Amazing lil guy!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this and a series s for my son for Christmas. Originally planned on using it in the bedroom as an occasional movie/game night toy but after about 3 weeks of nightly movies and games I moved it to the living room and hooked up the 7.1.2 surround. Ive had a few projector's back in the day and was never slightly impressed by the quality of image, however, this thing absolutely gets it. I have it set up and projecting a 180" screen and though blacks get a little washed out during the day, it's still more than watchable with the blinds closed. I will definitely be moving this back to the bedroom and going with something better but am now hooked on projector's. I've had MANY very large TV's over the years but nothing this big, you forget about it not being "tv bright" a few minutes into your first movie and never look back. Dollar for dollar you can't beat it. 180" screen for under $300...yeah it's just not beatable, I'd highly recommend this to anyone trying to get into the projector world without spending a stupid amount... I do have one complaint and a small pointer for anyone new. The first night I had it I just plugged in my JBL charge 5 as a sound bar kinda from the 3.5mm audio out on the back of this projector. After the first night of watching I knew it was going to be a huge hit so I ran down and got a ceiling mount, after getting it mounted I plugged the aux cord back to the audio out and it broke, ugh. Annoying and maybe telling of the long term quality of the unit it's self but for me it's not a huge concern being I'm running my source through my receiver then to the projector. Second would be they do tend to burn in images, so just be careful waiting too long, too often on those Netflix title pages and whatnot so you don't see a faint image in the background of everything else you watch. Hope this helps someone, again you can't go wrong for the price and I'll probably be buying another of this exact one even with the audio out issue.... Oh also, the Bluetooth speaker connection works great in a pinch but is noticeably delayed and the sound from the unit is most definitely not enough.

Love this projector!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great value for the money. It took me five minutes to set up the projector, and another one minute to plug my Roku stick into the projector and I was up and running. The picture is sharp, the remote control is easy to use, and centering the picture on my wall in the bedroom was a snap. You need to buy this projector. A TV that is 150 inches would cost $8000, this projecter was less than $200.

Easy to Use LCD Projector with Many Connections
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When I unpacked the Yaber Buffalo Pro LCD Projector, I was a little disappointed in the cheep plastic casing, making it feel like a toy. Adding to my disappointment was the lack of two AAA batteries for the remote. Once I located some batteries and powered up the projector, my sense of disappointment ended. The displayed interface is very intuitive and easy to use. The Keystone correction for leveling the display is one of the easiest I’ve used. After connecting to my local Wi-Fi, I used the iOS feature and screen cast from my iPad. The rear speaker is amazingly crisp and loud, though the dynamic range is better when connecting to an external Bluetooth speaker. The projected image is bright and clear with no blurring or stuttering. There’s a very slight ghost frame around the display, but not enough to be distracting. The fan noise is significant, but necessary for keeping the device from getting too hot. After a two hour movie it was warm and not overly hot. When streaming with iOS and Bluetooth there is a slight delay between the video and the sound, which is normal for using a wireless stream. There was no delay when I used HDMI to stream video from my laptop. At a distance of 8 feet from the wall, the projected image is 57” corner to corner. Features • Zippered carrying case • Bi-directional Bluetooth • Manual focusing dial • 2 HDMI ports • 2 USB ports • AV in port • Headphones port • VGA port • iOS Casting • Miracast • Wi-Fi support • Can play pictures, music, videos from connected USB • Full HD 1080p resolution For the low price, I recommend the Yaber Buffalo Pro U10 Entertainment Projector with Bidirectional Bluetooth for its portability, flexible connectivity options, and ease of use. I’m taking a star off for the toy like quality and significant fan noise.

