Excellent Performance Projectors
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. My brother likes to take pictures, specifically interested in all the aspects of the natural world and even the small details. He always loves to try something new and different to succeed in his career. He always needs to filter and select the photos, but every time he looks at the small screen, thus I decided to find a projector as a birthday gift for him.The projector boots up quickly and has a nice LED light to show its status when booting up. I like the no-frills remote control with all the navigation buttons mirrored exactly as per the projector buttons.The manual focus is very smooth and within seconds you will be wow by a super clear, crisp and sharp image. It takes absolutely no effort to get a focused image from corner to corner.You can tell how clear the picture is when looking on the screen, and this has a nice definition and clarity. While all projectors are susceptible to light coming in from outside etc., we found the brightness to be very good.It has an aux-in and out to play audio. This also enables the projector to be connected to devices such as a Soundbar or external speaker. Actually, It comes with a built-in speaker which sounds really great and is stereo sound too. The sound from the projector is loud enough to not even need separate speakers. The sound fills my entire room without it being at max volume. This would make for the ultimate home entertainment and is really a feature worth checking out. I have loved my time spent using it. This is definitely the best you can buy right now.I initially forgot about buying an HDMI cord. However, when we opened the package of the projector, it already had one in the box which works great. The package comes with an HDMI cable, an Audio/Video cable and power cable.Honestly, I cannot believe that this projector less than $300, that is some serious value for money right there...

Excellent product for the price with a few drawbacks
First of all, there is no perfect projector that does it all. You have to decide what your main use is going to be and then find a projector that is best for that use. Also, the lamp type determines the crispness of detail, such as text, but the brighter and crisper you go, the shorter the lamp life generally. So for business presentations, you'd want really crisp detail but you're going to pay for that in the price and reduced lamp life. This projector is designed for home use and portability (i.e. using it outdoors), and I selected it for the lamp type that has a really long life because I don't want to be replacing parts.I wanted a projector mainly to watch movies outdoors on my patio or at my fire pit. It needed to be able to connect a variety of devices, such as a laptop, ipad, or phone, so we can play streamed content via WIFI.Picture: The picture overall is excellent - crisp detail, bright, good color, and nice and big at the right distance. But you should take note of the picture size at certain distances because you can't scale the picture up, you can only scale it down to 75%. So don't expect to plop this down anywhere and have it scale perfectly to fit your screen.Keystone: There seems to be two ways to correct the keystone: 1.) Using the adjustment ring on the top of the projector. This seems to use some really basic physical adjustment of the lens inside because it causes the top edge of the picture to get really blurry. 2.) When I figured out how to do it digitally via the remote, the keystone correction in both the vertical and horizontal direction seems to stay crisp. I don't know why they put the mechanical adjustment ring on the unit because I thought that was it and wasn't impressed until I read the manual and discovered the other method of adjustment. Maybe it's meant to be the "quick and dirty" way?Sound: The rear-facing speaker is very good, as many reviewers said. Unless you've got some large portable speaker or you're using this indoors with your home theater system, the sound is going to be totally fine. Just note that the speaker is on the rear, not the front, so if you have the projector behind you, the sound gets projected away from you (or outdoors, towards your neighbor!). The fan noise is pretty low and easily gets tuned out, so I didn't think this was an issue.Connectivity: I haven't tried all the different options but have used the included HDMI cable to connect a laptop where we streamed shows and movies. I tried to connect my iphone 8 via a standard USB/Lightning cable and it didn't work. But I think the manufacturer says you have to use an HDMI-Lightning connector. So I bought this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081HBWV5K/ and it works great. I can display my Photos app and flick through photo albums/videos. I also pulled up Safari and browsed the web. I haven't tried any other apps.Accessories: I think this unit comes pretty well equipped: HDMI cable, video cable (white, yellow, red plugs), and the carry case is nice to have so you can get the project out and pack it away quickly. If it's a hassle to box it up every time, you won't use it so often. The remote didn't come with batteries (2 AAA) which isn't a big deal, but is always nice when they put those in the box and can't cost the manufacturer much. Sort of a bummer if you want to use this right away and don't have spare batteries because then you have to use the buttons on the projector.Manual: For a Chinese product, the manual is actually pretty good. Nicely designed and easy to follow and in multiple languages. The text is pretty dang small, though!Quality: Overall I'd say the quality is very good, which exceeded my expectations. The remote feels a bit flimsy/cheap but the projector itself has a nice quality feel and styling, with the fabric grille front and back. The menu system is easy to use but, please, tell my why ALL Chinese products seem to use that same "system" serifed font for all menus? It looks so crappy! There has to be a royalty-free font to use instead of this leftover from the earliest days of computing. Does the Chinese government regulate the use of fonts or something?!! I can tell this company is really trying hard to produce a quality product and have put a lot of effort and thought into it - kind of trying to have that Apple aesthetic and packaging.So overall I'm giving this 4 stars because for it's intended use (TV, movies, pictures), I think this is a really great unit for an equally great price that delivers a great picture, great sound, easy menu, great features, connectivity, accessories, and a nice carry case.What would make this 5 stars? Being able to scale the picture UP by 25%, better quality feel to the remote, include batteries for the remote, do something with the crappy keystone adjuster on the projector unit, change that ugly font out!

