We found this projector and so far it’s been perfect for our needs. We wanted something for our entertainment room / movie theater without the need for a big screen TV and something that we can take outside or on the road when we travel in our RV. This is the perfect product for all of our needs. We can access all of our streaming subscriptions and watch all of our favorites tv shows effortlessly. The projection is clear and crisp without compromising on the visual. Very happy with the quality and the purchase.

The key here is this is a five-star projector FOR TWO HUNDRED BUCKS. If you expect something to wow you in your home theater you'll be really disappointed.As a first-time projector buyer I really had to learn the ropes as far as what this projector is and isn't.Image quality:I can play games, movies, or even plug it into my PC and easily do any work on it. It is bright as advertised, but you will want generally a room with windows closed and lights off. Even with lights on in my room I can read the projector screen but there's no way I'd watch a movie like that. The colors and contrast are really lacking. Comparing it side by side to an entry-level asus 24 inch monitor I can notice so many more shades of color on the asus than goodee. And if you try to artificially mess with any of the settings it only ends up looking worse. For example in a dark show you really can't see much but if you adjust the brightness too much up then it blows out the whites. Certain colors like reds and greens do look fairly ugly when they are of subtle hues because the screen kind of blends them together.All that said movies are definitely watchable and FOR THE PRICE a great experience.It does do native 1080P 60Hz. Some competing brands say they do but they don't. This one seemed smooth when gaming I'm almost surprised to say.Positioning the screen:You can either mount it on the ceiling or put it nearer the ground depending on whether you place the projector right side up or upside-down. But you really do need it to pretty much be centered. There is no way to horizontally adjust the position of the screen from the center of the lens. And you can only adjust it vertically by 15 degrees, and even that I wouldn't recommend because you quickly get distortion. So the takeaway is you have to place the projector straight-on from the wall that you're using. It does allow you to downscale the image a little bit, but for the most part the size of the image will be 100% a function of the distance to the wall. At 10 feet away, the screen is 90 inches measured diagonally, for a reference point.Input lag:This is a very hard spec to find. And it can be a real issue on some of these budget Chinese projectors if you want to use it for gaming. Or even for desktop computing the mouse cursor can be very laggy on bad projectors! On this one I can see it is perfectly suited for computing or gaming. It is responsive, and yeah given a choice due to image quality I'd prefer to game on a different screen.Other features:I haven't tried the sound built in with the unit. It does emit a decent amount of sound from the fan, like.. well, like a quiet room fan. So anything with reasonable volume will drown it out. But if you have it near your head it could be annoying. It generates a lot of heat too not surprisingly. It's a pretty attractive unit with easy-to-use (albeit limited) menus.Let me just summarize again by saying that it is easy to get a lemon for this price and I have seen some horror stories. But this projector overall just seems to have a solid set of features for the price to do entry level viewing of really any kind of media. And not doing anything really badly for 200 bucks to me makes it a superior product. If you want something that will be for more serious movie watching I suggest you spend at least 500 bucks for some of the entry level viewsonic or other brands.

It’s been in the back of my mind for many years to get a projector, but it was the closure and restriction of movie theater use that really got me to move. I’m glad I did – this projector really does manage to help capture some of the feel of watching movies at the theater. It manages to project a clear image on a screen larger than a large-screen television for a much lower price. The brightness of the lamp is impressive – while it won’t hold up in a well-sunlit room, it still produces quite a visible image in medium lighting (though really, darkness is better and more movie-theater like).Okay, now for the critiques. It does have a bunch of different kind of connections in the back for different kinds of inputs, but I would really have preferred a few more HDMI inputs. I guess I saw the VGA input as a waste of space; perhaps someone somewhere still uses devices requiring a VGA connection but at this point in time such owners should just expect to get an adaptor. Also, the internal speaker is adequate - it is about as good as most television internal speakers - but expect to use at least a sound bar to get better audio with better range into the bass area of the spectrum. For me, these are minor issues and for the price the device has a very high quality to cost ratio.Overall, I’m very happy to be able to watch movies, television, and other video in a manner that helps bring the movie-theater experience to home. Also, while I would normally suggest using a ceiling mount, I had a tall enough armoire that I was able to set it up high enough for it to work well for my needs. Please note, however, if you do something like this you won’t want it set up flat, so you will need spacers on which to place the legs so it can be angled downward – see the picture I’m including as an example.

Bought this to do movies outside on a screen and to use in the house on occasion when wanting a big screen.The picture quality was great! Nice and bright, good color. Even looked good in a room that was lit, but if using outside it needs to at least be dusk. Direct sunlight means you can't see the picture.Sound was good. It was plenty loud enough, but I would recommend using speakers if you are looking for really high quality sound. In my opinion, the sound was good enough and I have never opted to use speakers.The menu is clear and the buttons on the projector as well as the remote are simple to use.The only concern I've had is that it seems to get somewhat warm after a couple hours of use. The fan works well to cool it and isn't very loud. Not sure that the warmth is actually concerning, but I just like to be sure and turn it off if I'm not actively using it.It works good real well with my firestick and is easy to get started.The only down side is that to use the remote you have to point it at the front of the projector. I didn't think this would be an issue, but sometimes in order to have the screen the size I need it to be I have to sit behind the projector. So I have to get up when ever I need to use the remote or get up to use the buttons on the projector.Over all great buy! Super fun and easy way to make movie night a little more special!
