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)

This projector is very easy to set up and connected to my phone through an HDMI connector. The quality of the image is pretty good and the sound from the projector made this experience even better. We used this in my sons room which the image is projected to the wall and part of the door, but it didnt affect the experiences at all. I recommended this to anyone who would like to have an addition to their home screen. One more thing is that you dont need to worry about the children starring at the screen all the time, they are actually looking at the wall.

Perfect projector for the price! Definitely recommend.

Amazing projector! Especially for the money. The only thing that was what I expected was how loud the project fan is. But, if you use speakers like a sound bar its no problem at all.

Late 2019: I ran into a couple issues with my first projector where it was making some extra noise when powered on. It sounded like the fans were grinding a bit, this ultimately caused there to be a burn in the light bulb where the center of the screen would be a white circle and the outer edges would be a dark shadow. I also ran into an issue where the projectors sleep timer does not calculate correctly. It would divide the time selected by 5. For example, if you selected for it to sleep in an hour, it would turn off in 12 minutes. The projector is good when it works correctly. The support was great!

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!

Very good quality projector especially for the money. The reason its not 5 star to me is there is no automatic screen fitting feature. What this means is that the only way to get the projector to look to fit a certain size and be a perfect rectangle without the screen being distorted is it physically has to sit in the right location which is not always an option for everyone due to room size pr furniture arrangements. Also there is no horizontal keystone shifting only vertical. Other then these criticisms its a high quality bright projector. Just make sure you have the ability to put it in the correct spot to fit your wall/screen in your home before you buy it

This projector is perfect at its price point. The pictures is bright, it colorful, sharp and the sounds is great. Currently I have it projected on a textured wall and it still shows great nice and bright. Sitting on top of my headboard I havent had any issues hearing it and I keep it on level 30 for sounds and it can go up to 100. I am glad I purchased this projector.

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.

I wanted my first projector so I can dabble in visual projecting for artistic purposes for small projects like mural sketching and ambient illumination for artistic events, but I didnt want to spend a ton, as its not my main work tool. The projector works, is bright enough for my purposes The audio from the projector is also nice and loud, and the fan noise isnt too bothersome. But the edges do get a tad blurry when trying to focus, and of course, as other reviewers have pointed out, the brightness isnt what is described. Im giving it 5 stars because for the price and my purposes its ok. If someday I need something more professional, I will purchase one of the bigger brand names, but as in introductory tool, its great.

The picture is great. i was going to buy a speaker, but i didn’t need one because the built in speaker is really nice. 10/10
