NexiGo PJ40 (Gen 3) Projector with WiFi and Bluetooth, D65 Calibrated, Native 1080P, 4K Supported, Projector for Outdoor Movies, 20W Speakers, Home Theater, Compatible w/TV Stick, iOS, Android

I recently purchased the PJ20 Movie Projector with the idea that I would use it camping with my family during the summer nights, as you can image the time can be long. I have seen other such devices used in the camp ground. I tested this device with my iPhone, a Roku and my Mac Air. It exceeded my expectations. I would just like to say that this device, the remote, and the user manual, both online and provided, were super easy to use. The PJ20 Movie Projector that I bought was easy to setup and there is no configurations needed. Simply plug some cables, focus, and it worked fine. I connected power and it was that simple. I started to unpack it and within 15 minutes was up and running with little or no experience in setting up devices like this. I tested it against a white wall, as it was the most convenient surface I had. I plan to buy a screen for the summer but have not done so yet. I have seen these devices used on camper sides and a screen will be a great addition to this device. This is clear and this one can be tilted up to 15 degrees with an adjustment on the back on the PJ20. First, the iPhone mirror connection was easy to use. It was very intuitive and the video quality was excellent. It offer me, the ease of setup that my niece (8 years old) and nephew (7 years old) could use easily. The WiFi option, is what I did use first, it is as easy as the steps that are shown in the manual and are covered in more depth in the manual than I will go in to here. I also did mirror my iPhone with a cable. It did what the same as the WiFi option cast feature did with the same result. It did work very easily. The iPhone I used was was running the latest iOS and was a few years old, an XR. So it does not need the latest hardware to operate. Nor does the iOS. The projector could, and will, be used by everyone this summer. They have iPhones, and will probably want to share videos and pictures that they took during the days of summer fun. The USB port for the iPhone does work with ease. I only have apple products. I can only attest to how well this would work with Apple products, not PC’s or Android devices . I have no experience with these, sorry. Next, I tested my Roku player I have. As you can image that they need WiFi. You could use the WiFi Option on your iPhone. I have not tried that but I image that it would work also. The Roku, as you may know, can need a power connection. The Roku usually uses the TV as it’s power source, but that can be supplied by that PJ20. It has a USB port that can provide power to the Roku. I did not use the power supplied by the PJ20. The Roku had it’s own power adapter. I preferred to use it instead. The player and device work just fine, no problems. This setup was seamless and easy. I have not included photos of the actual screens but it did work fine. The PJ20 was fine in that regard. The PJ20 displayed any image that that Roku could provide. Last, the laptop that I used was a Mac Air 13 inch 2019 running Ventura and 8 Gigs of RAM. The PJ20 Movie Projector, while I did not know this, would mirror: Netflix, Prime video or other streaming services image, I only tried these two. It would not mirror Netflix on my iPhone, but did for the laptop. I had no play back problems on my Mac. The USB C Multi-Port Hub was generic and should not affect the playback or quality of videos that you would expect to get from a device like the PJ20 Movie Projector. The HDMI connections work and there should be no configuration needed.The mirroring of Mac Air and PJ20 was easy and allowed the video playback to take place. It was easy to setup with little or no experience necessary. I hope that anyone that reads this review will see the ease of use, and the intuitive setup features, that everyone needs are provided by this device and are for all skill levels. I can only imagine the good memories that a future of family camping will bring and how much fun that we will have using it and sharing their days adventures. And the fun they will be having! In closing, the purchase of this device will be greatly used, showing the day events, movies and selfies that we can share as a family. I hope you share your family memories also! Brian

I had a decent, big name brand, bulb projector about six years ago and recently got interested in getting another one because of the new LED/LCD technology that's currently available. I watched a lot of reviews and decided this one looked like the best all around pick for me and I was correct. This thing is BRIGHT, like watchable in a fairly well lit room bright. Of course it's best in low light as any projector would be, but I can have lights on and even curtains open (blinds still shut) with almost no degradation in picture quality. I have it set up where it's about a 100" screen and the picture is crystal clear 1080p and I have no doubt it would look amazing all the way up to the possible 300" (which I can't wait to try when I can find a space big enough for it). I also just have the thing projecting on a flat white painted wall, no special screen or paint and it looks prefect, I can only imagine how good it would look on a purpose made screen. I originally hooked up the sound output through a bluetooth speaker, but there was a slight delay in the sound making it not line up with the picture. I disconnected the bluetooth and to my surprise the built in speakers actually sound great. I'm still going to try to run a hard line 3.5mm headphone cord to the speaker for booming sound when I want it, but I'm honestly very content with the unit itself. I have the thing mounted just a couple feet over my head and the fan noise at level 8 (stock setting) is basically zero, I don't even hear it when there's any audio playing. I haven't tried hooking up to a gaming system yet, but I'm fairly confident that it will preform well. I'll update this review if it's at all laggy once I do. I couldn't be happier with this purchase, for the price of a 50" television I have a 100"+ screen that absolutely rocks. Just a note, I do have mine set up where it requires no keystone correction which should give it the best chance of optimal performance. Be aware that it projects the picture evenly, equal up, down, and side to side, so you want to be as centered and straight on to your screen as possible. As you can probably gather I have nothing but good things to say about the PJ40, but I will be brutally honest and update this review if I encounter any issues in the future. 6 month update: I have typically used this projector for 2-3 hours each evening for the last six months and it's still as amazing as the day I got it. Every person that sees the image, size, and brightness of the screen is seriously impressed. I couldn't be happier with its performance. I still haven't even bothered getting a real screen or special paint for the wall because it looks perfect on my flat white wall. I think this projector is going to last, but even if it crapped out today, I have spent the equivalent of about $1.60 a day to own it at this point (around $300 to buy and owned for around 180 days), totally worth it already. There's no need to buy a more expensive projector for general home theater use.

