    This mini projector is great for the travaler or anyone that wants a small projector to use anywhere.I just got it and am testing now and for the price this thing impresses.I am using it with a roku and it works great.the speaker is perfectly fine for personal use.I am also charging it with an anker power bank via usb-c and it truly is a take anywhere use anywhere setup.I am actually using it on ECO mode and the picture is very watchable in the dark.I also notice this stays cool during use and case does not even seem warm...been on for an hour now in my test.I havent tried my phone via USB-C so cannot comment on that as I planned to use a roku and my phones data connection if I was camping or somewhere without wifi...all in all a great mini projector and as long as you understand what it is and its use you wont be disappointed.

    Ultra Portable Projector

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

    The Miroir M190 is marketed as an ultra portable projector, small enough to fit in your pocket but powerful enough to project as large as 80”. I see it as a pocket television on-the-go, just as long as your destination has nice, white walls in a dark room to project on. The M190 accepts HDMI and USB-C as input, and even doubles as a USB-A 5V power source for your streaming devices. It can be charged with the provided AC adapter and charges to full in about 3-4 hours. Runtimes vary, but I was able to squeeze out about 1.75-2 hours per run. It does come equipped with a built-in 3-watt speaker for sound as well as a 3.5mm audio jack for headphones and the like. To turn it on, it has a slide button that doubles as a lens protector; open the lens and the unit turns on, close and it turns off. It has a manual focus dial for sharpening the 480p projection. Lastly, it has a very, very sturdy built-in metal kickstand to tilt the projection up, which will auto vertical keystone based on the angle of the projector. So here are some use-case gotchas if you plan on purchasing the M190: It has to be square to the wall it is projecting to if you want a rectangle image. It will not adjust for horizontal keystone, so you’ll get a sideways trapezoid effect. This is not the case for vertical keystone as it will try to correct itself. It will only correct itself to a ceiling if it’s perfectly perpendicular (stand is at full tilt). The keystone correction assumes you’re still projected to a wall with anything less than 90 degrees of tilt. Here’s a nicety: You can keep the M190 plugged into power. This will also help greatly if you intend to use its USB-A 5V power source to power your streaming device. I think that for its purpose as a pocket projector, it gets the job done pretty well. It’s bright enough to project to any white wall and the image is quite alright for 480p. Since it is 480p, the screen door effect will become more apparent when increasing the projection size. I felt that 35”-50” projection is a perfect balance of clarity and size. The colors are a bit washed out, but it’s not unbearable. Reminds me of a TN panel for gaming. There are other “portable” projectors out there with higher resolutions and higher nits, but are they truly as portable as the M190? I can carry this little along with my Note 20 and watch movies in my hotel room when I’m traveling or even simply cast to the ceiling if I'm laying on the couch at home. Why not?

