2400 lumens also means this is best suited to a dark room or nighttime outdoor viewing

Yes, the room needs to be darker, just like the Anker Capsule

As long as the room is dark as night.

Also, the sound is good enough for a cozy living room, and I like

If you want to use it for teaching or something else where the room will not be completely dark, this is not the right projector

The picture is clear when the room is dark

While it's very easy to use (I use an apple HDMI projector and plug it right into my phone), I discovered that the room must be quite dark for projection, so if you cannot darken the room with curtains, it's a no go.

It is quite good in a dark room, ambient light can wash it out.

Room must be pretty dark to get a solid picture

The picture quality does really well in both bright and dark rooms

, it's pretty much limited to nighttime or quite dark rooms, and the speaker is merely adequate, but honestly for less than $100 is pretty amazing

This unit is potentially useful if you are in a almost dark room, but is handicapped for daytime usage in a bright room.

It's a little dim in brighter rooms, but I like to live in a cave anyways, so it works great for my use case

It's bright enough to watch during the day in a dark room and it's awesome being able to watch TV on a screen the size of the wall

Pair this with a good white screen, a nice sound bar or surround sound system and a dark room for an excellent movie night

The picture doesn’t get as bright as I had hoped, but in a dark room it does the job

The light is bright enough that it shows up well in a reasonably darkened room, and it doesn't seem to get too hot while running.

The video quality was very clear in a dark room

This would work in a very quiet very very dark kids room

Good value for price as long as you have a perfectly dark room, a perfectly flat and white surface and the patience to use the controls on top of the projector

I set it up farther away from the wall (8 feet or so) and played w/ the color brightness/contrast/color etc, and used a dark room, and my friends and i had a nice movie night.

I was worried about the brightness but it works surprisingly well even if you aren't in 100% dark room

It requires a dark room like most projectors but is still clear with some light

In a mostly dark room the picture looks pretty good once you get it focused in

If you watch movie in daylight picture quality is ok you should have dark room for better result.+ve:1

It works best in a dark room, it's sometimes hard to get a clear picture to do work on documents, emails etc

Works best in darker room

I do recommend to use it in a completely dark room just so it can be clearer.

The projector did not put out a quality picture even in a dark room

Don't count on the volume being loud enough for a whole room to hear well, you'd be better off bringing a speaker, but if you're somewhat close, you'll hear just fine.

The projector is very compact so great with portable, take on trips if needed, and use for presentations as long as you are able to use it in a dim lit room.

The room must be completely dark if you are to maximize on the screen colour etc.

Easy to use also, very little set up time and pretty good unless it's a bright room.

This is not a daylight projector, but if it's in a dark room, or late afternoon/night, you can see the images in the projector without an issue

Just make sure to darken the room for great visual aid or movies and movie nights.

Moving into a small NYC apartment, I didn't want to cramp my room with a TV

Oh last thing, for viewing quality limit environmental light saturation (completely dark room, works best)

Dark rooms will be a benefit as will an auxiliary speaker

We were trying to use it for a trivia night in a semi-dark room, but it was not bright enough for that purpose

This is an overall great projector,The picture is a little bit dim, so you have to have a fairly dark room for it to work well but for the size, price, and convenience it is an overall wonderful product

We mostly use it at night so both brightness and resolution seem to be pretty good in a dark room

Dark rooms will be a benefit as will an auxiliary speaker

Too dim for anything other than a dark room or after dark outside.

Was even ok in an only mostly dark room (definitely better when it was all the way dark)

The darker the room the

This project works well in a dark room so the tripod mount and speakers will make this projector an excellent addition to a game room we have

Pros:-Picture quality is nice-Brightness is fine in a dark room (see photos for dark room vs. bright

It needs a dark room that’s where it really shines

very, very low light -- we could not see the presentation, even when we completely darkened the room

and I was able to get a clear picture even while watching in a pretty bright room

I really do recommend this projector if you are a budget, the projector quality is very good, but you do need to be in a pretty dark room

Good for a dark room if you have another sound source, otherwise this is a low end unit.

