For the price, this is a stellar little machine. I'm really impressed by how bright it is, and how clear the picture is even on a bare wall (no screen). It's easy to navigate right out of the box. Plugged it in, turned it on, away we go. Native Netflix is a great feature; I wish there were more apps directly on the OS. Maybe future updates will improve the number of apps. The projector is super light and easy to move around. I didn't feel it getting too hot while I used it (longest time so far 2.5 hours in one session). The fan is super quiet. The remote is responsive. Still messing with the settings to get it exactly right. The built-in speaker is clear and loud, and sounds better than bluetooth connected speakers. Overall, this is a great value projector and I'm really glad I bought it. Some caveats- I'm not using it to replace a tv or be my only screen, it's not a "home theater," and I'm not using it outside. It's the thing I'm using for parties, sports events, and casual movie nights with friends. I think it's perfect for that, but I don't think I would want this to be my only machine (gaming, zoom calls, binging shows, etc etc).

If your budget is around $300, I recommend this DLP projector over an LCD one. The colors and contrast are significantly better than the ~$270 LCD projector I tested before this. In a bedroom set up like a theater with blackout curtains, acoustic panels, a projection screen, and a dedicated soundbar with subwoofer, the experience is much nicer.There are trade-offs though. The user interface is simpler compared to the $270 LCD projector I tried, which came with built-in Google TV and allowed almost every major streaming service to be downloaded directly onto the device. The XGIMI OS on this model is more basic. For example, Peacock cannot be downloaded from the XGIMI store, so we use the built-in browser instead. It works fine, but it's a small inconvenience. On the flip side, this simpler OS makes navigation much faster, and I've noticed zero stuttering or buffering compared to Google TV.Most of the time I play movies from my MacBook along with an app called BetterDisplay. This app lets me increase brightness without washing out colors, enable HDR and switch to 12-bit color depth instead of the standard 10-bit, and turn on HiDPI mode for higher pixel density. The result is a noticeably clearer and sharper image. That is how I was able to get the projector to look like the image below on a 120-inch screen.For $300 this projector offers excellent clarity, strong brightness ( with BetterDisplay), and color performance that easily beats budget LCD models. The trade-offs in software are worth it for the picture quality.

The media could not be loaded. We loved this portable projector. The 1080p image quality is excellent, with sharp colors and enough brightness to use it in different environments. The compact and lightweight design makes it easy to take anywhere, and the built-in adjustable stand is very convenient for positioning the projector perfectly without any hassle. Also, the Netflix license is a great plus, allowing you to enjoy content directly without issues. Overall, a product that exceeded our expectations and that we highly recommend for anyone looking for a high-quality portable projector.

I am moving up from a budget projector that cost about $200. I wanted a projector with HDMI arc, a low latency rate for gaming, good focus across the entire image, and a long lamp life, spending not more than $1000. This was the only one I identified that met all those criteria. In picture quality, focus, usability in a lighted room, HDMI arc for my sound system, lag time in game play (especially in boosted mode), this projector delivered everything it promised and is a major improvement over what we had before.The one complaint I have is that auto keystoning did not work as advertised. I could not get it to give me a level, rectangular image no matter how many times I tried. That said, I was able to easily adjust the image using the manual keystoning feature. I do not have a screen, but am projecting onto a wall with screen paint. Perhaps the lack of a border is the problem, but I've seen videos promoting the auto keystoning which shows it working on a wall without a screen. I also found that I could not get the image I wanted with the projector as far back as my previous one was. I could put it in the same location, but the auto focus would not work, so I had to move it up closer to the wall on which I was projecting. Still, I have a very large image. I haven't measured it, but it is certainly more than 120".Despite those complaints, I still recommend the projector. For the price, it is well worth it.

The media could not be loaded. I was completely blown away by the sound quality of this projector. The Harman Kardon speakers exceed all expectations — phenomenal depth, rich bass, and immersive audio that fills the room effortlessly. There’s absolutely no need for a soundbar; the built-in speakers handle everything flawlessly.The image quality is just as impressive — bright, sharp, and perfect for home viewing. Colors are vibrant, and the brightness is ideal even in moderately lit rooms.For the price, this is hands down the best purchase I’ve made. The build quality, remote control, and overall design are top-tier, with a premium feel and exceptional functionality. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an outstanding home theater experience.
