Some serious hidden limitations to know before you buy.
This is *almost* a great value, but unfortunately, after some heavy use, there are several big limitations that move this into a "do not buy" for me. You've probably heard all of the good things. Small, portable, some apps, somewhat usable built in speaker, bt connectivity, etc. Those are all true. It's not the brightest or 1080, but it seems like it would be great for simple, fun family use. However: 1.) While the projector is 720p the built in Netflix app (and any side-loaded app) will NOT DISPLAY MORE THAN 480P. It's not a certified device I guess? But whatever the reason, you CANNOT stream Netflix HD. Huge deal breaker. 2.) Well no problem! Just plug in a laptop or Roku to the HDMI in! Yes... except the HDMI presents about a 1 to 2 second audio lag no matter the source. Completely unusable. 3.) I could never get the Nebula Connect phone app to work. Connected both to the same Wi-Fi and paired them via BT but they would never communicate. All in all that makes this projector good for... well basically emergency boardroom PowerPoint projections where audio isn't a necessity and that's about it. If Anker can fix those giant glaring issues (seriously how can you advertise it's HD and then the streaming apps are gimped to SD?!) then it would instantly go to a value that's definitely worth the price.
