Clear view love the size. Not for all androids
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The projector has easy installation and update procedures. Small enough to take anywhere and comes conveniently with a storage backpack for easy travel. It has a versatile amount of ports including HDMI, USB and audio. No need for hardwired connection to speakers. It comes pre-installed with speakers or you can Bluetooth to your existing speakers. Interface is user friendly, comes with controls on the projector and a separate remote. You can cast your phone screen through to the projector when connected to Wi-Fi, although it is compatible with all iPhones, NOT ALL Android phones (didn't work on my Google 6 pro). Wants the screen preference has been configured. The included screen can be hung up anywhere to enjoy your product. It is just a sheet. No pre-made holes or hooks. Perfect for backyard movie night. The view can reach as far back as 166 in. and still be clear. Motor of the projector is very quiet so it's not distract from the actual sound coming out. All in all I love the projector. I love the option to expand my viewing experience

Great little Projector
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great little projector. The very first thing I noticed about this projector was the the travel case in came in. Fantastic. Not only is there a travel case but its actually a backpack. This unit makes it easy for you to travel with it. It has a remote control, nice. And it came with an HDMI cable so it can be connected to the laptop without a trip to the electronics store. Plugged it in and turned it on. Told it to use the HDMI1 port and boom my laptop screen was displaying. Image is good. Need to move the projector away from the screen until you get an optimal image, for me that was just under four feet. Watching a video but didn't have any sound. Finally figured out that I needed to press the volume button on the remote control. Was looking to adjust the feet to raise the front of the projector but the "feet" are molded to the bottom. There is a small screw that unscrews and allows the front of the projector to raise up. All in all easy to setup and use. My dog barks at the dog being displayed so the image works for her too!

A lot of fun!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Before this product I had never owned a projector and I realize I was missing out. I have had so much fun using this with family. Setting it up was so easy. All i had to do was plug it in and adjust a few settings. I will say that the most challenging part was figuring out where we were going to set it up. We do not have a screen so we had to find a blank wall to use it on. But once that was figured out, everything else was just plug and play. There are several ways you can set this up to your devices. You can even cast to it from your phone or any device with Bluetooth capabilities. Our plan is to purchase a streaming device to hook up to it and keep it there all the time. We love it. It comes with a really nice backpack to carry everything in. We have a friend that is going to let us set it up outside and project it on the side of the house while we lounge in the pool. The only thing that is a little lacking is the sound. We prefer to hook it up to our speakers because the integrated speakers are just not loud enough. Overall this is a very good product and we enjoy it quite a bit.

Good for the price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not the best projector in the world but great for the price. Bluetooth is laggy, 3.5mm headphone jack is a little touchy, manual keystone adjustment wheel seems to screw with the focus. But the digitial keystone adjustment works well, if you connect Fire TV stick or other device for streaming you can use that for bluetooth instead of connecting to the project itself, and the 3.5mm headphone jack works fine if you position the connector just right. Screen is bright, decent quality, projector fan isn't too loud imo. I wish it had a height adjustment on the front 2 legs.

Great entry level projector
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the easy to open packaging and included canvas carry bag. The carry bag will make travel easy and stores all your accessories. Perfect for the camping trip and at 120 watt power draw you should be able to run it on most inverters. PROS: Great picture, sharp, and decently bright. Sound is average to good from the unit, but using an external speaker helps big time. Menus are good but a little confusing until you figure out what is where. The unit is lightweight and compact using an easy to remove dust cap for the lens. There is an elevation leg on the front of the unit and a lens adjustment for trapezoid pictures. The unit connects easily to the WiFi and reconnects quickly on subsequent boots. Unit is LED yet some heat is produced, but nothing like a lamp projector. Remote is small but it works well from both the front and rear of the projector. Yes, it has sensors on both sides. You will need AAA batteries for the remote and a coin or screwdriver to open the remote. I had no issues for the signal to be received from the remote. However the menus are a little slow appearing after the button is pressed. IOS screen mirroring works easily. If you have a good WiFi router the picture will be good and not lag. I was pleasantly surprised this feature worked so easily and so well. Very convenient to see your videos on a big screen I did not test Android use. I tried a Roku Stick into the HDMI and it worked great. The provided USB plugs on the projector provided adequate power for the Roku stick. At first there was no sound so I changed the Roku settings to Stereo rather than Digital and the problem was solved. I think the built in sound processor in the projector is not set up for some digital formats. Lip sync through the built in speaker was good. Quiet fan cooling. CONS: Bluetooth setup is a little quirky, but works once you have done it. However sound is delayed using the Bluetooth, so lip sync is off. That is a disappointment. Some confusion finding the menu you might want, but you soon learn how to use it. Just be patient as the menus sometimes take a moment to appear. The included plastic “screen” has too many wrinkles from being folded up to be of much use. CONCLUSION: It’s a decent compact projector at a good price. There are some hiccups but nothing serious. Less lag with the Bluetooth sound would be great. However, there is an audio output jack (Headphone) so I was able to use a cable to my speaker and there was no audio delay with this connection. This is how I will use it in the future. IOS screen mirroring works great. Overall I would recommend this projector for those wanting a compact, portable, general purpose projector at a decent price