The projector is great has a amazing picture and the bluetooth has great connection works amazing with gaming and in my opion has a better image than my 70inch tv the brightness is easy to control and for the money it is very very good the sound quality is ok for a projector much better bluetoothed or hard wired to a speaker but all functions work great but one the remote has to be a few inches away to work may only be a problem with my particular remote or projector other than that its awesome i would give it 5 stars if i did not have the remote issue

My family doesn’t watch TV, ever. But we do like to watch streaming shows during meals. Three people staring at a tablet can get old real fast. I didn’t want to hang a display in the dining room so I decided to give a projector a try. Having used several NexiGo products in the past, particularly cameras, I decided to give their budget projector, the PJ20, a try. It had a great deal for Black Friday which made it too good to pass up. This review does not touch on all of the capability of the PJ20, but it does cover my use case in detail. Unboxing the projector and getting the initial setup done is a piece of cake. I found a space at the end of the table facing a blank wall, setup both WiFi and Bluetooth, and got the keystone and focus set. First thing I found was that the image was tilted to the side. I was worried that the projector was wonked but when I pulled out a bubble level I found that the table itself had a slight tilt. Taking that slight tile and blowing it up to a 6’ across screen really exaggerates the effect. Fortunately, this could be solved with a notepad under one corner. Having a built in level and adjustable feet would have made this a bit easier (especially for people who use the projector on the road), but you can’t really expect that at this price point. Next thing I noticed was how the focus and keystone correction interact. This projector uses an optical keystone correction instead of a digital one. This has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of optical keystone is that you don’t end up with jagged effects from pixels being stretched or compressed by the keystone correction. The disadvantage you get is that the focus is not quite consistent when correcting the keystone. Depending on how much correction is applied, it becomes impossible to have both the center and outside corners in focus at the same time. This is not something you are likely to notice with video content (as long as you focus the center of the screen), but if you are showing computer content such as text it may be noticeable. Easiest solution here was to get the projector up higher. For some quick testing, a 20” stool (on the table) was good enough and put the image high enough to be comfortable for viewing while seated. When the image is straight on you can get good focus for both the center and the sides. Speaking of focus, any time you push the focus buttons on the remote, a test pattern is displayed that helps to make the adjustments. It goes back to your regular content a couple of seconds after you stop pushing the buttons. Now that it is ready to go, time to try out some media. First attempt as having the trusty tablet feed video to the projector using a USB-C to HDMI hub that I travel with. I’ve used it with my phone many times to throw content (including movies) onto TVs at hotels. I plugged it in, switching input to HDMI 1, and there was my tablet’s screen on the wall. Looked great until I started playing a movie with Netflix and everything went black. Welcome to the wonderful world of DRM (Digital Rights Management). There are warning on the product page about major streaming services not working with wireless display on the projector. Unfortunately, even a wired display has the same issue when being fed from an Android tablet. Services that don’t impose DRM, such as YouTube, displayed fine but if you have paid services, it is likely they won’t work. Time for plan B. I took an old Chromecast (second generation), grabbed a short USB cable, and plugged it into the projector. The Chromecast is plugged into the HDMI input and one of the projector’s USB ports is providing power. Turned it on, and after a minute for the Chromecast to boot up its home screen appeared on the wall. So, next, fire up the tablet again, back into Netflix, and this time tell it to cast to the Chromecast. Success! The movie was playing on the wall big as life. And by big as life, I mean an image that was 68” across (diagonal) at 92” distance from the projector face. Let’s talk about image quality. Unfortunately, I can’t give an accurate description here due to two factors that impeded my test. First, it was daytime and there was a huge amount of ambient light. The image was still watchable, but it was very low contrast. I’m pretty sure that in the evening it will be fine in that regard. Next up was the color. Unfortunately, again, I don’t have the right setup. I haven’t picked up a screen yet and was throwing the image at a wall which is a bit of a yellowish beige color. Despite both of these encumbrances, the image was still sharp and any text on screen was easy to read. For general media consumption, I’ve never seen the need for anything more than 1080p, which this projector handles just fine. Next is