Review on Upgraded 1080P Supported Outdoor Projector - AuKing 2021 - HDMI, USB, Laptop, iOS & Android Compatible by Michael Lara

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good budget projector for backyard movie nights and travel

I have previously purchased a 2020 auking projector which continues to work well. This projector was used on my outdoor screen and I even packed it for a few hotel trips. With COVID still going strong this projector was a godsend as it allowed me to recreate some of the cinematic experience at home. However, there were a couple of small issues: 1. I struggled to fit it and the speaker I'm using (Anker 2 Soundcore Flash paired with my Firestick) in the same case, 2. when I was watching a movie behind my backyard, one at headlights raised from our back door blur the image. While none of these issues are a big deal for the price of a double cinema trip (tickets, popcorn, drinks, etc.), I decided to try the updated 2021 model. I am impressed. Not only is the new model smaller, but it also comes with a lens cap, which alleviates my concerns about traveling with a projector. The image is also significantly brighter, allowing me to keep the headlight on, making my trips inside (eating or going to the bathroom) a little easier and safer. It also allows me to start movie night a little earlier. While I wasn't expecting a noticeable increase in resolution, my dad and I did notice slightly better image fidelity compared to the previous model, and text on the screen is easier to read. As with my review of the previous model, if you're looking for a high-quality HD projector for a full home theater experience, and you have the budget, then this projector isn't for you. If you're looking for an affordable outdoor movie night projector or a camping/travel projector that won't weep over damage, loss or theft, do yourself a favor and check out this refurbished projector. I am planning to convert my previous AtmosFX projection purchase over the holidays and use the new projector for our family movie nights.
