Review on πŸŽ₯ ViewSonic M1 Portable Projector: Dual Harman Kardon Speakers, HDMI, USB Type C, Auto Keystone, Built-in Battery | Stream Netflix with Dongle by Chris Cruz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Stylish portable projector with great sound. Great for families!

We bought this projector for kids movie nights in the backyard and camping trips. We looked at cheaper gadget projectors, but after more research we narrowed our choices down to the Nebula Capsule and M1. Both Nebula and M1 are based on branded DLP technology, WVGA resolution (480p) and sleek form factor, but the M1 was brighter at 250 ANSI lumens than the Nebula at 100 ANSI lumens and under $100. Wi-Fi would be nice, but it's of little use if you're out of range. In general, the resolution and brightness are sufficient for watching movies on the go. Best in dark rooms or at night. If you want full 1080p resolution at higher lumens, you'll have to pay more for a home theater projector, which it's not designed for. The M1 comes with two 3w Harman Kardon speakers which sound fantastic - the sound quality is very impressive! We play YouTube and Netflix on a Samhain Galaxy S8 connected via USB-C. I think the smartest thing is the design of the product - the lens cap works like a stand so you can set it at different angles e.g. B. to project an image onto the ceiling (sounds stupid). but our kids love it!). Add photo/video to share picture and sound quality.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.
