Review on Ortizan Mini Projector - Full Portable Movie Projector for Excellent Image Quality by Chris Peck

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fun for watching movies but not ideal for home theater

I tried this projector out on a new moon few weeks ago on the darkest nights at a friend's cabin in the Colorado mountains for our outdoor film. The projector worked great for an outdoor movie night! However, after my trip I returned home to compare it to an indoor movie night and found that it didn't perform well indoors due to the reflective ambient light. I've also noticed some drop in quality and color as it doesn't have a high resolution unlike our 65-inch 4K TV which delivers better white and black contrast and more black and black. Be sure to read the description before purchasing. I picked this one because it was cheap. I might consider buying a more expensive projector with more features soon, e.g. B. the ability to scale the dimensions to the throw distance you want to stay at. Pro: Fun for a movie night outdoors or if you have a dark room. Cons: Non-native 1080p. After seeing this projector firsthand. I wouldn't recommend it for your first home theater experience. In my opinion, I'd recommend investing in your own 1080p projector on a budget of around $200-$800 (depending on the budget you're willing to spend) for a decent 1080p projector. If you're willing to spend more, I'd recommend investing at least $1000-$4000 in a 4k projector for better performance that can run in a well-lit room during the day when you're spending that much . All in all, this $60 projector isn't bad for a movie night. However, in my personal experience, you can connect an external speaker to your computer because the built-in speaker doesn't play as loud as a regular speaker.

Pros