Great Budged Projector
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve never had a projector and really wanted one for use by the pool. At such a great price point, it’s hard not to give this one a whirl. TL;DR for my frequent readers and details below. Good: Adjustments / Digital Zoom Brightness indoor & at night outdoor Throw distance Inputs (HDMI, etc) Exhaust temps Carrying case Bad: Bluetooth delay from projector to speaker Remote useable from front only Meh: No velcro on inner case kid pocket, manual, tools fall out No front height adjustment Once unboxed, powered up & connected to WiFi, I was ready to go. Just a heads up - when opening the case, the books or whatever thin materials you keep in the top lid pocket fall out as there isn’t any velcro to hold the pocket together - makes me not want to use the pocket I tried to update the firmware after attaching it to WiFi, but it gave me some message about ‘not fully booting up’ - so I figure I’ll chase that down at some point in the future but it wasn’t a huge deal. I used a Chromecast with GoogleTV dongle via HDMI and a bluetooth speaker paired to the Chromecast. This setup worked perfectly with no audio lag. I also tried out a Roku that doesn’t support bluetooth pairing, forcing me to pair to the projector. This is where I had a problem. Via the projector, I found that the bluetooth delay can range from half a second to over a second - you see the mouth moving before you hear the audio. In looking through the menus, there is no bluetooth delay setting to tune the audio so it was perpetually out of sync. When trying to adjust the zoom to fit my 120in screen when it should be 140in, I found that you can't control the projector when standing behind it. You have to be just about directly in front of the projector to control the menus and for me that was putting the remote over the pool & hoping I didn’t drop it. But even if the throw is a little too big for your screen, Digital Zoom (in the keystone menu) allows you to size it down a bit. I found it useful as my first attempt at an outdoor screen wasn’t completely square and used this feature to make the projection fit cleanly within the even parts of the screen. In using this for a number of days, I found great response time and no motion blur. I recall the early LCD days and the blur on just about anything ‘sports’ - but not the case here. Movies looked nice and sports scores were easy to read even at 100+in at 20ish feet. Exhaust temperature from the unit isn’t all that terrible. Actually, it exhausts somewhere between 95-111 degrees F, and my 16in MacBook Pro throws around 115F - so pretty good heat removal which makes me hope for some longevity of the components. In a smaller room, the fan is audible, but no more than a regular desk / floor fan is. Prior to getting my screen, I gave it some indoor / wall / door tests along with basic usability evaluation. From what I could tell, there’s a multiplier of around 7.5. So, for every foot of distance from the screen, you’ll be at that size screen. At 6.5 feet, it was roughly a 52in display (based on me measuring diagonally against a door). At 20-ish feet, I was around 140in screen but using the fantastic digital zoom function, sized it down to fit my 120in screen & a little further to fit nicely in my makeshift screen setup! For the price point and if you aren’t an audiophile or videophile, this should do you just fine. Recommended!

Surprisingly good...
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have never heard of the Yaber brand, so I was a bit skeptical. Out of the box you get the projector, a power cable, a carrying case, a remote, a HDMI cable, a A/V audio adaptor, and some inserts. The projector itself is quite small, much smaller than other conventional 1080p projectors. It's portable enough to take with you on the go. You can connect it to your wifi for screen mirroring from your smart phone. You have multiple options when it comes to connecting. You can use HDMI, USB, VGA (Who uses VGA still), and screen mirroring as mentioned earlier. The remote is handy, but a bit cumbersome. When powering it up, it has a very easy to navigate home screen. You can choose your source settings and change settings. The 1080p video is crisp, and the sound from the projector itself is pretty decent. I connected it to my tablet, used a portable bluetooth speaker as my audio source, and played a movie. The one thing that I noticed immediately is how quiet it was. I didn't hear a fan make the sound of a jet engine at any point. This is pretty impressive considering how small it is and how good the video quality is. The design engineers did a great job of dissipating the internal heat. My only gripe is that you can't adjust the feet of the projector, they're simply stationary. I would have liked it if you could at least adjust the two front feet at least an inch. I found myself using old dvd cases to prop it up slightly. That's why I only gave it 4/5 stars. Ultimately, for the price, it's a great projector, that's portable, has great picture quality, multiple inputs, and a decent speaker.

On the go projector
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My family and I love the outdoors but sometimes we like to bring the indoors out and this little projector will allow us to do just that. When we go on camping trips sometimes we bring a small tv but now we can make our own theater with this and a portable screen! The projector is small and lightweight with a nice carrying case for the projector and all accessories. The projector has Airplay and Miracst built in which makes it easy to enjoy your favorite movies or games. With two hdmi inputs you can also bring your favorite game console along for the ride. If the built in speaker isn’t enough you can also use a Bluetooth speaker for better sound. This will definitely be beneficial if you don’t wanna have to listen to the fan noise when the projector is running. The fan is not overly noisy but it might bother you if using this on a table between two chairs. Connecting to a Bluetooth speaker will solve this by allowing you to sit further away from the device. Along with hdmi it also has two USB-a ports, one VGA port and a 3.5 headphone jack. The Yaber U10 offers an easy way to bring the party to the outdoors and not break the bank. Pairing this with an inexpensive foldable projector screen allows you to have a home theater experience anywhere you are. Back yard parties, camping trips, presentations or anywhere else you want to enjoy HD content, the Yaber U10 makes it easy.

