APEMAN M4 Mini Portable Projector, Video DLP Pocket Projector for Home and Outdoor Entertainment, Support 1080P HDMI Input Built-in Rechargeable Battery Stereo Speakers with Upgraded 360° Tripod

One of my fellow IT friends was showing off his new projector at work (this exact model), and it immediately became the new gadget that I didn't technically need, but could suddenly think of a bajillion really cool uses for. I could do backyard movie nights with friends! I would be able to watch YouTube videos -- really big -- anywhere (which would be fun for kitten videos, but particularly useful for all the DIY videos that seem futile trying to watch on a phone). I could use it in my rec room setup to play retro video games. I could lazily lay back and watch Netflix on my ceiling. The list goes on.When it arrived, as I was inspecting the contents of the box, I was very impressed with the packaging, the organization of all the accessories, and the overall "sleekness" of the box. Normally I don't care about such things, so long as the product works. That being said, I do notice the small touches. The projector was packaged very professionally, with all the accessories I needed out of the box, and a useful manual to boot! I know I ordered it for me, but it struck me as very gift-worthy had I not.The other thing that I noticed, even before I turned it on, is that all the accessories that you need to connect it to something with an HDMI output, such as a Roku, laptop, Blue Ray player, etc. were included. (This meant no rummaging through drawers to look for charging or HDMI cables!) There was even a handy mount! There are some applications that the HDMI cable might not be long enough for, but for most connecting to a laptop, it was perfect.I tried it out initially hooking it up to my laptop in my spare bedroom, just to play with the settings. I tried this during normal daylight, and was impressed that I could see a clear picture even during the day. (I tried it later in the evening, and discovered the picture absolutely dazzles at night.) There was a dial to focus the picture, and buttons to control the sound. Though this may sound a bit on the minimalist side, I think it is a credit to the genuinely plug-and-play design. I know there are a few schools of thought on this one, because I know some people prefer devices that have their own operating systems and more on-board settings that allow finer adjustments from the device itself. Personally, even though as an IT person I'm supposed to be more of a gadget geek, I appreciate devices like this projector that are truly plug-and-play, and can be operated by anyone in the house, without having to be familiarized to the different features. Later, I dropped the projector and my daughter to my Mom's house for a sleepover, and she was equally impressed with the ease of use. Literally, the only setup required is hooking up the HDMI cable and turning it on, making it an ideal device for even the non-tech savvy.I will say that the on-board sound may not be loud enough for some applications, but there is an audio output that can easily connect to a soundbar or extrenal speakers (or headphones), as well as a USB out and cable for charging may sound devices. For me this isn't an issue, as I use the device in rooms it's well-suited to. If I were using it outdoors, I would probably attach it to some external speakers for extra ooomph. Also, the only video input is the HDMI or MHL, so out of the box, it is ready to use with any device that has an HDMI output, or MHL output with the cord. If you would like to connect it to your phone, or your old-school gaming system, there are many readily available, inexpensive HDMI-to-whatever cables and converters out there. It would be ideal if there were a few more inputs, particularly a USB input, but I am fine working off of the HDMI input.Overall, I feel like this was a solid buy. The projector's picture is impressive, and it's portability and versatility make it a home run.

To be honest, I did not think such a tiny projector could offer almost as good pictures as my big full size BenQ one. I bought it for the portability, and now am thinking I could totally just use this one instead of the big one. It's very light weight, and the tripod it comes with is very sturdy. Super easy to setup, just charge the projector before using it, connect it with your laptop/phone/dvr/whatever devices you want to project, center it towards your screen, turn it on and set the focus. That's it. It even comes with a mini hdmi converter, so if your phone has a hdmi port, you can project thru your phone directly. The manual says if you use an iPhone, you need some special cable. I'm not an Apple user, cannot provide any feedback about that. I'm in love with this little cutie now!

First to start off I love the sleek and stylish design! The size of the projector makes it very easy to carry around and I can have it setup anywhere that I like whether it’s at work, a family gathering or a friends place the portability is just so convenient! I’ve gotten so much compliments from friends and family, they could not believe how projectors have changed from such a robust shape to this elegant design. I did fear that I would be trading in convenience for quality, however the picture quality is excellent! In my opinion better if not the same as a standard industrial projector. There are built-in speakers which is a plus but I would recommend having the audio plugged into an external source via auxiliary cable. For the past few weeks that I’ve had it I’ve ran into no issues, projector has worked fine with my Apple TV, PS4, and laptop with no stutters, no hiccups, no connectivity issues whatsoever. This projector has made my experience with gaming, movie nights, and even just browsing the web even better! I would definitely recommend a household have at least one these, I absolutely love it!

