GROVIEW Projector, 15000lux 490ANSI Native 1080P WiFi Bluetooth Projector, 300'' Video Projector, Supports 4K & Zoom, 5G Sync, Compatible with HDMI USB/ AV/ Smartphone/ Pad/ Laptop/ DVD/ TV Stick/ PS5

I purchased this to replace a broken flat screen TV. I'm projecting onto a high quality 60" diaganol screen. The image is as sharp, clear and the color is vibrant. I dont feel like i compromised by not getting another tv. I discovered by accident that the quality of the screen can make a big difference. Take time to fine tune brightness, contrast, color and tint - easily accomplished with the onscreen menu. I dont know how it would perform on a 100 or 300" screen. On the 60" it looks more than good in a partially lit room and incredible in a dark room. The fan is quiet and not a distraction at all. The only weakness is the sound. Although the built in speaker is adequate, I was not able to get a true 2 channel stereo from an external sound bar. That can be remedied by using the audio output of the source such as a DVD or Blu-ray etc. The focus is manual. The keystone correction is also manual and limited in scope so placement will take some thought. I have the projector on my coffee table and the keystone works fine for an eye level screen. I still give this 5 stars because of the image quality at this price point. Their customer service is also top notch. Replies are immediate and the service is personal and helpful.

After some light research, I decided to go with this projector and I am glad that I did. The price was affordable and the specs seemed good enough. I am writing this after 2 years of regular use in an out door environment. I am not a projector expert, but a casual user, so this review is not technical, but practical. The projector is lightweight and was easily set up in my gazebo and paired with my Amazon speaker. The screen is about 10ft distance from the projector. The user interface takes a little time to get used to, but it is quite simple and intuitive for someone new to projectors. The picture quality is good and I have even watched 3-D movies using it. Of course the picture is better in complete darkness, but the lamp is strong enough to cast onto the screen with my gazebo lights. I had a problem with the remote control. The batteries leaked lead and and ruined the remote. I contacted their customer service after 2 years of the purchase and they completely took care of me 100% !!My satisfaction with this product and company is 5 stars! I shared some photos of my set up.

I purchased this model, JQ818C, for $140 and then immediately afterward noticed there was a "newer version", RD881, on sale--normally $160, but at $70 off, it was $90. So I ordered that too, to see which I liked better. This review compares the two models, with a specific focus on my desired use as a cheap home theater with an Amazon Fire stick streaming device. JQ818C is brighter, but bigger and with louder fan noise. Its ports are on the back, and controls are on top near the back. Keystone correction is rudimentary -- seems like it just basically tilts the lens up/down a bit. If you're seeing a trapezoid where the top and bottom are parallel, you will be able to adjust that a little to make it more square. But if the sides are parallel instead, no adjustment is available, which means you need the projector to be aligned horizontally with the center of your screen. RD881 is noticeably dimmer, but also smaller and with a quieter fan. Its ports are on the right side, and controls are on top near the back. It has more advanced keystone correction, which means you don't have to have the projector aligned with the screen either vertically or horizontally. Unlike JQ818C, RD881 comes with an attractive grey padded carrying case. Both projectors have a nice crisp image for the price, and both allow some degree of zooming in to get the projection to fit your screen. Both have a small adjustable "foot" on the bottom in front to tilt the projection upward a few degrees if needed. Both can be mounted on table or ceiling. Both use the exact same remote -- in fact, one remote turned on both machines when I didn't intend it to. They have significantly different UIs for settings, setup, etc. I liked the UI on RD881 better. Compatibility with fire stick: Both work fine with fire stick. If you have two Amazon Echo speakers, fire stick can be set to automatically pair with them, which results in easy, decent-quality stereo sound. Fire stick needs to be inserted into not only the HDMI port, but also into a USB port to supply it with power. Some USB ports on TVs/projectors don't provide enough power for the stick to work, in which case you need to plug the USB end into AC power (wall outlet). This is true for JQ818C but NOT for RD881. I.E. Fire stick can use RD881's USB for its power, but with JQ818C, it has to plug in to the wall. Supposedly Amazon makes a special USB cord to address this situation. I have one pending delivery so will update this review with info on whether that resolves the issue. Since RD881's ports are on the side, it stays with a nice short depth, so it sticks out less if you mount it on the wall. With the firestick plugged in to the side port, total *width* including the stick becomes about 12". Since JQ818C's ports are in back, the depth gets longer with the firestick in, for a total *depth* of about 12" including the stick. I am leaning heavily toward JQ818C because of the better brightness in a not-all-the-way-dark room. I plan to mount it from the ceiling but haven't done so yet. If the picture is still good from that angle, JQ818C will be the winner for my needs. UPDATES: the special fire stick USB cable did successfully get enough power out of the USB on the JQ818C. Here's a link to that cable: https://a.co/d/3ecY3sk Unfortunately, when I mounted the JQ818C up as high as I needed it, the downward angle meant the image couldn't be fully focused (either the top half of the image was in focus or the bottom half, but never both). This was a deal breaker so I settled for the dimmer, but otherwise great (and correctly focused) RD882.