After you see the picture, nothing else matters.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yaber - Buffalo Pro U10 Native 1080P Entertainment LCD Projector with Bidirectional Bluetooth Have you been dreaming about an inexpensive, ultra-portable, high performing video projector? It’s here. Yaber has entered the projector market with a well-rounded high definition (1080P resolution) home theater projector. There’s even a carry case. I’ve provided a few photos taken directly off of my 110” screen. My comments should be considered in the context of my everyday viewing. The “other” projector that shares this same screen is a 4k SONY projector costing far more. It’s a tough and demanding comparison that the Yaber can not win. While it’s a great reference point for comparison purposes, it isn’t the point of my review. You and I both want to know how competent this much more affordable Yaber is and whether it will be satisfying for regular use with multiple sources. Having a point of reference should keep me grounded in reality. In the Box: the projector, A Remote Control, Power cord, HDMI cable, carry case (bag), 3-in-1 AV Cable, Cleaning Kit, User Manual. Weight 4.9 lbs. Mount on table-top or from ceiling. Setting allows image flipping. Keystone correction available. LED light source life is 25,000 hours. This is so much longer than a lamp. SETUP: I set the Yaber U10 on a high platform, perfectly aligned with a really big (110”) screen around 14 feet away. This allowed me to fill the screen with the image and not have to fuss with the “keystone” alignment. The only way to change image size is to alter the Yaber-to-screen distance. There is no digital zoom, well, unless you count shrinking the image. I used an AppleTV streaming signal to the Yaber. My audio output would be handled by my Yamaha Audio Video Receiver (AVR) which sits between my Apple streamer and the Yaber U10. The Yaber provides a 3.5mm audio jack input and output so you can send your audio to a soundbar. The Yaber U10 also includes bi-directional Bluetooth for audio connections. This allows the projector to be used as a wireless speaker or to stream audio to external headphones or speakers. Later in my testing I inserted a USB drive that had family photos and videos which were easy to display. All this is managed using the small, but very complete remote control which helps you access USB ports (1/2), HDMI ports (1/2), audio input (3.5mm jack, or the VGA input. The REMOTE allows you to control almost every important feature but you will have to manually FOCUS. Which is fairly easy and reliable. I wish the focus control was a bit tighter and finer to give me more confidence. After an hour of viewing I noticed a small black smudge/speck on my projected image. At my huge image magnification the speck is the size of an aspirin tablet on the lower right quadrant. The simple, fan driven cooling design of the Yaber means that dust might enter the area of the light path. It happened to my model, probably a result of residual manufacturing debris. Yaber provides a crude, but sensible solution for this in the form of a cleaning kit of sponge swabs and instructions on how to access the area of the problem speck. Firstly, and unhelpfully, the door accessing the light path is hidden under the specification label, though it can be removed fairly easily. Secondly, that door opening is small, offering little visibility of the multiple surfaces you can see. So, where is the microscopic speck? No idea. I carefully DRY swab what’s in easy reach with the foam Q-tip, and then close everything up to take a look. The speck is still there on the screen. I’ll come back and try again, but, a little help here, Yaber! They do provide a lens cover to help reduce dust on the lens surface, but dust here would appear as a cloudy graying of the image. PERFORMANCE: My review was completed while watching images projected onto my 110” (horizontal), plain white screen. My reference projector that typically uses this screen is a SONY 4K unit costing 20x more. There is no doubt which projector wins the comparison, so let’s concentrate on the differences and how they impact my enjoyment. And remember, I’m also really stretching the image out bigger than most people might want. The Yaber lets you select the image size by moving the projector further or closer to the screen. Another important issue: this is a light controlled room. In other words, it’s very dark. While the Yaber U10 has sufficient brightness to allow you to view with indirect (not on the screen) light. If a high quality viewing experience is important to you, darken the room, or wait until after sunset for viewing the big game or favorite movie. Upon startup the Yaber U10 is bright, quite colorful with sufficient contrast (nice black areas) to create a compelling image. The Yaber U10 offers a settings menu allowing you to modify brightness, contrast, color warmth, saturation or sharpness. Out of the box, Yaber aimed for a nice cinema quality image. I compared a photo of a full color test pattern taken using the Yaber and taken with my 4K Sony. All the colors were there on the Yaber and they were accurate. The Yaber image doesn’t have the subtle beauty of the more expensive projector. There is less range, intensity and depth in the colors. The image is somewhat noisier, with a rougher texture. Contrast/brightness ratio was pretty accurate. The edges of buildings or fine lines in the Yaber image are more jagged, not rock solid. Pixels were not visible from 5 feet away. Noise level was 42dB from my viewing position, 6 feet from the projector, vs room ambient noise of 34dB. You can hear the Yaber projector vs the silent, high priced projector. Yep, you can see and hear differences. But, it’s the similarities that are more interesting. After fussing over the differences, I quickly settled into the movie, or music video or game. The overall picture is more right than wrong. It is more natural than flawed. It’s a quite surprising image for an under $300 projector. I can easily justify taking this on the road for show and tell, or an evening of entertainment. Sure, I see the differences, but that’s my curse. I also can shrug them off and enjoy the huge show. Speaking of huge, there’s nothing that improves a picture more than shrinking it somewhat. A 90” or 80” picture is really big, too, but will be sharper, have better line edging, and even deeper colors. Imperfections readily disappear. The Yaba U10 loses an unfair fight, but it has a winning picture in a lessor category. Few projectors look this good near this price. SUMMARY: All those connectivity features really work. My iPhone or gaming console connected and sent an image as promised. I focused my review on image quality. If you’re trying to replicate the local IMAX in image detail, sharpness, color saturation, and reproducing reality, you’re gonna want to spend some serious money. What’s amazing about the Yaber U10 is that you’ll find yourself so impressed by the large image on a big wall or screen. You’ll ignore and forget about those nit-picky imperfections because they simply aren’t distracting. When the important elements of color, brightness and contrast are mostly right, the performance will win you over. There is so much here to like at a shockingly low price. I’m not sure that even with an aspirin sized speck on screen it’s fair to deduct a point.

