Get this one!
School tech here...This is used in a middle school, mounted to a ceiling. The least tech savvy teacher has no issues using this. Even with crappy wifi, this thing connects. We have used several other projectors in this district and this one is by far the best. It's been in this classroom for 1+ years. I wish the district had the budget to buy one for all the classrooms....

Check your wires first thing
This is an expensive product to not have work properly. We have issues with the connection cables, which makes the picture go out constantly. The picture is great when it works, but I suggest mounting it straight on, rather than using the angle feature. We set it on a book shelf on the right side of the room and messed with the settings to get it to center on the wall i...

Always reliable
We have purchased seven of these for different offices since 2013. We purchased two in early 2020. Never had a problem. Can't possibly be happier with that reliability. I have high hopes for this new purchase for 2021.

Great for outdoors
Have been using this for backyard movie nights during this pandemic summer. Bright enough to project in a shady spot during the day. I'd planned to use external speakers anyways but the sound is pretty tinny and warbled. Comes with everything _except_ the HDMI cable so make sure you have one on hand.

Almost perfect
Almost everything that I was looking for in a projector at this price range...except for one thing that is somewhat annoying. There is no audio out to hook up my JBL portable surround speakers. The current sound coming from the projector itself is in mono which is unacceptable. I got this as a portable projector for backyard movies and to be able to bring it anywhere...

iProjection software doesn't support Office or Keynote files as advertised
The primary reason I purchased the projector was to display presentations (Keynote and PowerPoint). However I've been told by Support that iProjection only supports Office 2013 and below which directly contradicts the spec page for the application. Since I'm running Office 365 that means I can't use the projector for my primary use case. In addition it lacks Airplay...

It’s great but...
The projector is light and flexible.
However, the Wireless is a problem. I spent valuable time with an untrained rep and never connected to my iPhone. VGA, HDMI worked as expected.
