I am looking for one to do movie nights in the park and for a classroom environment.

[@jazbronoh5873]

It'a got video signals ouput ranging 15 to 100Hz horrizontal angle and vertical to a tad bit larger. Which is even with that of the M1 mini. I don't know if other miniatured DLPs which are chinese made has these feature. Not to confused FPS which account to physical monitors, TVs, smartphones.

[@Trusteft]

I can see usage for it for me by playing Atari ST emulated games on it. Well, if I had the room or the money that is. The money is insane for the resolution. Not that I know what these things normally go for, but I wouldn't pay that much money for it even if I had it. 480p lol.

[@ctraz777]

its different when its blown up from a projector

[@michaelt8682]

take it from a projector geek, its more contrast ratio and lumens on projectors, youd be very surprised at how good these projectors look.

[@tomh5501]

@@michaelt8682 My issue is it's only 250 lumens? I'm not sure if because it's DLP it doesn't need to be as bright? Am I missing something?

[@michaelt8682]

@@tomh5501 youre right 250 lumens is very low as far as projectors go, but for a battery powered projector you can put in your pocket, this is acctually very good. most sit around 80-150. when you put this with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, its a very impressive amount of light. most affordable mains powered ones are around 3000:1 (this is colour definition) it was this that made me buy one. its the best portable projector ive seen in this price range. its pretty much a bargain.

[@tomh5501]

@@michaelt8682 I'm very tempted tbh. Can I ask about the grey outlining I've been hearing about? Apparently a small grey box that surrounds the actual image itself

[@mochithedog5237]

I use mine for gaming,

[@mariodian]

I'm sold on the USB-C port since I can connect it to my MacBook Pro 2016. Kind of sucks I can't connect my bluetooth speakers to it though.

[@rahankhan2579]

The projector has caused a problem for the first time. It froze on the splash screen and just stayed. Nothing else opened it remained on the screen with the parrots. I'm trying to turn it off, it doesn't shut down, the keys on the control or the machine do not affect. It continues to work. I turned off the screen saver is still working. The charging lights are on and there is a fan noise, I can understand it from here because now there is no image, it does not project any image. How can I reset this? Do you have any information?

[@plasmancer6104]

Pull the projector out and put it into an sff pc case could be cool

[@MargueriteMontes]

Hi, what would you recommend to project images and videos as part of a live music performance, around the same price? I am also into portability.

[@bijolumogdang1586]

Hi. Should i charge it when the device is off, or should i charge it when it is open showing the home screen?

[@rsukla2344]

Can it be powered up by USB-C? If yes, what is the power requirement?

[@janbarrycerteza]

Does it have bluetooth? Is it good for movies? How far to get 100 inch picture?

[@rw8185]

It is easily used with Chromecast

[@offgridingrid]

Could you tell me if I can power this projector BY USB-C ? GREETINGS FROM PORTUGAL

[@Bebopopotamus]

How would you rate this for outdoor use around sundown? But more importantly, since you talked about the sensor up front that turns the projector off, would that make it impossible for me to use to project things onto a live band if I wanted to use it for that? Or would I be able to override that feature? Thank you.

[@TechteamGB]

It's not really that bright, so would be fairly hard to get what I believe you are after.

[@Bebopopotamus]

TechteamGB thank you so much for the quick reply. Great review.

[@franciskim]

Bebopopotamus for outdoor usage? Forget about it

[@Landelutt]

It´s an achievement technologically speaking. But still has far to go for being a first hand choice. If I got one for free I would use it with an old crappy cromecast in the bathroom for watching videos while showering or taking a dump ^^

[@sinanbagdadioglu4893]

I Can't see any screen picture showing quality , make cinema demo.

[@orcanimal]

Is the projector noisy?

[@miditemplate4011]

26Db normal 25Db eco

[@khadimhussain1941]

Jmgo m6 or viewsonic m1 for movie and gaming ...plz answer

[@143ambition]

Hi mate Can you please elaborate whats the use of usb c port in the projector as I tried to connect my laptop to the m1 using usb c cable came in the box, but it didn’t display anything moreover gave no connection error on screen

[@betolov]

bluetooth?????

[@juliajo915]

Do u seriously don’t know what Bluetooth is

[@SjaakSchulteis]

Today I saw a working device in a shop... in one word: horrible. It looks terrible pixellated and nobody in his right mind should buy it. It looks good and everthing is nice, but the main thing why you buy a projector in the first place comes out bad.

[@ajpatch1596]

I have it, the quality is actually pretty amazing, you can focus it and the sound is way better than you would expect

[@miditemplate4011]

csgo 5:17 looked great. I think it's great then up to gamecube/wii emulation.

[@SjaakSchulteis]

@@miditemplate4011 I never bought this projector based on what I saw with my own eyes. Now it is already over 4 years old. I bought a few months ago a projector on Aliexpress and I'm very pleased with it. Considering the price and the picture it shows. This Zaolightec X5 Real 1080P Projector Full Hd Android 9.0 4K is my choice.

We do not visit your channel to see you flapping your arms around!

[@johnturner9924]

Do you visit to make snarky comments that are less useful than tits on a bull?

[@igotthatcrypto7169]

Shut up you old fool!

[@sharpvidtube]

"We do not visit your channel to see you flapping your arms around!". How many of you are there? I didn't notice his arms at all. Some people gesticulate, I don't like gesticulophobics, the world would be very dull if we were all the same.

[@GoatZilla]

Cool, a mobile potato. In 2018.
