    amazing starter projector. has great features and video quality and brightness is impressive. my only gripe is that using the Bluetooth if using to send audio to sound bar lags where lipsync is an issue. there isn't a menu item tov adjust audio delay or picture playback speed. and using 3.5mm audio while it works out won't give you full surround sound. I ended up getting an HDMI audio extractor and using that to split the audio out to optical and feeding just the video to projector which is working nicely added pictures of it on white wall ~12ft throw distance and also with 120" projector screen looks amazing on both

    I love the fact this comes with its own backpack and it considerably small so it is easy to take anywhere, A friend home, grandparents home for thanksgiving or Christmas or even camping, it even comes with its own screen so you don't have to buy that separately, and it was genuinely easy to set up we used a laptop and some external speakers while it does have its own Audio that is fine to use, we needed something louder and it was as easy as connecting the speakers to the Audio plug in. it comes with all the wires you need too so I didn't have to search for wires. the projector has 2 HDMI and 2 USBs and Audio. hopefully the pictures I attached can help you see exactly what you will get. The picture was great for the price and I have no complaints. I simply needed something for thanksgiving evening for a movie night for the whole family and this was perfect for that purpose!

    A perfect projector for outdoor or camping

    This projector is very suitable for outdoor activities or camping. We have recently purchased it for our 3-night camping trip and it adds a lot of value to our experience from packaging, setup to operate. The projector comes with a carrying backpack to protects it from scratch and water. Without this case, it could have been wet all over since we were travelling by foot to the camping site. We brought with us a hotspot and a Google Chrome cast to plug into the HDMI port and play videos directly from Youtube. The picture quality is quite impressive for the price. The project turns on very quickly compared to other projectors I have used. The 100" projector screen definitely helps with the picture quality, so don't forget to bring metal poles or wires to set it up. Overall, a good buy if you need something light and portable.

    It’s very compact. It is nice and portable. I love that came with the backpack and all the cables. I’m impressed at how easily to set the project up an have it ready to go. Once set up, I tried the Bluetooth option and was happy I didn’t have any issues connecting. Great quality of the picture and sound.

    The video quality is good with a quick and easy setup. The backpack is also high quality, so it is capable for camping entertainment if you want a compact projector. The projector can connect to you home Wi-Fi, so you can share/display the screen of your iPhone, android phone and Mac to the projector when your multi-devices are within same wifi. The sharing video is also easy and stable. I recommend this projector, it gives you a good experience with low cost!

    Love this new projector. I bought it for our newly renovated basement. Picture quality is great and sound quality is pretty decent. I was able to connect it to my apple phone and iPad to watch the movies. For better sound quality, I connected it to my external speakers and it was like having a theatre experience. This projector is easy to setup and operate. Comes with a cool backpack if you need to carry it for outdoor experience. Packaging is a great plus, comes with remote, HDMI cable, and even cleaning cloth. Kids love it and they are enjoying this projector.

    This is a great budget projector. It come with a nice backpack to carry it around. We intended on getting a projector screen for it, but after using it on an off-white wall, it works nicely for us. We tested out the different distance and can easily get about 140 inches screen size. We’re impressed with the video quality, although we do not have any other project to compared it to. Our room is pretty dark and we always leave the lights off when using the projector. This is a known thing with projector. Since this is not a smart project, we connected it to a firestick to stream show and movie and it works well for us. We also tried it with iOS cast and it works well. The built-in speaker is serviceable, but we plan to hook up an external sound bar to it to give us the theater atmosphere. My wife plan on using it outdoor when we have cook out with the kids to play movies for them as well.

    Light weight and feels solid. Image is very good and bright. The travel bag is actually a backpack that you can put on your back. Love the keystone correction function with just one dial - so easy.

    Great Starter or Upgraded Projector

    I wanted to upgrade my old mini projector I had gotten from Amazon since it started to overheat. First, I loved how this projector came with a backpack! Even though this isn't mini, you can bring the projector for outdoor movies at friends or go camping with. If you bring it out, you may want to bring an extension cable. The manual does a good job with troubleshooting if there are any problems trying to get the projector into focus. The projector turns on quite quickly, within 3-5 seconds. The noise is like a low air purifier/fan, its not loud at all. The quality of the picture is clear and you can adjust until it's sharp. The sound is crisp for our medium size living room. If you play this outside, you may need to sit closer to the projector or use a soundbar. Overall I think the quality is good for the price and I'm glad we upgraded from our old one.

    The projector was great! The unboxing process was easy and setup was fast. I also appreciated that the projector came with a great case to protect it, as I originally thought I would have bought one separately. I thought the image quality was great, especially for the price point. Other projectors with similar resolutions (1080p) sometimes cost a lot more. When we tested the projector, the image looked good with several different distances from the projector to the wall. The image was also clear enough with bright ambient lighting which was a plus. Overall, I was definitely satisfied with this product given its quality and price point and would recommend to others

    Fantastic, beautiful and reliable in quality. This is my evaluation of this product! This is a gift from my wife sent me! She knows that I like watching soccer games. But the TV in the lobby will always belong to Children's! Very helpless. Every time I watch a soccer game! I can only watch it on my phone. The screen is too small! Not exciting enough. This product perfectly solves this problem! You don't even need to buy a projection screen because you got it included. I don't want to downland any programs. I like the simplicity. The installation is very simple. Just follow the instructions to install. Five minutes will do. It also throghtfull equipped the mirror with a cover. To prevent the mirror from being damaged by external forces. My kid love watching cartoons on it too.

    To be honest, use and setup of this projector is great and easy. I have honestly no qualm’s and it is a great product. The issue I have is that on the BestBuy website, it says in the Specs under connectivity that “ HDMI Audio Return Channel (ARC) - Yes” but when I plugged in my arc supported soundbar, the audio never came through and continued through the projector. I will say that it has 2 HDMI ports, and neither say / indicate ARC support either.