Nice affordable portable projector
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like this Yaber 1080P LCD Projector, especially for the price point of this projector. This is not meant to replace your high end projector that you might be looking to replace. Instead, I plan to use this more when I go on road trips with my family. Out of the box you will notice that this Yaber projector is lightweight. It comes with some nice accessories that allows you to take it with you wherever you like. It comes with a nice carrying case and some cleaning accessories to keep the lens clean. It also comes with a nice little remote and a 3-in-1 AV cable and of course a power cord. This is all you will need to take it with you where ever you like. Once you get it connected and start it up, the first thing you will notice is the noise coming from the fan. This is the only reason why I gave this Yaber a 4 out of 5 stars. It is much noisier than I anticipated. Once you get past the noise, you won't be disappointed. To begin with, you will need to adjust the lens to get it focused. In order to make the picture bigger, all you need to do is draw the projector further away from the screen. You can't adjust the height of the picture with the projector, so you will need to make sure that you place the projector with enough height. Keeping in mind the price point, the picture that comes out of this Yaber projector is pretty good. The picture it produces has enough colors with enough dark colors to provide a nice picture. To summarize, I primarily like this projector because of its portability, picture quality and price point. I would recommend this projector if you are looking for something you can take with you.

Theater quality
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I grabbed this projector because we love watching movies on a screen bigger than our TV. This projector is literally exactly what we needed. It doesn’t overheat but it does it warm. It actually has sturdy brackets to add height to keep it cooler. This projector has a high level of precision correction. I wear glasses so being able to focus and get clear resolution is important to me. Great UI design makes it super user friendly. The Bluetooth gets rid of all the wiring and extra cords that we struggle with in the past. Being able to Bluetooth your speaker makes for a movie theater setting. Its small but powerful. Movies, office, etc. The style gives it a space theme and the color will fit any décor. I’m happily surprised at all the features and its capability. Our home is apple and android and this project can work with both. Not limiting at all. The stereo still does not match the picture or size but its better than before. That to me is the only con. But the Bluetooth makes up for it.

