    This video outlined the initially marketed (incorrect) 1100 ANSI brightness from the website, however the website marketing has been corrected to 500 ANSI for this product. These are just stats and do not impact the rest of the contact of this video

      @@plawsworth I have this projector now and the lag is much better then it was on his tv. It looked like he had at least 70-100ms of lag.
      When I have game mode on and keystone off I get something like 35ms, it feels like that for me. I don't understand how they advertise this having only 12ms?. anyway even at 35ms it's still totally playable.

    This projector gets the job done pretty well. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxS9P8zTOcmQg-hH0QeUi3dspOLyYgQ6dH Bear in mind it's a mini projector but all things considered the picture quality is pretty good. The attached photo is of the projector projecting onto my white closet doors. I still have not messed with the settings but I can't wait for our first family movie night on a larger scale. If you have issues with volume not working with your firestick, go into volume settings and you will find your solution there.

    Hello,
    Congratulations for your work and your channel.
    I’ve received my S5 end of last week, and in fact my unit must not me working properly. The focus is not good (ok in the center, but not in the borders), text never seems to be clear, and pixels are so visible that it even looks like it’s not a 1080P projector.
    I’m trying to speak to NothingProjector, but they’re feedback and info is almost inexistente.
    I look at your review and to what I see in my projector, and it seems to completely diferente devices.
    Really worried about how this will end…
