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 title doesnt do it justice. The Projector isnt little, in fact its actually decently sized. Its not really a Portable projector at all. With that out of the way, lets get onto the actual review. I received the projector on the estimated day, even after having some technical difficulties with Amazon. That has nothing to do with the actual product, more of a note about Amazons warehouse. The projector arrived, and i set it up and used it right away, and was blown away with how clear the image was compared to another projector I ordered. This projector is TRUE native 1080P, which i was really concerned about, after getting burned by Venkyos projectors. I rated the Picture, and Value for money a 3 out of 5 stars based upon my own testing. One side of the image is always blurry, but I suspect that has nothing to do with the projector, and more about my setup, and once Im able to get a more substantial setup, and do more testing, Ill change the star rating accordingly. My current setup is just a Plain white sheet stretched and nailed to a Wood paneled wall (the wall is not 100% True/straight, so that probably affects the image. The brightness is amazing, though it still requires a pretty dark room to see the image clearly, it is possible to view it in a adequately lit environment. I used a Blu-ray player, my Macbook Pro, and Xbox one on this projector, and each time, i was surprised with the quality. Its easily able to play 60FPS videos/content with out any ghosting that I noticed. all in all, for the price, Id say this is easily a steal. the customer support is also very amazing. They have good live support if you contact them through their Facebook page. At the time of my purchase, they were doing a special, where if you give them your Order #, they will send you a gift free of charge. While the gifts are just novelty items, its still something that shows they care about their customers. I would rate their Customer support 5 out of 5 stars. They checked in with me after I received the gift, to make sure I got it, and to check on how the Projector is working out for me.

Perfect projector for the price! Definitely recommend.

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.

It worked great until couple days ago when a stain appeared on the bottom left side of the projected image. The spot appears gradually as the unit warms up, I suppose. And eventually becomes a dark smudge that includes the left side of the screen from top to bottom. I bought this projector slightly less than a year ago.

I would have gave this 5 starts but the unit I received had some contaminant in the lens and could be seen when locus was set at the closest setting. I still gave it a test run while I wait for the replacement. The picture is good for the price point, it looks like 1080, brightness is good. Sound is good, fan noise is moderate. I am still testing this thing out so I will update this later. I do not sellout for gifts either, these are my unbiased experiences with a purchase.

For the price it is good. Fairly cheap and it works as advertised. However if you want real quality I’d recommend coughing up a couple extra hundreds and clearing your head. I bought this to get a cinema-like feel for my house and I was departing from the traditional TV setup. However, it isn’t incredibly picture accurate. You can tell the colors are warped -though not in a massive sense- and the darks are too dark. That’s annoying but livable for the price. BUT the real deal breaker for me was the fan noise. It is really noticeable especially coming from the controlled environment I set up. I will admit that the speaker in itself is very loud and covers it up well and made me regret buying a sound bar but using the sound bar the fan noise is too noticeable and irks you during the movie. Overall, I believe it is a great budget projector but not so great general home theater projector.

I love this projector definitely worth the price. Great resolution it is so clear and I love the fact that you can watch tv during the day or night. The sound is nice an loud since is in my room. I don’t need to connect any speakers or sound bar, unless I move it to my living room. I connected my chrome cast and I have been watching Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, Prime video etc. I am in love with this product I definitely recommend it if you are looking for a projector.

We bought this for our apartment rather than a TV....what a great idea. I watched reviews on youtube first before buying. It makes a huge tv and takes up little space. You can barely hear the fan and the sound that comes from it is awesome. We might still add some more speakers though for surround sound. First thing I put on was a national geographic show to see how well the HD was and wow!...10/10 great buy!

I have wanted a projector for a long time. After doing a lot of research and shopping around, I finally decided to buy this one. This was a wise choice. Im glad I bought it. By looking at those pictures, you can tell how clear it is. Clear imagine with a great price. Believe me, You wont regret your money! This is definitely an item that has improved my mood. I can lie in bed and watch TV on a big screen. It also has a nice plastic cover, so when I dont use it. I can cover the lid, so the dust wont get in. Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase.

I bought this thing for my home theater. It exceeded all of the expectations that I had for it. I could not be more happy with the Picture quality especially for the price. However I would recommend some sort of external audio equipment. The speaker works fine but it does not bring the whole experience together.
