Amazing projector for the budget, very intuitive, and has good contrast and brightness Read more

This is an excellent portable projector for its price. It doesn't compare to my epson HC4000, especially in the edge focus but for around $200 with auto keystone, auto focus, wifi, netflix, prime video, etc. it's surprisingly capable. Network and netflix setup was effortless and work. Autofocus & keystone got into the ballpark but it was easy to manually adjust both. The pics attached were taken in standard picture mode in a basement media room with lights off but early morning sun shining through two tinted windows. Color was reasonably accurate and bright enough in this environment. I'm sure it would look better in complete darkness - but then all projectors do. Oh, and Tacoma FD is noice. Read more

This Alvar V800P is a nice projector but at its lower cost it does have some flaws. The brightness and color is excellent. The sound is excellent out of its small speakers. The BT remote works great. The ability to BT the sound to a BT receiver works well. What the unit lacks is a lack of customer service. I tried to email some questions of the unit and after 9 days I have no reply. The unit does not handle fast motion well as it gets choppy. There is no options to adjust motion blur in the settings. The unit does not have a tripod mount. The manual focus screen should be updated with FW to show a proper focus screen with focus point not only in the center of the screen but also in all four corners. If your placement of the projector is not perpendicular to the screen the Keystone will effect the ability to get perfect focus across the full screen. Read more

I finally upgraded to a 4K projector for our family room. I've been using an old mini projected the last several years that really lacked working well in bright rooms. After reading reviews and doing quite a bit of research, I went with the Alvar 4K Projector. I couldn't believe how amazing the video is! I tested it in our family movie room where there's plenty of light at 3PM in the afternoon and the video was great! I remember trying to watch the Super Bowl last year around 3PM and my video was so faint. I couldn't believe how well I was able to see the videos. Of course, the video is much better in the dark but I am truly surprised at how well I can watch something in the bright afternoon now. The auto adjustment for focus, keystone, and avoiding obstacles features are game changers! I no longer need to manually adjust the picture! Although it has wifi 6 capabilities, I didn't connect it nor use the built in Netflix or other streaming applications because I prefer my Roku Streaming stick. The power brick is a bit on the larger side but doesn't bother me since I'm using a tripod tray. It may require an extension cord for folks mounting the project from ceilings though. My projector sits on a tripod tray about 12 feet away from the wall and at a height of 5 feet. It's now able to project a 121 inch diagonal video! Compared to my old projector, this new project projects a video is about 15 inches wider, when measured diagonally! I uploaded a few pics and a video: Sponge Bob photos - the faint one was taken at 3PM, the vivid one was at 9PM. The football video and image shows how clear the pictures are. This project is hands down the best in terms of picture quality, contrast, and color especially in brighter rooms. If you're in the market for a new 4k projector, you can't go wrong with this one! I highly recommend this model and brand. Read more

It worked fine for a few months (and we only used it on weekends). Now it won’t even turn on anymore. The power box on the cord still lights up but the projector won’t turn on. Way too expensive to only work a few months. Also just FYI you can’t stream Disney on this. UPDATE: customer service worked with me to fix everything. They apologized and sent a replacement and it works great. Hopefully that was just a rare freak thing for the first one to stop working like that. Again, awesome customer service that went out of their way to make sure everything was satisfactory. Thank you! Read more

Excelente imagen, pero sobre todo quiero destacar el audio. Era mi preocupación máxima al comprarlo, y superó mis expectativas al 1000%. Aclaro que lo utilizo solo en interiores. Recomiendo darle limpieza al filtro de aire al menos mensualmente, (muy fácil). Read more

I did a lot of research - this is the best picture quality I’ve ever seen in a projector. It is almost TOO bright, so I have to use the lower brightness setting often. But the detail is amazing. It is so clear even on the edges. You can see pores on people’s faces (see photo) and words are crisp. It’s not over the top/fake sharpness like an HDR photo filter or something, it’s just so clear. My friend couldn’t believe it. Its throw is great too, image is huge and projector is only about 20 ft away. I watched a YT video that compared all the projectors in the 200-400 price range, and this one came in 3rd overall, however, I chose it because the colors looked very true /natural to me. The first and second options leaned green - which I notice seems to be a trend with projectors. I do NOT like muddy dark colors or green casts in projectors and did not want that. This one’s colors are fantastic. And the black point is not muddy/muted, it’s perfect to me. Sound is great too, uses Dolby. You can screen share your phone, and can plug in external devices like a firestick if you want (which I did) but it does have smart feature if you don’t have one of those. The fan is not silent but it’s much quieter than my old projector’s fan. I’m extremely happy with this! I bought a different projector originally that was more $$$ and the picture is quality was awful it was so disappointing. I think for the price range, you really can’t do better than this option!

