[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While I have not had chance to try this with all the rain lately, my neighbor purchased the exact one and loved it. The clarity is wonderful and it connects easily. It is very lightweight and I can’t wait till the rain stops and we use it for games.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the GPX Beam+ Projector with Bluetooth, and overall it’s been a nice little device for casual use. The setup was really easy, and I like that it’s compact and portable—I can move it around the house or even use it outdoors at night.
The picture quality is decent in a dark room, and movies look good on a bigger wall or screen. It’s not the brightest, so it doesn’t work well in the daytime or with a lot of light in the room, but for night use it’s fine. The built-in speaker is okay, but I usually connect it to my Bluetooth speaker for better sound, which works smoothly.
One thing to note: I tried playing Netflix directly from my phone, and it didn’t work. That’s because Netflix blocks playback on some projectors due to content protection (HDCP). You’ll need a device like a Chromecast, Fire TV Stick, or laptop to watch Netflix without problems.
I also noticed the fan can get a little noisy, but once the movie starts, I don’t pay much attention to it. The remote makes it easy to control since there aren’t many buttons on the projector itself.
Overall, I think this projector is a good budget-friendly option if you’re just looking for something simple for movie nights or casual viewing.
I bought it a day ago and it looks great! I like the sound, to be honest, it's very good, although it lacks the ability to download some applications like Netflix, YouTube, among others, but it sounds good!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids are obsessed with this thing. They like to play videos and home videos on the wall in their rooms. It’s simple enough for them to use with their iPads, though we are having some issues with certain apps not working. We have yet to figure out if that’s a device issue or a user issue. I’m sure we will figure it out. I’m also pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. I feel like it’s clear and plenty loud.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to receive this product! My husband and I set it up in our bedroom to watch on the ceiling as we were laying down and it was amazing I definitely recommend and think this would be so fun for an outdoor movie night!!
Saw this on another end cap and purchased it on a whim. Thought it would be great to play movies for the kids when they visit. Turns out, after reading the fine print, it doesn't let you play streaming services due to copyright issues. How stupid! No Bluetooth for it, must plug in an iPhone to get it to work, so use my husband's phone. No plug for an Android, which is what I have, so I can't use it. The star feature is just one galaxy picture and the mood colors are just solid blocks of color. Worse purchase in memorable history. Taking it back immediately!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
