This will be the most honest, un-sponsored review youll read. (I DID NOT receive this product for FREE like most of the reviewers here.) To begin, Although the box says "Android" with a picture of the alien, and the remote also has the same thing. THIS PROJECTOR DOES NOT SUPPORT ANDROID! It is a false advertisement. Apparently this is the "basic" version and does not have android support...even though the box says so. Although this projector has a SPDIF (Optical) output jack it DOES NOT AND WILL NOT carry any more than 2 channels of audio (Left and Right speakers). The whole point of a SPDIF output is to carry multiple levels of audio i.e (Right, Left, Center, Sub Woofer, Surround Right and Left) Dolby Digital Surround 5.1 etc. This Projector also has a 3.5mm headphone output jack and a SPDIF output jack...both to my amusement carry the exact same audio. What is the point of there even being a SPDIF output jack if it is useless to my audio receiver. The projector sends a great image in complete darkness (The smallest amount of light pollution will distort the image), the internal projector speakers are a solid 4/10 (Just dont use them ever), and using the SPDIF output only allows me to utilize 2 of my 6 speakers during a movie...thats pretty sad - Dont bother using the projectors SPDIF output, just run the optical cable from your DVD player, game console, PC, etc to your receiver to achieve Dolby Digital sound (or anything more than Left and Right speakers only) - Projector mounted about 13feet back via a ceiling mount. Produces a 120inch screen at 1080p. - Projector needed some color and bright/contrast calibration to achieve accurate colors. - (Photos do not accurately capture the high resolution picture) - Remote has an Android OS alien button on. It does nothing. - The projector has a setting that allows you to update the projectors software. Good luck trying to find the companies website, the files, or anything you need to upgrade the projectors software. It doesnt exist, i looked. - One HDMI input is the worst. Requires you to buy an HDMI selector so you can plug all your HDMI devices into it and select which one you want displayed. - The remote/IR receiver on the projector is absolutely horrible. You literally need to have the remote touching the projectors IR receiver either in the front or the back. It will not work over a distance of 5 feet. - The fans are set to one speed, and one speed only...LOUD. even during no picture the fans are on max setting. (No way to adjust either) Above is a video clip displaying the noise of this projector. - Yes, as mentioned by another, This projector does give off a "burning" smell. - Instruction manual that comes with this projector is so universal that it really doesnt even match up with this projector. ***For the money, Yes you get a 1080p projector. You also get an Apache Helicopter above your head during a movie. In addition, you get AT MOST, left speaker and right speaker audio only. Rest in peace your surround sound system you thought would work with the SPDIF output jack. TIPS: 1) Have a really dark room to achieve the best picture. Then calibrate the colors, brightness, contrast, etc. 2) Buy an HDMI selector if you have multiple input devices. *This: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MWRZFP4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 3) Buy a HDMI to HDMI + SPDIF Output unit that can actually send 5.1 audio to your sound system. *This: https://www.amazon.com/Optical-ROOFULL-Extractor-Splitter-Converter/dp/B01LL5RI3Y 4) Actually use a screen instead of a wall for your picture. *This: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FB6VW1M/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