No way this is 1200 ANSI lumens but it’s bright enough with adequate light control. Picture quality is excellent considering the price and keystone correction (which degrades picture quality - if you have good flexibility with projector placement, you should just place it where you don’t need any keystone correction. Zoom ratio is more than adequate for our screen size/distance. Sound, in my opinion, is not loud enough so I bought a 5.1 soundbar system. I wasn’t enamored with any of the auto-setup functions; I disabled them and use the manual focus and 4-corner keystone correction (both of which work well). Remote is serviceable; would be better if it was backlit. I can’t really speak to the integrated streaming media player because I can’t install Jellyfin on it - and if I’m going to use an external streaming media player anyway, I just use it for everything. Overall, I’m happy with this projector; it meets my needs temporarily until I can setup a “real” home theater system. I knocked off a star, though, because I don’t think it’s nearly as good as so many of the 5-star reviews here make it out to be. Read more

This projector is exceptional, looks to be the cheapest 4K projector on Amazon but don't let the price fool you it is a great product, the auto focus feature on it makes it so easy to use any where so the picture is always crystal clear, of the projectors I've owned the sound coming from it is also great, not perfect sound but easily the best of the projectors I have owned, highly recommended Read more

Great option if your on a budget Seemed to have burns in screen at first. The more I used it they seemed to go away. Not sure why. Has a great bright sharp picture. Love the auto focus and 4 corner adjustment. The remote is awesome being Bluetooth! Love that there is 2 hdmi ports. Fast wifi connection with streaming apps Haven't got to use it as a bt speaker yet. But really appreciate and am surprised with how well it sounds. Read more

Bought this projector with plans to use it primarily for outdoor movie nights this year. Pictures show tests of the video quality when the projection size is about 100” and 200” under various media and lighting conditions. I have been thoroughly impressed with how well it performs. The video quality is very nice and respectably clear. The Dolby Audio speakers are also pleasantly powerful. The fan is noticeable when there is no sound but once you start watching something it pretty much fades into the background. My friends and I decided that for movie nights we would most likely still use our own sound equipment but for any outdoor watch parties for sporting events the internal Dolby speakers would be more than sufficient. The auto focus feature is very nice but I did find myself having to do only the slightest manual adjustment from time to time afterwards in a few of my test runs. But that only takes all of 2 seconds with the remote to do the finishing adjustment if it’s even necessary. The pre-loaded apps; Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Video; I was able so use with no issues. However when I tried downloading Hulu and Disney+ from their “App Store” I was unable to get the apps to open properly. Thankfully, the projector comes with 2 x hdmi ports and a usb port so I just plugged in my Roku stick to use its apps instead and this solution worked fine. I did not try the Bluetooth feature in either direction so I cannot speak to how well that performs. Also it does not come with a protection cover for the lens when not in use so be mindful of that. Overall, for the features and the quality that you get at this budget-friendly price point it is truly a great projector. I am completely satisfied with my purchase and hope it lasts a long time with no issues. Read more

I recently purchased this projector, and I couldn’t be happier with its performance. The 1000 ANSI lumens make for a bright and vibrant display, even in rooms with some ambient light. The colors are rich, the contrast is excellent, and the sharpness brings movies and shows to life in a way I didn’t expect from a projector at this price point. What really sets this projector apart is the audio by DBX-TV—the built-in sound is leagues ahead of most projectors I’ve used. The clarity, depth, and balance make for a truly immersive experience, eliminating the need for an external speaker in many cases. Setup was a breeze, and the variety of input options made it easy to connect my devices. Whether for movies, gaming, or presentations, this projector delivers top-notch performance. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a high-quality home theater experience! Read more
