“It got a genuine ’wow’ from the wife and kids,” wrote one reviewer.

Typically, projectors and screens are sold separately, according to Ashour, and a screen alone can cost hundreds to thousands of dollars. “The fact that this projector comes with an 80-inch screen makes it worth the price already,” Ashour explained. “It’s a game changer.”

Reviewers write that with realistic expectations, this projector will prove to be “one of the best entry-level choices at very affordable price” (and, wrote another, “totally worth every penny.”

Resolution is a more important concern for cinephiles setting up a home movie theater, according to Ashour. “You can’t compare this to a really expensive projector or TV because they don’t serve the same purpose. This is more about putting on a movie for a lot of people to watch at one time.”

Since the projector doesn’t include WiFi, you can use an HDMI cable or HDMI adapter to connect it to your smart devices or plug in a TV streaming stick. The package includes HDMI and AV cables; you can purchase a USB-C to HDMI adaptor here.

The projector is lightweight and small enough to fit in a hand and comes with a built-in speaker plus a remote control (which requires two AAA batteries). Reviewers note that it’s best used in the dark, whether once the sun has set or in a dark room.

“So practical! It was the perfect entertainment during the cool night of the summer. Kids and adults enjoyed them so much. Worth the investment.” —Omar Lohay

“The positive reviews are completely accurate. This is perfect for backyard movie nights or large screen feel inside. It’s versatile and easy to use. Totally worth every penny!” —involved parent

“This projector is my new BFF – it’s like having a tiny magician in a box! We’ve gone from projecting images on the wall to trace some high-tech Picasso, to transforming our backyard into a mini cinema with movie nights under the stars using HDMI and a Roku stick. And don’t even get me started on the speaker – it’s like a little powerhouse, belting out sound like it’s auditioning for a rock concert!

But wait, there’s more! This projector has a secret acrobat with its hidden leg that lets it tilt like it’s doing yoga poses, and the focus is so spot-on it could give a laser pointer an inferiority complex.

Overall, this projector is a steal – it’s like getting VIP tickets to the theater without breaking the bank.” —Dan K

“We used our projector last night for the first time. It was so much fun. Our grandkids and their mommy and daddy as well as their Uncle live with us. We had the best time watching Snow White. the old disney classic. I wish you could have been here to see the clear picture we had. I am almost 72 I don;t like to set and watch movies however this time I was so excited. I was worried about how the picture would look and I was so surprised it was like being at the Drive Inn , we had popcorn, apple pie and sodas, Plus a number of other things. We even had our own bathroom. WE could have put on Pj’s as a well. The grandkids even got their old kitty cars out and lined them up for fun. Love this. Its must have for every family.” —S. Jaggers

“We brought this projector camping and it was super easy to set up and use. Just plugged it in and added an amazon fire stick. The picture was perfect and it played beautifully on the side of our camper. We didn’t really have to adjust anything. Kids, adults and cousins absolutely loved it!! Looking forward to many movie nights. The speaker in the projector worked well for the amount of people we had watching the movie, which was 10!!” —Danielle
