From the reviews it seems they're cheap because the bulb starts burning out after 3 months.
The Anker Nebula Capsule Max only has 200, and it's a pretty decent small / budget projector.
That being said, I don't believe a SINGLE thing I read/view about this projector. I might actually buy it anyway to try out - but there's no way it has these specs (especially native 1080p) for this price.

Its been a few months since this first went on sale, any other reliable reviews from slickdealers?
Good question. I am in the market for a cheap projector to use outside for a Halloween display. I need cheap as to not be horrified if it gets stolen, but I still want it to look good. Ha
I wonder how this one compares in real life experience to the v30se. From the specifications the biggest thing to me is the keystone correction, which is a plus in some cases although quality will suffer.
Got mine delivered today. The box smells like chicken poop, exactly like egg cartons from a farmers market vendor.
The projector was defective, has a black dot in the very middle of the image. It seems to be like internal dust. Outside lens was clean. Starting the return process, lets hope it goes smooth.
The other thing I noticed was that the image was tilted towards the left, had to use the lens cap to tilted so that the image would looked straight. For the money I think it is an acceptable product, but definitely their quality control is as good as a Taco Bell teenager crew working the midnight shift.
Update:
Contacted them and they tried to troubleshoot the issue. They sent me a replacement unit.
I'm assuming these are all knockoffs (this unit is $59 with a coupon bringing it down to $41). Amazon is flooded with similarly sized/spec devices in this price range.
As a temporary viewing device it was well worth the money spent. Bare in mind - this is a disposable unit, and I wouldn't expect to get a ton of use out of it. If you're going in with this mindset, I don't think you'll be disappointed. If you're expecting true 1080P/60Hz (it's not), or brightness that will work in anything but the darkest room (it won't), or for this to be your daily driver for the next year - you're going to be unhappy with your purchase.
Can anyone confirm the throw ratio is 1:4. Does that mean to fill a (relatively small) 100" screen would require the projector to be 33' away from the screen (100" x 4 = 400" = 33')

No, they sent the replacement without me having to send the defective one first. It did take like two weeks due to all the troubleshooting they wanted me to do.
Was researching portable budget projectors and found this thread. The original item is replaced by new model which is also now on sale. Any intel on this one: https://www.wewatchtech.com/produ...watch-v50b

It's nice to have for occasional games in and outside.

The 1:4 in their web page is wrong.
