ELEPHAS Mini Projector, Full HD 1080P and 180" Display, Portable Home Theater Projector with 50,000 Hours LED Lamp Life, Compatible with USB/HD/SD/AV/VGA Interfaces

A projector is one of those things I've always asked of myself, "But do you really need one?" If there's one thing this has made clear to me, it's that even if I didn't NEED this, I use it more than I ever expected. Movie night, date night, LAN party, heck even my friends want to borrow it.Pros:Easy to set up -I went from unboxed to viewable picture in 5 minutes. Just turn it on and use the focus/skew knob adjustment. No messy menus, no complicated setup.Lots of I/O -USB, AV, Headphone, SD Card, Monitor Cable, and HDMI ports in the side. Whether I'm doing a slideshow of vacation pics or playing Super Smash Brothers, connecting to this system is super easy. It even comes with a component cable adapter so that you can use old systems, like a GameCube or VCR.Long elevation adjustment screw -I don't have a tripod to mount this on, so the fact that I can adjust the projector itself to angle up 20 degrees is a big deal. The screw is pretty hefty, so attaching it to a permanent mount shouldn't cause concern.Bright! -I tried this all over. As long as you're not in direct sunlight, you should be able to see a crisp image. You can even project out a huge picture (15') if you're in a dark room!Remote operation -This unit comes with a remote so that you don't have to leave your seat to change input, picture settings, or fiddle with stuff.Cons:Batteries not included -The remote requires 2xAAA batteries, which were not in the box. It's a pain trying to hunt down batteries when you just want to use your new projector. The unit works without the remote, though, through use of the buttons on top.

I am so blown away by the price vs quality ratio of this projector. I was able to project an image on the wall (see picture) that is roughly 6 feet wide with no apparent distortion. We just project it onto a wall and not a screen, so it might not be as sharp as it could be, but it works great and the kids love it. Bright enough to easily see in a brightish room (after drawing the shades) and again, no complaints on that aspect.The speaker is an added bonus. When you connect via HDMI, the projector has a built in speaker. Now, this thing isn’t going to carry sound to a bunch of people in an outdoor venue, and it’s not like having a surround-sound system, but it is SO convenient when you want to play a quick movie for the kids. More than adequate for them. I spent $300 on a projector about 10 years ago - it didn’t even have hdmi. And now I have a projector that is at LEAST the same quality as the name-brand one I bought, plus the ease of hdmi and built in speakers make this a no brainer.Only thing I would improve is including some sort of carrying case besides the included cardboard box with foam inserts. But for the value, I really can’t complain about anything.

I was so hesitant after doing long research about buying a non fancy home projector. But when I started using this it was even more than I imagined and worked perfectly to my surprise! It’s a little over a month now since I got it and one day I started experiencing a huge issue while using it which in short, the projector stopped working and was displaying a blank screen no matter what I did in the middle of watching my show. I contacted an amazon rep and they gave great and fast service, however since it was over the 30 day refund/replace deadline, they could not help me to fix the issue. I had to speak to the manufacture (Elephas) instead. So I sent them an email, they quickly responded and asked for my order number to know which projector I bought. I replied the same day. It’s been a week now and I have yet to get a response back and I’ve sent an email everyday since and still nothing. I’m highly frustrated and disappointed in their customer service. Their projector has 3 year warranty and should not be having problems just little over a month. I need them to assist with giving the issue or send me a new one but they seem to not answer although they boast that their CS agents are here to quickly help with any issues. This is all very disappointing to me as I fell in love with the projector initially based on what I bought it for, and would’ve given it 5 stars if it wasn’t for this unfortunate issue. I tried using it last night and it worked perfectly but they could just be a one off thing, there should be no issues arising this soon after purchase and I want to make sure my projector is working at its best as it should. Thank you amazon for your promptly response, although I bought this through a third party seller, Elephas, as the manufacturer and based on the issue that arose, I expected better service from you.

First this projector comes in generic brown box. It is decently packed. The following are inside:1. Main projector body with LED lens & lens cover2. Power cord3. RGB cables4. HDMI cable5. Raiser screw bolt5. Remote control (batteries not included)The overall size of the projector should be labeled as midsize and not mini. I have zte spro2 and thats a killer mini-true to its size!This projector is an entry level - meaning Basic with no wifi and bluetooth. So hook ups with wired video/audio sources is 100% necessary not unless you add a bluetooth transmitter/receiver unto its audio IN.The reason i gave it 5 stars bec i know this is the basic projector when i purchased it. This is meant to gift to a teacher/friend overseas who dreamed of having a projector who cannot afford so this will help her a lot in teaching. By the way the power voltage is universal (100-240v) so its great to use anywhere in the world. There is no need of transformer which is cumbersome.The quality is decent for its price. The picture is good although it is not 1080. The fan sound is quite noisy but not overly.I hope this will bring long years of use since it is LED.
