I bought this to use for an outdoor Halloween party for my middle grade son and his friends. The party was in our backyard after school... The party started with the kids playing a little sports in the yard, then they all carved pumpkins for Halloween, with parents helping/teaching/supervising. As the sun was starting to set, we ordered pizza. Once it got dark, the kids settled in to watch an age-appropriate "scary" movie outside ("Goosebumps" was the movie). The projector was perfect. It picked up the signal from my phone, and projected the movie onto the screen, which I had hung in my yard. The picture quality and the sound quality was good. The screening was fun for the kids. We set up picnic blankets. The kids sat and watched the movie on a cool fall evening. I was happy with the price. (A few days before the party, I had gone to a "big box" store to buy a projector, but the choices were limited and the prices were high. I then checked Amazon. Lots of selection, and lots of reviews to check. I chose this projector based on the price and the reviews, and I was happy with it.) The projector did exactly what we wanted for the Halloween party. Since then, we have used it additional times with just our family. This was a good purchase for us.

This is a good projector specially for the price point. I loved that it has great audio and very handy for outdoor viewing. It also comes with a 100 inch screen that you can hang on the wall but it does not have any stands. The colors are good for the price range. It is very easy to setup and use and packaging is great. Overall, I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for outdoor projection or even inside as secondary device.

Recently, I was looking for a replacement for a “consumer-grade” home projector from RCA. I happened to see one on sale at Target in their electronics department and thought it might be fun to have. The novelty of that unit wore off quickly, though, as it was only standard resolution (480 lines vertical, a standard in the US) and didn't have that great a picture.I'm glad I thought to take a peek on Amazon, because this Roconia projector was available, and at a surprisingly good price for full HD. For comparison I considered a Vankyo unit, which now seems to be the more popular brand for home projectors at retailers like Target and Walmart.But the thing is, the more I read about the Roconia projector, the more I was willing to give it a try. Amazon offered same-day delivery (between 2pm and 6pm) and, being a Prime member, I figured it couldn't hurt to try it, particularly with Amazon's decent returns policy.I tried to find out what the “Roconia” brand was – who owns them, where they're headquartered, that sort of thing. All I could find out was that the unit was made in China. I saw at least one review decrying the cheap quality of Chinese goods but, as I said, I figured I could always return the unit if it had serious defects.The deal-clincher for me was a YouTube video! There's a guy who showed the packaged unit, unboxed it, and tried it. He was pleased with it, so I figured I might be, also. And so far, it's a pretty sweet deal.PROS>> Logically designed – can stand it on its rear to point up at a ceiling without additional hardware or holders.>> Comes with a screen sheet (a nice touch).>> Very bright and sharp enough picture for the price.>> Easy to use. Didn't use the manual much.>> Very nice carrying pouch for it. It appears this unit is positioned for businesses not wanting to spend over $300 for an Epson or other top-shelf brand, and the carrying pouch is nice – it zips up completely, covering the unit and any accessories inside (the remote, the power cord).>> Wireless projection options from Android or iOS devices. A very cool thing about the Roconia is that when you select the wireless connection option, all the instructions are projected to the wall for you to make the connection. No fumbling around looking for the quick-start guide. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is, is it possible to change the screen orientation on the Roconia's output image.>> Two HDMI ports and a USB port built in.>> Good sound. I wasn't looking for sound, but it's built in. With Bluetooth, though, you could attach it to an external speaker and have an even better experience.>> Keystoning adjustment is a nice touch. This is a second wheel in addition to the focus which allows you to square the distortion of a projected image, if it's at a slight angle.CONS>> Some might find the fan a bit noisy>> The unit does get a bit warm, so don't cover the vents.SUMMARYWhether this is for home or business use, this is a really great deal for a projector, and one that's full HD, too. Certainly, there's better ones from the likes of Epson and ViewSonic, but not at this price point.

I recently took the plunge and bought this nifty LED projector, to be honest, I'm very pleased with this purchase. The size is just perfect – small enough to fit on my bookshelf without sticking out like a sore thumb. It's whisper-quiet. There's nothing worse than a noisy fan drowning out the best parts of a movie, but this little guy is wonderfully silent while getting the job done. There's also a neat dust cover on the intake, which I did not expect. Furthermore, this little projector was impressively bright, easy to see even during daylight in a very well lit room while projecting a massive image – wow! The remote control is the unsung hero of this package. It's got a handy little button for every function, and I don't even have to get off the couch to use it. Plus, the screen that came bundled with it? Talk about value. It's like they knew I'd be too lazy to paint a wall white.By far the feature that impressed me most was the inclusion of 5G WiFi and wireless streaming to the projector. This makes this purchase a total breeze to use. Unlike previous projectors that I've purchased, I don't have to worry about an additional gadget just to get this task done. I can flick videos from my phone to the projector faster than you can say 'streaming'. No more fumbling with cables for me. And the speakers – they're surprisingly decent! I was expecting to have to hook up an external set, but these built-in ones have held their own. The cherry on top is a fantastic carrying case included in the box. In fact, it's how the projector is shipped. It's padded, divided, and perfectly sized. Several wires are also included in there for a plethora of connecting options, in case they're needed.All in all, I'm pretty stoked with this purchase. It's not just a projector; it's a tiny titan of entertainment that's made movie nights something to look forward to. If you're on the fence about getting one, I say go for it – it's worth every penny.
