! You will be hard pressed to find another projector in this price range, and size that is true 1080P. Most of my media library is in 1080P, so image quality is is great! When the projector is set up at 80-100 inches, picture quality was still very good. Text was sharp and crisp, and I could not see any pixelation from about 6 feet away. The projector is quite bright for its size, but it works best in a dark / very dimly lit room. Miroir claims it is 400 ansi lumens, and I think that sounds about right. Colors and Contrast are also quite nice if you use an actual projector screen when set up. Colors are contrast are still decent and usable on a white or grey wall in your home. Build quality is excellent. It has a nice sturdy build, and I am not worried about just tossing it in my backpack loosely when I'm on the go. The projector lens is protected with a sliding cover that also acts as its On/Off switch. It has an HDMI input, a USB C input that can charge it and also be used as a display input. There is a standard USB port that can power a streaming stick or any other media device that you connect to the projector. The projector comes with a proprietary charging cord, but you can also use a USB C charging brick. The battery charges in about 2 hours, and the battery lasts about 3 hours when not connected. The projector also has a small convenient kick stand tucked in under it that you can use to prop it up a bit in a pinch! It also has a standard tripod mount underneath that can be used on any tripod or monopod. Stay with me! Let me mention the things I don't like about this projector. The first thing you'll notice is that the speakers aren't very great. Don't get me wrong, they are usable.. but I would not recommend you try to use them for an immersive movie watching experience. They can get loud , considering its size, but they have no OOMPH, no bass, no depth and they have that tinny sound that is just irritating at max volume. Second, it has a manual focus slider. And it is so "precise" that the slightest touch will throw the image out of focus. Given, it does not easily move , it takes a little forceful nudge to move the focus slider, so you don't have to worry about accidental movements putting it out of focus. But it takes a few tries to get the image in focus. I wish this baby had an autofocus engine. There is no remote control for this so you'll have to sit near the projector to make all your adjustments, and the buttons are flat and hard to find in the dark. In a completely dark room, I found myself pressing the input switch button instead of the volume up or down buttons when trying to raise or lower the volume. The buttons are close together and they are all flat so youre bound to press the wrong button in a dark room when trying to adjust volume. Lastly. There is no built in OS. This projector heavily relies on you connecting a laptop, a tablet, a phone , a media stick to it. Everything you have to connect to this projector suddenly makes it not so portable. This is me nit picking, and all the good things about this projector outweigh the bad. But don't purchase this projector if you don't want to carry around a laptop/ tablet, multiple adapters and speakers to connect to this for the best experience. I'd recommend this projector to business people or professionals looking for a portable projector to use when making presentations. I believe this is who this projector is targeted at. It would make a perfect projector for those situations.

Great portable projector for compact usability
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a compact and portable projector, very handy and delivers Full HD quality. The picture quality is crisp and it can project to a max size upto 100". The size of this projector is comparable to the mini cable box and weighs less than 2 lbs, easily fits in a laptop bag. It comes with built-in speakers, but nothing fancy and too small to hear from a distance. I connected external speakers to the 3.5mm aux audio port and it was much better. This projector comes with built-in battery, which means you can use it without power cord. The specs say you can use it for upto 2 hours on battery, which I haven't tested completely to see the capacity. There is a small kick stand and a threaded tripod mount for easy portability. I will be testing the tripod option to see how well it can hold. You get the standard HDMI connection, but the best part is that it comes with USB-C port that I was able to connect my Surface Pro tablet as well as my phone and start projecting instantly, a much better way to show the photos and videos. Overall, it is a great projector that you can carry around for portable use and outdoor movie nights.

Used product in a new box.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Drove 30 minutes to purchase this before leaving on a camping trip. Was looking forward to movie night with our son, nieces, and nephews. Got home, unboxed it and apparently someone had the same idea before me. This thing looks like it’s been drug down the road. Scratched up. Instruction manual has water damage. Best Buy mentioned a restocking fee of returned. Let’s hope not.