After a long time of searching for a good budget projector, i decided to give the GROVIEW JQ818C a shot. I must say it has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and functionality. Not only does it provide an immersive viewing experience, but the customer service I received throughout my purchase journey was top-notch. Even though i live in Germany, The product was delivered within 2 Weeks. I also received a couple of messages from GROVIEW customer support as they wanted to make sure that everything is running smoothly and to ask if i need any assistance. The projector's picture quality is truly remarkable. Every image and video displayed is sharp, vibrant, and rich in detail. The projector offers a really wide range of connectivity options. This versatility allows me to connect various devices seamlessly, making it incredibly convenient to enjoy content from different sources. The inclusion of built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity further enhances the projector's usability. I can effortlessly connect my smartphone or tablet to the projector and stream content wirelessly, eliminating the need for additional cables or adapters. Throughout my purchase experience, I was impressed by the exceptional customer service provided by GROVIEW. The friendly and knowledgeable support staff promptly addressed my queries and concerns, ensuring that I had a smooth and satisfactory experience. Their willingness to assist and provide guidance made me feel valued as a customer. In summary, the GROVIEW Projector has proven to be an excellent investment. Its outstanding picture quality, wide range of connectivity options, and seamless wireless streaming capabilities have transformed my entertainment experience. Coupled with the fantastic customer service, I can confidently recommend this projector to anyone searching for a projector in this price range.

I was not compensated or offered anything in exchange for this review—I paid full price and have been using this projector for a couple of months now. Honestly, I’m blown away every time I use it. The picture quality is impressively clear, even if the room isn’t completely dark. While the image is better in a dark room (as expected for this type of product), you can still see everything clearly even with some light. Initially, I thought there was an issue with the projector because my FireStick kept freezing when I used it. I contacted customer service, and they were incredibly helpful—Catherine, in particular, was so sweet and attentive. They asked for more details and ended up sending me a brand-new projector at no cost! I later upgraded to the latest generation FireStick, and it worked perfectly with my original projector. Their customer service is hands down the best I’ve ever experienced—I never thought I’d feel “warm fuzzies” from an email exchange, but they made it happen. We just project the image onto a white wall, no fancy screen required. Even with our slightly textured wall, the picture quality is fantastic. If you’re shopping for a projector, I’d recommend stopping here—this one is a winner. If you want to make it a smart TV, the latest generation FireStick works seamlessly. We also connected it to a soundbar via Bluetooth, and now our family movie nights feel like we’re in a theater. It’s been such an awesome experience!

I did a lot of research on these lower cost projectors and I finally decided on this Groview 15000 lumen projector. I was skeptical because of the research I did. I wasn't expecting it to be very bright. However it is brighter than expected. I did also purchase a 100 inch screen that provides a 1. 1 lumens gain. But the screen is bright enough to clearly see the screen in the daytime and also with lights on at night. Now of course if you want to watch a movie it's going to be best in an almost dark room, but I didn't expect it to be that bright in the daytime. I would recommend if you are going to get this also get a screen that provides a brightness gain. Now a couple of things I'm not crazy about. The fine tuning on the brightness and contrast are not great. I often feel to provide a good contrast ratio the picture looks too bright and washes out some detail. It just depends on the source and the movie. I also don't like the miricast feature or the airplay option, because airplay doesn't work with streaming services or even your own movies in a digital library like vudu. These do work if you are using an android phone but still clunky. Also there is no way to cast audio to my Sonos Arc if using miricast or airplay. This is because there is no hdmi arc/eArc support. If you are trying to get audio back to a Sonos system, you will need an atmos audio extractor and a 2 way hdmi splitter if you want to also run video back to a TV in the same room for regular every day viewing. They also make it look like there is a way to correct keystone horizontal and vertical, but it's vertical only. This was just my first entry into projectors. Once I have a dedicated room for my theater I will be upgrading to a expensive native 4k projector. But for the price point this is a great entry level projector. Now we will see how long it works without issues. The pictures above were taken after installation with a ceiling mount. They were taken with some lights on in the room.

