I've been following this projector on many sites for a couple of months now. Usually sells on eBay for around $500 used…. I currently have 1 and it's great. 1080p resolution, but plays 4k files! If you want to use Ethernet, you need a usb to Ethernet adapter. Just Bought another to flip, and wanted to share a great deal with fellow SDers! Enjoy!

For this price, if you need a portable speaker it's a steal. The brightness is a little dim though. If you don't need portability, around this price, you can get a PT-RZ370U with low hours off eBay, which is highly recommended for a starter/budget projector. Since it was made for commercial use, they're beasts. Great quality and last forever. Plus can be found relatively cheap since they're not on everyones radar. I'm currently using that + a firestick and love it.

appears to have the same projection technology, though the EF12 adds built in android tv, better build in speaker, different shape/size, and larger input lag (not sure why this is the case, but apparently it's noticable when gaming on it)

Got a $50 projector last year for pool parties: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WRKSZ3D

Works great. Will this one be better? I'd like a little brighter, although the lm rating on this is 1000 and my $50 thing advertises like 4500lm

This might help identify differences

I have been looking for a small projector to use in hotels. At this price I'll give this one a shot. This will replace my EPSON HC 3500 which I sometimes use in hotels. Thanks OP!

Quote from yaadev :
Can these by ceiling mounted? Look so big and boxy compared to other projectors
It's 5 inches tall and takes about 1/3 of the footprint of most projectors. It only looks big and boxy because it's not sitting next to anything recognizable in the photos.

There is a mounting plate available for wall or tripod mounting. Doesn't mention ceiling mounting, but I did see a review that said you can't flip the image for rear projection. That would suggest to me you probably can't flip the image vertically either, which would be required for ceiling mounting.

Apples to oranges - this projector will be a lot brighter with a better image. The projector you purchased has an inflated lumens rating (likely closer to 100 lumens) because there is nobody regulating sweatshop projector ratings.

Anyone looking for difference between ef11 and ef12 , here it is . If you already have a firestick , ef11 would be a more compact option, less bulky.
Ef 11 is $211 vs ef12 $249

Someone in the reviews is not happy with the keystone correction, any idea about it??
No issues with keystone on this projector and it's actually fairly elaborate allowing for lots of options. I had this projector but sold it a while back and regretted it so I grabbed it again. Audio is also amazing on this unit. It's a portable movie theater.

I still can't figure out which 1 to get ef11 or ef12. I ordered both and can possibly return the 1 I don't open. I did grt the ef12 from Amazon for 800 and ended up returning it since I didn't feel it was worth 800 but it seems totally worth it for this price.

I couldn't figure out if I could use bluetooth with ef11, but the ef11 does not have earc.

I have a firestick and it connects to Bluetooth home theater system, if you already have a sound system setup then prob ef12 might not be useful and its bulky too, i ended up buying both but will keep ef11 and return ef12 . Not much difference apart from auto focus and keystones. Ef11 is good if you already have some kind of setup at home , ef12 is good if you want a new setup without worrying about the sound setup etc. bulb and picture quality are same , lot of youtube videos avl for ef11 vs ef12
