Mini Projector, CLOKOWE 2024 Upgraded Portable Projector with 9000 Lux and Full HD 1080P, Movie Projector Compatible with iOS/Android Phone/Tablet/Laptop/PC/TV Stick/Box/USB Drive/Game Console

I have used dozens of digital projectors over years. Everything from cheap models like this one, all the way up to commercial models costing thousands of dollars. Is it the brightest? No. Is it the quietest? No. Does it have the best key stone adjustments? No. Is the audio great? No. But, you aren't going to find anything better at this price range. (I got mine 30% off during one of Amazon's various Prime sales.) Honestly, I'm surprised how good this thing is for the price.A few things to know:The lens is, understandably, of simple construction. It needs to be directly in front of the screen to get maximum sharpness of focus. The size of the image depends on the distance from the projector to the screen. You'll need to place the projector 12-13 feet from the screen to get it to project a 100 inch image. It can, however, provide a surprisingly sharp image at this distance. You can even get it to project an image around 110 inches without issue, if you have old tired eyes and don't mind a slightly soft image. Another thing to keep in mind is that it is not terribly bright. Bright bulbs are expensive, and this model saves some money here. That being said, at night, in a garage or a dark room, it is very pleasing to look at. The sound from the device is not great. This is no surprise as there simply isn't enough room inside this tiny box to include any sort of substantial speakers. Watching videos off a USB thumb drive is so easy on this device. Just plug and play. Would I use this as my primary video source? No, I would not. But the beauty of this device is how small, and cheap, it is. Very easy to carry around. My neighborhood is filled with young aspiring film makers, and they love to have a "movie night" where they show their creations. I'm excited for the weather to warm up so I set it up outside and try to recreate that 1980's drive-in feel from my childhood.PROS-Cheap, so, so cheapEverything works the way it is supposed toSurprisingly good picture qualityLightweight and easy to transport.Enough connections to use this device with high quality video sources and high quality audio outputsDid I mention this thing is super cheap?CONS-Keystone adjustments are a little hard to dial in precisely, and only work for vertical adjustments (projector must be centered on the screen)The sound from the box isn't greatRequires a fairly dark environment for best viewingFeels a bit cheaply made, but then again it is quite cheap.The fan can get a bit loud if you are sitting close to the projector.OVERALL-It's definitely a lower end model, but I am honestly surprised this projector works at all, given how inexpensive it is. If you temper your expectations and aren't xpecting this to compare favorably to a $3000 model, you will find this to be of exceptional value.I would gladly recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap, portable projector for occasional use. In fact, a charity I work with is already planning on getting one for their children's program, since I told them they had to stop borrowing mine.

Bought this 11 months ago & suddenly had a problem with itI emailed them & got a fast responseSince I was still under warranty, they are sending me a new one!So overall great & fast service

Good projector, sound is a little quiet but a good value.

I’m using this for a little project and it’s been amazing so far and I love that it’s easy to use. Nothing complicated. The sound is great and I’m usually picking about sound but it meets expectations. The sizing for the screen is adjustable and the picture quality can be focused to your liking. Overall great quality for the price!

My daughter has had a great time using this. She uses it to watch movies and TV shows on a white sheet on the wall and hasn't had any problem with video or volume.We had a problem with the remote recently that was completely our fault, but I couldn't find the correct one to order. I contacted the seller and they were wonderful! They are sending me a new one - even though they truly didn't need to. We're happy with the product and the seller.

TLDR: Low quality image, time-consuming and difficult to get set up, failed to play desired media, loud fan, tinny speakers, gets very hot, wouldn’t turn on after *one* use.Review:I’m usually careful in researching products but somehow missed the ball and didn’t see or heed all the bad reviews on this mini projector- This was such a disappointment of a purchase, a waste of time, planning, $140 worth of products, and kind of ruined the intended birthday “drive-in” movie night.The first stage of problems beyond buying extra accessories was with connectivity: This projector would not play any media off the connected hard drive of videos, except for one inexplicable exclusion which happened to be a Christmas film, The Nutcracker. The files were all of the same type, so this device was not in any way plug and play. Connecting to other sources such as Netflix and Disney Plus was also a no-go as reported by other reviewers.The audio quality of the inbuilt speakers on this projector was reported to be pretty bad, so I’d purchased a Bluetooth transmitter receiver (Aisidra Bluetooth Transmitter Receiver V5.0 Bluetooth Adapter for Audio, 2-in-1 Bluetooth AUX Adapter) to be able to pair to Bluetooth devices such as an Anker speaker, JBL speaker or two sets of Airpods, and failed to get those to connect either. This was another waste of over half an hour and $35. It does, or rather did play audio over its innate speakers, and yes, the sound quality the singular time it worked was dog water.The viewing surface was a 100” projector screen (AODIOU Store Projector Screen and Stand 100 Inch Portable Outdoor Projection Screen 16:9, $69.99 with a -30% coupon). To set up this projector from where it would be most convenient meant the image filled only a small portion of the screen. Even then the image was washed out and placing it farther away just made the image more watery looking and lo res.Since this projector needs to be plugged in, if you want to play this outdoors you’d need a giant extension cord or a significant portable power station, something which would allow you to draw 45 watts for an extended period. Decent power stations start at the low end around $100.I was fooled by the good reviews loaded up front, all claiming that it was “high quality”, “inexpensive but not terrible”, “lightweight, making it easy to carry in my backpack” (as if you could just pop it out and use it on the go!), and so it’s my bad that I just bought the necessary accoutrements and believed it’d be straightforward to set up and go. Only after all the hurdles and then outright failure of the device did I go back onto Amazon product page and search for “stopped working”. Don’t fall for the $69.99 with 35% off coupon (which they always have)! Please save yourself the money, frustration and disappointment, and do a quick search yourself before committing to this “deal” of a projector.
