Pros:
Comes with a tripod! This is a huge bonus. The tripod locks in place and is easily adjustable.
Rear facing speakers have improved sound over previous models. Decent sound for the size.
WiFi connection and screen mirroring is great. I've only tried Android, but it works flawlessly.
Easy source selection now from a home screen.
Remote control is small and simple to use.
Picture quality is decent at this price point. Plenty bright in a dark room.
Cons:
These mini projectors are indeed mini. So are the cooling fans. Which must spin quickly and create some noise. I found it minimal and not too distracting with audio at a reasonable volume. I feel like the cooling fan is more quiet than previous models.
There is Keystone adjustment. But too much Keystone makes it difficult to focus all areas of the screen. The fix? Be sure the projector is throwing an image as level as possible to limit the need for Keystone adjustment.
I found the picture to wash out quite a bit in a room full of daylight. But, let's be honest, nearly all projectors do this in a well lit room. I am projecting onto a wall and normal painted surface not intended for image projection. This may be completely different on an actual projection screen with gain.
Tested with Nvidia Shield Pro @ 1080p via HDMI.
Get this unit on sale or even with an available coupon and it is really hard to beat. It's very portable and easy to setup when moved. I definitely notice hardware improvements from previous model years. If I encounter any quality issues, I will update my review. As of now, I have no issue recommending this unit for casual projecting.