    A Decent Mini Projector

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

    A Decent Mini Projector Miroir’s M190 Mini Pro Projector is a portable and easy-to-use mini projector. This projector offers up to an 80” image and about 2 hours of battery life. The projector also works as a battery bank for your phone which I thought was a wonderful feature. After a couple of days using the projector, here are my complete thoughts. *TLDR at the bottom =============================================================== IN THE BOX/SET-UP: In the box, you get the projector, HDMI cable, AC adapter charger, and multiple plug adapters for the charger. I do want to add that the instructions were fairly vague. It doesn’t require much to set up, but instructions could’ve been a bit more explanatory. I tested the projector out using my Samsung Galaxy phone and laptop. The projector does have a USB-C port, so you’ll be able to project your phone’s screen using this projector. Although, a USB-C to USB-C cable is required. Screen mirroring through your phone is as simple as plugging your phone into the USB-C port on the projector. Projecting an image through your laptop can also easily be done by using the provided HDMI cable. There is no UI or physical buttons you need to mess with to start projecting an image. This mini projector is all plug-and-play! =============================================================== DESIGN/BATTERY LIFE: The projector is tiny enough to fit into a small bag or even your pants pocket. It also is lightweight coming in at just 1lb. The top does have a glossy finish which is a major fingerprint magnet. A personal preference, but a matte finish could’ve been a better choice to avoid all the fingerprints that the projector will be subjected to. The projector does have multiple ports on one side. A charging port, HDMI port, USB-C, USB-A, and an audio port. There is also a reset hole on this side if the projector ever freezes up. To adjust the height of the image, Miroir added an adjustable stand at the bottom. There is also a focus wheel next to the lens to better focus the image onto the surface you are projecting onto. To power on/off the projector, there is a switch that reveals the lens on the bottom. I do like how the switch acts both as an on/off switch and lens cover to protect it. Kudos to Miroir for this design! The only “buttons” on the projector are the capacitive buttons under the Miroir logo. These adjust volume and the letter M is used to switch between normal and ECO mode. There are also battery indicators in the upper left corner. From testing the battery out, I managed to get a bit less than the 2 hours indicated. Enough for a single movie or multiple short YouTube videos. Since this is a portable mini projector, I cannot complain too much about the battery life. But, if possible, I do recommend having the projector plugged into a power source. Overall, I give the design a 7/10. Ports would’ve worked better if they were in the back but that would also mean that there would need to be another way to adjust the height of the projector. A tripod maybe? =============================================================== IMAGE QUALITY/SOUND: The projector offers 200 lumens of brightness which Mirior states works best in a dark to semi-lit room. From testing this out, I would not agree with this. The image appears best in a completely dark room/area. Even a little bit of light will significantly reduce image visibility. Image quality is not HD since the resolution is only 480p. But using the projector in a dark room should help maximize the image quality. Image projection size is great as it can project up to an 80” screen. Overall, I’ll give image quality a 6/10. Not the best image quality, but for a mini projector, I do think it is acceptable. Sound is not the best with this projector. It will get by in a small room but in a bigger area, I do recommend having an external speaker since the projector’s sound is a bit muffled. I connected a Bluetooth speaker to my laptop and then completely lowered the volume on the projector. Sound is a 5/10. =============================================================== CONCLUSION/TLDR: If you are looking for a home theater projector, I would certainly steer away from the Mirior Mini Pro Projector. This projector does simply not offer the image quality and sound for a home theater vibe. But if you are looking for a projector to take on the go, I do recommend you try this one out. The mini projector offers up to an 80” image and a little less than 2 hours of battery life. The projector also works as a battery bank for your phone and can fit into your pocket. The projector works best in a dark room as even a modest amount of light will lower image visibility. I do believe the price is high for what you are getting but if the price isn’t one of the factors in looking for a projector, I do recommend you try this one out.

    THE BREAKDOWN: This Miroir M190 Mini Pro Projector is perfect for a portable simple easy to use projector. The main things abouts this projector is that it is small, light and easy to use. This item comes with the projector, HDMI cable, charger which has multiple different AC plug types. Along with a very non informative instruction manual, granted it isn’t much to get set-up, but the instructions were not that great. The setup was pretty self-explanatory, you can use your laptop, tablet or phone or whatever device you have to connect to the projector either by USB-C or HDMI. This is really a plug and play device. This thing is very small and compact. It measures about 7/8 inch thick, 6 inches long and 3.75 inches wide. The projector weighs almost 1 lb. It does have too many buttons to mess with, it has a focus button, a lens cover switch (which turns the projector on and off). There are 3 buttons under the Miroir logo, an “M” which switches the device to normal and ECO mode, the “+” and “-“ that adjust the volume and the battery level indicator lights on the top by the lens. There is also a stand to adjust the height of the image at the bottom of the device. The battery is said to be rated at 2 hours and I found that it made it to that mark several times before running out of juice. My preference would be to have it plugged into a battery source if you are using it indoors. The projector itself is only 200 lumens. The company recommends semi lit or dark rooms to use this device. In my opinion it needs to be dark to make the best out of it. Especially since this is only 480p. This device can also project up to 80 inches. The sound isn’t really that great in open area but does sound better in a smaller space. If it were me I would use a Bluetooth speaker for sound with this one. PRO’s: -Small and compact -2-hour battery life -HDMI and USB-C compatible CON’s: -Only 480p -Sound/speakers need improvement -Must be used in a dark room SUMMARY: Overall, this product worked as intended, and I would recommend this to a friend if they are in the market for device like this that is portable and gets the job done.