Bigger than expected, fan noise is loud, no tripod mount...will need to mount it to a large stand. If you have a private network with a hidden SSID then you will need to broadcast the SSID because this has no support for hidden networks...it only scans and connects to SSIDs that are broadcasting. I tried to connect to it and then hide the network but it doesn't find it, sometimes that works with other devices that don't allow you to input custom networks, but not with this thing. If you want to hide your network I suggest you connect a Roku or other streaming device to it and connect to that instead of its internal Wi-Fi. The keystone adjustment is manual and it doesn't adjust very much at all I could not get it perfectly proportioned. You also have to manually focus it ...nothing is digital as far as keystone or Focus. And last but not least and why I returned it is that this was sold to me as a new product but it was clearly not new since I got it in a scuffed up broken box it wasn't even shrink-wrapped clearly it had been opened and used and returned! Not sure if I should blame the seller for this or blame Amazon for selling it to me as a new product and not labeling it as an open box or used. In any case, the 3 stars of for the product itself not the delivery and lie that it was new when it was clearly used....for that I will give the seller a separate rating.

Absolutely blown away by the picture quality of this projector! I was worried about how it would handle a room with a bit of ambient light, but the brightness is impressive and the colors are incredibly vibrant. Setting it up was a breeze—it’s essentially plug-and-play. It has completely transformed our movie nights into a full-blown cinema experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their home setup!

Read through a whole lot of projectors before I zeroed in on this one. Great image quality in the dark.

Working great. Connectivity is very nice. Not getting heated up. So far so good.

I used to have a home theater setup about 15 years ago, wasn't really using anymore and got rid of everything when I moved in to my new house! Kind'a gettin' the itch again... but did not want to spend a couple of grand on it. It would be for occasional movie watching in a light controlled basement living room. So I figured based on reviews and several youtube videos I would give this one a try! First of all, manage your expectations!! this is not a 3000$ 4k laser projector, nor does it try to be! I used to have a panasonic PT-AE700 (2500$ back in the day) wich was 1000 lumens and 720p. What you get with this little magic box is amazing... resolution is great and it's really bright in a dark room. Doesn't feel quite as bright as my old projector but the bump in resolution is instantly noticable and the overall image is better. The good: - Only 150$ on special with coupon... OMG!!! Less expensive that a new buld for my old projector!! - Great picture quality, brightness, resoluton and color accuaracy (Mind bogglingly good for the price!!) This rivals projectors in a much higher price range! - Connectivity is good 2xHdmi, 2xUSB, A/V and Bluetooth - Built in speaker is actually usable, pretty lound and sounds ok for poratbility. - Remote control is well made and usefull. - Great brightness up to 100"-120" - Easy and usefull setup menu. The less good: - For absolutely perfect focus, projector lens must be perfectly centered with the screen, there is no throw angle built in. So you must use the manual keystone ajustement, I does work but the more you angle the projector with the screen, the less in focus the top and bottom of the picture will be. So you have to compromise a little bit between sharpness and squareness of the picture. So table top and ceilling mounting will be top/bottom blurry if the throw angle is to strong. More obvious with text and less in a movie. - Fan is definitely audible in quiet situations, but with movie sound you don't hear it. - No optical zoom, so throw distance is fixed! 8'4" for an 80" screen in my setup, you can use digital zoom down to 50% for further distance, but that reduces resolution and overall brightness. - Does not have a 1/4" tripod mount hole, only 4 screw projector mount. (would of been nice) - Very usable in a dimly lighted room, brighter lighting for bright stuff like sporting events is doable! Got a VIVO 80" pull down screen for 100$ on special! Now have a home theater setup for less that 300$ total!! Unbeleivable value!! EDIT: Update 8 months in... Still going strong, I absolutely love this thing. What a great purchase!! EDIT2: It is now being used as my primary TV!! I'm buying a second one for backup, in case this one dies!

as good as a home projector can get

Muy contento con el producto. OJO no es un proyector profesional, pero si tu intencion es poner Netflix, Karaoke y reuniones informales funciona de maravilla. El bluetooth es funcional aunque si se percibe un delay, el sonido del proyector es funcional pero cualquier otra bocina que le conectes funcionaria mucho mejor. A pesar de esos detalles este proyector cumple su funcion muy bien y por su precio yo lo recomiendo