Nice
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good projector for the price. This is my first projector and I really wasn't expecting much considering the price but I was pleasantly surprised at the picture quality and brightness. Not the smallest projector but small enough for me and quite portable with a nice mini backpack to carry it and all it's accessories. Has ok speakers built in but for movies I like a potent surround system. Has bluetooth for external speakers but there is a noticeable lag behind the video. Some higher end dvd players have an adjustment for that but the one I plan to use with it doesn't so I'll probably just use the wired connection for sound. The picture quality is really quite good and at the recommended distance is also quite large (about 103" diagonal). The included screen isn't that big though. It's basically just a big piece of silvery heavy cloth with no frame or eyelets that's full of creases from being folded. If you have a wall that will accommodate it you could maybe put it up with thumbtacks and get rid of some of the creases but I don't really have a place for it so I ordered a pull down 80" screen for it. I wanted a 100" but it was just too big for my space so I got the 80" instead. (The 80" was actually more expensive than the 100".) Less than $100 for the screen. The projector has a zoom function to make the image smaller if you can't move it closer to the screen. Most people will probably just use it on the wall but a decent screen will usually look better. I don't really have a wall big enough to project it on so I got the pull down screen. Has a lot of adjustments to the picture, focus, keystone, brightness, color, sharpness, etc. Looks good even at a big picture size. Maybe not as good as a $1000 plus projector but doesn't cost nearly that much. I really like it.

Good Projector Overall
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Yaber projector came packaged in an impressive carrying case that doubles as a backpack. The entire unit is very light and while mostly made of plastic, seems fairly durable for its purpose. It comes with a remote, "screen", HDMI and AV cables, and the power cables, as well as a small cleaning kit and lens cloth. I'm embarrassed to say the only issue I had hooking it up and running the projector, was not realizing that it had a lens cap. In my defense, the instruction book has no mention of a lens cap or the need to remove it, it is a very flat mesh like cap, and there was some light shining through the it. All other lens caps I've used are solid. After I got past that small hurdle, the picture quality was great and very easy to adjust both the focus and the skew. I used the projector with my computer (laptop), which is the device I will use most with the projector. I had issues trying to hook it up with my smart phone, but I think it's an issue with my Android phone, not the projector. Whether projecting data (spreadsheet) or a movie, the resolution is extremely good. The quality actually depends more on the screen you use - the flatter the better. The projected image is excellent. The reasons I deducted one star on the projector rating include: - The "screen" that comes with it is just a folded piece of plastic. It has no grommets to hang it and when you do unfold it, there are too many creases to be useful. I would recommend somehow rolling the screen if they are going to provide one. I used a white sheet and that worked well. - No batteries for the remote - The power cord is short. Considering where you would normally use a projector, a longer cord would be nice. - There is some fan noise. None of these would prevent me from purchasing this projector - it does have projection resolution, is very portable in a nice case, has various methods of connecting devices, and does what it is supposed to do. Overall a very good projector.

Great product!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was impressed right off the bat when I realized this projector came in its own backpack case, and was even more impressed when I opened the bag and saw all the extras the projector came with. It was an awesome touch that it came with the HDMI cord and also the fabric screen, making this perfect for someone getting their first projector. The projector itself feels heavy duty and high quality, especially with the fabric front bringing an elegant touch. The impressive qualities continued as I turned it on and realized how bright and also sharp it was. I literally unplugged my 2 year old projector and plugged this one in and the quality differences were astounding. I cannot emphasize enough just how bright and crisp this projector is, especially for the price. I did have a little bit of trouble with the remote, opening the cover for the batteries was unnecessarily difficult. I also had an issue with the buttons pulling out of their sections but was able to push them back in. It's surprising this high quality projector does not have a higher quality remote to match it. Either way the remote works okay once it's being used. The menu interface was pretty straightforward, if you are familiar with other projectors, streaming devices, or cable services interfaces, this one will be very manageable. I had no trouble connecting to our home network, and also Samsung Dex worked flawlessly. The keystone function was a nice perk, I really appreciated it after coming from a projector that always needed to be manually adjusted. Only thing I would have liked to see on this projector is a threaded mount for a tripod mount option. I'm glad there is the threaded screw to angle the projector up or down on a flat surface, it would have been nice if they made it quarter 20 thread so a tripod mount could easily attach. Overall this is an excellent projector for the price and I would highly recommend it.

Would be fun to use at parties or camping etc...
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a pretty neat device. I like that it's super portable, it comes in a really nice padded carrying case. It does come with a "Screen" but really it comes with a folded piece of fabric pretty close to about what a 75" flat screen tv surface area might be. It doesn't come with any kind of frame or stand for the screen so it either needs to be taped, or tacked to the wall. I clipped mine over the curtain rod in my bedroom. The screen smelled really bad like diesel fuel or some other petroleum product and stunk up my room as soon as I took it out of the plastic wrapper. The projector has a decent light output, and the colors are awesome. Very true to life when projected on the included screen. The projector has very minimal adjustments however, and in order to size it right for the screen it physically has to be moved forward or backwards. It also doesn't have any up or down adjustments, so I had to find the correct stack of books to put under the front legs to point it at the screen correctly. It DOES have a focus ring, which worked great, and it has a keyhole correction dial to change the shape of the projection weather you have it mounted above the screen, or below the screen. And it has a built in speaker which is nothing special, but it works and sounded ok and was loud enough for what it is. Overall it's a neat little kit. Basically a portable 75" 1080P TV screen that you can pair to your phone, lap top, or other video sources that use HDMI. It might be fun to set up out doors with a larger screen, but it has to many limitations for me to recommend it. It's very limited on where or how it can be set up and still have an acceptable picture, so it looses cool points IMO because of that.

Bulb lifespan extremely poor
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I received this as a gift from my mother in March 2023 and used it about 1-3 hours a week for the past 15 months. The bulb burned out this week after it was on for about 45 minutes despite being in a clean, dark room continuously the whole time I've owned it. The bulb life is extremely poor and this is a sham product. Please avoid. The manufacturer AND Best Buy gave me the run around when I tried to get it repaired, so now I'm stuck having to purchase a new projector.
