BL98

We purchased this projector with three intent that it would be a great way to have our family over for some fun quality time while still being able to observe social distancing (for those of us not in the same household).We have not been disappointed.We use this outside every weekend, and it has performed very well without issue.I also purchased a 120" screen to hang on our fence, and this projector pairs very well with it (see photos for reference).The device seems well-built, with the usual adjustments allowing for focus and keystone alignment on the lens.Connection-wise, 2 USBs, 2 HDMIs, 1/8 audio out work great. We bought a Roku stick so we can stream virtually whatever want without having to worry about connecting a Blu-ray, etc. The Roku is powered by the USBs on the back of the unit.The speakers in the projector are predictably mediocre; they were not designed to sound robust, or to fill a room with sound. However, using a 1/8 patch cable with splitter enable us to use multiple speakers placed throughout the yard for immersive sound for all viewers. Our 300w Sony Bluetooth speaker also works well when connected via wire (this projector does not have wireless audio).Image quality is actually quite stunning, given the price point, and design. This is not a $1500 home theater projector folks, but it is portable, easy to set up, and totally works for family functions.The image quality (native 1080) projected on a 120" screen looks about as I would expect. The larger screens will always benefit from a 4k image, of course, but then again, it comes down to price point.Image adjustment includes the basics; contrast, brightness, saturation, etc. The only feature I wish it had was the ability to fine tune highlights, shadows, blacks, whites, etc. This is not a deal breaker though.If you purchase this, be sure to push the power cord in firmly, making sure it is seated all the way back in the socket on the back of the machine. We thought we had a defective unit with no power upon unboxing. We realized we had not pushed the plug in hard enough to make electrical connection.Overall, we are very happy with our purchase, and would do so again.

I have been searching for a reasonably priced projector the last few months. I wanted to try to bring my neighborhood together with having gatherings each weekend at our house on our driveway (when the weather is good). Since our church building has been closed I wanted to share CHURCH with our neighbors. So we have been streaming different Pastors’ messages from many churches. It is AWESOME to feel like you can share a worship service with others. Along with that we have been enjoying movie nights with the adults in the neighborhood and also planning on having kids night.… Fun… Fun… Fun… With this pandemic happening I wanted people to still be connected with each other… but safely:) So it is…. bring your own chair, food and beverage.I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this projector. I was afraid of what I was going to receive with the low cost, but it certainly proved to be WELL WORTH my money. The sound is good… (I also have external speakers attached to drown out the 19’ inflatable screen… blower). The Picture quality is very sharp and the colors are vibrant. There are many options for adjusting to your needs. I was also pleased with how light it is and packaged nicely with it’s own carrying case. What is really cool are the on device buttons touch screen are illuminated. You have no problems adjusting your projector in the dark. It also comes with a remote control which is very convenient.I am sure there are so many more perks that I am not even educated on but I can’t tell you how much FUN we are having with this GOODEE projector. I would DEFINITELY advise you checking one out. I can see why it’s ratings are close to a 5 STAR. Start your own “party” in your neighborhood. But be SAFE!!!!

This is a really nice projector. We've exclusively used it outdoors and only a half dozen times or so. But usually for two or three movies consecutively reach time; social distancing back yard movie nights 🍿. The picture quality is clear. Friends and neighbors have commented on the clear picture quality, too. Colors are vivid for for the application. I wish the throw was longer. I need to set it up about 14' away to fill the screen with a clear picture. The built-in speakers surprised me. Not outstanding sounds quality, but loud and clear enough. Biggest issue is getting the sound out using any of my external speaker products (especially my sound bar). I got it to work the first time and never again. Which can be frustrating with riotous kids at your back ominously chanting, ready to burn you at the stake for delaying their entertainment. I've resorted to just bluetooth connecting my fire stick to the sound bar and playing the video with the projector. That's worked well enough to convince the mob lay down their pitch forks. But I'd rather use the HDMI connection, especially when playing from a video source that doesn't have bluetooth.Over all, I'm happy with the product and the value. It's taken the sting out of not being able to go to the theater and helped avoid any incidents.
