Artlii Projector HD Home Cinema Projector 3200Lum with Remote Control HDMI cable,support 1080p HD HDMI, USB, VGA, AV, SD Card, Compatible with Fire TV Stick

I bought this on a whim during a lightning deal, having hankered after a projector but not wanting to spend >£400 on something I wasn't sure we'd use that much. I must admit I wasn't expecting much from a projector of this price, but figured I'd give it a go. I am absolutely blown away with the quality this thing is capable of given the right conditions. It's probably not as versatile as those £4-500 projectors and you may not get much use out of it in bright light, but dim the lights, set the right settings on the projector and project onto the right screen and you will be amazed. The projector is allegedly rated at 3200 lumens, but realistically it is nowhere near this, so don't expect to be able to use it in bright light - you will need to dim the lights to really enjoy it. I haven't seen any LED projector reach much more than 1500 lumens, so I don't blame the product, although the specs are a little over-generous. In terms of a screen, I strongly recommend the grey blackout blinds sold by a certain Swedish furniture retailer. It sounds weird projecting onto grey not white, but believe me, it cuts down on extraneous light and boosts the apparent contrast no end - you can actually get really nice blacks with this combination. The projector itself is fairly plasticy but it offers great specs for the money. The real resolution is HD Ready, rather than Full HD, but with a projector I don't think it really matters too much and I have been very happily streaming Amazon Prime 720P at almost 2m wide with a Fire Stick plugged into one of the 2 HDMI ports. There are 2 USB ports on the unit so you can easily power a streaming stick without any need for external power. There is also an audio out jack which I have plugged in to my stereo for cinema sound. The menus are very easy to navigate and I think I've found my perfect balance of settings in terms of brighness, contrast, colour etc. I've mounted it to the ceiling using a cheap bracket off ebay and honestly couldn't be happier. I think we may be using the projector a lot more than I originally planned! Thankfully it has an LED bulb so I don't have to worry about it blowing (probably ever). It's a little loud at first, but once you forget about that and listen to your film, you won't find it intrusive. They recommend putting it 1m away and that really does help. If you mount it on the ceiling you probably won't notice. Overall, a really nice little unit that I strongly recommend for film nights, but it certainly won't replace your TV (unless you live in the dark). Give it a nice grey screen and you will be amazed at the quality it can give you.

I wanted to upgrade from my previous (bedroom) projector, which was a native 480p to a native 720P projector. I checked out several projectors before coming across this ArtLII HD Projector. The product came the next day extremely well packaged and items smartly packed within. Setting this up took no time at all. I had a tripod for my old projector but this projector doesn’t have a tripod attachment (which is fair enough given the Projector is bigger than my previous one) – so I purchased a tripod plate which overcomes this issue and enables the projector to be sat on nicely. The Picture is excellent – I am amazed by the clarity (I get about 80 inches projection size and the distance from my wall to is almost 3m). It’s a fantastic projector for the price and to get this quality in other established brands you would be spending at least £800. All in all I would highly recommend this projector, it has multiple HDMI and USB inputs, is easy to use and the picture quality is bright and excellent – you can adjust the picture to your preference (i.e. saturation/lightness etc). The focus and Keystone all work as required although I would suggest having this Projector as level as possible to ensure premium picture quality. This ArtlII projector was reviewed by Chigztech on YouTube – and it is on the back of this that I decided to purchase this projector as the review was excellent.

This is the first projector I have ever owned, so I cannot compare it to other models out there. But I was very impressed with the quality of this projector for the price. Its very bright and is obviously best in a completely dark room, but it is also very watchable in a dimly lit room as well. I use this projector in my bedroom and have a screen size of around 80 inches. The picture quality and build quality are excellent on this model. I also think its one of the better looking projectors around. The fan does make a noise but its not too bad. I have watched many reviews on YouTube of these 720p projectors and it is rated as one of the quieter models available. This model also has a zoom feature included, so the picture size can be adjusted without having to move the projector closer or further from the wall, but confusingly the feature is call "FOCUS" in the menu. So look out for it when you are setting up the projector. I have a chromecast plugged into the HDMI port on my one, and it lets me cast youtube and netflix to it with no problems at all. I will be adding a Android TV box to it soon. I will update this review if there are any problems with the TV box but I am sure it will work OK.
