    I have to say I am impressed so far. Bought this as a cheaper projector for my gaming setup (NES, SNES, PS1, PS2, PS3) in our entertainment loft. Pretty easy use, took me a min to find out how to flip image so I wasnt watching it backwards. Picture quality is good. I put a blu ray in my PS3 to see quality. While obviously not like my 4K but good picture for sure. I have it set where it takes up almost the entire screen that came with it. I maybe watching more like 98inches. It was better priced that 50 inch TVS as well. Now just the test of time awaits.

    Very clear picture, love that it worked with the fire stick, and the sound is okay.. but i paid for the option for a bonus screen and did not receive a screen. This was a christmas gift so it was pointless to give a projector with no screen.

    It is a good projector with a decent price. IMO, the speaker is not as bad as some comments addressed.

    Defective out-of-the-box

    The price seemed too good to be true for a 1080p native projector at around $200, and it was. It looks like the color processor was set up incorrectly from the factory. As you can see from the attached images, even the built-in screens had very wrong colors. When I connected an AppleTV, the black background was blue, and white text wasn't white. I went through the menus, did a factory reset, and also searched for some color processing settings but couldn't find any. BestBuy was out of stock for replacements at the time, so I sent back for refund. Maybe others will have better luck, but I wouldn't recommend.

    I had previous purchased the Leisure 430 for a mission trip for its portability, quality and ease of use and liked it so much I decided to purchase the larger Leisure 510PW for home use. And since the pandemic, I have been playing movies from my laptop or watching Netflix and it is a terrific projector. It can project a whopping 10ft, 9in wide x 5ft, 10in tall image for a wide screen movie and 8ft wide x 6 ft tall for a TV box show with the projector 16.5 feet from the wall. The speaker like any projector is adequate, but I got a sound bar and so now get the booming sound to match the big picture, making it very fun to watch.

    Amazing Value Full HD Home Theater Projector

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Watched a lot of review videos on budget Full HD 1080P projectors and the Vankyo brand is usually on the top. I was torn between it and the Vankyo Performance 630W. The Vankyo Leisure 510PW advantages over the Performance 630W that got me to buy the former are the following: 8000:1 contrast ratio, digital horizontal keystone adjustment of up to 64°, MS Office viewer built-in, and presence of digital zoom function from 50 to 100%. The two disadvantages over the 630W are the lower speaker wattage (3w vs 5w) and maximum projection size (200" vs 300"), which can be an advantage due to lower electricity cost. All the built-in functions worked as described without any problems (remote, choice of inputs, keystone adjustment, 5G wifi no-lag screen mirroring/casting, zoom) but I was blown away by the Full HD 1080P projection image. The details are stunning even on my beige wall - with or without the lights on. Glad I listened to a professional projector reviewer who stated that contrast ratio is more important than lumens when deciding among similar models. My only complaints are the ill-fitting lens cover and distinct fan noise.

    Good projector for the price. Solidly made. Needs to be in a dark environment. Worked fine with my MacBook Air, but I don’t think there’s a possible connection to the audio since the air only has two of the same output. The screen is OK unless you compare it to anything else, the shingles on my house did a better job of providing a more colorful sharper image and they are peach colored And not flat. I think a decent screen would cost as much as the projector. The screen that comes with it is like a thin t-shirt that stretches. Maybe white permanent press sheet would do a better job. Though you can get 100 inch diagonal image(about 8 foot 3 x 4‘ three), smaller is better if you like brighter colors in a sharper image.

    We bought it for games but it does so much more. Movies are great on it. This little machine is so much better than I expected. My husband loves playing vidoe games on the whole wall. Great investment.

    Wanted a large screen tv but opted for this at a fraction of the price. Great quality picture and easy to set up. Not too loud but once you have something playing you don’t notice the noise. Sound is fair, but what was expected from a projector. Got an Insignia sound bar for under a $100 and sounds so much better. To watch you definitely need to have the room pretty dark, again that’s to be expected for a projector for this price.

    I think for an entry level projector this exceeded my expectations. Because of the amount of lumens it performs pretty well in light as well. It's like I'm watching movies in a theater once I connect it to my bluetooth speakers. It was a random purchase I never knew I needed. I would definitely recommend to others!

    Good keystone correction, but focus overall is not sharp when off the center line...but what do you expect from a $200 projector?

    I bought this to watch movies in my bedroom. I have it connected to my laptop and a Nintendo Switch. Works great and the sharpness is exceptional. I enjoy the zoom feature because I filled the wall at 93% - otherwise the window icons on my computer would be un=clickable. Very good contrast but a dark room is best. The focus wheel seems tight on mine and the tilt adjustment seems a bit loose on mine but I have it on a wall mount and the settings stay once set. Reading text on the screen is no problem it is very sharp. Gaming is good but I don't play games where lag would be a problem.

    Great value projector for the money. Best Buy website said it came with a Bonus 100" screen but I never got it. It was supposed to be a Christmas gift to our family and since we didn't receive the screen, I visited my local BB and asked them to resolve the issue. In 15 minutes of research and discussion among the tech guys, I walked out with a different screen with no charge! The directions only came with pictures with very little written instructions, which was somewhat confusing at first. Then when we went to use the unit, the directions said I needed a USB-C to HDMI adaptor, which wasn't included. So I bought one of those at a competitor store in a different location. We ended up not needing it since we were able to sink our computer via wi-fi to the projector in order to stream video for the New Years eve football games. Overall, I'm satisfied with the purchase.

    I only had this product for a few days before returning it, but it wasn’t returned for being defective. I just couldn’t justify why I’d bought it without consulting my SO first. My misfortune was another’s open box deal. It’s a solid projector. The luminosity means it works well enough in normal light, but best in dark. Daylight would provide whelming image quality. At night I got it to cover the whole side of my apartment. For a bulb projector it’s hard to do better.
