    Nice review. If u place it off to the side does the horizontal keystone adjust automatically? And will it make the projected image blurry on one side ?

    • @9to5toys
      @9to5toys  2 роки тому

      Thanks! The horizontal keystone is manual. You have to dig into the menus and set that up. if you're at the limits of what it can do for horizontal viewing (I think like 40 degrees? Not sure of the exact number) one side of it can get a little out of focus. For the most part, though, it didn't bother my family when watching media this way. Hope this helps!

    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.

      @kaulikelani4937 2 роки тому +1

      I don't own one, but I've been doing my research to find the projector I want. From what I understand, the keystone and focus should be done automatically, you just have to point it within the 40 degree limit and it auto focus/ keystone is not available in gaming mode.

    Thank you! I got the Nebula Capsule Max, but I am pretty disappointed with the quality, and I will go for the XGIMI Halo. Sure, there is a significant price difference between them, but the picture quality is too important. I used to have the XGIMI Horizon and gave it up due to the size. I wanted something more practical to carry with me. I hope that wouldn't be disappointing now when I get the Halo and not the Horizon again. Thank you for the great review. It was very helpful!

      @@Asmaa-jn7mh the new model is Halo+ (improved feature is adjusting the corners to fit the wall size). The quality is great. If it worth the price is really a subjective answer. For me it was worth paying 300 EUR more than the Nebula. But I don’t know if ever one would agree with that.

      Depends on the game. For me, in game mode, racing games and more casual games were great on a large screen like this. The input lag wasn't good enough for more competitive FPS games, though.
