TENKER Upgrade Lumens Q5 Mini Projector, with Big Display LED Full HD Video Projector, Compatible with 1080P HDMI, Fire TV Stick, VGA, USB, AV for Home Theater Entertainment, Party and Games (Black)

Comment

If I could give this projector 10 stars I would!! I bought a mini projector a while ago that was okay but super pixelated and hard to read words that were projected. This projector is the polar opposite. I am so glad we upgraded. The picture is crystal clear and bright. You can adjust the lens in two ways for extra clarity. There is an adjustable tilt as well which helps a lot. The only down side is the speaker. It is good, but could be a little better. You can hook up your own speakers though so no problem there!

This TANKER projector with 800x480 native resolution came in perfect condition, without any kind of damage to the box or the projector itself, it came perfectly accommodated in its package, as can be seen in the pictures attached. Now, about the projector itself. It packs a lot more in this little package then expected, the picture size is just gigantic, and the image quality is really good too. It packs a lot more than what was expected for the price. Good thing about this mini projector: 1. Whats great about this projector is that the image is bright, clear, and sharp. 2. Adjustments for key stoning (making the image square even though the projector is at an angle) are simple and effective. This means you dont have to be "dead on" when placing the projector. 3. Projector is small, very portable, light weight, and built quality is great. You can carry in your laptop bag. 4. Fans of projector are not noisy. 5. Lens is protected by a lens cover. 6. The included remote is clearly labeled and easy to use. 7. Works great with Roku stick. 8. Sound from in built sound system is very clear and bass is also apparent. Bad thing: So far nothing given the cost! Premium & Very nice projector at this price All in all, this is a very good projector, offered at an inexpensive price with 3 years of warranty! Please see attached pictures for the accessories you will receive and video quality.

I highly recommend this projector. I ordered this projector and tested it for a while to ensure it is up to the mark. There are pictures attached of the output, so you can judge the overall picture quality - which is excellent. I used HDMI output from my device to play directly to the projector. I was pleasantly surprised with what this little projector offered. Here is what I found after testing for a few days: Positive things: 1. This is a brilliant little projector with excellent picture quality. So if you are looking for a quality projector, your search ends here. It offers everything the company promises and more. 2. Its small but very powerful. This means you could easily move it around the house, depending on your needs. 3. Multiple connectivity options available; HDMI, VGA, USB, AV connections. 4. You get a remote and an AV cable with the projector Why you may need one: Projectors could be an interesting addition to any home or office. There could be many requirements to get one. If you have kids at home, this could be a good option for kids playing together. For me, this will serve as an extra viewing screen at home which could be used to see a movie with friends or have kids watch cartoons etc. Its rare that you get a good equipment at the right price. This projector is exactly that. Its a projector which offers great quality picture at the price which wouldnt break the bank. If you are in the market for one, I highly recommend this little gem.

