TANGCISON Video Projector,LCD Projector 1500Luminous 160" HD 1080P Projector Multimedia Home Theater Movies Projector for Cinema TV Laptop Game with HDMI USB VGA AV Input (Black)

I got this projector because Of the 3300 lumensI have used a 1800, 2500, and 3300 lumen projector before and this one is definetly brighter*DISPLAY-Well it says its 768 HD, Compared to a 400 SD resolution you can barely tell the difference- Its bright enough to be comfortably used with the lights off (not too bright) and its also bright enough to used with the lights on however for the best experience obviously lights off would be better- The thing that impressed me the most is the projection distance is insane! Even when put far away it is still very clear and the screen is huge, so big it doesnt even fit on my wall!*SOUND- The sound is good, it has a surround sound option that makes it sound alot better, I’d give it a 8/10- It can get extremelly loud, thats a plus also*INTERFACE- I connected it to the power, then to my laptop, then I press one button twice and it was already projecting, extremelly easy to use and navigate, image can be flipped for those wondering- Adjusting the keystone and focus is extremelly easy and smooth, 10/10 on this*PORTABILITY- This thing is made out of some type of metal, however its very light, one drawback is that its huge, this is definetly not one of those toy looking projectors, its about the size of a 15 inch laptop to put it into prespectiveOverall it definetly delivers on everything the description says, would recommendIf you’re wondering about daytime use, it gets the job done, the image can be seen with lights on from about 8-10ftIf you’re using it with lights off, its a definitive buy***UPDATE***I upgraded to an Epson projector because this simply was not bright enough for use in a room with light. While i do Recomend it if you are on a budget and you are going to use this strictly in a dark room. I suggest shelling out the extra $100-$200 to get a good quality projector such as Epson, BenQ, Sony, etc.Quite frankly for less than $300 you wont find a projector that is going to stand out and they all seem to perform about the same or have negligible differences.This is adverticed as 3300 lumens, however I uploaded two pictures comparing it to a 2700 lumen Epson projector and you can clearly see the differences. The Epson is way brighter by FAR. I guess lumens are not a universal measurement because for some reason all of these 3000 lumen projectors for $200 are less bright than 2000 lumen name brand projectors.

I have a "50 smart TV for daily use, but for special occasions or special presentations (read: movies) I wanted to get a projector to use on my wall to get a truly big screen experience. So I brought this baby used on Amazon marketplace. While it doesn't have bluetooth audio out I got around that problem by following another reviewers recommendation and got at TaoTronics Bluetooth 4.1 transmitter and receiver and just plugged it into the audio out jack so I can pair it with my Bluetooth enabled home theater system or my Bluetooth headphones ('cuz honestly the built-in speakers are crap). As for the picture, well obviously it's going to be at it's best in a darkened room but that's not a problem since most of my viewing is done at night. And since I'm just projecting on a bare wall I can't say the image is tru HD, but it's still plenty good. Sharp enough and no pixelation as far as I can see. (see attached photo).So why only 4 stars instead of 5? Well even though it comes with a remote I can't for the life of me get it to work. I know the batteries are fine but still it won't do anything. Not a big problem for me since I only use this with my Blu ray player and my HTPC and both of those I just connect them to the projector via an HDMI cable and use the remotes for those devices, but still I paid for a remote and the one I got doesn't work. That and the built-in speakers are basically crap as mentioned before. Still for just over a hundred bucks used I'm plenty satisfied.

Wow! I have several other projectors with fewer lumens (around 1500). Though those projectors work just fine, there is a noticeable difference between those and this one (which is 3300 lumens). You get a fairly crisp picture during the daylight, even with an overhead light on. I haven’t tried it yet at night and/or in a very dark room. However, since the image is so good during the day, I expect that it will be excellent in a dark environment. Another very positive feature about this projector that is different from my others is that, if using a thumb drive for your source, you can get the projector to automatically loop a movie. Since I’m using this for Halloween and Christmas window projections, that’s an immensely helpful feature. (If you’re using a DVD instead of a thumb drive, you’ll have to get the DVD player to do the looping. Not sure if it will loop with an SD card as I haven’t tried that yet, but I imagine that the projector might loop that medium as well). If I were to change anything about this projector, it would probably be to give it a longer power cord. It’s extremely short so you almost certainly have to use an extension cord. Also, I needed to flip the picture since there’s writing in the video and, unless the video is flipped, the writing will appear backwards when viewing the video from the street. I can get the projector to flip the image using the menus, however, I can’t seem to get the remote to flip the image even though there’s a “flip” button on the remote. Not a big deal and I'm not entirely sure that the problem is with the remote but more likely that the problem is with me. All in all, this is a great little projector, especially since I got it on lightning deal and only paid about $169 for it.

I been using this Tangcison for a month now finally decide to do a review. There are few words that I can put together to adequately describe how excellent this projector is. The picture quality is phenomenal, even in a relatively bright environment. I have used it against a neutral colored wall as well as against a 120" outdoor screen and have been blown away in both cases. Setup is a breeze yet there are plenty of easy ways to tweak and get the most out of your projector. The sound from the built in speaker leave a bit to be desired but I imagine it will only be used sparingly in the majority of use cases. If you are considering a projector for indoor or outdoor movie nights, sports watch parties, or simply to replace a TV, you should ABSOLUTELY consider this projector. You will NOT be dissapointed.