A Giant TV on Any Wall You Want!
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.SO MUCH FUN!!! I opened the box and was impressed from the get go, It came in an awesome carrying case which you will need as you will want to take this Yaber Buffalo Pro 10 everywhere you go!!! Friends house, a party, the grandparents, the back yard, camping..anywhere you have a place to plug it in and my SUV has a plug…so anywhere. I bought a fabric screen and ran down to Best Buy to grab a fire stick, loaded up my USB thumb drive with some home movies and grabbed an old DVD player and I was ready to run this through its paces. Set up was easy enough and I really like the Home Screen…it’s intuitive and simple to use. the four corner correct feature was super easy and made my screen flat and proportional when my projector was off centered to the wall. Really easy. The manual focus is strait forward and easy to use as well. I plugged in the DVD player HDMI and I could not get the sound to work. So I plugged it in with the included 3-in1 AV cable (yellow, red and white plug to a small jack). It worked fine The internal speaker is very small as it has to be to keep the weight down. If they put in a good speaker that was stand-a-lone good enough it would weigh a ton. This thing is light. I got a stand-alone Bluetooth speaker and after some experimenting with the sound settings was able to get great sound from my paired Bluetooth speaker and the DVD player BUT the sound was not synced. I got a little frustrated and moved on to the fire stick. To be fair…Who uses a DVD player anymore…anything I could watch on dvd is available streaming. As long as you have a hotspot on your phone….camping, outside etc. you would be good to go. Got the fire stick running and set up everything on my back porch (see pics). WONDERFUL…SO RELAXING!!! Can’t wait to watch scary movies in the fall with the fire pit going!!!!! Anyway…streamed a show and played around with my Bluetooth speaker and the audio setting both on the Yaber and in the fire stick and the audio was off again to the words…Fire stick had a syncing feature that I used and it all lined back up…AWESOME SOUND and Great picture!!! Keep in mind that if it’s super bright sunlight or a super bright room the picture is not as bright as a true TV would be but for a projector…AWESOME! The 1080i is perfect as the 4k would probably get lost on a fabric screen or wall anyway. I next went to the Home Screen and acceded the “video” tab of the Home Screen and all my home video were there. I shoot and edit some pretty extensive vacation videos and it was a ton of fun to watch all the beach videos in the outside…almost took back to Florida!!! This also works great for Gaming consoles and phone mirroring. I had to use a book to get the right angle then move a little back porch table to the distance to maximize the size. There was a black spot on the screen that turned out to be a spec of dust…I read through the manual and they provide a small screw driver and swabs to get the dust out…this is to be expected on projectors ...so I read…but this is my first one so who knows…but it was an easy fix. The pros: Awesome picture and very versatile and a huge screen where ever you want to take it!!! The cons: the audio set up with using the Bluetooth or the onboard sound with a cable is a little confusing if you are not somewhat tech savvy. Overall - A big win! I am going to watch home movies and Streaming outside and it does that wonderfully and with a good Bluetooth speaker….its like going to the movies but outside…The ultimate drive in movie feel!!!!!! Don’t forget the popcorn!!!

Lacks full screen focus
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yaber Buffalo Pro U10 has a nice robot head, kind of retro look and plenty of nice extras are included like the case, HDMI and lens cleaning supplies. The Yaber U10 projector does just enough to be a basic no frills projector best used for animated movies or streaming tv. There are no native smart apps, you will need USB, phone, PC, Fire stick, Roku or a Chromecast dongle for any viewable content. Image brightness is ok, best if used in darker rooms with minimal ambient light. The projected image you see is where the low end of this projector becomes evident. It can only focus about 50-65% of the screen and the rest of the image goes from fuzzy to full blur. Text is fine if it is in the focused area, but otherwise much of the image is too blurry to enjoy. I tried many options to improve picture quality from squaring the projector to the screen to multiple keystone angles. Sadly, it seems the lens is just too convex or concave to focus the whole image. Movie night for adults might be ok if your expectations are not too high. The built in speaker is probably the best feature and sound is pretty good. Other shortcomings I noticed almost immediately was the loud single speed fan noise, exhaust heat, and lack of adjustments for height or feet to raise or level the projector. With all ports and plug on the rear of the unit. You will not be able to do ceiling viewings which might be fun and a good use for kids. Also, since I am android user, I had no luck connecting wirelessly without using a PC. Even my recent model PC had connection issues. HDMI is your best bet unless you use Apple products, YMMV. While I did not get the best results from my few days of testing. Maybe a software update can help improve some of the image issues. The projector does have wi-fi. And there is an update menu in settings.