    Compact mini projector with limited features

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

    Miroir’s M190 Mini Pro is a very compact and portable mini projector that offers up to 80” image with two hours of battery life. In the box, it came with a projector, HDMI cable, AC adapter with multiple plugs for the charger. Setup is relatively easy. I have connected the projector with a power adapter and connected the HDMI cable to the laptop/projector. It is plug and play type and no special configuration or adjustments are needed. I have connected Galaxy S7+ tab with USB C to USB C cable to do screen mirroring and it worked without any issues. The projector is very compact in size and lightweight which can be carried easily in a backpack. It has various ports like Charging, HDMI, USB-C, USB-A, and audio ports on one side and it would have been better designed if the ports were on the backside of the projector. The height can be adjusted with the adjustable stand at the bottom and focus can be adjusted with the wheel next to the lens. The battery life is reasonably good to allow us to watch one movie without charging during a trip. This projector offers 200 lumens of brightness, and it is recommended for dark rooms. Due to limited brightness, it is not recommended to use during daytime or with bright light situations. The resolution is only 480p and image quality is reasonably good even though with low resolution. It can project up to 80”. The sound quality is not great as it offers only a 3-watt built-in speaker. However, I was to use my external speaker by connecting with a 3.5mm audio cable with the projector. This projector is not a replacement for professional projectors or TVs. It is easy to carry during trips to watch programs slightly bigger screen size during hotel stays or cabins. I would suggest getting the model with 1080p resolution and higher lumens of brightness as this model has only 480p resolution and 200 lumens.

    Not great for home, but great for on the go

    I will first say, I am a fan of the M190 Mini Pro Projector. That being said, I would definitely say there is a bit of a learning curve with it, and for me, trial and error. Firstly, as with most stuff, it is more Apple friendly than android. The manual said I would need a USB-C to USB-C to connect my android device but this did not work for me. I had to go purchase an HDMI to USB-C adapter to connect my Samsung Note 10+ to the projector. Once I did this, the projection presented my phone on the screen and it looked like a computer desktop. A touchpad appeared on my phone screen and I was able to hover around on the screen, select whatever app I wanted to display and go from there. A few pros and cons from my experience: PROS - Fairly easy use once connected - Fits easily in my purse - Decent battery life; lasted through a 102-minute movie - Has a focus slider - Worked well up to about 80 inches - Has an HDMI, USB-C, audio jack, and USB port as well as a reset button in case it freezes up (which hasn't happened just yet) - It can charge your phone like a power bank! CONS - USB-C to USB-C instruction did not work for me - Room needs to be completely dark to see projection; even a little light significantly dims it - Needs a protective case; it feels fragile - Also needs a tripod or something it can be propped up on - Not great audio; an external speaker is definitely needed For a portable projector, this is a great option, however don't expect a "home theater quality." Also, at price point is a bit extreme for what you get, but if the price isn't a deterrent, this will be a great Christmas gift this year.

      Hi, thanks for your feedback. Sorry to hear the Samsung device not providing USB - C video directly. Some Android devices provide USB - C video thru there port and some require an adapter. The M190 has a built-in tilt, up to 90 degrees. No tripod is necessary.

