RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! SHOCK PROJECTOR!

EDIT: I set up the projector and something on the back shook me to death. This is impossible and the projector seems dangerous. Don't be frightened by modern electronic devices, no current should flow out of the projector! Be very careful when there are small children around when using the projector! Edit 2: I narrowed it down and noticed that there is a significant electrical current coming out of the HDMI port. Touching the connector on the back will give you an electric shock, touching the end of the HDMI cable that connects to the projector will also give you an electric shock. Here, too, the electrical current must not leave the projector. , and DEFINITELY not enough current to shock the current that should be flowing through the HDMI connector itself. It can damage anything you connect it to. ------------ The picture itself is good, the price is very low. The processing quality is quite decent. It's a lot brighter than I expected. The speaker is loud and clear. Now we come to the biggest problem with it: the refresh rate is very slow. I'm trying to get confirmation as to what it is, but my guess is it's 15Hz, maybe 30Hz. Whatever it ends up being, it's low enough that it's connecting a PC or console to play makes you extremely nervous or delayed. Latency is the second biggest issue, but it can be dealt with compared to the dismal refresh rate. This is probably normal for movies, but for anyone used to 60+ fps on a TV/monitor at 60/120/144Hz or higher when gaming, I find it very difficult to get used to the low refresh rate that this projector delivers. I was hoping it would suit my needs but I don't think it will work. 1080p at 60Hz was too much to hope for, especially at this price point. I don't think this thing was designed for gaming and as just a movie projector it probably costs money and then some.

Pros
  • Dedicated speaker
Cons
  • There are nuances
