Review on Magnavox Projector Bluetooth Technology Compatible by David Jones

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good quality budget projector with some nice extras

We chose this projector to use with our outdoor screen for movie nights with friends. As long as you know what you're getting, this is a great little projector. This isn't a state-of-the-art projector for your media room. It has a decent lightbulb, but you'll have to wait until it's dark to get the best picture. We tried to use it just as the sun was setting behind the mountains and the picture was blurry almost to the point of invisibility. Another half hour passed before the picture really began to appear, and it was only in total twilight that we could see everything clearly. If you watch TV in a darkened room, you get a cinema-quality picture; Otherwise, get ready to blink a lot. The speakers are pretty useless too, but that's not uncommon these days when even high-end TVs require a separate speaker system. Okay, let's get to the good stuff. Magnavox created a nifty case for this thing that almost solves the last problem I listed above. The built-in speakers are of decent quality for their 10W output. I went back to my capsule speakers after testing, but I wouldn't mind using them throughout the film. They also have a rechargeable battery, but since the projector requires a cable, I'm not sure what the point is. Best of all, the case survived my fall right out of the box, leaving nothing but a small crack and working perfectly. All the controls were easy to grasp without touching the manual (which is good since I left it inside). The remote is quick when you're at the right angle, but the body blocks the sensor most of the time. Buy it as is and you will be very satisfied with what you get.
