Firmware bugs, problems with bluetooth, screen resolution not so good!

I liked this mini projector because it has a stylish design and it's very easy to project indoors and outdoors without extra cables or extra devices for internet/wifi connection. just one box does all the magic! - that was my thought and ended with the purchase of Luma450! In fact, however, some basic functions are missing, such as B. the ability to update the firmware without errors or to pair the remote control with the projector. After opening the box, I spent about 10 minutes setting up the Bluetooth pairing. This was not an easy install as described in the instructions. After installation, the system offered to update the firmware, clicked on the installed link and waited about 30 minutes. Nothing happened and finally I got a message about an incompatible version. I clicked Factory Reset and didn't install the firmware update. I have to try multiple times to connect my remote to the projector and it often disconnects when I switch source input (HDMI, USB). The screen resolution looks good for small rooms, and I didn't notice much of a difference when streaming 8UHD movies. I zoomed out from 100% to 75% for crisp images. Keystone and other autocorrects sometimes work well. I expected more from Kodak and was disappointed with this product in this price range. other Android apps without accessories. My son loves this. But it's too expensive for the features it offers. I would give 2 stars.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No power
