Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Quick background: I'm a junior in college and have preferred projectors over buying TV's (easier to transfer and select different screen sizes). I typically setup a projector in the living room to blast up on the wall without a screen or background. I've been using a cheaper RSA projector for quite sometime, and I have not considered upgrading for a while. As I was browsing deals of the day I stumbled across this projector. I tend to research products extensively before buying and ultimately decided I would give this projector a go. After a few weeks of playing with its multiple features this is the conclusion I've come to: Picture Quality: The first thing I noticed was how crisp and detailed the picture was. I was just using a wall in my room and it looked like a built in 250inch TV. I tried to take some pictures of the quality but phone cameras don't do this justice. I fiddled around with a fire stick, xbox 360, and media player/mobile device hookups. Movies look fantastic as well as video games such as rock band off the 360. The mobile device display wasn't the best and tends to seem glitchy while moving from app to app or streaming. I feel the media player was not on par compared to the price point. Remote Control: The remote is awful. It gets the job done, yeah ok. It was made of super cheap material and is obviously noticeable apon opening. The buttons can be awkward to click, and the projector doesn't always pick up commands from the remote. You'll probably find yourself clicking the buttons multiple times before getting a response. Sound: Another thing I wanted to touch on is the sound. This goes for both the actual audio of the projector and the noise of the fan. The audio is OK on the projector. I'm an audiophile and to me, this just wasn't enough. There is no way to fix input lag when connected to speakers via bluetooth. To put this into perspective, rock band has to adjust to a 255ms audio delay between what's on the screen and the sound matching up to it. This differs from TV's and monitors averaging around 30ms. So watching things connected to bluetooth speakers might bother those wanting to hear explosions the second something explodes in a movie or video game. (not sure if an audio cable is significantly better or not. I would assume it is) Lastly, the fan in this machine is pretty loud. I have no other middle size projectors to compare it to, but it just seems to be louder than it should be. It doesnt bug me that much. Other Notes: One weird thing about this projector appears after its turned off. Once it is completely powered down, there is still a faint bit of light that shines from the projector. In a pitch black room, you'll notice it. It's the last screen that the projector was playing before it shut down. Not a huge problem as i just put on the lens cap when I'm done using it Overall this is a solid projector that offers pretty competitive picture quality when compared to other projectors. For the price point I feel like there could be plenty of improvements such as media player lag issues and the trash remote. I will not be returning it. It will workout well in my apartment for college. UPDATE 3/30/22 - The bulb in this projector went out on me this past month. I tried to contact the company about the issue. They began ghosting me to avoid providing a solution to the problem. This projector isn't old at all and the bulb already went out. DONT EXPECT ANY SUPPORT FROM THIS COMPANY! AVOID AT ALL COSTS! There are PLENTY of other options out there with accredited companies with accommodating support teams. FANGOR can't deliver in the customer service. You've been warned! ANOTHER update 7/13/22 - Support ended up reaching out to me about the product issue only AFTER I updated this review about it. It's just weird that it took months to conveniently get back to me right when one of their most viewed reviews is changed to one star. I stand by my rating because I'm still not convinced this company has the heart to help people who aren't affecting their sales. I guess I'm lucky this review caught traction. Be aware!
