Need higher lumens if have a lot of natural light in the room. The lumens and brightness is mediocre
We used this for Halloween. We set it up where a flash drive has window projector halloween videos. I had to at least turn it on and push the buttons to start it up but then I would have it auto shut off at midnight. I will say it took a good amount of time to figure out how to work it. Picture quality was good once in focus. It was easy to adjust the picture.
Great Projector!! For the cost I expected less but it turns out to be amazing, good focus and coloring! Despite being a small size, it can project big images and still focus at a good level . It is easy to connect, it comes with HDMI Cable. I would reccomend
Me and the family really enjoyed this little projector for the house and camping. My only real complaint is that the volume is not that loud but you can bluetooth speakers from what I have read
While I like this product, it was very frustrating because it has to be a certain sizing. I'm using it for projecting images onto wall and styrofoam. While it is easy to use after you figure out the size setting, once that happens, it's smooth sailing!!
I just love this little thing! It's great for movies, sports events, karaoke, and my personal favorite, concert videos! Goes easily with my Bluetooth speaker for portability and better sound. This one is a gift for a pal that also loves a dance party. I show it on a blank wall, I don't use the screen. A wonderful addition to any party, since I don't have a big TV, and very affordable.
Okay so we bought this thinking it wouldn’t well work a lot because by the time it came we looked at the reviews and well they didn’t really say they enjoyed the product so it came it’s lightweight one good thing then we figured out how to connect it with Bluetooth very easy! I like the design I like how you can make it blurry or clearer the sound accuracy is good but one tip : when you buy this for example my daughter connected this to her iPad so the projector projected it smaller than the computer screen so yes or maybe that’s just for us but really good product!!!
Really impressed with this mini project projector for the price. The picture quality is clear in a dark room, and it’s easy to set up and use. It’s compact and portable, which makes it perfect for movie nights or small spaces. The bluetooth connectivity works perfectly with your smart device. Overall, a solid budget-friendly option.
I am very pleased—and quite surprised—with this TMY projector. It is highly versatile; I don't have to deal with a tangle of cables, and it is exactly the width of my hand. I use it in my bedroom, but I highly recommend it to students who need a lightweight tool to support their schoolwork; in my case, I can carry it to my study center quite discreetly. The image is very clear—I can even customize the color tones—and the sound quality is quite adequate. There is a bit of fan noise, but once you are focused on what you are watching, you barely notice it. It features ports for USB, TF cards, HDMI, and an Aux output for audio. It even arrived with a projection screen—fantastic! It definitely passes the test.
I’ve been wanting a projector for a bit for cozy gaming and watching movies.It was very easy to set up. I have it connected to my PlayStation for video and was able to connect it to my Alexa device for audio (temporary solution).There is a bit of a delay for sound, but I think it’s because I’m relying on Bluetooth for it. I also find the fan to be a bit loud, but it doesn’t really bother me as my sound is coming from a device directly next to me.I think the video quality is great though, and I love watching movies with it.Overall, I’m happy with my purchase and see myself enjoying this for quite awhile.
