Review on KODAK Luma 450 Portable Full HD Smart Projector with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, HDMI & USB Compatible, Mini Home Theater System Up to 150”, 1080p Native Resolution (4K), 200 Lumens, Tripod Included by Travis Garron

An absolute nightmare.

You are at the mercy of a mobile app that is difficult to connect to... The remote control does not wear out when connected to a Bluetooth speaker. The mobile remote control will be disabled if you open another app on your iPhone. The remote doesn't work on the remote, it only works on the iPhone app, which sucks. The brightness is so dim that I can barely see the screen at night with the kitchen lights on. For $500 or more, it should be buttery smooth, autofocus capable, and hiccup-free. I'm more worried about this Kodak. as i enjoy the movie. Also, does the toy know that Hulu, Disney+, HBO max, and all other streaming services have BANNED projectors to stream their content? Yeah, you can't watch shit on these devices except your iPhoto and Netflix content. So don't get your hopes up, wait for the Apple TV to come with a built in projector because it's bullshit and the technology isn't there yet. My advice to developers: 1: Automatically connect to the phone. Thing is I have to keep trying to reconnect to the projector, it's annoying, why even bring a remote when it's complete junk and doesn't work with Netflix? 2: Auto focus setting. Set the focus...if $299 projectors can do that, why the heck can't you? 3: Make better brightness and sound. My $200 JBL speaker sounds like a 1990 hearing aid. The volume is no louder than a woman crying.
