"1080p supported", but 800x480 native resolution. You certainly get what you pay for.

I would recommend paying up a few dollars more for a native 720p. Even on these cheapo LCD projectors, it makes a decent difference. They can be found for under $100 on Amazon

In for one. Seems like a great deal for an outdoor projector

I hope you can still cancel. It's only 800x400 resolution. The "1080p support" just means it will accept a 1080p source. It still outputs at a max of only 800x400.

Basically 480P resolution, which isn't even HD. That being said, the upconvert is probably OK. I personally would not get a projector that isn't at least 720P native resolution.

Save your eyes. Don't bother with this cheap projector. low resolution and not bright enough. Fake reviews on amazon site. Got one and returned it the next day.

How did you get this coupon code? Does it work on other models?

I have similar generic projector, I think it was $40 I actually never even used it yet due to lacking sufficient space but my main purpose to use it eventually will be for Netflix streaming and playing rpi3 retro games so resolution doesn't make a big deal to me as long as the picture clear and decent. I've mostly used a roku 3m portable projector previously, and it's 480p/dvd quality but it's rechargeable, has WiFi capability to stream Netflix, YouTube, etc and keeps about a 90 minute charge. A bit pricey back in 2013 for $150 though

Just bought this a few days ago at 70. A little split on my opinion of it. The quality of the image is fine, what is really got me undecided is the brightness. Really can't be used on anything but a perfectly dark room

I use Cheap projectors like this for Halloween and "window projection of videos on repeat". Also projecting on garage. Also great for Christmas and "snow falling". At $60 costs as much as other lawn ornaments.

Use a Cheap USB stick formatted FAT32 and put an mp4

I have this projector, it's definitely worth it at this price. I would say it's far better suited for indoor use than outdoor use, particularly if you plan to try to make the dimensions of your picture large. I'm pretty disappointed that my roommate and I paid full price, congrats y'all!
