DBPOWER Native 1080P 5G 4K WiFi Projector, Upgrade 20000L 500 ANSI FHD Outdoor Movie Projector, Support 4P+4D Keystone/Zoom/PPT, 300 Portable Mini Video Projector Compatible w/Phone/Laptop/DVD/PC/TV

I needed a brighter projector so I thought I would give this one a try. It is a lot brighter and now we dont have to wait until it gets dark outside to watch a movie. I like the wifi bluetooth and screen cast. So far this was a good buy.

UPDATE- The company reached out to me and sent me a new one, so I decided to review it fairly. I believe I received a defective unit, so I highly recommend everyone who purchases this item to test it properly, because a working one of these is great: *** Upon opening the projector, you’re greeted by a very cute small backpack that opens all the way to reveal the projector and a few cables - hdmi, AV (I think), and the power cord. You also have a manual and a remote. The projector itself comes with a lens cap, and is absolutely amazing. You’re greeted with the home screen, which gives you access to each input, and the settings. I connected a Chromecast to this, but the screen share on it is amazing and reliable. I’m able to connect my phone within just a few seconds. The quality is definitely 1080p, and the focus is super easy. However, the part that stands out to me the most is keystone. I can put my projector anywhere in my room and keystone it so that it looks straight. This feature makes it so worth it, because it maintains the quality really well. In terms of brightness, the projector is pretty bright. At nighttime you might have to turn the brightness down, and you can see the screen in a light daylight, I’d definitely not recommend trying it in direct sunlight though. I watched a 3 hour movie and a few episodes of a show today, and it was great. No burning, no overheating, nothing. Only time will tell if it survives, but customer service is great to contact if you need any help or notice anything strange. The only thing I wish it had was Bluetooth, which can be solved with a Bluetooth adapter that plugs into the unit’s USB port. Regardless, for the price, this is definitely the best and simplest projector you can buy if you’re hosting a party outdoors, indoors, or just need something quick and easy. —old review below— I received this projector this afternoon and was so pleasantly surprised when opening it. It arrived in a whole backpack! I was stunned. I began removing the accessories, setting everything up, and turned it on. It was beautiful, especially the keystone correction was amazing. Then comes nighttime. I turned it back on with my friends to watch my first movie on it. In the middle of the movie, my friend closest to the projector said he smelled something funny. We all looked over at the projector to see it smoking from the vents. The screen began turning brown, so we quickly unplugged the projector and put it on the floor so it doesn’t burn our table What started as such an amazing purchase turned into a disaster, in only a few hours. Looking at the other reviews I see similar things have happened after months of usage, but I also see so much positivity. Are these just defective units? I can’t imagine something that looked so promising can spontaneously combust. Now the projector shows brown all over the image, and I won’t keep it on for more than 2 minutes or else it heats up quickly. I really wish this worked for me.

This is my second DB power projector. Although my first one was an older and cheaper model, it worked great for what I wanted to use it for which is backyard movies. This one has more lumens than my first one and has a sharper picture. I still feel like its best used in dark rooms or if you dont have a lot of lighting outside at night. It takes a while for the remote to function properly. I was holding buttons down for a long time. Other than that, Im pleased with the product and the backpack to carry it on trips is nice too!

the digitail zoom is a joke. to get 100in need the projector like 20 feet back. misleading.

I completely tested 5 $250 and below projectors and this was the best of the bunch. It had the brightest picture, the best sound by a long shot (didnt want to have to fuss with external BT speakers etc) and is easy to use and setup. This one does NOT have BT capability, but you wont need it anyway. Planning to use it for occasional movies and some Fall football on the garage door and wanted simple and quick. I am so far very pleased with this projector for the money. The screen size in my pictures is 150 to 170 inches and still pretty darn clear dorectly on the aluminium door. Biggest thing for me was the sound is really good amd just fine at half volume for normal viewing. About what you would expect from a TV.

