TMY Mini Projector, Upgraded Bluetooth Projector with Screen, 1080P Full HD Portable Projector, Movie Projector Compatible with TV Stick Smartphone/HDMI/USB, indoor & outdoor use

I've been wanting a projector for outdoor movie nights and casual indoor viewing for ages, but the prices of high-end models always scared me away. After doing some research, I decided to take a chance on the TMY mini projector, and I am absolutely thrilled! This little powerhouse has exceeded all my expectations for its incredibly affordable price.Setting it up was a breeze. Straight out of the box, I had it connected to my streaming stick via HDMI and projecting onto the included screen within minutes. The picture quality, especially in a dark environment, is shockingly good. For a projector in this price range, the 1080P support delivers a clear, vibrant image that's perfect for watching movies, sports, or even playing casual video games. We've used it on a 100-inch screen, and the image fills the space beautifully.The portability is a huge plus. It's so compact and lightweight that I can easily move it from the living room to the backyard without any fuss. The built-in speaker is decent for casual listening, but I connect it to a Bluetooth speaker for a truly immersive cinematic experience, which is simple to do.Of course, it's not a $1000 projector, and it won't perform miracles in a brightly lit room – you really need a dark setting to appreciate its full potential. But if you're looking for an ultra-affordable, easy-to-use mini projector for fun movie nights, camping trips, or even just as a secondary display, the TMY is an absolute gem. It's brought so much joy and entertainment to my home, and I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Truly a 5-star experience for the value!

I bought this projector in a pinch and it has honestly been one of my better purchases. The video quality is beautiful, as well as the sound. Everything is seamless and I love how compact it is. I would definitely recommend buying.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The projector works well. The sound is consistent and clear. The screen is tiny and transparent. It is a sheer mesh. So it doesn't cover anything or provide a solod backdrop. We ended up just displaying against the siding and it was fine.

The value for the money you're spending on this projector make it very difficult to criticize. Easily connects to a Bluetooth speaker, the remote is responsive, clarity is as expected, and brightness is surprisingly good. The fan isn't too loud in my opinion, but others seem to think so. At this price point, I am pleasantly surprised with the performance of this projector and would recommend it to anyone looking for a solid quality projector for a budget price.

This projector has been working very well for me. It was very simple to set up and easy to connect any device to. The images are also very defined and not blurry. It is also very light and easy to move around wherever you want to put it. Would def recommend.

The old 8 MM movie projectors with 25 to 50 watt halogen lamps gave a tolerable image on a silver screen about five feet wide. We got used to it, as 16 MM film was expensive for home use.For a toy home VIDEO projector this one is OK and significantly better than an 8 MM film projector in a number of ways, but there is a problem with the brightness of the output as described.This explanation may get a little geeky, but in the end you will see why the ratings given to projectors are useless. The consumer is led to believe that the brightness of a projector output is rated by a standard measure of "lumens." There is some deception in that. A real "lumen," as described in my ancient high school physics book is "The amount of visible light flux which falling normally on one square foot of area will produce an illuminance of one foot-candle." Translated, light a common candle made of whale fat, hold a sheet of paper that is one foot in height and one foot in width exactly one foot away from that candle, and the light falling on the paper is (Ta-Da!) a foot-candle and a lumen. Two candles - twice as much light. Simple.Look at the box a light bulb comes in. Somewhere on it will be a lumen rating. As an easy example, an old 60 watt screw-in incandescent light bulb puts out about 600 lumens. So since this projector claims to have 7500 lumens it should be super-bright, right? It is in fact no where near capable of outputting that many lumens.I mentioned that I had purchased three video projectors. My main one is a solid BenQ projector with a halogen lamp similar to one you might see used in an art gallery to illuminate a painting. That projector has a rated output of 3,000 lumens. It projects onto my 14' diagonal screen with a brightness that is easily equal to what I was used to in movie theatres. I have been more than satisfied with its performance.My second projector purchase was a little Crenova I bought to play around with. It is an LED projector (meaning the light bulb in it is a long lasting and forgiving LED) and has a rating of 1200 lumens. I would put that rating as inflated, but would not be surprised if it in fact put out 800 real ANSI lumens. I knew it wasn't going to be great shakes.Now we come to the projector in this review. It is rated at 7500 lumens. To compare the three projectors, I just now projected the same movie from the same source onto my 14' diagonal screen, using each of the three projectors. The BenQ, at 3,000 lumens filled the entire screen with gorgeous brilliant images, even with ambient light.The little Crenova, at 1200 lumens made a barely acceptable image on about half the screen (8' diagonal)This TMY projector, brand new, put out an image that was about twice as bright as the Crenova, but less than a third the brightness of the BenQ with a six year old halogen lamp in it.So what is going on? The definition of "lumen" is the problem. The BenQ, I suspect, used the original definition of lumen in an honest measurement environment. The little LED projectors use a different lumen called an "ANSI lumen." The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) decreed a different lumen measurement to be used in evaluating projectors. Unfortunately, rather than calling the new measurement "SquintHard" or something other than lumen, they co-opted the name, and stuck an "ANSI" in front of it. Carton designers have no reason to know a lumen is different than an ANSI lumen, and "lumen" gets stuck on the box and in advertising today.So what is an ANSI lumen? - apparently whatever you want. Supposedly it is the noticeable difference between a 100% white, a 95% white, and a 90% white that a projector puts on a screen in nine different locations, where the differences are just noticeable, with the screen size taken into account via a formula. Try to get the actual IT7.215 ANSI spec sheet and you run into a paywall. Gee, how consumer friendly...I can't say that a 7500 (ANSI) lumen rating is a lie, but I can say that some people in product testing are troglodytes, eat lots of carrots and can see in the dark, while most of us slog along as average folks with developing cataracts and other issues.Bottom line - do NOT believe the ANSI lumen ratings of any of the LED projectors as a meaningful method of comparison. My BenQ projector uses almost 300 watts in operation, with the bulk of that going to power the lamp and cooling. If you want light out, you have to put power in. If you want bright, understand that you may need to trade off and accept some bulk and heat. OTOH, if you want an inexpensive toy for kids or to use on a back porch while you swat madly at mosquitoes until giving up and going inside, the LED projectors may work for you.
