After a lot of research bought this one! And i must say I am happy!
Pros –
1. Bright and crystal sharp. I am projecting to a wall and still gives good resolution and sharp image. Feels like watching a movie in theatre.
2. In 10 days i got a clean the fan filter message, and when i took the filter out, there indeed was some dust. So it has some good self maintenance monitoring built in. Liked that!
3. For me airdrop connectivity was essential, and this one has a dedicated airdrop connectivity. Very stable. You don’t get disconnected in between.
4. Most importantly, the fan noise is almost ignorable! There is also an option to reduce the fan noise by letting go a bit of brightness. I have kept the fan noise at 50%, yet I am able to see the image conveniently during moderately lit times and even with 50% brightness, it’s super bright at night. So no compliants!
Cons
1. Speakers — aargh!! Why why why? Why so bad? It’s like the teeny laptop speakers u had back in 2000’s (remember?). Given the considerable big size of the projector, i thought the speakers are gonna be good. But yea, my bad! I had to buy a sound bar to make the audio audible!
2. There is no smart tv in this. Its just a projector with hdmi input. It works for me coz i use my google chromecast and it works well. The remote control out of the box starts working with google chromecast. So you dont need to use two remotes. On the flip side, if u want to use chromecast remote (the cute white one) to control the projector (power on/off) it dosent work! Also noticed that after some time, there is a sluggishness in the remote operation. I have to restart the projector to get back the smooth remote operation.
3. The auto keystone just doesn’t work. Manual works though. Had to spend some time to get the image straight.
4. The lens cover is detachable. If it had a way of being attached, it wud have been easier to put it back when not in use. Now that its detachable, it goes and sits in my drawer and i never use it. It’s a tiny UX thing though!
Overall 4/5! And mostly for the brightness and picture clarity!
