Let me start by saying this little green machine has completely transformed my movie nights. The 500 ANSI lumens brightness is no joke – I tested it in my moderately lit living room, and the image stayed crisp and vibrant. No squinting or closing curtains required!

The built-in Google TV is an absolute dream. I was binge-watching The Mandalorian on Disney+ within minutes of unboxing – no extra dongles or setup headaches. The interface is snappy thanks to that 2GB RAM, though heavy app hoarders might want to manage that 16GB storage.

That autofocus magic works exactly as advertised. When my cat knocked it over (classic), the image corrected itself before I could even reach for the remote. The keystone adjustment is equally impressive – no more trapezoid nightmares when placing it off-center.

Audio surprised me most. Those dual 10W speakers pump out shockingly rich sound – the Dolby Audio makes dialogue crystal clear while explosions in action movies actually rumbled my coffee table. Though audiophiles will still want to connect external speakers via Bluetooth (which pairs effortlessly).

Now for the quirks: That HDMI port placement is awkward if you're using bulky sticks like Fire TV. My workaround? A cheap right-angle adapter that made everything fit neatly. Also, while the Kids Mode is great for parents, switching back requires a PIN – I learned this after being locked out of my own projector for 10 minutes!

After two weeks of daily use (including an impromptu backyard screening that drew neighbor compliments), this has become my favorite tech purchase this year. It's not just a projector – it's an all-in-one entertainment hub that disappears into any space when not in use.