Updated July 9, 2021: Tech support saw my original review and proactively contacted me to upgrade their projector SW/Firmware. The upgrade fixed both the Aux-out volume (now we have cinema sound) and IOS mirror issue. I have adjusted the product rating accordingly. Now its a great projector which i would recommend you purchase/try. Thanks again to tech-support for helping me out. Original Review: Indoor video and sound is very good to excellent. Will test outdoors later and adjust rating as needed. Knocked off 1 star because IOS Mirroring did not work for me. Knocked off 2nd star because AuxOut to speaker lowered the external speaker volume. It does not seem to have enough juice from Aux out for the 2 different speakers I tried which eliminates cinema experience potential.

Im awaiting my 3rd RD828 ! Perhaps my expectations are too high for what is after all, a budget projector. Im almost sure they are, as i have a high level home theater in a dedicated room using a great Epson projector. I wanted to use a budget LED projector to project a pc based golf simulation program in my game room. The RD828 seemed like it would fit that bill adequately, but although it is strong in some areas, quality control is not one of them. Both units i returned showed artifacts on screen that are evidence of poor assembly environmental cleanliness - Read, not assembled in a clean room ! Hairs and dead pixels that could be dirt, probably on an internal lens, were visible on the screen, and once seen, thats all i could see ! Im hoping the 3rd sample does not have these issues, because I like several things about this unit. The picture is very close to correctly focused in all 4 corners, while the center image is focused, which is hard for a budget LED to achieve. I tried a Nexigo PJ20 first and it was terrible in this regard. With that unit, you could have the center or the corners focused, but not both ! Light output is ok in a semi dark room, but as is to be expected, any ambient light washes it out. 4 corner keystone correction works amazingly well, as does digital zoom reduction. Ill update, if the 3rd time becomes a charm :) Dropped to a one star. 3rd one had something rattling around inside it and picture was the worst yet. I give up on this one unfortunately. It showed promise, but unless im being extremely unlucky, quality control is non existent.

Its great at night. During the day you need very dark to get good quality but you can still see crystal clear images with this with a lamp on ... Super durable sound excellent. I do recommend getting a speaker system or something to make it more effective for surround sound. But the picture quality is off the charts good even on a white background. You dont need any screens its perfect and lots of sizing and adjust ment features. The best is the easy turn lense focus where you focus the machine like you would a pro camera on manual. You rotate the black covering from a side spot next to the lense super easy. The only thing unless the sun is Down down its hard to see the picture you need it dark. Thats my only draw back no TV during the day

Never thought Id see the pic this does for this price... It was an impulse buy and left me jaw-dropped... Nice!

A big issue I had with a cheaper projector was that I couldnt adjust both the tilt and the sizing, and both are necessary if you want to place the unit at a very specific spot and project onto a specific space. To elaborate: if you must aim the lens up or down, the projection needs to account for the tilt; if you move the projector far away, the projection naturally blows up and you have to scale it down. The DBPower gives you clear control over both in the settings - it calls the tilt keystone and the sizing zoom. I was pleasantly surprised by the software including every permutation of keystone adjustment. Theres one screw-foot that lets you mechanically raise the angle, and its quick to use. I want to take a moment to appreciate the fabric covering on top of the projector - its a gorgeous, satisfying design that makes you want to place your phone on it as you Miracast onto the screen. The LED is bright enough to project during the day, though you probably shouldnt - see the wash-out above and below the dresser in the pics. Audio is good in a pinch, but if you make this device the center of your media hub, youll obviously want to use the AV out or separate the audio; there is an RCA to 3.5mm cable included, but its extremely short, so Im not sure if its useful. There is some ambient noise from the fans as you would expect, comparable to a hard-working gaming laptop. The focus adjustment wheel feels great. The unit is hefty, so good build quality and no wobble. All in all, the product nails the basics. Miracast is nice to have, since in a pinch you can skip the HDMI cable. I think the aesthetics are great. It blows the cheap projector I had out of the water.