    Was looking for a budget friendly projector to surprise the kids with a Drive-Inn movie night. Came across this projector and read the reviews which helped us decide to purchase this model. We made the right decision. Super easy to set up and use out of the box. Has a better-quality storage bag. Compact, light, easy to transport and store. Here are some of the features we like about it: • Portable, has its own carry bag (durable and strong) • Slim design not bulky • Easy to operate • Budget friendly, Great features and nice quality for a great price! • Remote control • Connection Cables • Wi-Fi / Bluetooth • Multiple connections We love making the right choice! Excellent product!

    A Great Find

    I've had a projector in my family room since 1995, I believe I've had 4 before this. I've long thought the holy grail of projectors would be a full HD LED projector that offered +2500 Lumens that has good, if not automatic keystone correction and it offered a decent zoom range so it could be positioned in a wide variety of locations. I have a 100" Da-Lite motorized screen that I paid more for than any of my projectors. It has a 1.3 gain, it probably weights close to 100 lbs. I tried to find out how many Lumens this projector has (as many new projectors that have hugely inflated claims), but I did not find it documented. And knowing it does not meet the zoom functionality I'd want, I decided to give it at try anyhow (it might end up as a xmas gift). My current projector is just over 21' from my screen, I know the sweet spot for this will be about 9' from my screen, so in the middle of my viewing room. Still I wanted to see if this LED based projector, was really true HD and if it was bright enough to use in my partially darkened room. Shades on the side walls but not the back wall (which is a open passway). So I put it about where I'd expect it to be based on the distance and size of my screen (9') and turned the projector on about 5s later the Yaber family gathering was displayed on my screen, it then went to the main menu. Here I aligned the output on my screen and focused the image so it was readable on the screen. The trapizoid shape on the screen I could almost make a perfect rectangle with the manual keystone correction ring right behind the the focus ring on the lens (this I'll later tell you was not the right thing to do). Well I'm up an running and it pretty bright. I connected to my wireless network, and updated the projectors firmware. I then get my projectors HDMI cable and connect it to the projector (doesn't everyone have a extra 30' HDMI cable behind their projector (I do, long story)). So within seconds I had the same sharks, that I just had on my screen, now being projected by the Yaber Pro on to the same screen. Much to my surprise I'd have called the brightness about the same as from my 250w Halogen based projector bulb (granted 1/2 the distance, but darns close in terms of brightness). I messed with the focus, and found I could not get text on the top of the screen and bottom to both have the same sharp focus. I figured this was due to the physical keystone correction not being quite accurate. In any case it was working, now to see how I could get my cloud based videos to stream from my tablet to the screen. The manual tried to make this sound simple just use Apple's screen mirroring to the projector. Well getting screen mirroring from my tablet to the screen was easy. But almost every streaming video app I tried would not transmit video to the projector (all blocked by HDCP copy protection, I suspect, as that's what the Disney+ app told me rather than a black screen (sound was sent it some cases). Here's the apps I tried, but none could not be used: Disney+, Vudu, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, HBO max, ATT WatchTV, AppleTV, Netflix, Movies Anywhere and Peacock+. I'm sure I could have found more, but at this point trying to use Screen Mirroring is a lost cause for me. So I ordered a Roku Express for next day delivery, this can be powered from the USB output of the projector and use a short HDMI cable into the projector, so no more power cords to the projector. This gave me some time to further inspect the other 2 keystone correction method the projector offers. I started messing with these before I set the manual keystone correction ring back to none (using both together did not yield good results). But both help in different ways the corner correction if you off center, and the trapezoid correction if your to high or too low. But this digital correction greatly improved the readability of text at top/bottom; not 100% sharp but much more acceptable than the keystone correction ring gave. This made me feel alot better about the quality of the image is was generating, it was true HD. Something I'd like them to add is a "signal" focus screen that shows big to small text, and lines that get closer and closer together vertically and horizontally, possible in multiple colors (RGB). The lack of a focus screen on a projector really makes getting the focus "tuned" in difficult. The next day I had my Roku Express box, after hooking it up, and going through it's setup, I'm really sorry I wasted so much time on the Screen Mirroring which was an abysmal failure. The quality of the output was exceptional, so much easier. That being said it looks to me like the U9 almost supports Apple Air streaming, this would have solved so many issues, I could see the device as a Apple Air device, but once connected the screen showed some sort of screen holder (like what you see when selecting music to be played by the projector). I tried connecting a BT speaker, and had great difficulty getting it to work reliable, and when it failed I'd have to power cycle the projector for it to output sound again. The speaker is specked at 5W, but it's not that loud, I don't think you could use it outside with a crowd, which is why I'd deducting a star. Not related to the video, but not having the BT work correctly, it would say connected, the speakers saw the connection but there was no audio output. When using Screen Mirroring I also had to reset the projector several times. The good new is this can probably be corrected with a firmware update. My final judgement is, its VERY impressive, if you know what the limitations are, and you can place it in the proper location. In complete darkness (1 hour after sunset) it could probably be used outdoors. I have a 5000 lumens projector for outdoors, and this is about 1/2 it's brightness, and I can only use my outdoor projector 1/2h after sunset. So have proper expectations. But this is a full HD output projector, it bright, it's colors are accurate, for the price it's a great find, color me impressed.

    Shipment was fast. The projector comes with a bag and a cover which is great. There is a little tip for using it. When connect the device to the projector remember to select iOS casting. The image of the projector is ok. Because of the price I’m not going to compare it with the 2k+ projectors. I bought it just for my kids watching movies and play video games. Overall I like the projector.
