I have never written a review. This is a review for the EUG Full HD 1080p 3600 Lumens LCD LED I put the make and model or full discreption because sometimes the reviews that amazon has are not for the right product it might be the right brand but not the right model you have to be really careful reading reviews it drives me crazy. This was my 2nd Projector from Amazon. Let me give some history. I was builing a theater room in our basement I was going to wait a for the 80and85 in TVs to come down in price I was never a fan of projectors but a friend of mine had just replaced his old projector with a new LED projector and talked me into trying one out I couldnt believe how affordable these new projectors are. March 2016 from Amazon I first bought a projector that was 2800 lum with 1500:1 ratio supported 1080p for $170 along with a $30 100inch screen. It was better than I expected. I was sold on the projectors. I was not going to worry about trying any more projectors. I will admit Im kind of picky about picture quality. The more I watched and adjusted, I just couldnt quite get the darks adjusted the way I like them even though the overall picture quality was great for $170. I just wanted a little better contrast. In Dec 2016 I was curious and looked again and found this one the EUG Full HD 1080p 3600 Lumens LCD LED Its specs were a little better than mine even though it was a different brand I could tell it was the same projector just under a different brand. I decided to try it out and yes it is just like my first one I even used my old remote. This projector was more than double the price of my first projector and that doesnt mean it was double the quality But they had deffantly updated the electronics dark contrast and even the colors were better and a little sharper. I am very happy with this purchase. I wont upgrade until they come out with a 4KLED projector. Just a few helpful important side notes and there are pros and cons to everything. The pictures were taken with my note 4 and the projector is better than the pictures I posted. It is important that you know exactly how your going to be using a projector if you need to use it in a well lighted room LED projectors the darker the room the better the picture. When I was looking for a projector I was reading that the keystone adjustment make the picture blurryg the more you have to adjust it with alot of these cheaper LEDs I made sure that when I hung my projector that I wasnt going to have use the keystone adjustment, and yes is does distort the picture using the keystone adjustment. I also read that the screen size is totally dependant on how far away or close your projector is. So I hung my projector exactly were it needed to be for a 100inch screen. Yes you can here the fan but I am watching it with a home theater sound system I do not notice it when Im watching a show. Also I may just be tuning it out. It doesnt bother my family the didnt even think about the noise. But yes they are kids and dont always pay attention to those kind if things. Speaking of kids one of the reasons I bought LED projector the LED light is suppose to last 30000-50000hrs. Most bulbs projectors are 3000-5000hrs. My kids leave the projector on all the time. I bought this to work with my Roku 4 and WiiU throgh an Onkio reciever and so the built in android system was not important to me in my application. We watch all our movies through our plex media server Netflix ext ext.. I dont know why anyone would want to use the speaker on a projector. Some reviewers gave this a 1 star I just dont know how this projector deserves a 1 star and yes I did purchase the projector and am using it. I understand that there may be times we may get a product that is diffective. When I bought my first projector I actually ordered 2 different brands and 1 of the 2 I ordered was defective 1of the 2 HDMI input and remote didnt work I sent it back but I didnt feel a need to total trash the product it my have been a fluke. If money is know option then Im sure you can buy a better projector. If your looking at price I dont know if I would buy an LED projector less than a $100 for a theater room all the reviews and specs I read they just werent bright enough or support native 1080P. But I if you were to buy one like my first one $150-$200 they have a great picture for the price. I didnt give the brand that I first bought because its no longer available but here is I believe one that replaced mine with similar specs and price: Excelvan CL720 Home Theater Projector (3000 Lumens,1080P Resolution ) $160 If you can spend 350 depending on your needs you cant go wrong with the EUG Full HD 1080p 3600 Lumens LCD LED. They have lots of other models as well I just dont know enough about them. Good Luck.
