So I have used 3 times once indoor and twice outside. The first use was with the roku stick and had no issues at all, second time was outside with the laptop connected via hdmi cables. The first time no issue everything went perfectly second time it took me a while to get sound apparently this device accepted the WiFi signal from my fridge so be sure to turn the WiFi off if your not using it. Once I finally figured out the problem i had sound but it was too low to listen to with all the cars in the neighborhood and other outside noises. The third time I watched outside we sat a bit closer to the device and it went well without any issue besides remembering to cut the WiFi off so we could hear. Then this time it was too loud so I had to turn the sound down so I wouldn’t disturb my neighbors. You will definitely need some speakers to connect if you want to enjoy this outside, maybe ones with a remote so you don’t have to keep getting up. The remote didn’t work from far away so in order to adjust the picture when it got dark I had to get up and walk close enough to the remote for it to pick up. I image I was 20 feet away and had to walk 10 feet closer to get it to pick up. The remote has a lot of picture adjustments though so I was able to watch a movie in the daytime by adjusting the picture. I had to readjust after dark though as the picture started to look bad with the decrease in lighting after dark. My neighborhood backs to the woods so besides squirrels deer rabbits and birds, it’s not too noisy just the normal outside white noise. Otherwise picture is good adjusts well sound is good when you can hear it. Also just an FYI you definitely wanna get something to tie your projection screen down if it’s windy out. I backed mine up against the shed and jammed the legs under the shed to avoid the wind blowing it away. I also adjusted the screen so the wind wouldn’t hit the screen. You definitely need a fire stick or Roku stick with this otherwise I couldn’t get it to mirror the movies from my iPhone 10 with sound and picture it was one of the other. My own videos and pictures from my phone played without issue. The laptop movie was ok but it showed the box around the picture and bottom of the screen even while in full screen mode. The best picture I’ve gotten so far has been from the roku stick. I ordered a fire stick especially for the projector just waiting for it to arrive. I’ll keep it in the bag so I’ll have no issues later. I love that it comes with all the wires you need except the audio aux cord for the sound, I’ll buy a long one that will work for my patio setup outside. Great device I’m hooked!!