This would work in a very quiet very very dark kids room

From my experience it does need to be a fairly dark room for the picture to show up well

This unit is potentially useful if you are in a almost dark room, but is handicapped for daytime usage in a bright room.

The brightness is good enough even in semi dark room

I didn't have a dark room to try it out

Kinda hard to tell from my video because shooting a video of projected image in a dark room is tricky but the image was big and clear - but it is definitely best to use this thing in a dark room for best effect

Picture quality will be best in darker rooms..

You definitely need to be in a dark room to see the picture very well, and even then it's not like some HD image.

This projector is very good for a dark room.

While it's very easy to use (I use an apple HDMI projector and plug it right into my phone), I discovered that the room must be quite dark for projection, so if you cannot darken the room with curtains, it's a no go.

It’s great in darker rooms

The brightness definitely requires a dark room or nighttime use, though pitch black is not necessary

Projector is best used in a very dark room due to the brightness/low lumens.

It has turned my apartment living room into a movie room and I love it

I wish it had more lumens but you need a dark room

As long as the sun is down or the room is dark we are enjoying films and shows on “ the big screen”

One minor problem is that the brightness isn't the best as it is somewhat hard to see unless you are in a dark room

The projector could not handle a bright room like more expensive models

Good image in dark room, for small groups4

So, if you have a good viewing room with 9' between you and wall dead center.....I highly recommend this product

It is more well-suited for home-theater purposes, where you would be in a totally dark room

Con: need a completely dark room to optimize image, fan can get a bit loud after a while

If you plan on using it in a photo level dark room, you should be ok.

But you really need a dark room, as any light will show the shortcomings of the projector

My only complaint is that if you're trying to watch it in a room with any light peeping through then you can't see the screen but if you're in a dark room then it's great!

The image is sharp but not extremely bright; it is best in a dark room (but that is how you should be watching

The brightness needs the room to be dark not pitch black but the darker, the better

Because the projector isn't incredibly bright, the overall room remained dark, which helped create a nice contrast between the illusions and the white screen (also easier to hide in a bush!)

It has the capability of displaying a decent picture, in a bright room, without an issue

Good for movies in pretty dark room

In a darkened room, it looks great.

Definitely good for the price the picture is amazing for a dark room and outdoors at night sound is perfect for all movies

I made a little mini movie room and with a dark room it shows a great picture.

It does work in a lighted room but is a lot better in a dark room.

Great quality Image, with a dark room you can enjoy a great movie.

Not very bright, but if you can darken the room sufficiently it looks just fine

While the picture quality is certainly good enough to enjoy most movies and TV shows, it certainly must be watched in a dark room without any light peeping in

The fan is audible in a quiet room but isn't particularly loud or annoying

You have to be in an almost completely dark room to really enjoy what you are watching

It also performs poor during day - you need a dark room

Needs to be in a dark room but puts a good image out

if you want it for power point, just make sure the room is not too bright

You will also need a pretty dark room to keep the picture from being washed out

It's best in a dark room, which is how I use it (watching movies/tv at night before bed), so I've been perfectly happy with it, just don't expect to use it in the middle of the day in a brightly lit room and have the same experience

The room has to be black to see it and even then, it's not good.

so if your room is very bright / gets a lot of daylight this might not be

The brightness needs the room to be dark...not pitch black but the darker the better

Just make sure the room is dark enough.

I then looked at the video, in a semi-bright room, and was not happy.

You really need to be in quite a dark room to have it be effective on anything but a dedicated reflecting screen.

It's best in a dark room but does ok with some light in the room

If the room is only slightly dark, it will still display well but best if in the dark

I wouldn’t recommend rooms with too much light.

Pros: light weight and small size, easy to use, decent image in a completely dark room

It’s budget friendly and works well when in a dark room.

It's not as bright as a more expensive projector you might use for a professional presentation for work, but for at home use in a very dark room, it's decent.

This little projector will fill a dark room with a sharp picture and much more sound than one would expect from a small package.

Picture very faint even in a dark room
