TLDR: great if you want an all-in-one projector that fairly portable; at a refurbished price under $400, it's hard to beat for a portable/travel projectorBackground: I own 3 different types of portable projectors including this one--the other two are a pico projector that can fit in your pocket and a bright portable projector that does not have a battery and is probably more similar to a home theatre projector than the pico projector. I also own two home theatre projectors. All 5 of these projector are very mid-range--3 of them are 1080p projectors while the other 2 are 720p. I am no videophile, so I care more about enjoying the content over the picture being perfect.Who this is for and where it shines: someone who wants to have a portable smart TV for a reasonable price and has a space that does not have a lot of ambient lightPros: has Google TV built in and has a pretty robust speaker for it's size; has a built-in battery; between the size of a pint and a quart of ice creamCons: my biggest wish for this projector is that it was brighter; it's not particularly dim, but it is less bright than it's predecessor, the Mars II; the Google TV lags, but it's nice that you don't have to bring a streaming stick or box, if you don't want toHow I've used it: I've watched several movies and shows from streaming services on the built-in Google TV, and I've connected a Nintendo Switch, and that worked wellOverall: for a portable projector around $400, I don't think anything beats it; I wish it was brighter, but overall I am very satisfied with this projector, and it's probably my favorite projector

It’s great picture but it’s dim. with an ounce of light In the evening from an ambient light source, it’s hard to not focus on the low brightness of it and it’s shortcomings. Good for no-light environments but if you left a lamp on nearby, the projector brightness isn’t strong enough to overpower glare and light reflections that might show on your screen. Go for a projector with at least 1000 ANSI Lumens

I have used this indoors with moderate light to watch a second football game... but it really shines at night outside. I love to watch Football or Movies at the night with the firepit going. I usually connect it to my outdoor speakers to extend the comfortable listening range, even though the speakers are solid.The Google operating system connected to my apps very quickly and I enjoy just using the projector without having to cast from my phone.

This projector delivers great image quality, even during darker scenes. Works for both daytime and nighttime viewings. Resolution and brightness create a clear 150-inch display. Setting up the projector is quick, especially when streaming accounts are configured in advance. Paired it with a Bluetooth speaker for enhanced audio, which integrates seamlessly. The projector's portability and 2.5-hour battery life add to its convenience, which allows for easy indoor and outdoor setup.

Just power it up and you are ready to go!
