I have this. This is a great price.

What is good about it is that the specs aren't exaggerated like so many cheap LED projectors on Amazon. It is objectively brighter than two Amazon projectors I've tried that cost over $100 and claimed 700 ANSI lumen. Colors are also reasonably accurate and the image it produces will look good and sharp. I've projected it at up to 120 inches and it is solid.

The big downsides for me are that it doesn't have any optical or digital zoom, and the keystone adjustment is extremely minimal. What this means is that if you are projecting onto a screen, your placement options are very limited, as the projector has to be a set distance from the screen and also above/below the screen. It also doesn't help that the power cable is super short, but you can use a PC power supply cable that is longer if needed. Not a huge deal, but it can be annoying. Lastly, it did get a few small dust spots over time that I wasn't able to get rid of, but this is common with any cheap LED projector and not a deal breaker.

For this price, if this is your first foray into projectors, you will not be disappointed at all. The image quality and brightness that this is capable of is way better than other cheap LED projectors I've tried.

Something I've learned - when buying cheap LED projectors, check the wattage. This unit uses around 150 watts and comes with a separate brick power supply. I've tried two other cheap LED projectors from Amazon that claimed higher lumen counts and both used 75 watts and neither had an external power supply. This one is far brighter than those, so I think there's something to this.

Depends on your space/storage availability. First try anything that is white and flat. An untextured white wall works surprisingly well. If you have a good wall and are content with the image, stop there.

If you plan to buy a nicer projector down the line and have a dedicated space, I really like my Elite Screens Manual B pull-down screen. It has a slight gain surface, so it helps brighten the image, and the material is solid, so light doesn't pass through it. Downside is you need a place to hang it or store it and they're rigid and very long (if you get a large enough size).

If you use a cheap cloth screen mounted on a frame and it's too close to a wall, light can pass through it and bounce back, making the image look fuzzy. However, if your space allows enough space between the cloth screen and the wall (such as projecting outdoors) this issue is mitigated and they can look good. This can be a good option if you have minimal storage space, but a good pull-down screen will definitely look better.

Curious, is that fairly bright or rather dim? What's a good target for an above average size bedroom with some light leakage?

Very dim but this thing is cheap.....If you have a very dark room this might be okay.

I was about to say something about cheap projectors but this doesn't look bad from YouTube reviews I've watched. It's definitely one step above those cheap toy projectors.

One thing to knock about this particular unit is that you can find similarly priced projectors on Amazon or Ali that also have the ability to cast to them.

But with the restrictions streaming service apps have, it's really only a convenience if you're using your own media.

I'd check out some used short-throw or ultra short-throw projectors on eBay, and use projectorcentral dot com (not sure if links are allowed here) to find more thorough specifications and calculate the appropriate distance for your desired screen size.

I have an RCA projector, physical body is different but specs are very similar and I paid also 50 for it so most likely it's the same thing in a new packaging. First of all, it's cheap, don't expect great anything. Having said that, in a dark room it gets the job done. I moved back in March and I survived on that projector for a couple months while I got a new TV. You won't see much during the day unless you have blackout courtains, but at night it's decent and the image can go above 100" before distorting to an unwatchable level

I unboxed this from the last deal of $50, during the Black Ops 6 beta since I couldn't see enemies too well. I have 3 other older projectors (2 XGA and a 1080p) that were $600+. This was decent but I played in a dark room. My main complaint was the clarity from one side of the 100" screen to the other wasn't as good but well worth $50.

Go on eBay and get a used low hours Epson projector. It'll be about 8x brighter than this for the same or similar price.

EDIT: For a deal site, lots of people here not really willing to seek out a deal.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/256581337950 (out of stock now, but more listings on eBay just like this willing to accept offers). Bought it for $50.