    Super compact, just not super. I really like the overall package offered in this super compact projector. It’s super attractive and none of the inputs, levers on the case, or adjustable knobs get in the way of keeping in a tight space like your pocket. Although I think it would be best to keep this in a case and in a bag. I’d hate to ruin the nice polished finish on this unit. There are more than enough inputs to take care of whatever you are going to connect to it. Using a laptop, a USB-C to HDMI adaptor and the provided HDMI cable I was able to get a picture that was effortless and had no hiccups. What wasn’t so obvious was how to turn it on. The instructions give a schematic, that’s also projected on startup from the unit itself, but it doesn’t quite show how to turn it on. You need to pull back the built-in lens cover for it to turn on. Maybe it’s just me, but I didn’t find that intuitive. However, I understand the design choice. The auto screen adjustment function was a real nice surprise. It can detect what angle it is being tilted at and automatically adjusts the picture to appear flat against a surface that is parallel to the floor. It makes the setup super easy. I feel the picture I was able to get was respectable. It’s what you would expect for 854x480 resolution. The photo I have provided is actually pretty poor compared to what I was really seeing. And this was likely more along a 90" projection too wish is a bit outside what is recommended. Initially, I wanted to be able to say this should include Bluetooth. But when you consider what you are likely going to connect to it already has it, it just doesn’t make sense. I see this as a perfect way to show high contrast and to the point presentations on the go. Or something to show movies where seeing all the details isn’t required. Both scenarios are just right for this projector. And the portability of this is exactly what you’ll be looking for in those situations.

    Miroir M190 Mini Pro Projector Just Okay

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

    I was pleased to get this projector and give it a whirl as it's the first projector I have used. However, because of that reason, I found it quite irritating that the instructions were so bare bones I really couldn't make out what was what setting it up. I got the Digital AV adapter so then plugged it into my iPad and proceeded to play some You Tube videos. I had fully charged it overnight and it seems to hold a decent charge with 4 white lights across the top showing you how much battery is left. After using it for about an hour and a half the battery was nearly exhausted. It does come with an AC adapter so you can always just leave it plugged in and no worries with battery life in that case. There is a built-in tilt stand on the bottom for adjusting up to 90 degrees to fit your wall or ceiling with the picture but no screw in adapter to use a tripod, something I wish it had. Of course missing a remote is a big issue as well, unless you are using a Roku device or one with its own remote. There is a slide switch on the bottom that will turn on the projector lamp and that's also how you turn it off. There are different ports on one end...a USB C Charge/Video, a USB C, an HDMI port, a USB charging port where you can use as a battery backup for your mobile device and a 3.5mm audio jack. There is a manual turn wheel to adjust the picture quality (limited in my opinion) and it has auto keystone. This particular model has up to 200 L brightness and 480p native resolution and 1080p input. You can get an image up to about 80" which I did on my living room wall and the 3 watt speaker was adequate for listening although I feel an external set of earbuds or speaker would be much better. I took several photos of the videos I watched and they look pretty decent, although actually on my iPad were much crisper and deeper in color. The room was totally dark. This unit is small and compact, will fit easily in your purse but a bit large for someone's shirt pocket in my opinion. One other thing that I didn't like was that it has a piano black finish and oh my goodness! Fingerprint magnet! But I just wiped it clean after I was done using so good as new again. On the top you will see a + and - sign plus an M. There is NO mention at all of what these do in the enclosed instruction sheet but I discovered the + and - adjust the sound level and I found out the M changes the Mode from regular to Eco to conserve battery life. All in all I feel for the money there are better projectors to choose from with a few more features and definitely more instructions for usage, especially to a newbie using projectors. Other than that it did what it was supposed to and I cannot complain about the picture quality considering the small size and resolution on this model. I would recommend it for certain usages but not for the majority of folks wanting a movie projector.

