Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great projector with lots of inputs

I have used many projectors in my professional life. Now I'm retired and need a projector that we can use for movie nights in the backyard. The holiday projector I already had wasn't up to the task. I tried another projector with good picture quality and brightness but the sound wasn't strong enough to drown out the cicadas in our garden. Its audio didn't work properly so we returned it and bought this one. The first thing that struck me about the Mooka Q6 is the build quality. This is a great projector for home use. With 1080p resolution and 8,500 lumens of brightness, it's bright and sharp enough for our late-night movie nights. Если вы ищете что-то, что будет соответствовать проекторам высокого класса, которые могут конкурировать с проекторами стоимостью более тысячи долларов, используемыми в залах заседаний, классах и лекционных залах, вы, вероятно, не найдете его по этой цене, но этот подходит достаточно близко to me. Connectivity is excellent. Connections include 2 HDMI ports for connecting to most modern computers, Rokus, Firesticks and Blu-ray players, AV for older hardware, VGA for some older computers, an audio-out jack for connecting powered speakers and amplifiers, and 2 USB Connections . and a mini SD card slot (they are called "TF", I don't know why) connected to the built-in player that supports several popular file types. If that's not enough, there's also a blue tooth in case you need a wireless speaker or wireless headphone connection. I should mention that the USB stick has a 32GB limit on the size of the USB stick. Several other projectors I looked at had the same limitation. My 64GB USB drive just wasn't recognized. The USB standard of the Mooka Q6 is 2.0. USB 3.0 and 3.1 are still recognized, but there is no speed increase. USB 2.0 is fast enough even for HD movies. You can save some money by buying USB 2.0 drives. The inputs also include a screen mirroring feature that allows you to wirelessly connect to your iPhone or Android phone as a source. I should mention that the setup is a bit confusing. It's still a pretty cool feature. Do not confuse this feature with the ability to rotate the image for rear projection. I've seen both features called "Mirroring". Flour calls it "Turn" to avoid confusion. I should mention that this projector has optical keystone correction. Some projectors I've used have a digital keystone setting. Digital adjustments give a sharper image in my opinion, but that comes at a cost. Digital settings can be too complex for the average consumer to set up properly. Keystone distortion occurs when the projector is above or below the dead center of the screen and the image becomes trapezoidal instead of rectangular. The Q6's visual adjustment works flawlessly to straighten it out. Volume is surprisingly good for such a small projector. You may have to fiddle with the audio settings in the menu before hitting the right combination. There is a "movie mode" that I like for the sound. In addition, the audio output and Bluetooth work flawlessly on this projector. You can use an external speaker of your choice. Bluetooth only works on one device at a time, and the internal speaker is disabled when Bluetooth is on. I have a trick I use for the sound. I bought a wireless FM transmitter for less than $10 that allows me to use the FM radio to receive sound from the projector. This way I can have multiple speakers in the viewing area, each with their own volume control. An FM transmitter is typically used to transmit audio to a car stereo, but it's great for this application. Transmitters are available at chain stores that are known to sell items for $5 or less. They are usually powered from a car outlet, but the one I use can also run on 2 AAA batteries. Interesting built-in AV player. Its menus are a bit slow and takes some getting used to, but this projector gives you controls that I haven't seen on any of the other home projectors I've tried. You can move forwards and backwards through the film at up to 16x speed. This is a great feature when you need to watch halfway through a movie. Another unique feature is digital zoom, which allows you to reduce image size by 25% if you need to position the projector a little further from the screen. You need both the remote control and the buttons on the projector to access all functions. On the other hand, you need to provide 2 AAA batteries for the remote control. The projector comes with an AV cable for legacy equipment (e.g. an old VCR or DVD player) and an HDMI cable. Rear projection mode was hard to find. As already mentioned, Muka calls this "turn". The rear projection setting reverses the image, allowing the projector to be placed behind the screen, while other settings allow the projector to be hung upside down for front-to-rear projection situations. There is a tripod mount on the bottom of the projector. It also allows you to mount the projector upside down on the ceiling or on a tripod or other stand using a suitable mounting bracket to keep the projector stable. Like many other models, the Mooka Q6 comes with a handy carrying case. The printed instructions and menu system can be difficult to understand, but their tech support is excellent. You can contact them via phone, online chat or email. The variety of inputs is perhaps one of the best of any video projector I've seen. For the money, I find the Mooka Q6 projector to be a bargain for home use and highly recommend it.
