You get what you pay for
The media could not be loaded. Not bad for the price, but I was not impressed.Pros:- Good connectivity options;- Decent picture quality;- Tripod mount point;- Cheap;Cons:- Hot: I expect an LED light source to run colder than a traditional lamp;- Loud: the fan noise is very prominent, and it starts the moment you turn on the projector;- Uneven focus: no matter how hard you try, the picture will be blurred either in the middle or around the edges;- Low luminance: I expect a much higher brightness level from an LED light source.Verdict:I would recommend this product if you are on a budget or if this is your first ever projector and you just want to give it a try before investing into something more serious.

Brilliant value, exceptional performance for under £60
This is my review of the 2016/7 projector which I purchased from amazon.co.uk. This is probably one of the best purchases I’ve made with regards to performance and value for money. I purchased this for under 60 pounds after spending numerous hours on YouTube checking out reviews for cheap video projectors. A lot of manufacturers tend to market the budget projector lumens above boy actually delivers. This is also consistent with their claims of resolution and specifications such as the sound and picture quality.I used to work for a company providing large video screens at events so make my purchase I had realistic expectations. What I can say is that as soon as I powered the projector just looking at the menu screen out of focus I knew I was in for a nice little treat. I had this projector attached to my camera's tripod using the same adapter I use for the camera. And projecting onto a white wall in my bedroom during the day with the curtains closed, that’s with a fair amount of light coming into the room. From a distance of about 3 meters, I estimate the protection size of 95 inches at a ratio of 16:9. I then spent 10 minutes going through the settings, which at first was a bit of a learning curve but when you come to AV that curve is relative to a walk in the park.I had converted Star Wars Rogue 0ne from a DVD to a 720 P MP4 on a USB stick and plugged it into the back of the projector. I then went into the media menu, selected movie and it picked up straight away. My first impressions were, bloody hell how do I turn the volume down! Ha-ha - needless to say, the inbuilt speaker kicks out some decibels and believe it or not a little bit of bass. After dealing with the volume, I was quite overwhelmed by the performance of this little beauty I was projecting onto my bedroom wall. A little more adjustment with the focus and projection angle and I ended up watching the whole film early evening.The projector was situated behind me but the audio was reflecting off the wall so it sounded like it was coming from the display itself which was a nice touch. And whilst the resolution was not 720 P even 95 inches and I sat about 7 foot away from the screen it was brilliant.Now don’t get too excited, this is not comparable to a 300 - 500-pound entry-level home cinema projector. But for 60 quid, I would’ve been happy if I’d paid 150 quid back in 2016.Okay, so this basic projector so far has outperformed and surpassed any of my expectations when it comes to the quality and brightness of the picture with decent colours, and quite a respectable built-in speaker.It also features an impressive array of inputs to connect a wide variety of input sources. I won’t cover this in too much detail as it’s in this specification which I’m sure you have already read. But you must admit that is quite impressive.The only thing negative that can really say about this product is the noise from the LED fan-later at night’s when there’s not so much background noise you either have to have the volume up or wear headphones as it becomes a complete distraction.Secondly, the remote control is a little bit flimsy and it didn’t take me long to snap in half, but that was from sitting on it whilst I had it my back pocket. It still works with a electrical tape.Now covered using this in my bedroom watching movies and have actually used it to play my Xbox which worked quite well as well. But I can also see this suited for both applications, for example, ambient lighting in a bar or club. I have actually used this for creating special-effects over the following projecting it from the inner side of the curtains to simulate ghosts which worked really well.You could definitely use this also outside, at night on a screen to watch the boxing with your mates and hook it up to a speaker system using the audio out jack. I’ve done this using my PC speakers and it was brilliant. No one believed it was only a cheap LED projector off amazon.So, be realistic, it’s good value for money, but it’s not going to replace your TV! It’s great fun, universal, mobile and great quality for the money.And don’t forget, I’m reviewing the 2016 model, the latest one has 30%! More brightness, lower fan noise, improved sound and connectivity! It’s a great purchase I highly recommend =)I hope you had found this review helpful and I'm happy to answer any of your questions, if so could I please ask that you click the Helpful button it really helps; any contructive feedback is welcomed too.

Yep, we now Playstation on a 100"+ screen :)
For 65 quid, I did not expect much. There's a few in this price range and choosing one was entirely based on the shape (I'm fickle like that), anyway, it works well, sure it is quite pixely, but still entirely reasonable for playing games and watching movies. I did rather hope that I'd be able to plug the phone into it via a usb and it'd all be good to go, but I didn't realise that I'd need an extra converter which sucked a bit.That being said, HDMI in for the Playstation and USB in for the Firestick and it's grand.Playing a game on it recently highlighted that the contrast and subtlety of shading in bright areas were a bit challenging, but for the price you don't expect perfection.The size of the screen does depend on how far away from the wall etc you are, and that would be nice if it had a kind of zoom in/out function instead, but apart from that, it works, the sound is surprisingly good, and we're pleased with the purchase

Very impressed with it for the price - picture is not full HD but good enough and projects a clear picture onto a 2
Bought this for my son for TV watching and gaming. Very impressed with it for the price - picture is not full HD but good enough and projects a clear picture onto a 2.2 x 1.25 meters screen from about 10 feet. You do need to have the curtains closed in the daytime as the lamp isn't bright enough for daytime use - so no good for work presentations etcFor this price you would not expect top class performance so the only gripe I have is the amount of noise from the fan - fine for action movies, gaming etc, but if you were trying to watch something a bit quieter you would find it distracting. It doesn't seem to bother my son though.This is the first projector I have had in the house and I am now tempted to buy something a bit quieter so we can all enjoy home cinema!

Very good for £60
The media could not be loaded. All the scores for this projector are based on the fact that it costs £60. I got it to project an Atmosfx Santa's workshop DVD out of a bedroom window, but was surprised when taking it out the box at how well built it was for the money. It's no HD home cinema projector costing upwards of £1000 and you must remember that, but the picture quality you do get is great for the price. You could easily watch films and sport on it in a darkened room and it's quieter than I expected. Very impressed with what I bought it to do, but will end up using it for other things.

Excellent for its price
Very good product considering the price. The projection can be very big depending how far is the projector from the screen. Focus not excellent on the corners but does not affect the overall image. The only problem is that the tilt can be adjusted only if the projector is positioned higher than the centre of the projection and not if it lower. However the image is not too distorted so it is still enjoyable. I would definitively recommend this projector as a cheap alternative to massive televisions. I'm very happy I bought it!
