Mini Projector 3600 Lux Portable LCD Video Projector Review

The BoxLegend Mini Projector arrived in a simple black box with the contents being tightly and securely packed within foam cut-outs, after unpacking it all I got a couple of AAA batteries for the remote control and had a good read through the manual to familiarise myself with the settings and features. The manual is very detailed, all in English, has good instructive diagrams and goes through all the features and functions although it is small and has very small print.

After setting it up I went through testing it with terrestrial TV along with linking up my Xbox One and running a few games on that, I tested the USB socket with a movie by selecting USB as source and Movie which worked fine and the Micro SD card slot just loading up some photo’s in the Photo mode and testing that again working fine.

The remote control works fine although the receiver must be on the rear of the projector as the pickup of the signal is poor when you are in front of the projector, the speakers are fairly good with a decent sound, the available adjustments via the onboard menu are good and it has a wider variety of adjustments than other projectors I have seen.

The external adjustment for focus and screen orientation, levelling are somewhat clunky and fine or slight adjustment is difficult although once I managed to get the focus and squared the picture I found the quality to be very good and clear, the onboard fans are not too loud and you certainly could not hear them once anything was playing.

I have added a video but please note this is more to display the menu and running of Television and an Xbox One console than picture quality as that is difficult to represent filming film and allowing for loss of quality when uploaded.

Overall a nice projector with very good quality picture, the sound is good, it has a wide variety of ports to introduce the media you want to play with the menu system and allowable adjustments being very good, the screen focus wheel and orientation are a bit clunky and take longer to get the picture correct than a fine adjustment wheel but still do the job.

Foxcesd Mini H9 Full 1080P Multimedia Projector Review

Great quality all singing and dancing projector, I was looking for a projector that would offer me a built in multimedia experience giving the ability to surf the net, add media applications and programs such as KODI, have the ability to link up to my PC, TV box and Xbox One but also switch seamlessly between from one to another and this seemed to fit my needs plus loads more.

It arrived in a custom lift top black box opening up to the projector packed into a foam cut out with the user manual on top, in separate boxes to the side of the projector it had the remote control, HDMI lead, AV cable and the power supply (UK plug). The manual is very detailed and all in English having diagrams and images linked to descriptive and explanatory text to fully explain the features and settings and I gave it a good read cover to cover before setting up the projector.

Once I was sure I fully understood the setup and features in the manual it was time to set up the projector, the setup is very simple and straight forward with the user manual covering all the aspects and I went on to set up the WiFi connection, I linked my Bluetooth sound bar via the built in Bluetooth all very straight forward not unlike connecting a phone or tablet. The projector has an adjustment wheel on the side for fine focus adjustment and in the device settings you can adjust the keystone to square the image on the wall or screen you are using which worked really well as I have a wall mount at a set height so used this for fine adjustment, you also have the ability to set this to auto, adjust the aspect ratio, vertical and horizontal scale along with other settings.

I had a look through the app store and installed KODI a very nice multimedia player which installed quickly and worked flawlessly, I have a HDMI switcher box which allows me to quickly switch HDMI source and I linked the main HDMI cable from the projector to this with my Xbox One, PC and freeview TV box connected and was able to switch flawlessly between HDMI source, the picture quality is superb giving me a massive screen around 70”. I tested the Ushare app which works really well connecting and mirroring my tablet to the screen and I tested the 3D which works really well and auto detected the 3D test film I tried adjusting with the 3D button on the remote control all very slick and well put together.

I have added a video and will also add some pictures showing the unboxing, going through the menu, loading up some apps, showing the settings then showing my Xbox One connected with some game play footage, connected to my desktop PC, some footage from my action camera played from the micro SD card inserted directly into the slot in the back of the projector and connected to my freeview TV box showing some live TV and the menu. Please note due to the difficulty filming a projected image and had to record from an angle means the video is showing the functions and not quality which was superb.

ExquizOn S6 Pocket Cube DLP Smart Video Projector Review

A cracking projector I’m really pleased with it, I wanted something for the bedroom but didn’t want one of the big noisy projectors and also wanted something with a good quality picture but mobile so I could easily set it up in my daughters room and remove it after without much fuss or even set it up in the garden on nice summer nights should they ever arrive.

This looked ideal so I ordered it, the projector arrived in a small branded sleeved box around four times the size of the camera, inside on the top layer the projector was in the center with the remote control, instruction manual and mini tripod, on the second layer it had the power lead adapter, HDMI to mini HDIM lead and HDMI to mini HDMI adapter all very well packed into custom shaped plastic.

The projector is very small, I know it gives the dimensions but it wasn’t until I unwrapped it and had it in my hand I realised just how small it was, the first thing I did was to put it on charge and have a good read of the manual, this is a very smooth glossy manual with good clear instructions and pictures and after it was charged I set it up in the bedroom to give it a test.

