As long as you understand the limitations and actual functional parameters... you\'ll see that \"You get what you pay for\" and then some. It does everything it claims, but with some obvious areas for easy improvement.As an example... this is an inexpensive solution for home use, it has built in speakers... but it/they are virtually useless... HOWEVER... connecting it to a Bluetooth speaker solves that \'issue\'.IF you are cognizant of the specs and their related optimum/minimum settings/capabilities... you WON\'T expect more out of this projector than it\'s ACTUALLY capable of.I have seen many reviews on \'this\' (it IS an UNBRANDED \"Magcubic HY300 Pro\" OR one of dozens of other named identical versions) projector where people have made assumptions on what this \"Budget Projector\" would do, and were hence ... disappointed.In my testing it checks all their boxes, and it does all of those things really well... for this price point. The Auto Keystone works better than expected (by a good amount), the wireless will in fact connect to 5g band, even though some have stated it\'s only compatible with 2.5ghz. Some have even said it won\'t connect to WiFi at all, but Any device that states it currently resides in 1969 (for example) will have issues connecting to any type of secure network... so walking through all the settings Before connecting it to Your Network is just good standard practice anyway.The picture quality is good enough to use a plain white/beige textured wall and still see all the details in very good focus, and the picture only gets better when shown on a Projector Screen. Like Picture Quality being Significantly improved by the addition of a dedicated screen, all other aspects of the Viewing Experience are also affected by every other environmental variable you could expect in a projector displayed entertainment experience. Any projector will fall short of it\'s capabilities with too much ambient light/noise/etc..Depending on the viewing angle and the amount of Auto Keystone Correction involved, the top/bottom of the image can be a bit out of focus, but I found manually \'calibrating\' the picture solves most if not all of that... and it\'s not difficult or time consuming to do.Given what this is and what it\'s not, it is a very good deal for what you\'re paying for it... so if you want \'more\'... spend more.I hope this helps.
So, of course, this isn\'t some $5,000 projector. But it isn\'t bad at all. Surprisingly bright, it runs Android so you can put anything that is on the play store on it. It comes with things like YouTube, Netflix, etc. Of course, you need your own accounts for things like NetFlix.Setting it up was OK. The remote has a \"mouse mode\" button that you may need to use. A Bluetooth mouse/keyboard would help for setup, too.The thing has a tripod mount. It supposedly does automatic keystone correction. To make that work, you need to get the unit flat and calibrate it in the settings. Then it knows how much the projector is tilted and acts accordingly. It doesn\'t always work, but you can turn auto keystone off and then adjust it manually which works very well. You can also zoom the image if you are too close to the screen (that is, zoom down).Surprisingly small and pretty quiet. You probably want Bluetooth speakers to go with it.I was surprised it didn\'t have: 1) AAA batteries (2) for the remote, 2) a lens cap (note: there is a piece of blue plastic film over the lens you need to take off).It says it does DLNA but I couldn\'t find it although it does do several screen share protocols and can mount Windows shared drives or NFS mounts. I am sure you could find a DLNA player in the playstore and install it, though.Great value for the price! Don\'t expect it to be a pro-quality 4K projector and you\'ll be very happy.
