Absolutely love this projector, but there are just a few things I wish I would have known before making my purchase. Bluetooth function is mainly for external speaker use because the screen mirroring function is mainly through wifi, and there is some sort of restriction (I assume some kind of copyright issue) that keeps you from streaming online services like Netflix and Youtube (I anticipated using the “wireless” function the most for streaming, unfortunately). You can also connect your device to the projector through WIFI which is great in theory, but once you’ve connected to the projector via wifi, you can’t really use your laptop/tablet unless you have the ability to use cellular data on your device which is obvious to me now but didn’t realize at first lol. So you can use your phone to connect to wifi and use your data to search the web or watch tiktok/facebook/instagram videos on your wall, but again, you can’t stream Netflix. We also tried downloading the Netflix shows/movies to watch “offline” in an attempt to bypass the need for wifi, but again, there is some kind of restriction once you’re on Netflix. So despite the cool Bluetooth and wifi functions, you will most likely need to use the HDMI cable for any online TV show/movie streaming which works PERFECTLY, and thankfully this projector comes with an HDMI cable. In regards to the actual display, however, the clarity and available settings to optimize your viewing needs are insane! It is extremely easy to set up and navigate with the remote anywhere in the house or even outside thanks to the attachable tripod stand and its different adjustable zoom/focus/angle/height settings (in a dark room or at night outside, the clarity is honestly better than most of my TV’s, not to mention its also cheaper than most TV’s). My girl and I have enjoyed countless movies and shows on this projector and would HIGHLY recommend it, despite the minor disappointment we had as we anticipated solely using the wifi/Bluetooth functions for shows and movies. We thought the screen sharing/screen mirroring ability would work great for streaming tv shows and movies, but although it doesn’t work for streaming, it works AMAZINGLY via Bluetooth and wifi connection if you are just trying to view pictures, play games, watch videos (like on Tiktok, Facebook, and Instagram), or play movies/shows that are downloaded on your device on a “big screen”. Again, it does NOT work for streaming Netflix without an HDMI cable. Hope this info is useful for those looking to buy a projector! I will say, since my purchase I have been very satisfied, but I have also learned there are some projectors that are kinda like “smart projectors” that already comes with Netflix and other apps so you can stream it through the projector so you don’t have to purchase a firestick or something like that which I read you can connect to this projector to stream those online services. Hope this helps 🙂
