JIMTAB M18 Native 1080P LED Video Projector, Upgraded HD Projector with 300”Display Support AV,VGA,USB,HDMI, Compatible with Xbox,Laptop,iPhone and Android for Academic Display (Dark Star)

The picture is great! Fan is a little loud but for the price its well worth it.

I bought the projector and the screen together, and they match very well, the projected images are very high-definition, and the machine has very good acoustics, just like watching a movie. My husband always uses it as a game screen. It is really recommended to buy it and enjoy the effect of the cinema at home.

Bought this projector after only doing a little research online and am content with it. Even in medium lighting in my room, I can make out enough of the picture to see what is going on but that is just the nature of projectors, an already bright room will decrease picture clarity. Overall very pleased with this projector and feel it was a pretty good value. Wish Id have done more research to find one that would automatically adjust the picture because it really limits where you can put it and have it work. If you put it at an angle to the surface it is projecting on, the closest side will be smaller than the farther one. There are a couple manual adjustments you can make to focus the lens or tilt the screen but neither really helps enough to make mounting it point at much of an angle a viable option. Originally I wanted it in the corner of my room but quickly learned that wont work unless I wanted a lop sided screen so I ended up buying a ceiling mount and putting it on the ceiling where it works great. Ultimately this was my fault for not doing the research so I am not holding it against them. Overall, good projector and if you understand the limitations and can work around them, this is a good buy. > Best in darker rooms > Needs to face directly at the surface it will be playing on for best results > Semi noisy fan but it is a projector, easy to ignore once you get use to it > Can flip its orientation to accommodate being mounted up side down or on either side > The remote and construction seems of decent quality

I picked this up on a whim to see how it might perform vs. more expensive projectors. As the old adage goes - you get what you pay for! The claim that this projector somehow reaches 6,000 lumens is totally and unequivocally false. If it was that bright it would be as bright as a television (if not more so) in a suitably lit room. This one falls short. Way short. Its very dim - so dim in fact that it looks about the same as other more reputably marketed projectors that advertise 500 lumens of brightness. Compared to my decade old 720p projector that operates at 2500 lumens its night and day. So where did they get this lumen figure from? Well they likely just stuck their light meter in the lens - even when I did that with a white image I only measured about 4500 even with the upgraded version of their projector. In the real world the image youll get even at a 75 projection size is dim and low quality. I found it nearly impossible to get a clean focus. The edges are always blurry no matter how perfectly aligned the projector is to the surface. The bottom line is that this is no shortcut to quality. Youll get a projected image for a low price here price but not a good one. You do indeed get what you pay for!

Let me start by saying this $200 projector is better than the LCD one I bought for $2000 15 years ago (Panasonic L300U). But it has some issues that might be a deal breaker for you. PROS : Great picture. Nice black levels. Lightweight and easy to mount (I made my own). Its BLACK (what is with all these white projectors?!), True native 1080p. It has a nice response time so playing video games on it works great as well. LED lamp means tens of thousands of hours, so using it as much as a TV is just fine. CONS : Noisy. You wont notice most of the time but during quiet scenes you hear the fan. The lens cover only goes on if the lens is completely retracted inside the unit, meaning you have to refocus every time you use it (you may want to fashion your own cover to avoid this). It also gets dusty. 6 months in there are grey spots ALL OVER the screen in white scenes. You can open it up and clean them off, but a better filter system should have been put in place. Again you might do your own to fix this. Im not sure if the fan intake is the only place the dust gets in though. OVERALL : For $200 its a great projector, ticking many of the boxes I was waiting for at this price-point (1080p native, response time, black levels) but youll have to do some old fashioned modding to get rid of the dust/noise/lens cover gripes.

Love this projector, I was skeptical on buying one with so many budget projectors that I ran into this and saw reviews on youtube as well and dam this thing is worth it, very happy with my purchase, very bright, sound is pretty good as well , fan noise is there but the sound blocks it out which is a plus

After watching so many videos on projectors I made my decision with this projector. So far I love it! Colors are amazing as well as the audio. 10/10

Iv had for a while the picture was nicer than I expected. I like that you can hook up what you want even gaming console. I only dislike the sound quality but it’s better than nothing and maybe you can get a small sound bar for it then it will be perfect! But def recommend !

I have owned three projectors in my life. Viewsonic, Epson, and a mini 720p projector by 3M. I have used them for presentations in meetings, watching movies, and playing games. In short, given my experience, I highly recommend the JIMTAB M18. I did my research. I watched hours of YouTube reviews for about 20 of these budget Chinese projectors before I settled on this one. The thing that sold me on this model was the common denominator... everyone seemed to love this projector. They have good reasons to! Heres what I like: 1) It is bright enough. When running a presentation in a lit environment with blinds open and lights on, text and graphics are still crisp and readable. With the lights off, the picture is phenomenal. I know there are cheaper native 1080p projectors on Amazon, but what suffers as a result? Would you sacrifice deep blacks for a higher LUX rating? Would you sacrifice color fidelity? I think the contrast and color representation on this model are wonderful. The blacks look black in a darkened room. The colors look natural and even. 2) The fan is quiet enough. I am used to hearing a fan run while using projectors. I feel like many of the reviewers who complain about fan noise on these projectors have no experience to guide their opinions. This is not the loudest projector I have owned, nor is it the quietest. I have owned PC PSUs that were louder. 3) The speaker is loud enough and the sound is good enough. You should not rely on any projector to deliver a high-fidelity audio experience, and this projector is no exception. For presentations, watching YouTube, etc., it will work fine. I recommend a separate audio solution for watching movies and listening to music. The speaker can be heard well over the fan. 4) The picture quality is very good. Running various screen tests, I can confirm that I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of the picture. I did these tests with an 82 white projection screen in a darkened (but not totally dark) room. I noticed a little blurring at the edges of the screen and slight dimming of brightness at the extreme edges. I see these as common traits of all of the projectors Ive used. I suppose you can buy projectors costing thousands more that do not have these issues, but I am happy to save that money for something else. When using the manual keystone control, I noticed some bowing of the image at the top and bottom, and more variation in the focus of the image, but overall, within the acceptable range for my use. 5) The price is excellent. In a crowded market of budget projectors, it can be difficult to choose the right one. The fact that this one costs less than $250, but offers features generally found on name-brand projectors costing $300-400 more is impressive. In summary, if you are looking for a great projector in the crowded field of value projectors, you should seriously consider this one. Lets be real. You cant compare this to a $1000 projector, and nor should you. This is the right projector for business presentations in environments where lighting can be controlled. This is the right projector for a kids room. This is the right projector for a backyard movie party. This is the right projector for watching TV, and movies, until you can afford to step up to a $1000 system.

Overall the quality is great when connected to phones, I initially had an issue with connecting the hdmi. The instructions were not clear but it works. Great deal
