Good concept bad execution
I bought this for my son a few weeks ago from Toy's R Us. I returned it the next day. The concept is good but for the price, you expect better. I know the limitation of the projector being a toy, but to sell something that doesn't even work is pure evil. The box has tons of false advertising and the company should be punished for this.
After we brought it home, we set it up in my dining room right away. I plugged in my old XBox with the Halo game. The resolution was so bad that we could hardly figure out anything. Undeterred, I tried again but this time in my son's bedroom under total darkness. Without turning on the light, I could hardly see 2 feet in front of me. Turn the project on, same problem. The images are so bad that you get eye strain by just watching it for 2 minutes. Tried adjusting the focus, no luck. The only positive thing about this toy is the sound. If you want your kids to start wearing glasses, this toy is for you. Otherwise, don't waste your money.
