Review: Best brightness I've seen for a projector this price - I use this product in daylight and at night to blow up reference for my large scale paintings and for movies. Resolution is perfect for all images so far, but small text suffers a bit as you can see on the right photo (800x600 60Hz). I run the projector for almost 6 hrs a day while working with 30 min breaks give or take. 3 weeks in and no issues. A powered adapter for a USB C port to HDMI (worth the $20 on desertcart for your highest speed port) is what I use and doesn't allow for any lag with cinematic experiences. These are both taken during daylight from southern exposure probably the most light you could get in a room inside, over grooves in the wall and items in the way, wanted to show the worst case scenario and that it doesn't diminish my experience. 3600 Lumens does not disappoint. The projector itself is a little larger than expected, BUT this really controls the heat. I used to use a thin Epson projector and always worried about it being around anything flammable since it would heat up any metal that was within a foot of it. I can't hear the fan on this projector and audio is best through my computer speakers (I've heard lots of complaints about audio, but the audio is subpar on most projectors in my opinion, whether you pay 700 or 200; to use computer speakers instead, find your sound output dropdown in settings). Manipulation of zoom and picture aspect lacks a little, but if you physically move and try out new positions for the projector it shouldn't be a problem and it also has manual focus which comes in handy since it doesn't have auto focus or auto keystone (only horizontal keystone settings for when you adjust projection at a vertical angle). Overall very satisfied. Will update review if run into any issues. Review: A-M-A-Z-I-N-G - This projector is AMAZING!! I bought this along with an inflatable screen to have an outdoor movie night for my birthday and it worked like a charm. The picture was great to watch the game before dinner and it was perfect. The brightness was perfect, it did not glitch in and out. The remote is sturdy. Literally everything I wanted. I was a little concerned because of the price that it might not be very good compared to other more expensive projectors, but I would buy this over any epson or other projector brand. At night outside the picture is very clean and sharp. It started to rain so we went inside and used it on a green wall. The wall color did not affect the picture at all!! Later I tried the projector on a white wall and the picture was still amazing. I am using it for the camp I am running next year. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!!!!!
