Great projector. It's worth it compared to cheap low-end devices.

Before settling on the Yaber Y31 model, I compared four other projectors (including the Yaber Y30) for around $50 to this unit, which is just over $240 for one Flash sale cost. After seeing the difference between the two, I decided it was worth the money in terms of long-term satisfaction with a good, sharp, crisp picture at native 1080p resolution and the highest possible brightness and contrast ratio. Sure you can spend a few thousand and get performance very close to that of a flat screen TV, but for a lot less I'm very happy with the performance of this projector. A hike was particularly nice, as you can see in the photos. We were blown away by the realistic view of Sandra Bullock and George Clooney floating in space on a 10ft screen in Gravity in the beautiful Colorado desert. Since it was quite chilly at night, we drove the car behind the projector onto a tripod-mountable shelf, connected a Bluetooth transmitter to the audio output, and installed a Bluetooth speaker in the SUV, so we built a homemade car had theatre. while it stays warm in the car! We used a 300w/500wh battery inverter generator for power and I tested the run time and got about 3.5 hours on a single charge (with a solar panel next day). ). So with numbers of watt hours and 3.5 hours. Working hours, I did the math. This Yaber wattage is around 120-125W. I've seen a question pop up repeatedly on various projector listing sites asking for the wattage, perhaps for this very reason: how long will my projector run on one battery generator? So it would be very helpful if more of these companies provided these stats on the sales page (and in the user manual) to help calculate a model that would meet the needs of long-distance catering such as camping. I will contact Yaber and suggest adding this information. I put the 1 star remote on because Yaber went from Y30 to Y31. The remote control of the 30's had dedicated buttons for the functions ff, rw, next and go back, but on the 31 these functions require navigating the on-screen menu bar and pressing OK. Why should the latest model be less user-friendly than its predecessor? So, IMO, take a step back.
