I have had this little projector for over a month. PROs It is compact, when it works well, it works mostly very well. The speaker is "nahhh" but you dont expect great speakers in projectors. It does its job well. It has batteries although they dont last much unless you have the light source in Eco. It isnt heavy and mostly delivers. CONS 1. At least mine has some issues connecting correcly to the cable box. The image is fine, but sound works sometimes, and some other times it does not. The same HDMI source, when used on my old OPTOMA HD projector or on my LED TV always works fine. So the issue is the projector. I took the time of writing to AAXA before writing this review. We exchanged emails with a nice guy called Michael. Most of the time he tried to explain how everything worked and the problem was just mine. After going back and forth 9 times, I finally gave up. He was very nice to apologize but then again, he said that there must be a compatibility issue between my Cable box and the unit (again, the problem was mine and not the units). As I explained to him in my last email before giving up, I get sound, another days I dont...on, off...if it is incompatible, it just does not work since the software cannot "work out issues" (it is not a programmer, it is just a program), so it will not work out what is wrong. If it works sometimes, and sometimes it does not (while everywhere else the connection is always fine), then it is either an issue with the HDMI imput or with the projectors software. Thats it. So we agreed to disagree. 2. Other annoying little issues: a. I put the lamp in BOOST mode, and the projector, on its own, brings back brightness to Standard within 10 minutes. It will just not stay on BOOST (brightest) b. Focus is very annoying. It is just a short wheel. So if you miss the exact spot, you are off focus. ALSO, if you have it working with the tripod it comes with and listening loudly with the onboard speaker, it will shake enough to move it and to get it off focus. I have to get up every 20 minutes to refocus. c. This is common of all these small projectors, the interface works but it is awful, and the remote is just garbage. OVERALL: It is still a nice little projector and it delivers a lot for your buck. It is just full of little nagging issues which very much detract from what could be an enjoyable experience. Their service department is responsive but I wish it tried to solve issues instead of, very politely, trying to convince the user that there is nothing wrong with the unit... Just because it works, and it is bright (although very often only when it feels like it) and has sound (again, mostly when it feels like it)... 3 Stars.
