[@bobbykoulouris]

I love this projector. Unfortunately when I bought this, it did not include the mounting plate but did supply an empty box for it. This projector is almost perfect except for the brightness of the total black area if the keystone is adjusted. If the black was blacker then it would literally be perfect.

[@bobbykoulouris]

@Sigedno Kastaneer not about the screen, being portable, if keystone is adjusted at all the non image areas remain bright enough to be a distraction. On the other hand the image area is awesome.

[@Trixtayt]

yeah mine came with an empty box also and i took it back..they opened up another one and the same thing so idk i just left a bit sad but oh well i guess

[@COTTESITO]

I have Epson. EF 11 , I buy it because the pandemia beguns. But It feels like this Epson EF 12 is the same but with the only diference than Yamaha speaker is on top of the proyector. Så maybe I can wait some years, to buy another proyector.

[@HVos-qz9pv]

Just bought it on Amazon, but when put in an angle to project onto the ceiling, it freezes. Then it even takes several minutes to turn it off. Next, when put on again flat on a table, it first projects lines, totally broken image... Should I return it? After a while, it functions again, but only flat on a table... Thank you for your helpful review!!

[@joriioshadrin2618]

Thanks.. Is there enough brightness in total darkness for a 3.0x1.5 screen?

[@RobertWilliams196352]

So in your opinion of this device, it's better being a "long-throw" projector rather than a "short-throw"?? With the speakers being on the projector I would think if its ahead of you then you won't have the sound coming right next to you so much. Maybe would sound better in front of you ?!🤔

[@jamieniche]

Does it have digital zoom to reduce picture size?

[@benny9588]

yes

[@karinhaze2006]

thanks for your review. I want to be able to plug in my external hard drive into the projector without internet connection is that possible?

[@WhatGear]

I believe it can read from an external HDD

[@kurth.3699]

It won't stream Netflix?? What if I plug my Chromecast in the back?

[@benny9588]

Just like a TV

[@cheezeandcrackers]

Is there a similar projector that let's you set the picture size no matter how far away? I realize it would need a minimum distance. I need to put it about 15 ft from the wall.

[@CdotForbes13]

does it allow you to connect wireless speakers or a subwoofer?

[@WhatGear]

You could connect over BT. I’m assuming you could use a time delay to compensate for an audio lag

[@evilcairo2644]

What carrying case for this projector would you recommend?

[@JW-ts1eb]

How was gaming on it? I’ve heard there’s quite a lag in between a button press and movement on screen

Buy a xgimi Halo. Far better than this thing. Halo for 1080p, halo pro for 4k.

Does it have an upgradeable dongle like the EF100?

how is this compared to xgimi h2?

[@WhatGear]

Yes...but you would need a good power source.

[@johnongpoy8387]

@@WhatGear we are camping out but we do have electricity up there. Can you recommend a great projector screen maybe 120" at least that is foldable that can fit in a backpack? Thanks for your reply.

[@WhatGear]

@@johnongpoy8387 ah ok that's a tricky one. No matter the solution that you decide to go with you will need a solid power source... I did come across a Pico projector a while back called the touch jet pond. That's the only thing that springs to mind. All though if you can find a portable power band that can handle the Epson...do that

[@harbingerofd00mticktock]

New to the projector game, want a projector for my new game room. But was thinking of buying one that could be mounted to ceiling so it’s not in the way. Is this possible? Or maybe there’s another projector that would be better for that? Would use for non-competitive gaming and home cinema

[@Shikshame]

there's many to choose from

[@GokuInstinct1]

It's only 1000 lumens though. Kinda disappointing. Wish it was at least 2700 lumens.

[@tonyrking]

Here's the thing.. with ANY projector you want to enjoy them in a low light room, because even in a bright room with a powerful projector you'll get washed out blacks no matter how bright the lamp. So with that in mind a 2700 lumen projector would be way too bright.

[@jonathanmilland2867]

What are the ansi lumens?

[@charliedelahaye6773]

Love it!

[@LindseyGrandecom]

Great video! How is the corner adjustment? I need a projector that can adjust to a smaller picture because my screen is too small for the distance.

[@Qster83]

It has screen zooming and keystone adjustment

[@dailydistruction]

Mine adjust perfectly to my 100’ screen, just have to adjust the projector distance well so corners can adjust to exact corners. Picture and colors are amazing.

[@thliaw]

Nice review, do you prefer Epson EF-12 over a 4K projector?

[@PoliticalMatter]

3 LCD that is used in EF12 cannot be 4k. 4k projectors are DLP and are other brands like Optima, BenQ.

[@dailydistruction]

I’m unable to see any pixels on my 100’ screen. Was able to see pixels easily with my old low budget projector. Watching Avatar on this projector was pretty amazing.

[@kennywasfound5004]

Does it have Bluetooth out

[@0bLak213]

would you happen to know if this is compatible to samsung dex?

[@WhatGear]

I think the phone outputs to HDMI so yes. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work

[@0bLak213]

@@WhatGear thank you. The reason I asked is I bought an Acer C250i but it fails to detect my Samsung DEX.

[@0bLak213]

Is this considered as a tri-chroma projector? I am currently torn if I should get this Epson EF-12 or the XGIMI Horizon Pro. If you were in my place, what could you have chosen? And Thanks, awesome review. Keep it up.

It's pretty good for its size. I didn't really use it at day time. When I did I had to draw the curtains...but I guess that applies to all projectors. Short answer is...it's no bad

[@WhatGear]

Yep

[@michaeldbhawker3556]

I think this is the future of screen tech. However having the box in the middle of the room is a no go for daily use. I will pass until they figure out the technology more. In a couple years it will be projecting 150 inch at 4k mounted under the screen. And With better interface.

[@timothylecroix6714]

I just bought it.. it has multiple adjustments. Vertical and Horizontal Keystone AND an 8 point manual adjustment. Mine is at the side of the room. I would recommend the Vava Chroma if you're looking for an ultra short throw projector that is 4k, 3 lasers and sits about 15" from the wall.

[@g..s..s..]

I think you can mount it to the ceiling chief. Just make sure you hit a stud.

[@the-next-gear3626]

150" protection size while close to the wall technology already exists. There are plenty of ultra short throw projectors capable of 150" that can be a mere 2 feet from the wall. They are the next tier in cost but are plentiful. The Epson LS300 ultra short throw is capable at $2,000 US dollars. They go up in cost from there.

[@sam_stones]

Would be good to see how it handles a lighter room

[@Qster83]

Very well actually 👍

[@princetongirl858]

Will an external hard drive work if you plug it in the projector? Like will the video play?

[@infiniti37G]

It should if it has a USB drive mine does

[@fordharrison2649]

can it mount on a tripod ?

[@PoliticalMatter]

Yes

[@Eddy11391]

This projector gets the job done pretty well. kzbin.infoUgkxS9P8zTOcmQg-hH0QeUi3dspOLyYgQ6dH Bear in mind it's a mini projector but all things considered the picture quality is pretty good. The attached photo is of the projector projecting onto my white closet doors. I still have not messed with the settings but I can't wait for our first family movie night on a larger scale. If you have issues with volume not working with your firestick, go into volume settings and you will find your solution there.

There is a fan in it, but it's actually quite quiet
