Extremely impressive projector for the price!
The media could not be loaded. I am pretty stoked about this projector. I have only had it briefly but it has left a huge impression on me.Let me start off by saying that I am a home-theater buff. I love it but don't have the money to be turning a room in my home into a $10,000+ dedicated home theater. I have been building my components for almost a decade and am finally fairly happy with what I have now. Up until recently I have been using a high end 75 inch 4K TV along with an 7.2.4 AVR setup and have been happy with the results. Despite this I have always felt like something was missing. The picture quality of the TV is exceptional and the sound system is amazing. Still, there was just something that I hadn't been able to put my finger on.I have a somewhat ghetto home theater setup in my basement. It shares the space with my fitness equipment. That space has a ceiling mounted projector and a 100 inch screen that I put together 5 or 6 years ago. I was always amazed at how immersive that large of a screen looked but the rest of the room left a lot to be desired.I recently added height speakers to my living room receiver setup instead of the up-firing ones I had been using previously. Because the significant other said "no more holes in the walls" I was left to come up with a creative solution for height speakers. The by-product of this was I had a setup where I could mount a full-sized projection screen in front of my tv. It is manual pull-down screen for now but I may invest in something more permanent and more expensive in the future.I currently have four projectors now that I added this Elephas unit to the mix. My first was an Artlii projector which was decent for when I bought it and has served me well in the basement over the last 6 years. The picture quality was solid but the noise level of the fan is fairly high. I also snagged an Epson projector from a local high school that was selling them off after a tech upgrade. The epson is incredibly bright but the resolution is somewhere between 720 and 1080 p and it doesn't work with my receiver for some reason.I also purchased a Mirroir Pro 810 projector a couple of months ago that I have been tinkering with. I loved some of the more modern features on it (automatic keystone, smart features, etc...) but for my specific application/setup it just wasn't giving me the wow factor visually.Enter the Elephas W1K.I watch Youtube all of the time and watched a comparative review of current Amazon projectors under $500. I highly recommend his channel (The Hook Up). He did extensive testing of everything that these projectors have to offer from picture quality (which the Elephas won even against models costing twice as much), functionality, smart features, power consumptions, etc.... So, wanting a better overall visual experience I ordered it. I knew that if it didn't live up to the hype I could always return it since it is Amazon after all.It lives up to the hype.It is super easy to setup and connect all of your favorite streaming apps. Everything is very responsive. Of course I am not really using any of the built-in smart features as I have it connected to my AVR. Still I set them up anyway just for peace of mind.I am really blown away by the picture quality. The room I have the setup in can be light-controlled to an extent as I have blackout curtains but light does leak into the room as it is an open room on two sides. Still the picture quality is very impressive even in a moderately lit room. In complete darkness the picture is almost identical to my $1500 tv. The colors are great and I do not miss the 4k resolution since the image is so large and immersive (actual screen size with this setup is around 95 inches).I have yet to run into anything negative with this projector and I highly recommend it for anyone looking for exceptional performance at a relatively low price point.Edit: Just a quick edit. I purchased an inexpensive 120 inch ALR screen to try with this projector.Oh My!I loved this projector before but with the ALR screen the visuals are beyond stunning with one caveat. You need to be perfectly centered in your seating position with the screen. If you aren’t then there is quite a notable drop off in visual performance.But, again, if you are centered, the visual experience is like nothing I have ever experienced even from the more expensive TVs. Super bright, Balanced but impressive contrast and the colors pop without being overly saturated.The video attached to this review is with the standard screen. The pictures are with the ALR screen.

Great for the money. Perfect for medium-large home cinemas.
This projector is pretty great for the money I paid ($249). It regularly has sales and coupons so don’t spend much more.It has fantastic image quality (for the price) and is bright enough to display an image at around 120 inches.Independent testing shows the ansi lumens at about 720, not the 1000 advertised. Contrast ratio around 2800:1.Normally, false advertising gets fewer stars, but the reality is that 90% of all projector manufacturers (and like, 98% of Chinese ones) exaggerate their numbers. They do this to varying degrees. You just have to look out.I don’t think you can find much better for the money. There are ones with lower latency, which might be better for gaming but this is still fast enough for slower games. I can play real time strategy games on this just fine, even competitively.Color out of the box is pretty good and with a little tuning, it can be made a bit better. I pulled out my iPad and used that as a reference for the color. Ended up matching pretty well, despite worse dynamic range etc.The audio from this isn’t super bassy, but it is loud! More than loud enough. It’s also good enough for basic viewing. For movies, I’d recommend a proper sound system.It’s small and light enough to lug around, and comes with a carrying case. Pretty decent for taking to a friends house or something.The remote control feels cheap, but it’s very intuitive and responsive.I’ve already watched a few movies on this, including Rango, Another Round and more. Very different movies, all look decent.The throw ratio is 1.355:1 meaning you need to be a full 3 meters from the wall (plus projector dimensions) to get a 100 inch image. This makes it less suitable for smaller rooms. Other than that, it’s good to go!Auto focus and auto keystone are quick and effective. The overall focus quality of this projector isn’t perfect, but it’s good enough for media. Text is also readable, but there are better options if you are looking for a classroom projector.As implied, for the money, you can’t get much better. Grab it and enjoy!

Surprisingly capable and high quality!
Surprisingly capable and high quality. Love that it has wi-fi, built in streaming apps and even the ability to play movies direct from thumb drives.I honestly couldn't ask for any more options, from auto-focus and auto-keystone correction, to the ability to reverse the image to display on the back of a screen. The internal speaker is incredibly loud and clear, but you have the ability to attach external speakers as well. The image is perfectly bright for outdoor movies at night.The menu system is well designed and responds quickly. The main interface with your apps looks beautiful and also responds quickly.I was really surprised that when I powered it up last week, there was an update waiting to download. I clicked yes and it proceeded to download, install and reboot and now has new features. To me, that means the company actually cares about the product and isn't just pushing this out and moving on to the next thing.Over all, I'm very pleased with the quality and performance for the price I paid. Really impressive!

Good but a few flaws
The projector is stunning, offering vibrant colors and excellent sound quality while being easy to use. However, one drawback is the remote control, which tends to drain batteries quickly. If you decide to purchase this projector, I suggest getting some rechargeable batteries to make life easier. As for apps, the ones I found most useful were Netflix, YouTube, and Prime Video. If you’re considering downloading something like Disney+, keep in mind that it’s not available in the projector’s App Store, so you might want to use a Fire Stick or a Roku instead.