sound. The built-in speaker is loud. Loud enough that it caught me off guard when the movie started and I had the volume cranked as I was expecting the same tin can speakers that most computer monitors have. I had to dial the volume back to about 30% to be comfortable. You could fill a large meeting room with the sound from the built-in speaker. The fidelity isn’t as good as you get with a separate sound system though, so this was the next area I tried out. I have a Sony portable speaker that works with either Bluetooth or wired. Tried it out with Bluetooth first. It was easy to detect and setup but the sound was out of sync with the video. Yes, I’m on 5Ghz WiFi. This is a known issue with this particular speaker and I had the same issue when using it with a tablet, so no real surprise here. Pulled out an audio cable and hooked it up to the projector that way. Sound switched from the internal speaker to the Sony as soon as the cable was plugged in and it sounded great. With that we have a working streaming video setup. I do have a few improvements planned but I need to order (or wait for deliveries) on them. First off, of course, I need a proper screen. An off-white wall just doesn’t work right. That is on me and would affect any projector. Next up, the media source. Another Black Friday deal I ran across is a new Chromecast with Google TV. It won’t be here for another week but once it is I’ll be able to stream Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, and Plex (the four sources I use for most of my content) without having to use a phone or tablet. I should be able to hook it up the same way as the current Chromecast. Last thing I’m planning to get is an adjustable projector stand so I can get the ideal height without having to worry about keystone adjustment. Of course, no product is perfect, especially at this price point. There are a few things that could be better but I won’t hold it against the PJ20 based on the price point it operates at. The biggest issue is the fan. It is loud, really loud. If you are watching a quiet show, it will be very noticeable. The case for a projector like this is mostly hollow. It wouldn’t be too hard to put a couple more fans in that run at lower speed so that one fan doesn’t have to work so hard. The fans could also be set to adjust speed based on temperature so that they don’t have to run full speed all the time. This is an improvement that wouldn’t need to add much cost to the unit. Something else that would be handy, but again isn’t expected at this price point, is a leveling system. Put a small bubble level in the top of the projector and make the feet adjustable. If someone is using the projector for a demo on the road, and the setup is ideal, being able to adjust without eyeballing and sliding stacks of paper under the feet would be much more professional. Last thing is integration with streaming. Again, probably too big of ask at this price point but still worth considering. Ideally would be to build streaming right into the projector, but I don’t see that happening except on models costing twice as much. One compromise would be to add two features. First, allow one of the USB ports to remain powered when the projector power is switched off. This would allow a streaming stick (such as a Chromecast) to stay active instead of having to boot up from cold every time the projector is turned on. The next thing, would requires the powered USB to work, is to support CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) for the HDMI ports. When my Chromecast is hooked up to a TV I can shout at the nearest Google smart device, “OK Google, turn on the kitchen TV”. The Chromecast will then tell the TV to turn on and it will be ready for use without me having to hunt down a remote. It would be great to be able to turn a projector on the same way. There you have it. For an entry-level projector you can’t ask for much more. As long as you don’t set your expectations above the price point you will be very happy with the NexiGo PJ20.

bought this back in November 2024. it's been about 6 months or so since this problem started. It worked fine before this point. basically when you turn it on you'll get this yellow screen immediately with bars and lines and no picture. after a couple minutes it'll start showing some kind of picture but still with these discolored artifacts all over like shown in my other pic. this is the projector that sits in my living room. I've never had the vent obstructed and it's always sat on a table that I never moved or messed with. I cleaned the vents as recommended in the instruction manual. and every time the projector gave me a warning to clean out the vents I would do it. and still this happened for no reason whatsoever. very disappointing because I have a different nexigo projector that has been working beautifully since 2022 so I thought the upgraded version would be a great addition for my living room but this thing low key is a piece of junk. of course when you talk to customer service or whatever they just tell you it's out of warranty and there's nothing they can do. this thing didn't even get heavy use mind you, I used the other one in my bedroom far more often and yet this is the one that crapped out. if you want something that will last a long time do not buy this