Great backyard projector for entertainment
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Yaber U10 reminds me of a projector I had in college that I used as a replacement TV. It was basic, but it did the job of projecting a large image on a wall. The Yaber projector brought about those same feelings as it is as basic as it comes for projectors, and yet it's not missing out on features you need to live with it. At the price point, it is perfect for that person who would buy this projector for that movie event in the backyard, for the kids' playroom, or an ad-hoc use projector. Let's not confuse this with a 4K projector from the major brands. This is a 1080P projector with a very specific niche and has a few limitations specifically for a permanent setup. However, looking beyond those limitations, this is a fantastic projector. It is basic, easy to use, colour accurate and effective. When I opened it, I had concerns about the build quality. I had heard some rattling, but thankfully that was just the cables in the provided carry case. The unit is all plastic, and it may look like metal; it is just painted high-quality plastic that is rather well put together. The unit comes with all the essentials, a power cord, HDMI cable, Analog AV Input Cable, a cleaning kit, a carry bag and a remote. I liked that the projector supports WiFi natively and can leverage that to use miracast and apple cast. While there is no built-in Netflix or streaming ability native to the projector, and you cant miracast / ios cast Netflix due to copyright issues, youtube works rather well for streaming over the wifi, and so does VLC. The onboard processing power built into the projector suggests it could run apps if they were there and certified to run them. For the record, it has a 4-core CPU, 2-core GPU, 1 GB of ram, and 8 GB of storage built into the operating system of the projector. The projector can play files from USB and connect with HDMI or AV Analog inputs. The dual HDMI and Dual USB are something rare in this category of projectors. If you need to stream content-protected video or use streaming apps, just plug in a dongle from all the major brands (Roku, Amazon Fire Stick) and power it by the USB port on the back. There is a lot this projector has to offer for the price once you look beyond the few minor downsides. The biggest is that there is no way to tilt the projector, which is not so much a con, but it requires you to centre the projector with your screen. Then there is the zoom feature, which reduces the image size for the zoom function to work. The keystone feature works rather well, though, but if you centre your screen, that keystone feature is not required. In my testing, a 6-foot distance to a projector screen gave me roughly a 65” screen on a 16x9 screen. The specs put the minimum distance at 4.5 feet and the max distance at 9 feet. The screen brightness is enough for evening hours but will wash out in direct sunlight. The box rates it at 250 ANSI lumens, which in reality is about 600 or so Lumens in brightness. Not the brightest projector, but brightness is not the entire story. Contrast ratio and colour rendition have also to be considered. That said, the colour rendition from the projector is excellent for ad-hoc use. The contrast ratio is acceptable, and the blacks look like black. I like this Yaber projector. It has a funky and quirky look, but it is functional and works great. I had an anniversary party last weekend. I took the projector with me to throw some video that we had put together. The projector performance was adequate for projecting some videos on a screen. The audio output from the built-in speaker is loud, but we were able to use the 3.5mm connector to a bigger speaker for a better impact. I did not get a chance to test out the Bluetooth audio, but the projector does have the ability to transmit audio over an external Bluetooth (and also acts as a Bluetooth speaker). Overall, everyone loved the image this projector output. I found it far more useful than other projectors that I own. So would I recommend you buy one? Yes, especially if your situation requires a reasonably priced, good-performing projector. The Yaber U10 fits the bill. * The rudimentary focus ring works very well, but it is old-school. * No Zoom feature; you will have to zoom by moving the physical projector manually. Digital zoom is more reduces the image size more than zoom. * Keystone correction is electronic, and while easy to use, if you limit your placement, there is less likely that you would use this feature to square your image. * Throw distance based on my calculations is 1.35, which means for the minimum distance of 4.5 feet, it would throw a 45” screen, and at a max distance of 9 feet, a 98” or so screen. * I know I shouldn't mention this, but after all, why was no battery provided for the remote?

My family loves watching movies, and with this, we can watch them clearly in our bedroom. It can be connected through USB, Bluetooth, and screen mirroring. Would definitely recommend buying it.

Quite a clear image at an affordable price
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this as a replacement for an even more budget friendly projector that I've had for years and eventually reached its end. We normally have it setup in the backyard on a 100inch screen but moved into thr based now as the cold weather approaches. First impressions Light, visually pleasant design with a multitude of ports in the back, and with Bluetooth I have it connected to a soundbar. While outside, I have sitting on a table and inside I used a ceiling mount and flipped the image in its setting For streaming I used a firestick and its been working wonderfully with a smooth connection for both video and sound. The usb port was used to watch out vacys pictures and that was simple as well and that's when I was impressed by the resolution The images were so clear with smooth transition. I was impressed by the colors and brightness visualized and that's applied to the steamed videos as well. I found some 4k videos online that were quite impressive to display in a dark environment. My overall experience is positive. This projector offered a higher quality image than I was expecting and when moving from a 5 year old one, that change is even more appreciated