This is a very capable entry-level projector, perfect for backyard movies with your kids and family members without breaking the bank. Many other projectors on the market are much more expensive, and most likely will beat the overall performance of this projector, but they will not beat the cost/benefit ratio this unit provides. For less than $100, you receive a projector with many inputs (HDMI, USB, SD, and AV). First impressions of this projector is that it is much smaller than anticipated. It has a really small footprint, and is only about 2 pounds. You dont need to worry about it taking up much room in a closet when not in use. I noticed that the picture quality of this projector is slightly more clear than a few others in the same class that I have tested. All of the models in this range exhibit at least some issue with focus uniformity across the entire picture, but of the models Ive tested I had the best experience with this one in this regard. When you get the focus dialed in on the center of the picture, as you look out toward the edges of the picture, it gets a little more fuzzy and out of focus. If you dial the focus in along the edges, then the center of the picture is softer and a little more fuzzy. For watching movies, this is not noticeable at all. This projector is not recommended for use in a conference room for presentations involving text, you will not be pleased with its performance, the 800x480 resolution is simply too low for this application. For my most recent outdoor movie night, we used this projector on a 110" screen, to watch The Force Awakens, and it looked fantastic. Everyone was very pleased with the picture quality, and I had several of my friends asking me where I got the projector. They were shocked when I told them how much it cost. The 1500 lux output of the projector is nice in a very dimly lit/dark room, or outdoors once the sun has gone down. This is not bright enough to use with the lights on, or outside during the day. I was looking for a projector that I could use outdoors on a spring/summer night to watch movies with my family, so this is perfect for me. There are many settings in the menus including a sound EQ, adjustments to color temperature, white balance, etc...but I found the out-of-box settings to be adequate, and reasonably calibrated already. Nothing worse than taking something like this out of the box and needing to endlessly adjust it until you feel comfortable using it. Having a 5v USB power output port is fantastic because it makes it dead simple to use a FireTV Stick with this projector, as it can power the Fire Stick without needing an extra 110v AC plug for your video streaming device. The HDMI port did work with several other input devices I used with it, all set to 1080p output with no issues. The OS also includes built-in audio and video playback controls for playing movies directly from USB or SD card, and they are intuitive and easy to use. Compatibility is pretty high as well, it played a wide variety of files, I had the best, most consistent luck with mp4 for video. The built-in speaker is pretty weak, but they do include a 3.5mm Aux (Headphone style connector) output. I was able to connect an external speaker to the projector with a long cord and it made it feel like we were at the movies. Make sure you get some sort of external speaker and youll be fine. With the external speaker at the front underneath the screen, and the projector at the rear, the sound coming from both the speaker and projector actually made it have a simulated surround sound, which was unexpected and nice. The projector doesnt have any built-in mounting options, so youll need some platform to place it on, or some way to suspend it from the ceiling. I used a tri-pod with a flat surface on top, and it worked well, I was able to position the projector at the correct height so that the keystone adjustment on the projector was not needed. The projector also comes with a remote control that can be used from behind (IR sensor is on the rear of the projector) to control all aspects of the device. pretty nice touch. The projector does have a fan that can be a bit distracting in an indoor setting, but was barely perceptible when used outdoors. The projector does give off a bit of heat, but not nearly as much as older non-LED projectors did. Again, this would probably be more noticeable in an indoor setting, but not an issue at all outdoors. My overall impression of the projector is that its worth the cost, and is perfect for family gatherings. Sure, curling up on the couch with your kids is easy to do these days with our huge HDTVs and home theater audio systems, but theres something to be said about the bonding experience of spending time outdoors with your kids and family. It feels more intimate, and leaves a more lasting impression I think. Whether you are watching a movie in your backyard, front yard, or if you take it camping with you, youll have a great time.

I have not owed a projector before. I was looking for something simple. That if the light went put or broke I wouldnt be butt hurt by it. After 4 days of research I committed to this Ok this is not bright. 1500 lumens if that (ive read some comments where people say its more like 500. I never owed others so cant verify). It is not HD. And the fan is a loud. I have blackout curtains in my bedroom so this is perfect on brightness. Even with my green leds on the picture isnt bad. Now the lamp on makes it bad. I also have the projector sitting back 10.5 from the wall. Thats bigger than they recommend but honestly it is over whelming. So yes I would recommend the projector. Youre nothing investing any big bucks so you wont be butt hurt if it breaks. And you wont be in a disadvantage when you upgrade later on. Photo 1: no light Photo 2: green leds on Photo 3: my setup *2018-05-05 - been a few weeks since I used the projector. I now have lines on the right side the flash. *2018-05-27 - been trying to reach out to the makers and no response. The white lines have got so bad. *2018-12-02 - Despite my problems being outside the return period. The seller reached out to me with an offer of a refund. The seller stands by their product and insures that all their devices are checked for quality and this may have been an oversight. So I do believe the seller stand by their product because even after 7 months they offered a refund.