Awesome 👍 performance
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. After useage of 1 day I'm writing this review.Pros: 1)portable, powerful 6000 lumens lamp brightness +1080p native resolution.2) with normal light also we can watch videos clearly3) built quality and finishing of the projector is good(front and back fabric is used).4) good audio output, satisfied if required home theater experience can use audio out to connect external speakers5) quality of video throughput is good.6) nice carry case.7) keystone correction + x/y zoom is good option to adjust if not projected the screen straight8) attached images and videos projected on light pink wall (still image clarity is too good)9) easy to use with 2-5 mins I have connected projector and started watching videosCons : 1) indian plug/power connector is not there (need to purchase extention cord / universal scoket to use projector)2) price is bit high3) keystone correction is good but still there need to improve and provide the individual 4 side adjustment4) 1 hdmi Amazon firestick + 1 hdmi tatasky setup connection bit conjusted to use 2 hdmi5) no built-in bluetooth/ wifi , if it is there then good for the price ( I'm using firestick to solve this issue).Suggestions : totally I'm satisfied with my purchase and projector brightness and effienciency is good .Comparetiviely, andriod projector to normal projector performance is quite best.Andriod is just optional and slow in performance, hangs, over heat, apps availability is less , Amazon prime won't support, mirroring also not so good.Can't upgrade software or inbuilts apps . Setting up the andriod is bit cumbersome process.

Value for Money!
I have been using Vankyo V630 for last 20 days now and it has never stopped amusing me by its spectacular big screen experience. After lots of research in buget projectors I went for this and I'm very glad for the decision. This is the only gadget of mine loved by whole family especially my wife because weekend movie nights are amazing now.I'm projecting on a massive 100 inch screen and still picture quality, brightness and colors are great and can easily give head on compitition to any high end expensive projector.Although I can complaint a little about texts going blur on corners but in videos you won't notice a thing.Guy's if you want to set-up your own personal home theatre and you are on a budget then make no second guess. This is the best projector out there at this price. Do not go for android smart projector because they are buggy and very slow in performance. Just plugin your 5.1 sound system & a fire stick with this beauty and you won't look at TV screen any more.

Vankyo.. not worth buying
Better to pick up wzatco s2 or S4 types due to pricing no difference between them... Firestick work with this no problem.. quality wise same like any other cheap Chinese brands..there is no official technical support from Vankyo too...The product which I received had blurred vision on the left bottom corner.. so had to return to pick up an epson

Paisa vasuul product !!
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Worth buying if you are big screen movie lover. I projected upto 11 by 7 feet screen due to room constraints. Had a very clear view. Video quality matters a lot. Video in HD n 4K format works best on big screen. Simple SD channels from Tata sky blurr out on big screen. Sound output is subjective as per channel/ video audio quality. For medium sized room, sound is enough. For big hall, go for stereo / 5.1 output speakers. 3D videos in Red- cyan ( analygyph) works from YouTube. To run a 3D format movie, install '3D dime player' on Amazon fire stick 4K or Mi box S. It works best. But few simple videos on YouTube are the best to watch with your Red- cyan glasses on. It supports maximum HD resolution n cut down 4K to HD quality. 480p looks blur. USB for charging is only 5V, so not really needed. Has multiple connectivity, so no issues at all. Liked it. Full paisa vasuul product.
