Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I want to start off by saying I really wanted to like this projector, unfortunately, it has too many shortcomings and is being returned. This projector was going to be used primarily during camping trips. The fact that it could be charged via USB and a battery bank, made it a must have. Other projectors offer internal batteries that require an outlet and power supply to charge. With that said, here is my quick review. Design: Overall, the design is stylish and compact. Battery Life: This projector does have an internal battery that can be charge via USB. This a plus as you can get a fairly cheap battery bank/s and be able to use the projector for long periods of time. Picture: The picture is okay but can not compare with other projection technology. This projector does not have a focus or keystone controls. Specs show it has infinite focus, but the picture is still a bit out of focus at 9ft. With that said, smaller text is unreadable at the same distance (see pictures) Brightness: Being a laser projector, the visible lumens is closer to 80... this is my perceived brightness based on other projectors I've tested. Not great but should work in a dark room or outdoors with low light pollution. Function: Here is where the projector does not work for me. First, since there is no keystone or tripod mount, extra effort is needed on the placement. This alone is not a deal breaker and somewhat expected it. The main issue is when utilizing the AirPlay function on the projector with my iPhone and iPad. First, AirPlay does not have HDCP on the projector side. Meaning, you can't mirror a movie or tv show that was purchased through iTunes. This problem extends to other apps/streaming services such as DirecTV, HBO GO, and etc. Only option to watch these shows/movies, is to hardwire using a HDMI cable. Here you will need the Apple HDMI adaptor, HDMI cable, and HDMI to mini HDMI converter (or get a cable that has them built in). Unfortunately, when you do this, your audio options are limited since the projector does not have an AUX out. The Apple devices will not let you use the headphone jack when using the HDMI cable. The only option here then would be to use a Bluetooth external speaker and connect it to the iDevice. Unfortunately, this will cause sound delay issues between the image of the projector and the sound. Overall, I recommend if you are planning on using this with an iPhone or iPad get an Aaxa projector instead. This projector may work better with an Android device base on other reviews. Just keep in mind of the other drawbacks before making your decision. UPDATE: KDCUSA (seller) has responded to my review with additional information pertaining to my review. I encourage you to review as they advise of some clarifications (keystone and tripod). Additionally, I responded to their reply... take a look. UPDATE: adding more pictures as for some reason my other ones are no longer showing (removed one from my iPad showing the HDCP error). New photos are not zoomed in. I was standing close to the screen (in a light controlled room). Update: After receiving a couple disrespectful responses from KDCUSA (seller), I decided to take more pictures to back up my observations. I added picture of UO Laser Projector running along side an older Brookstone 100 Lumen projector. Both are connected to iPads using HDMI cables (with corresponding adapters). Picture is of the Marvel movie intro. UO is on the left, Brookstone on the right. Both are rated 100 lumens but the Brookstone is considerably brighter. UO does state that lasers lumen is perceived differently by the human eye. Well my eye captures the same brightness as the photo (UO is less bright). From a picture quality perspective, I'll do some video comparisons next week but again, based on what I observed, UO falls short against this competitor. I will say, it is likely I may have a defective, unfortunately the seller spent his day trying to disprove my opinions (key word!) rather than work with me constructively. I understand the pride a company/manufacture should have in their products, but customer service etiquette should not suffer. There are more tactful ways of presenting product benefits/features while actually listening to a customer and their experience.
