This is a review for the "Artlii Portable DLP Projector with 5200mAh Built-in Battery for Travel and Outdoor, Support 3D and Auto Keystone Correction, Compatible with iPhone and Smartphone." I recently received this projector, and it has been a pleasure to use! It is small and highly portable, with many connectivity options. It is delivered in an elegant package. It was very easy to set up and use right out of the box in about a minute. I am extremely impressed by the sharpness, clarity, vivid colors, and brightness, of the image. It feels like the native image resolution (854*480p per manufacturer) of this little projector is as sharp as, if not sharper than, other projectors that I have used that technically have a higher native resolution. This could be because of the “New DLP” technology advertised by the seller. Pros: Very clear image with vivid colors that is remarkably bright for the size of the projector. Extremely easy to set up and use. Very quiet operation. Less noise than experienced with larger projectors. Multiple connectivity options, including wireless, USB and HDMI. The remote, that is included in the package, activates many on-screen control options and is very easy to use. Using the supplied remote, you can set up and run an entire slideshow directly from a USB drive plugged into the USB port without need for a computer or iOS device (both of which could also be used if needed). The projector can be used while it is directly plugged in to the mains using the USB power supply that is provided in the package. Given the seemingly low power requirements, the projector can also be run using a portable power bank. The recommended projection size is ~90 inches at a distance of 7 feet. However, I felt that the image quality was superb at various distances that were smaller or slightly larger than the recommended distance. Therefore, I feel that it is likely to be easy for most users to have a good and clear image even with different projection conditions and configurations that one might need in different settings. I did some tests holding the projector at different angles and turning it upside down. The projector automatically senses orientation and applies keystone correction automatically too. If you turn it upside down, it immediately projects the image in the right orientation and keystone corrects it! It’s amazing how quickly and well this works. In addition to the power supply and remote that are included with the Artlii projector, the package also comes with a soft, velvet case in which the projector can be carried. Finally, the design uses a recessed lens (with a focus wheel on the side) which means that the lens is more protected from scratches etc. Cons: So far, there are no cons that I have observed. One aspect, that is not a con, is that the image is remarkably bright, but one needs to have realistic expectations. Given the small size of the projector, the brightness is not such that you could view a large image comfortably in a brightly lit room. To see the best image quality, you would do well to have a reasonably lit, or darkened room (I don’t think it needs to be completely dark). I hope that the projector works as well for others as it has been working so far for me. I am happy to try and answer questions if needed.