Fantastic bang for the buck with the same stellar quality I've grown fond of with NexiGo. I have a NexiGo webcam I love, which has great quality. And with the PJ40 I was hoping for the same, and I was not disappointed! Not only is the device itself very nice, but even the manual and box feel quality. I Was also impressed that I was able to update it immediately update it online by connecting to wifi. Love how NexiGo keeps on top of their product software. I travel a good bit to visit family and sometimes for work, and there isn't always a TV available for me to use at the destination. But this beast is not only easy to pack back up and transport than some giant TV, but it's also significantly less expensive. Up to 300" screen size? Setup in just a couple minutes with manual focus adjustment that works perfect? Phenomenal color quality and gorgeous picture? 1070p native and 4k??? Count me in! It also comes with a remote with batteries. But has buttons on the projector in case your dog eats the remote! And if the dog eats the manual too? There's a digital copy built into the projector, that you can easily access! I think they've thought of everything with this one. Truly blown away. And with NexiGo's incredible customer service, I'd be surprised if you have any issues that don't get properly resolved if you give them a chance. I saw a negative review that seemed to be left by someone that never gave the company a chance to repair or replace their product. I guess my point is, don't hesitate to to business with NexiGo. Need something convenient that's less than a TV? Have family or kids that visit? Travel often? Want to set up your own theater? Then the PJ40 will do a great job for you, for whichever your needs are!

This definitely feels and look like a more premium version of the PJ20. Pros: - I really liked the auto keystone correction. It's very useful and works properly. - The speakers are very good considering it's a projector speaker. - The image is very clear, and can achieve massive size of up to 300" (although I didn't test that size) - The lens cover and controller feel very premium, as opposed to the PJ20 Cons: - The main con and the reason I'm giving it a 3 stars is that when making the software update from RUIOS 5214.1.1.0 to RUIOS 5214.1.1.1 it got stuck for no apparent reason in 21% download. In general, most electronics are not supposed to be shut off in the middle of a software update, so I decided to just leave it there updating and see if it continued. After 4-5 hours, it hadn't move from 21%, so I decided to try to back out of the update. When I click back in, it continued from 21%, but it started loading again, then it got stuck on 33% again for no apparent reason. So, I went back out of the update, and back in, and it continued downloading more, but the same thing happened 5 times, so I had to back out and back into it 5 times to complete the update. By the time I was finally able to get the software update, it had spent so much time on the same screen, that the lens got burn in with the update screen, which was incredibly annoying when watching TV series or movies on it. It would've honestly been a 1 star if the burn in had remained, but after watching a few movies on it, the burn in is completely gone now. - In the default settings, the fan noise is quite noticeable, but it is something that can be easily changed in settings. - Before the software update, I was watching a movie and the projector was flickering a bit, with a black frame every now and then. I couldn't figure out why, but after the update I didn't see that again, so I imagine it was something that was fixed with the update. Overall: I'm pretty concerned with the software updates for this projector, and while other than that it is a ver good projector, I'm not sure if it justifies the price difference from the PJ20. It probably does if you need the 300" screen, or if you're really into the premium look/feel of it. Update, 14/09/2024: After speaking with Nexigo support, they gave me a local update file, which allow me to update the projector very easily. Having said that, having to contact support for a software update still seems too much of a hassle for something that should be very easy, which is why I am maintaining the score at 3. Their support team did mention that the very slow online software update was likely caused by the fact that I am in LATAM, and their servers for updates are in the US. I've bought several items from them in the past, so I do believe them, and if you are in the US, it's very likely that this won't be an issue for you at all, in which case I'd give this projector 5 stars. If you are in LATAM, then you may encounter the issue mentioned in the original post, and I believe that it merits 3 stars as it can damage the projector screen, or force you to contact support for an update, which seems excessive for a very simple software update.

We just got a Nexigo 1080P LCD PJ40 BLK-2 projector and wow does it look sexy! We have an older projector that's all square and blocky, but this one is really sleek and looks really cool! Not only does the projector look great, but it has some really great features and looks really good with a crisp and clear picture. The picture adjustment is really simple and is hidden away in a little easy slider switch right behind the display eye. Not only is that super simple and quick to adjust, but the adjustment of the keystone perspective for the projector is automatic, it works great and when I had to point it up a bit, it just adjusted easily by itself. Connecting to this new projector is really easy and can be done in a ton of ways! I connected my phone to the projector over the same WIFI using Miracast just following the guide that came with the projector, it was simple to understand and easy to setup. That worked great, because I could then just stream from my device to the projector and didn't have to be right next to it. I also just connected our main system to the projector using our HDMI cable and that worked really easily. Both ways of connection looked great, sounded good (I even connected the projector to our Bluetooth speaker system with ease) and were overall a great experience! I also was able to connect my USB thumb drive directly to the projector to play a home video we had and that worked great. The device will also connect to a hosted network drive or will communicate over DLNA from another supported device, so it has a LOT of options for your convenience. I would highly recommend this projector!

Excellent product. Pure joy to use it.