I first tested it with my Android box and with the auto focus feature it really is a breeze, I just plugged it into the back of the projector using the HDMI to mini HDMI adapter and selected HDMI from the menu and it was up and running, I then set up my daughters Xbox 360 using the same process and again worked flawlessly, I did attach a portable speaker I have using the audio out port on the back which produced a good solid sound. After this I put a few things on a micro SD card to test, an episode of Game Of Thrones, some footage from my action camera, a few pictures and some music, all very simple to access either selection Movie, Music or Picture and all worked perfectly.

I set up the Airplay on my iphone 6 and it was fairly straight forwards following the instructions and worked really well, I was impressed as this is the first time I have tried Airplay the only thing to note is you enter the number shown after the PSK shown under your WifiDisplay screen, just the number not the PSK bit.

I have added a video and will also add some pictures showing unboxing and going through trying my Android box, Xbox 360, and playing music, movies and pictures. Please note it’s really difficult to get a good recording of screen projection due to the flicker but I did my best and my original video quality is good but the video quality often degrades considerable when uploaded but hopefully not too much.

• Compact Pico Pocket Size. The S6 projector has a mini size of 5.5cmx 5.5cm x 5.5cm, light weith of 0.173kg, yet its projection can be up to 100". It will be your perfect companion for your holidays, family trips or even small business meeting.

What I liked
*************
- Really small and great design
- Very simple to set up
- Auto focus meaning the most you ever have to do is a very slight adjustment on the wheel
- The manual is good clear and easy to follow
- On-board battery giving up to 2 hours of playtime
- Wireless multi-screen connection is a very neat feature
- Picture quality is the best I have seen on any projector
- Very easy to move to any location you want without a load of messing about

What I Didn’t Like
********************
- I really can’t find anything but if I come across any issues I will return and add them

Summary
**********
Overall this is a really nice projector, I don’t know how they fit it all in something so small but the quality is great as are the features for that reason I have given it a full five stars. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.

GooBang Doo ABOX T22 2000 Lumens LCD Mini Projector

This is the first projector I have owned so am very much a novice starting from a point of no knowledge. This arrived in a nice branded box all packed and protected in foam, the first thing I did was take the manual out and have a good read through before setting anything up. The manual is glossy, very clear and easy to follow giving identified illustrations linked to full descriptions of functions and features walking you through the setup and is fully in English without the annoying and confusing mixed language on a single page.

When I unpacked it the projector unit looks very nice with a remote control and also having silver control buttons on the top of the unit, I decided to give it a test by setting it up in the bedroom which has a good clean blank wall and put a few video clips, pictures and some MP3’s onto a USB stick along with moving my Android box to use as a HDMI source.

The projector is nice light and compact with a removable cover for the lens and an adjustment screw that goes in the bottom to raise and lower the angle, when switched on you adjust the angle, screen size and focus with two wheels located behind the lens, this is easy enough and does not take long at all.

I had plugged in the Android box and USB stick ready so it was a simple case of then navigating the menu and selecting the source starting with the Android box, there is nothing difficult here and you can return to the main menu at any time and select another source, I had the projected screen size at around 65” for the test and didn’t set it up to my Satellite TV box or Xbox One but have since done so and it works great.

I have added a video and will add some pictures, in my ignorance I placed the camera to record the footage on the top of the projector and have cut the sound from the video due to the hum of the fans being present, I didn’t notice the sound of the fan when using it but now realise having the camera right on top of it was a mistake and the projector is actually very quiet. Please be aware the video quality often degrades considerable when uploaded and I found recording the projection does not really show the great quality as it should in the same way recording a TV doesn’t so the video is more to show the menu system and process rather than the quality which was great. As a side note if you find the video won’t run as I often find then expand it to full size and start it then reduce the size again.

• Watch Even in Daylight:GooBang Doo ABOX LCD mini projector takes a lot more than doubling the number of lumens for an image to appear twice as ordinary LED projectors. With 2000 lumens high brightness you can enjoy movies even lights on.
• All-New LED Technology:Features with upgraded LED source technology, the Mini Projector projects a clear image without inflicting the same optical harm as TVs, laptops, and tablets.
• Bigger than Bigger:The mini home projector throw up 32-176 inches with projection distance 1.5-5m, which will provides a big-screen experience whether you're watching a movie or a football game.
• Long Lasting Lamp Lives:With an extended lamp life of an impressive 50000 hours, even if you watch a two-hour movie every day, your projector's lamp should last many years, what's more, you can get rid of getting a replacement lamp.
• Multiple Input Interfaces: HDMI/SD/AV/VGA/USB-in/USB-out/ Earphone slot; Connect PC/Laptop/ Android TV Box via HDMI or VGA port, connect Chrome Cast/Fire Stick via HDMI&USB 5V ports, connect DVD/Cable Box via AV port, Connect PS3 PS4 or X-Box ONE Wii via HDMI cable to enjoy games on so big screen!

What I liked
*************
- Nice design compact unit

- Comes with a UK standard three pin plug
- Menu is simple and easy to navigate

Summary
***********
This is the first projector I have owned or even used and I love it, very easy to set up, gives great sound and picture quality, screen goes as large as I want or could ever need and it’s so simple to pick up and move to set up any place you want and the reason I have given it five stars.