Have had experience with classical size projectors and decided to give this mini projector a try based on its convenient size. This mini projector is small, almost the size of my husband’s palm, but produces a quality picture and sound. It came with several accessories including a power supply, a USB to Type C cord, an HDMI cable, an HDMI to mini HDMI converter, and a portable tripod. Cables are good quality but I hoped they were a little longer. It’s difficult to use the projector while charging as the USB type C cord is short. The mini projector charged fairly fast and it last at least two hours. This projector did not come with a lightning cable to connect to an Apple device so I had to connect it with my iPad using my own Apple lightning cable. Pictures are sharp and color contrast is good on my dark green wall. I also like the built in speaker as it offers a clear sound. The tripod that came with the projector is quite small and light, easy to carry, and supports the projector with the ability to easily adjust its angles. Recommend to get the bigger tripod if you plan to leave the projector standing in a room. All over, this mini projector is a well made product, in a reasonable price range and it is a suitable device to bring on a road trip or camping.

Wow, finally a lightweight & compact projector I can bring with me anywhere! it arrived very quickly and was packaged perfectly! Came in a hard shell cardboard package. It has DLP technology as well as an HDMI port. They have kindly included a 360 Tripod.Will be bringing with me for this year's camping season (hopefully) I have tested it with both on a white wall and a projector screen, the picture looks crisp & clear 1080P. Takes very little room no big tv in the way taking up valuable space. You'll be amazed at all small this pocket projector is then once you turn it on, you'll understand why this product has many good reviews it's a premium product right from unpacking to set up very easy lots of useful settings, picture quality A++I have been enjoying using this product and glad k decided to go with it. It comes with everything needed to enjoy a night at home with the girlfriend beats going out during the times in our world right now. Buy one you deserve it!××Edit××Been a month + since I got this projector, I have had zero issues with it. I have uploaded some pictures for you to see how detailed the pictures are. Of course, in person they would be even better than seen here.The size of this projector is a huge difference than other projectors I've seen you can take it practically anywhere with you meaning camping trips, friend's house even in a backpack takes up no room at all!Even with the small size it's able to keep it self cool and not over heat.Don't cheap out on projectors better to buy a good quality right from the start like this one. You won't be disappointed!

I've been using this projector on the roof of my bedroom, and it's fantastic. My kids find it hilarious how we can watch TV on our ceiling while lying on our bed. I hooked up my google chromecast to the device, and stream my videos to it perfectly. The picture quality is clear, not as clear as my LCD TV, but still very good considering the size of the device. It only works well in dark rooms, which is expected for any projector.The battery life is excellent, I was able to watch for 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours before the device shut off on battery alone. The volume is okay. I hooked it up to some external speakers and it was a much more pleasant experience. It's great being able to have a portable projector to bring anywhere I go. Can't wait to play video games on my ceiling

I am redoing my review from my previous one. Short story was that my audio was very poor and I was outside of my possibilities to return with Amazon. I contacted Apeman and there support team (Darcy) was great. Once we determined that the unit was defective on the audio side they arranged to get me a new unit. It was very fast after the initial email.Now this unit was purchase for my trailer and I wanted to be able to run it without any power feeding it all the time. It does this perfect. I am even able to have my chromecast pluged into the unit and have it powered for a movie. I would recomend this for someone that is looking for a small self powered unit or even plugged in unite with good picture up to about 100"The only two things i would like to see is allowing the user to invert the unit (put it upside down) and have some controls on picture. That said for the price it was great to be able to get a DLP projector really portable.

I really like this mini projector! I finally have a home theater! The lighting is very clear and the sound is very good. This weekend I called my friend to watch a movie in my room by using this projector. They said that it is cool! They also want to buy this one.

i should have read reviews a little betterBut will add that keystone correction is really neededability to invert image would have been a good workaround for me, BUT doesn't do itAudio is worse than i had thought, but i had always intended to hook it to a portable speaker.but picture is more than adequate to watch Netflix and prime while at cabin, we only used a large sheet of paper and video quality was good, now have a real screen to try.
