AurzenBOOM mini Google TV 4K Supported Smart Projector with WiFi and Bluetooth, Outdoor & Home Movie Projector with 20W Speakers DoIby Audio, Real-Time Focus & Keystone, 500 ANSI Lumens, Green

This little projector has everything you need: good picture, great sound, the ability to cast from your phone, and HDMI inputs to connect other devices such as a gaming console. If you want to level-up your couch potato game and watch movies while fully reclined or lying on your back staring at the ceiling, well, this is it. Why bother sitting up straight watching a normal TV when you can lay completely down and watch a movie on a 160inch picture on your ceiling? It's great and you maximize your ultimate inner lazy.This projector is housed in it's own stand, so there is no need for a tripod and you can even rotate it completely vertical. This makes it easy to setup and not have to bother setting perfect angles all of the time and messing with tripod settings. The projector uses the Google Home system and I'll be frank, I've never used Google Home before. I needed to download the Google Home app and the setup on the projector walked me through setting up everything. Google Home is quite extensive and I don't really use much of the features outside of streaming channels but there is a lot to it. You can setup a screen saver, use your own pictures as a screen saver, use AI generated images to display, set up different device locations - it was a bit much for me, but once I was taken to a screen where I could add channels, everything else was a breeze and you can disregard everything else. I was able to add Hulu, Disneyplus, Crunchyroll, MAX, Netflix, Youtube, etc, pretty much everything. Setup took about 10-15 minutes as the projector goes through this "setting up" phase and once that was completed, we were in business. Turning the projector on from a shut off state will take you to screen where different shows from all of your channels are displayed, things you have previously watched, recommendations, and channel lists. Lovely.The setup menu is quite extensive and I spent quite a bit of time optimizing everything to my liking. That said, here are some tips for those that which to project onto the ceiling. I have the projector far enough to display a 160inch screen. but first things first, you need to fix the focus and keystone settings. There are automatic settings for this, but I got much better results just manually doing it myself. For sound, I have it set to Movie Mode which I found to be the most enjoyable. The speakers are quite good (phenomenal really) in a bedroom but in a large living room you may want to hook up a separate speaker system suitable for Home Theater. There are 3 different backlight settings: ECO, Standard, and Vivid. I suggest using ECO or Standard as the fan does get louder the higher you go. I use ECO myself as in a dark or dim room, the difference between Standard and ECO isn't much but the fan is much more quiet.As for picture settings, there are some things to consider. HDR streams and non-HDR streams are independent of each other, so you can use different settings between the two. However, HDR washes out the color of the picture and encourages you to turn up the brightness and color settings out of what is normal. I did not want to do this, so I turned off HDR on HDR streams.As for my settings:Auto Brightness: Off, I want stability and I don't like the fan getting loudBrightness: 49Contrast: 53Saturation: 66 (needed because I am projecting onto a ceiling, which is not pure white and not a "projector screen"HUE: 0Sharpness: 12Advanced SettingsColor Temperature: Warm most of the time, if you're watching in the middle of the afternoon then StandardDNR: OffMPEG NR: OffMax Vivid: OffAdaptive Luma Control: Low or Off (I prefer low as it helps with black crush, or low lit scenes. Also it improves the picture most of the time but keep in mind this can sometimes cause skin tones to appear more yellow or red.)Local Contrast Control: OffFlesh Tone: OffDI Film Mode: Off (This disables a lot of the post-processing "enhancements"Blue Stretch: On (This compensates for for the lifted Saturation value)Low Blue Light: OffAs you can see from the photos, picture is fantastic. If you want to watch stuff on the ceiling like me, this is it.

Blacks are reasonably deep, and whites are crisp without being overpowering.Connectivity & Ease of Use (10/10)Setup is simple and quick. The remote is intuitive, and the on-screen menu is beginner-friendly, which is a huge plus for those new to projectors.Sound Quality (9/10)While the built-in speakers are functional and loud enough for small rooms, they lack depth and bass.

I love the size and portability of the projector. Upon receiving it, I actually tried it in different rooms in the house; it is easy to adjust the size of the screen using the manual keystone option. The one thing that was a bit annoying was that after setting up the projector on a spot and not moving it, sometimes the size of the screen I setup is set and I didn’t have to reset the size again but sometimes it would go back to original screen size and I had to reset it again; it was not a major inconvenience but I reached out to the seller and they provided some tips to reset the keystone settings that it seems has solved that issue.I like that it’s a google TV and has some of the main streaming apps already loaded and that you can download additional apps; I had some issues with the mic for google assistant not working, but once I paired the remote again it started working without issues. For the size of the rooms where I used the projector the sound is perfect. I also used the HDMI port with a FireTV stick and works great, but really with the built-in Google TV is not really needed. The one thing that is missing for me, is that I have not found an app that allows to mirror from an apple device without having to pay a subscription; at least I have not found a free app; I tried a couple of different apps but both after a few minutes it would stop mirroring and asking to pay for a subscription.Overall, the performance of the projector is great and serves my needs very well. I have yet to try it outdoors but I have high expectations for that too.
