[1000 ANSI & Audio by DBX-TV] Alvar 4K Projector with WiFi 6 and Bluetooth, 30W Speakers, Netflix Certified & DoIby Audio Outdoor Proyector, Auto Focus Native 1080P Smart Projector, Black

I did a lot of research - this is the best picture quality I’ve ever seen in a projector. It is almost TOO bright, so I have to use the lower brightness setting often. But the detail is amazing. It is so clear even on the edges. You can see pores on people’s faces (see photo) and words are crisp. It’s not over the top/fake sharpness like an HDR photo filter or something, it’s just so clear. My friend couldn’t believe it. Its throw is great too, image is huge and projector is only about 20 ft away. I watched a YT video that compared all the projectors in the 200-400 price range, and this one came in 3rd overall, however, I chose it because the colors looked very true /natural to me. The first and second options leaned green - which I notice seems to be a trend with projectors. I do NOT like muddy dark colors or green casts in projectors and did not want that. This one’s colors are fantastic. And the black point is not muddy/muted, it’s perfect to me. Sound is great too, uses Dolby. You can screen share your phone, and can plug in external devices like a firestick if you want (which I did) but it does have smart feature if you don’t have one of those. The fan is not silent but it’s much quieter than my old projector’s fan. I’m extremely happy with this! I bought a different projector originally that was more $$$ and the picture is quality was awful it was so disappointing. I think for the price range, you really can’t do better than this option!

I previously had a cheap projector and didn’t know what to expect, but this projector is significantly brighter and better. I have been SO impressed, as I can now watch when it is light in the house or before it gets dark while outside.

After extensive research, I've become well-versed in projector technology—especially when it comes to ANSI lumens, the industry standard for brightness measurement. I specifically sought models that adhered strictly to this measurement, which immediately distinguished this projector from many of its competitors. While many projectors boast about achieving high brightness ratings, I've noticed that a number of them often report inflated ANSI values.I needed a projector capable of handling ambient landscape lighting at a community pool during the evening on a 180" screen. Fortunately, this model delivers robust performance after sunset. Even when I tested it on a 75" screen in my brightly lit condo (with shades drawn for optimal contrast), it produced a sharp and vibrant image. (there are 4 photos are on the 180" screen after sunset at the community pool. One photo is indoors, on the 75" screen, during the day with no shades drawn. (photos were entered in order however they appear to have been changed by Amazon's review system)Key Strengths:Brightness and Ambient Light Handling:The projector performed impressively under low-light conditions outdoors, overcoming ambient light effectively on a 180" screen.Pre-installed Apps:Streaming services like Netflix and YouTube ran smoothly, making it a convenient option for casual media consumption.Responsive Customer Service:I reached out to the company several times with questions, and they consistently responded within a day. When a discrepancy between the Amazon advertisement and the box’s specifications was brought to their attention, they promptly corrected the error on Amazon, which reinforces trust in their customer support.3-Year Warranty:Although the warranty is only as strong as the company behind it, their established presence—with reviews dating back to 2021—adds a level of comfort knowing the product is backed by a multi-year guarantee.Areas for Improvement:Bluetooth Latency:The connection with Bluetooth speakers suffers from noticeable latency, causing a delay between the on-screen action and the sound. After trying the company’s troubleshooting suggestions and further research, it appears that low-cost Bluetooth solutions struggle with this issue. As a workaround, I plan to use a hardwired audio connection.Dust Accumulation:It has been reported that over time, dust tends to build up on the backside of the lens, potentially creating visible spots on the projection. The company provides a cleaning guide for this common issue.Potential for Dimmer Image Over Time:There's some concern that the brightness may decrease with prolonged use—only time will tell if this becomes a significant factor.Auto-Keystone Challenges:Although the auto-keystone feature is designed for convenience, I experienced difficulties with it and ended up manually adjusting the settings.Overall, after comparing this projector to approximately a dozen others in the under-$500 range and examining numerous user reviews, it’s clear that while these models typically excel on smaller screens, this one uniquely meets the demands of outdoor, larger-scale projection after sunset. For anyone needing a device that can deliver a strong performance in varied lighting conditions and appreciate attentive customer service, this projector is a viable option—provided you can work around the Bluetooth latency and other minor issues.

Bought this projector with plans to use it primarily for outdoor movie nights this year. Pictures show tests of the video quality when the projection size is about 100” and 200” under various media and lighting conditions. I have been thoroughly impressed with how well it performs. The video quality is very nice and respectably clear. The Dolby Audio speakers are also pleasantly powerful. The fan is noticeable when there is no sound but once you start watching something it pretty much fades into the background. My friends and I decided that for movie nights we would most likely still use our own sound equipment but for any outdoor watch parties for sporting events the internal Dolby speakers would be more than sufficient. The auto focus feature is very nice but I did find myself having to do only the slightest manual adjustment from time to time afterwards in a few of my test runs. But that only takes all of 2 seconds with the remote to do the finishing adjustment if it’s even necessary. The pre-loaded apps; Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Video; I was able so use with no issues. However when I tried downloading Hulu and Disney+ from their “App Store” I was unable to get the apps to open properly. Thankfully, the projector comes with 2 x hdmi ports and a usb port so I just plugged in my Roku stick to use its apps instead and this solution worked fine. I did not try the Bluetooth feature in either direction so I cannot speak to how well that performs. Also it does not come with a protection cover for the lens when not in use so be mindful of that.Overall, for the features and the quality that you get at this budget-friendly price point it is truly a great projector. I am completely satisfied with my purchase and hope it lasts a long time with no issues.

I have purchased and returned three different projectors in the last two weeks. This is the ONE!!!! Wow beyond wow. Talk about brightness during the day. Excellent interface. It is super snappy and LOUD as in volume. Fan is not bad. It does 4k really really good. Plugged in my apple tv, google tv, xbox, switch, it all works great. Auto focus adjust immediately to screen. This is a 120” screen.