The old 8 MM movie projectors with 25 to 50 watt halogen lamps gave a tolerable image on a silver screen about five feet wide. We got used to it, as 16 MM film was expensive for home use.For a toy home VIDEO projector this one is OK and significantly better than an 8 MM film projector in a number of ways, but there is a problem with the brightness of the output as described.This explanation may get a little geeky, but in the end you will see why the ratings given to projectors are useless. The consumer is led to believe that the brightness of a projector output is rated by a standard measure of "lumens." There is some deception in that. A real "lumen," as described in my ancient high school physics book is "The amount of visible light flux which falling normally on one square foot of area will produce an illuminance of one foot-candle." Translated, light a common candle made of whale fat, hold a sheet of paper that is one foot in height and one foot in width exactly one foot away from that candle, and the light falling on the paper is (Ta-Da!) a foot-candle and a lumen. Two candles - twice as much light. Simple.Look at the box a light bulb comes in. Somewhere on it will be a lumen rating. As an easy example, an old 60 watt screw-in incandescent light bulb puts out about 600 lumens. So since this projector claims to have 7500 lumens it should be super-bright, right? It is in fact no where near capable of outputting that many lumens.I mentioned that I had purchased three video projectors. My main one is a solid BenQ projector with a halogen lamp similar to one you might see used in an art gallery to illuminate a painting. That projector has a rated output of 3,000 lumens. It projects onto my 14' diagonal screen with a brightness that is easily equal to what I was used to in movie theatres. I have been more than satisfied with its performance.My second projector purchase was a little Crenova I bought to play around with. It is an LED projector (meaning the light bulb in it is a long lasting and forgiving LED) and has a rating of 1200 lumens. I would put that rating as inflated, but would not be surprised if it in fact put out 800 real ANSI lumens. I knew it wasn't going to be great shakes.Now we come to the projector in this review. It is rated at 7500 lumens. To compare the three projectors, I just now projected the same movie from the same source onto my 14' diagonal screen, using each of the three projectors. The BenQ, at 3,000 lumens filled the entire screen with gorgeous brilliant images, even with ambient light.The little Crenova, at 1200 lumens made a barely acceptable image on about half the screen (8' diagonal)This TMY projector, brand new, put out an image that was about twice as bright as the Crenova, but less than a third the brightness of the BenQ with a six year old halogen lamp in it.So what is going on? The definition of "lumen" is the problem. The BenQ, I suspect, used the original definition of lumen in an honest measurement environment. The little LED projectors use a different lumen called an "ANSI lumen." The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) decreed a different lumen measurement to be used in evaluating projectors. Unfortunately, rather than calling the new measurement "SquintHard" or something other than lumen, they co-opted the name, and stuck an "ANSI" in front of it. Carton designers have no reason to know a lumen is different than an ANSI lumen, and "lumen" gets stuck on the box and in advertising today.So what is an ANSI lumen? - apparently whatever you want. Supposedly it is the noticeable difference between a 100% white, a 95% white, and a 90% white that a projector puts on a screen in nine different locations, where the differences are just noticeable, with the screen size taken into account via a formula. Try to get the actual IT7.215 ANSI spec sheet and you run into a paywall. Gee, how consumer friendly...I can't say that a 7500 (ANSI) lumen rating is a lie, but I can say that some people in product testing are troglodytes, eat lots of carrots and can see in the dark, while most of us slog along as average folks with developing cataracts and other issues.Bottom line - do NOT believe the ANSI lumen ratings of any of the LED projectors as a meaningful method of comparison. My BenQ projector uses almost 300 watts in operation, with the bulk of that going to power the lamp and cooling. If you want light out, you have to put power in. If you want bright, understand that you may need to trade off and accept some bulk and heat. OTOH, if you want an inexpensive toy for kids or to use on a back porch while you swat madly at mosquitoes until giving up and going inside, the LED projectors may work for you.
I honestly didn’t expect much at this price, but this little projector surprised me in the best way.First off, the 1080P picture quality is actually really clear.We’ve used it both inside and outside, and as long as it’s a bit dark, the image looks sharp and colors are solid. It’s perfect for movie nights, kids’ cartoons, or even streaming a game.The fact that it comes with a screen is a huge bonus. Super easy to set up, and you don’t have to worry about finding a blank wall. We set it up in the backyard one night and it instantly turned into a mini outdoor theater.Bluetooth connection works great too. I connected it to a speaker in seconds and the sound was way better than expected. Also hooked up a Fire Stick with no issues, so you can basically watch anything.
Early Review (subject to change): I got exactly what I wanted. As of yet I was saddened to hear my initial goals of items to use this for were incompatible (not the projector’s fault, just external device limitations) however having tested it out I can say I’m quite pleased with this product.The size and brightness is limited but I wasn’t setting up a theater, I was more interested in uplifting casual viewing for my wife while she was bed-ridden, of which it accomplished that task fantastically.The focus isn’t perfect in each edge, however I feel this product never claimed to present the largest or most perfect picture on the market. What it did promise was value and size, which despite both being successes, is still relatively quiet. A hum is there, but it’s no worse than anything else for today.There is an outbound and inbound BT Speaker function which was surprisingly decent. This is by no means a speaker, but it’ll do in a pinch.All the necessary parts came included which was ideal, the instructions were clear and simple to understand, and once mounted, the remote lets you do all the work you could need.My issues: Firestick doesn’t mirror iPhones (not projector’s fault), Switch Lite does not output video data. I have plugged in the firestick though and the speaker and device work perfectly for it.As of now I even reached out to their customer service for additional items to help ease my setup and they have so far been helpful.
