I haven't noticed the fan noise at all

An outside pocket is provided for cable storage.-An SD cardslot is located on the side of the projector- didn’t try it, but I assume it’s mainly for photos not video.-Standard VGA port on the back of the projector for PC input.-A standard HDMI cable is provided by the manufacturer.-Cooling fan noise is not objectionable once you start playing anything with an audio track

The fan noise is not too bad.

so I cannot compare the fan noise to that of other

(Don’t mistake some ambient light for full daylight as they are not the same).