This is a great little projector that gets the job done with no frills. I tested it with a VGA connection to my computer to. The resolution would be much better if i connected it to a HDMI port or AV cables (AV cables were included), but it was still an adequate test. Here are the positives and negatives I found: Positives: Incredibly small and light Easy to use Good picture with easy controls on the projector or on remote for fine tuning. Picture was tested with ambient light around and images was still pretty visible. Completely dark room will just add to the clarity of the picture even more-so. Shipment came in sturdy simple box, tightly fit, everything in its own little compartment, very secure. Instructions are clear and in full complete sentences. Refreshing to say the least. Not too loud of a unit while running, basic fan noise you would hear on any projector and this one probably less than the norm (although running it for a longer period of time may create more cooling noise, not sure). Versatile inputs (HDMI, VGA, AV, USB, SD card) Buttons and ports on unit seem sturdy and engineered well. Extremely mobile unit. Very easy to just carry around in a bag. Customer support seems very good. Timely replies via email and very friendly. Negatives (none of which seem serious cons) The dials for focusing and keystone seem cheap a bit. They work but it doesnt feel high quality. Vertical adjustment seems a little cheap too, but also does the job. The lens cap elastic cord is wrapped around the shaft of the Vertical knob so when you turn the knob the cord can get tangled a bit. Not a big deal...but I just disconnected the elastic cord from the knob screw and it was better. Like the creator says, not great for seeing fine-tune word details such as using in a board room meeting to display documents and such. Good for movies, picts, videos, graphs, etc. though. All-in-all, for the price, its good and the pros out way the cons. On top of this, the seller offers a 3 year warranty, has kind/friendly/prompt support, and offers a hassle free return policy, really helping to make this a 5 star product. I would be interested in other products Tenker puts out now.

Pros: Quality of the image is very good for the price.. Easy to set up. Pretty much just plug and play.. Cons: I was hoping I could set this low in the ground and point it up, but it has to be 90 degrees from the projecting surface so it doesnt look distorted. the fan is a little loud. As stated in the description it is not suitable for power point.. any font smaller than 24 will not read in the projection.

UPDATE 7/30/18: After emailing back and forth and sharing a video of what this projector was doing, the company was kind enough to send me a brand new one, free of charge, and I didnt have to send back the old one. While it took a little bit of time between the emails (Im assuming a time difference?), once they realized I had a problem and had tried to fix it on my own, they worked with me to get the problem solved and keep a customer happy. Its hard anymore to find even decent customer service, so I appreciate everything they did. ****************************************************** Bought this back in December 2017, and it was awesome for a bit. We use it fairly regularly (at least every other, if not every, night for 2 hours or so), and have it projecting onto our funky-angled bedroom walls. Its the perfect brightness and was easy to hookup to everything, and I dont find the fan too loud. The picture does blur a little bit if the wall is too far away, even after adjusting the lenses. We now have a grouping of white lines along the right side of the picture projected. Weve tried a different computer and DVD player, but it did not get rid of those lines. I bought the Asurion protection plan when I got this, and havent heard a word from them yet, but Im hoping the lines either fade or we figure out how to make them go away. This is good for a cheaper projector, but definitely go with a different one if you want something that lasts longer.

While Ive not yet tested the device, I did want to indicate that the description of what you are supposed to get is hard to validate. First, I can validate I didnt get what is listed as being in the box on Amazon. Whats in the Box: 1 * Home cinema projector 1 * AV signal cable 1 * Remote control (Battery not included) 1 * HDMI cable 1 * Power cable 1 * User manual 1 * Screw There was no HDMI cable nor Screw (not sure what its for). However, what is in the manual as coming with the device was accurate. Second, the box and documentation has very little to do with the description. There is no obvious model number and the only matching reference to the description of: Projector, Upgraded Lumens TENKER Mini Projector with 170" Display LED Full HD Video Projector, Compatible with 1080P HDMI, Fire TV Stick, VGA, USB, AV for Home Theater Entertainment, Party and Games would be Projector, TENKER, mini Projector, Home Theater. Even the "170" Display LED" is not in the manual nor on the box. The manual does show 70" and LCD, but not 170" and LED (CORRECTION, found the LED light source in manual page 12, and a max display size of 100", but not 170".) NOT SURE I GOT WHAT I PAID FOR.

If you remember how inexpensive this projector is- it is impressive. It is simple to use, has a decent picture (in low light), and the audio with the surround sound option turned on is plenty loud for casual use. I have better and more expensive projectors for more demanding tasks. I got this one for some basic projection mapping of Christmas lights. I didnt want a $ 500 projector on a pole in my front yard, so I got this one. It fits the bill for the task at hand, but I was rather impressed when playing with it for basic movie watching, etc. If you are on a budget and want an inexpensive projector for large scale gaming or movies that is really pretty good, this is a good unit. If you compare it to a projector that cost 5 or 10 times as much, it wont be as good as those are. But it is better than anyone should expect for the price.