    I've always wanted one of these and this was my opportunity to get one. I have to admit, I'm not quite as pleased with it as I had hoped. It is super cute, and very very convenient, but the quality really isn't quite what I was hoping it would be. The good: My gosh this thing is cute and so portable. It weighs practically nothing and fits in a jacket pocket. It comes with an HDMI cable, but I'll need to get an HDMI adapter to use it with my phone. The attached stand works well. The usability is pretty intuitive. The volume can be adjusted directly on the little guy. It also came with a nice variety of electrical adapters so I can take this travelling pretty easily. The not so good: There isn't much in the way of adjustments you can make with the picture. Brightness is what it is and if there is any light around you the picture is going to look very washed out. Picture quality looks ok in a very dark room, but I won't be able to use this for any work meetings or much viewing during the day because there's just too much light around. The focus is persnickety and I can't tell if that's because I'm so used to HD screens, if there was too much light, of if I'm just too clumsy with the focus nob. The bad (if you're old and cranky like me): I really value printed instructions and miss them if they're not there in a complete form. It's really cute and generally convenient, but I don't know that I'd recommend it to a friend, especially if they needed something like this for work.

    THIS FITS THE BILL. We have wanted a projector for a long while, and finding one that delivered everything we needed was beginning to feel cumbersome. Many were way too big, needed special this and special that, must have so much space away from wall or a whole in ceiling setup, and many came with a hefty price tag. Here came the Miroir M190. We never liked the idea of having tv's in bedrooms, especially our children's room. So we thought this would be perfect and it is. We are able to plug it in (if low battery), or just hook it up to any device (if internal battery is fully charged) and play. When the movie is over, we simply grab the projector and put it away until next time. No fuss, no bunch of cords. It is mini for sure, super compact, extremely portable, can hook up to different devices, especially our Apple TV. We upgraded our Apple TV, so we have an older one that was just sitting around. We were so thrilled to see that we can use it with the HDMI cord that's provided in box. It was as simple as plug and play. We couldn't be more excited, that our kids can now watch movies in their room for movie nights, while us parentals can enjoy our own movies in our space without worrying about content or noise levels. I will say that having to find or buy additional cords and adapters are a bit frustrating if you want to connect iPhones or iPads, as it has to be a video cable and not one of the regular cables that comes with the phones and tablets already. Which i'm sure we all have 1 million of. Another frustrating issue is having to get your computer, in my case, MacBook Pro to the right display to get the image to appear on the Miroir. Once that is solved, it's golden. The sound isn't too bad coming from this tiny device. We haven't tried to see if we can hook it to external speakers as yet, but that's something that the hubster would have to dive into. But man it can get pretty loud, and it doesn't seem to have much distortion, from what I can hear. This little thing is mighty powerful. The picture is pretty darn clear as well. Especially for what it is, price point, and size. Wow, that's really all I can say. You can manually adjust the sharpness and clarity of the image by the turn of a button, and to turn it on is very simple. There's no external buttons, but you can tap on the top to adjust modes (still figuring that one out), and adjust volume levels. One of my fave features is that it can be angled at 90 degrees, WHAAAAAA! The kids get in their tent and hang out of it while looking onto the ceiling to watch movies or hang out in their bunkbeds and watch it on the wall across the room. It is such a cool device. We haven't had the opportunity to take it out for play dates as yet. Maybe next year (you know the "Panini" aka Rona). but i'm sure it'll be a hit with all of their friends when their parents see how awesome this projector is. It can run very warm-hot to touch but that hasn't affected its operation. You can hear the fan working but its not distracting. All in all it is a wonderful little beast and if you've never heard of this brand before, I definitely recommend giving them and this M190 a shot. You will not be disappointed. I got my eyes on you Miroir. Kudos

