I've used this to screen outdoor movies and it was plenty bright with good picture. You can get better picture quality from cheaper projectors, but the convenience factor is just too good. I went from watching a movie in on room to the other with no set up needed. I just moved my tripod from one room to the other. If it wasn't so convenient, I'd never use it. Since it is, I use it constantly.The included software does the job, though some apps require you to use your phone as a remote.If the price is egregious to you but you still want portability, I would suggest investing in a cheaper projector but also get a stand and a mount. You're probably looking at spending about the same at that point.Cons:Sound - the speakers are loud enough, but they are tinny. It does NOT have aux hook up, so you'll have to rely on Bluetooth. I found there to be some lag with the bluetooth though. There is a way around this. Instead of connecting to the projector to the bluetooth speaker, connect the DEVICE to the bluetooth speaker.Example, watching a movie through your laptop via the HDMI cable - have the laptop connect to the bluetooth speaker. You won't get lag that way.Overall:Biggest complaint is lack of Aux cable. Other than that, this has been an incredibly smooth and easy product to use. Even at $300, I'm happy with it.
