Amazing concept that could use a little tweaking
Our family decided to put on an outdoor movie in the backyard, so I started looking at buying a projector. I quickly realized we were going to need a lot of cords/connections to make it work. And then I ran across this handy product.Pros:- No extension cords needed, no connecting to a receiver/laptop for media content, and speakers already built in... AMAZING!! Plus, controlling it all from my own phone (or the provided remote if I want).- Has apps for streaming content, which basically makes it a portable smart TV- The speakers are great for most use, but for an outdoor movie with lots of people, we decided to connect it via bluetooth to our Sonos Move speaker. Brilliant built-in option, and again, no cords needed.- Setup was extremely easy.- Auto keystone correction feature is really handy. It senses the angle of tilt and adjusts the picture to match, so you don't end up with a weird trapezoid shape.- Has screw in feature at the bottom for a standard tripod.Cons:- Noticeably dim. This was the biggest disappointment for me. Even when it was completely dark outside and we were using a proper movie screen, I felt like the movie picture was just a little dark. There is an option in the settings to adjust to "max brightness", but it can only support 1.5 hrs of playtime, which makes it impractical for most movies.- No way to adjust tilt angle of the projection without physically moving the whole thing (or using a tripod). Not that this is usually an issue, but we tried once to project it on a slanted ceiling, and there was just no way to prop it up to the right angle to aim it at the ceiling without kind of leaning it against a pillow.- Downloading Google Play services is a pain. As others have said, you have to contact customer service and jump through some extra hoops to access this content. I wanted to watch Youtube TV app on it and it would not work until I ran the extra update they required.- Sometimes the provided remote does not work. Still can't figure out why.Overall we like it and hope to see some improvements in the next edition. If nothing else, it really impressed our friends. :)