    Ultra-Portable Projector Great travel accessories for professionals on the go! I travel to client locations for business meetings and there is no better portable projector than Miroir M190 that's under $200. Pros • Light weight and ultraportable, comes with a 2 hr battery back-up and an AC adapter for extended use. Took about 2 hours to fully charge the battery out of the box • Plug and Play device, no software to download. • Integrated kickstand allows you to project on to any screen or your home celling! • Sharp image (Hi-Def) and no lag when playing movies and can project on a 80 inch screen without loss of fidelity. • Can connect to your phone and iPad (via USB C) or to a PC (via HDMI). Comes with an audio out jack to connect to external speakers. • Descent brightness (200 Lumens) for office use and to watch movies at night. Cons • Took me a bit to figure out on how to charge (via USB C) and power ON the device. Some instructions in the box would help. • Comes with a inbuilt 3-watt speaker which is not loud enough for playing movies. This is expected give the small footprint. • Wish it supported Wi-Fi connectivity to allow remote casting or via an app Highly recommend it for professionals on the go! This my new travel companion.

    I really wanted to give this Miroir M190 projector a good review, it looked very promising. Overall, it is quite lacking for the price. First off, out of the box, the company has focused more on how many languages it can provide and electrical adapters it can cram at you. Nothing necessarily wrong with that, but keep in mind this is a global designed product. Its connection instructions are super basic and pretty much only point out the types of devices you can connect. If you want any further instruction, you have to go on its website which then you can access a PDF and it will guide you through its set up more thoroughly. In order for you to connect to your phone and use the projector as a display, you must get a high speed usb-c to usb-c cord that can handle audio and video for android phones, and a special Iphone adapter to use on your Iphone. A standard charging cable will not do. The online instructions say there is a usb-c to usb-c cable provided in the box, but there is not. I had to go and buy a new cable just to use my phone. The box does come with a tiny 3 footish hdmi to hdmi cable though, which you can use to plug in your other devices like a game system or a dvd player. When connecting to a Samsung phone, it switches the phone to Samsung-Dex, which essentially turns your phone into a desktop on the projection, and your phone turns into a touchpad to move a mouse and select things. It is kind of neat, but a real burden to use effectively The specs on this projector are not great. It only outputs in 480p, and accepts a 1080p input. So it actually downgrades your quality. The battery life is only rated at 2 hours, which isn't bad, but maybe if it output in 1080p at least then it would be more worth it. It took roughly 7 hours to charge the battery after depleting it. You can keep it plugged in while you watch stuff so that does help. While it seems to make its focus having a DLP projector, it does not do much for the quality. It has very low lumens and is very difficult to see in dim lit rooms, but does look much better in pure dark rooms. The projector turns on by a slider switch on the bottom under the lense. It takes a few seconds to turn on once you open the cover. Once it turns on, it takes you to a basic connection screen, like the one that is included in the box. Once you plug in a source and the source is powered on, it will automatically switch to that source. If you have multiple sources hooked up, you can tap the "M" on the top of the projector and it will switch the source between usb-c and hdmi. The focus adjust on this is in a decent spot, but more of its focus is out of focus and you have a tiny grain of sand spot that you need to land on to get the focus just right. The top of the projector also has volume up and down buttons to use during playback.. Honestly, the speaker in this projector is probably the best thing about it. During playback, the speaker gets loud and it clear to listen to. They did a great job with that. Another main point this projector wants to focus on is its size. it is very small, about the size of my Note20 Ultra, just about an inch thick. It does fit into your pocket, and is easy to carry around. The only thing that would make this mini projector stand out as easy to carry would be if it had bluetooth or wifi support. Sure it fits in your pocket, but when you have to carry a charger and HDMI or USB-C cord with you to, it doesn't make it very much a stand out feature. None the less, it is small, and easy to carry by itself. Overall, this projector was a big disappointment. It would fit better into a low $100 price range, but for over $200 this Miroir M190 just doesn't cut it. I don't know if their bigger projectors are any better, but for this, save your money. I will say it would be very well suited to take on camping trips or something, but with a 2 hour battery life and 7 hours to recharge, it is hard to be practical.