This is the third video projector I have purchased in the past few years, and having worked in movie theatres for years I am well aware of what light output is required for acceptable presentations. An indoor auditorium of average size (40' diagonal screen) usually used a 2000 watt xenon short arc as a light source when projecting 35 MM film. Drive-ins used to have carbon arcs that were far more powerful than that for the 100 foot wide screens that were often used. Fast forward to home projectors.The old 8 MM movie projectors with 25 to 50 watt halogen lamps gave a tolerable image on a silver screen about five feet wide. We got used to it, as 16 MM film was expensive for home use.For a toy home VIDEO projector this one is OK and significantly better than an 8 MM film projector in a number of ways, but there is a problem with the brightness of the output as described.This explanation may get a little geeky, but in the end you will see why the ratings given to projectors are useless.

I’ve been wanting to set up a movie night vibe in my house for a while, and honestly, this TMY projector exceeded every expectation. For the size and the price, the picture quality is actually insane.The Setup:Super easy. It’s pretty much plug-and-play. I hooked up my Fire Stick to the HDMI port, and within two minutes, I was watching Netflix on a massive "screen" on my bedroom wall. It also comes with all the cables you’d need, which is a nice touch since most brands make you buy those separately.Picture & Sound:The 1080P clarity is the real deal. The colors are bright and it doesn't get all grainy when you make the screen bigger. I tried it at about 100 inches and it looked like a high-end TV. The built-in speaker is surprisingly loud and clear, though if you want that "theater" rumble, you can easily plug in external speakers.Why you’ll love it:Size: It’s tiny! You can easily toss it in a backpack for travel or move it from the living room to the backyard.Compatibility: Works with literally everything—laptops, phones, gaming consoles.Quiet: The fan isn't super loud like some older projectors I've seen.Final Thoughts:If you’re on the fence about getting a projector because you think they’re too expensive or complicated, just get this one. It’s perfect for kids' rooms, gaming, or a backyard movie night. Definitely one of the best upgrades I’ve made to my home setup recently.Bottom line: Just buy it. You won’t regret it!
Actually works surprisingly well, audio is not good but picture is pretty good set up for my kids a "theater" put a usb-c adapter on and play movies off my phone
Update: the customer service/company reached out. They were great. They reached out and sent a newer version of the projector to see if that would help. So far I haven't had any issues with the new one, which is awesome. So I am changing my 3 stars to 5. This company is outstanding and they go above and beyond to help their customers.Original post:My other projector needed a new bulb and would be cheaper to buy a new one then buying a new tv. After researching several projectors, I came across this one. I thought this one would be the best option due to all the positive feedback.At first, the projector showed promise. However, now it is acting up after only having it for two months. When I go to turn it off/put on standby, most of the time it will turn off other times it will turn back on but doesn't function. I have to unplug it for a while then plug it back in to use it again. At first this happened once in a while. Now it is happening all the time.The picture is even starting to freeze. When it doesn't freeze, the quality is great. The sound is great. Price was great.Now I am wondering if I should go back to the drawing board to find a different projector that won't have issues. My other projector(a different brand) lasted 7 years before the bulb had issues. So this is disappointing.
Amazing quality and SO worth the price. This saved me a couple hundred dollars. Why purchase a big tv when I can opt for this under $50.The picture quality, setup, and size are all super amazing and easy to navigate. I connected mine with a soundbar from Amazon and now it feels like my own personal theater. Also it’s so quiet compared to what I was expecting.
Easy to use and set up. Picture quality is impressive with a bright, clear image, and it looks great on different screen sizes. The compact size makes it convenient to move around or take on trips. Great value for the price and works well for movies, shows, and family use.
Wow I took a gamble on this cheap projector and glad I did. It has a better quality picture out speakers are loud as my 300$ projector I bought a couple years ago Onn brand. If u looking for something cheap with great quality this is it. My picture is crystal clear. I remind u u have to adjust in the lens with the two knobs to get it perfect but very easily done. I rather use this one than my high dollar projector. The picture is clearer and plus it’s smaller in size but that don’t stop the picture the screen is 80in and u can easily get 150 or maybe more size pic maybe 200in. The fan is quiet and works great. Don’t skip this it seems to work great and very easily setup on fire stick
