WiMiUS P28 Projector

Purchased this projector to use with a screen on an outdoor, covered porch ant it works perfectly for our needs! We received the projector quickly and it was well packaged. We took it out of the box, plugged it in, plugged in an external hard drive and we were very quickly able to access the media on the drive and play it. Super simple to setup and get going! We have also been able to connect to a laptop via HDMI and mirror the laptop screen onto the projector. Focus and tilt were easy to use/adjust. I think the picture quality and brightness is GREAT (especially for the price). We purchased a cheaper projector first (because we didn't understand lumens/lux/ansi levels at all!). The first projector did not work for us because we could not see anything on the screen until it was pitch black out. We weren't expecting to be able to watch movies, outdoors, in the middle of a bright day, but we were hoping we could start a movie after the sub had started to set (even if the picture wasn't great). This projector, however, exceeded our expectations! We can start our movies before the sun has fully set and still get a great picture. We've used the projector for several evenings in a row and no issues yet. My only minor criticism is the speakers aren't amazing. I think they are a perfectly acceptable level of quality (especially for the price!). I think they are great for watching indoors, but outdoors, with a bit more ambient noise, it would be nice if they were a tad bit louder/clearer (but, again, perfectly adequate!). No bid deal though, we're planning to purchase portable, external speakers to use with the projector. I would highly recommend this projector for anyone looking for something a bit brighter than the cheapest possible projectors.

I never owned a projector before, but I wanted one for occasional movie nights or watching playoff games occasionally. I did not buy this to replace a television for daily viewing. If you want a good projector for watching movies and sports in a dim environment, you will not be disappointed in this projector. It is listed as 7000 lumens, but anyone who's done the research knows that lumens are grossly exaggerated by many manufacturers. Wimius also lists the ANSI lumens as 1000. ANSI lumens are a more reliable standardized measure of lumens, and I am very happy that Wimius discloses this more reliable measure. 1000 ANSI lumens is the minimum brightness recommended for a home theater system, so this projector does qualify as a legitimate home theater projector. I tried the projector in my basement in the afternoon, where there was some ambient light coming from a nearby window, and the picture was surprisingly bright. But the projector really shines in a darkened room. The color, brightness and contrast exceeded my expectations. You will not be happy with this projector nor any other projector at this price point if you are hoping to use it in a brightly lit room, so it may not be the best choice for business purposes. If I have to nitpick anything, it's that this projector does not have a leveling screw on the bottom to adjust the tilt when it is sitting on a table, but I understand that's the case with many projectors sold nowadays. One big reason I feel comfortable buying and recommending this projector is Wimius. There are lots of other companies that make inexpensive projectors (maybe they're all the same company), but Wimius has an actual working website and a customer service department that responds to emails. That may not be the truest test of a company's reputation, but I would not want to buy from a company that has no website or has a website that is barely functional. Overall, this is an inexpensive projector with good build quality, excellent picture quality, and very good brightness for the price point.

I purchase it to experience the "big screen" feeling. The projector is easy to set up. A good screen and proper installation is a must to go with the projector. A good sturdy projector stand will make the set up more convenient. To enhance the experience, you need an external speaker system to fully enjoy it. The build in speaker is decent for presentation but it is not loud enough for action and music. I used a portable Altec Lancing speaker/subwoofer combo which is just right. I do have a home theater sound system and chose not to use it to avoid the cumbersome wiring effort. The projector image is clear at enter but not at the edges as described in the manual. I did not expect the picture quality to be as good as the LCD TV. The brightness and the crispness of the projector is no comparison with the TV but the price is only about 1/10 of the TV. I can barely see the project image in a room during the day that has all the blinds closed. At night, with minimum ambient light, the picture is great from the distance of 12 feet away, the crispness is not important. I feel the external sound system is important because at least your audio experience is fulfilled. We watched a movie on it and feel it s worth the money and effort for a crowded audience. and large screen experience.