      Hi, sorry to hear you have issues. Charging time is 4-5 hours with the correct AC Adapter Charger. The M190 scales your image from 1080p to 480p resolution while optimizing the image quality for cinema viewing. Apple devices, except for units that have built-in USB - C, require an Apple Digital AV adapter. Apple does not have HDMI built-in to their phones and some other devices. If you have an iPad or MacBook, the unit will plug directly into the M190, with a USB - C video cable.

      As to the room environment, Miroir recommends controlling the lighting environment when watching a movie. Any lights from windows or overhead lighting will wash out the picture unless you have close over 500 lumens will increase the cost and size of the unit. MiroirUSALLC

    Miroir states "small enough to fit in a pocket" which is true, but it better be your Dad's (yep that's me) cargo short pocket. If your rockin' a suit, possibly a jacket pocket, but the weight would be awkward. So its technically true it will fit in a pocket, but not sure why. If you got the budget, the M600 should probably give a superior viewing experience since it is 1080p and this resolution is 854x480. So SD resolution, but 16:9 viewing. With that being said, its not bad. Definitely need to dim the lights for any use. If doing a presentation, you'll want large easy fonts if going larger than 60” screen size. Video size is okay at any size, obviously more crisp at lower screen size. If you are going for that promotion or new customer, may not want to pull this out, your computer screen would be a better solution. However, just showing off things with friends and family or camping in the tent in the backyard or outdoor movie night, it's totally fine and fun to use in those situations. The device speaker isn’t bad, a bit of treble as expected, but spoken words sound good. Packaging was a little underwhelming, not much instruction on how to use the device in the print material, but it isn’t hard to figure it out. Package contents are charger/ac block with multiple different outlet options and an HDMI cable. When I first plugged it to charger, nothing would happen. I then turned it on and tested the device with my laptop and then later plugged it after the device turned off and it started charging. I’m not sure if there is a feature when you pick it up it senses the movement, but when doing so it will flash the current battery charge, but not all the time. I cannot seem to replicate it at will. Again the documentation is weak, so I assume it must be a feature or maybe there is a soft touch button that activates it? Overall, it's a fun toy for occasional use in those situations that you want a screen and don’t have one or would be impractical. Again if you have the budget the M600 would probably be better and would get used more. Toss a roku player, Chromecast, etc and you have a great device.

      Hi, Thanks for your feedback. The charging circuit is in a suspended state to protect the battery and prevent drainage during shipping and storage. For first time use the AC Adapter Charger needs to be plugged in first and open the lens cover to activate the device. MiroirUSALLC

    What I like the most about the Miroir M190 Mini Pro Projector is how portable it is without compromising on quality. It delivers a surprisingly sharp and bright image, making movie nights and presentations super convenient. The compact design means I can take it anywhere, and setup is quick with HDMI and USB connectivity. The built-in speakers are decent, but I prefer connecting external speakers for a better audio experience. It’s perfect for small spaces, travel, or casual entertainment. If you want a lightweight, high-quality mini projector, this one is definitely worth considering!

    I especially like this projector because of a small size and lightweight. I have owned projectors in the past which have been three and four times the cost and have done about the same quality. Is a great little projector for sales meetings. You won’t be using this for home theater but for the price really fills that business niche.

    For its size the projector does very well.I liked that you're able to connect to it and a bluetooth speaker and have a great entertainment experience. Would definitely recommend for someone with little space to spare and wants to keep budget in mind. If you use the samsung hdmi to type c cable youll have full use of samsung dex and it won't block vidios from playing

    Great quality compact device for traveling. Absolutely love the size being so compact and the case is a good investment as well. Great sound and video. A little annoying having to use phone to control Netflix but otherwise seamless experience.

    Good but not great, needs a very dark room to be worthwhile for anything, but in a dark room it looks pretty good. It has a nice automatic keystone feature which is helpful for these portable projectors. In short, it works in a pinch, but not great in lit rooms.
