Pyle HD Hi-Res Smart Projector w/Dual Core Android CPU

Pro's: Price. For what you pay, you get a lot of nice features. Yes there are better projectors out there for much more money but for entry level this was pretty inexpensive. "Smart" features/Android operating system: We only use Netflix, Hulu etc. and do not subscribe to a cable or satellite company so having the ability to stream these was a big plus. The wifi is nice and was easy to set up. It seems to pick up the signal pretty well. Our router is downstairs across the house and the signal is still pretty strong (some of this depends on your wifi equipment of course but we don't have anything special) I also love the fact that I can download apps from the play store. Even use the internet if so desired. Bluetooth works great too. For those wondering, it can send bluetooth signals to audio equipment. Picture quality: It isn't a theatre quality machine, but then again it doesn't cost the same either. I have it set up in a dark bedroom and it is plenty bright/clear for our needs. I would not suggest trying to watch it with more then minimal ambient light, leave that trick to the more expensive projectors. But for me at least, part of the enjoyment of watching a movie or TV is the theatre experience, which includes a dark room. Cons: The sound could be crisper. It has plenty of volume but the distortion at higher decibels is noticeable. I fixed this by purchasing a separate sound bar with sub-woofer. It is wireless and pairs easily. Instructions: They are pretty barebones but the projector isn't all that complicated. Remote: Like many reviewers, I found the remote too basic, especially when using the android features. I fixed that with a keyboard and wireless mouse and it works great. Lack of better connections: I was dismayed to see that it did not offer more advanced audio connections like optical. The RCA is ok, but not optional. I would have hoped that since it offered a more advanced operating system, they would have stepped up the connections a bit. It can be overcome of course but not at additional expense. BTW, this is not a short throw projector. I have it at 12ft from where it is located to the screen and the picture is about 8ft by 5ft but if I had the room it could be larger. When all is said and done, the quality and value are there. Very happy with my purchase. The features it offers outweigh the con's for me. Pictures were taken 5 minutes after initial set (yes the screen is not centered I know) The blue lines on the Star Trek image are part of the movie itself as well as Lt. Uhura being out of focus.
