JIMTAB M18 Native 1080P LED Video Projector, Upgraded HD Projector with 300”Display Support AV,VGA,USB,HDMI, Compatible with Xbox,Laptop,iPhone and Android for Academic Display (Dark Star)

This projector is amazing. I got it as a gift for Christmas. It looks super big and bright on my gray wall and the sound quality is good too. You cant see it that well when the lights are on but thats a given. You can also adjust the quality. I use Apple Tv for mine but Im sure you can connect it to a phone or Laptop.

I wanted my first projector so I can dabble in visual projecting for artistic purposes for small projects like mural sketching and ambient illumination for artistic events, but I didnt want to spend a ton, as its not my main work tool. The projector works, is bright enough for my purposes The audio from the projector is also nice and loud, and the fan noise isnt too bothersome. But the edges do get a tad blurry when trying to focus, and of course, as other reviewers have pointed out, the brightness isnt what is described. Im giving it 5 stars because for the price and my purposes its ok. If someday I need something more professional, I will purchase one of the bigger brand names, but as in introductory tool, its great.

This projector is very easy to set up and connected to my phone through an HDMI connector. The quality of the image is pretty good and the sound from the projector made this experience even better. We used this in my sons room which the image is projected to the wall and part of the door, but it didnt affect the experiences at all. I recommended this to anyone who would like to have an addition to their home screen. One more thing is that you dont need to worry about the children starring at the screen all the time, they are actually looking at the wall.

The picture is great. i was going to buy a speaker, but i didn’t need one because the built in speaker is really nice. 10/10

Lets start with this is a really good projector for what it costs but its not watchable in my home theatre. When I first set this up the picture was beyond awful even after adjusting the keystone and focus and I didnt expect it to be great considering the low price. I felt something was wrong with my setup and spent several hours researching before I blamed the projector. I read the digital keystone adjustment lowers the resolution so I lowered my Xbox video output to 720p and that was a huge improvement. From what I read a sharp angle will reduce the quality of the image on most projectors so Im going to fix that as my projector is hanging from a 9ft ceiling when most are 8. I have the projector in an all black room and the image is projected onto a projector screen and its almost unwatchable set at 9ft away from the screen. I think this will be a great projector for the price if its installed where I dont have to use keystone adjustment and its closer to the screen so the projected image is 75 inches or less. Im probably going to return it and get a TV or a more expensive projector. If I dont return it Ill use it for playing movies outside l. Ill update the review after reducing the angle the keystone has to adjust to. Do your research before deciding to buy a projector if you plan to use it everyday. Its not like a TV where you hang it on the wall and your done. This is a more work and higher potential enjoyment scenario. Id like to see this brand create a mid range projector Im very impressed for the money spent but I got what I paid for a budget projector. I tried adjusting it again with a flush mount and than moving it closer so the screen was 75 inches. It looked better but I wasnt feeling it. This is a good projector for the price.

Great picture even with sunlight coming in. Super easy to set up and great audio.

The AVI cable included is much too small for any use, I have seen longer ones and I dont know why an inch long one was included. Other then that the idem seems to work perfectly. I like how for a first one for me personally it seems to work great. I was going to go for a cheaper option, but after watching a few youtube vids I went with what I call mid range price. The picture quality seems fine to me and I like the little remote included as well.

Well, I had a long review written and accidentally lost it by trying to drag an image to the image thing. Here goes again: Youre getting a pretty bright projector for the money. It holds up in day time light so long as a draw a curtain. You can see that I can put two dimmed lamps next to it and it still looks great. Black levels loose a bit of contrast/grey as compared to a normal TV, but thats expected. Software is adequate, I dont think the audio settings do anything based on my testing with headphones. Internal speaker is surprisingly functional, and works on the go and gets the job done. Not something Id want to use regularly though. Keystone adjustment only does tilt, so you need to make sure its mounted squarely if youre doing that. Focus works without issue. Just be sure to measure properly when you go to mount a screen - image size is only going to be worth controlling by physical movement. You have the option to scale the image down in software, but its not a good alternative. Mine arrived with fingerprints visible on the lens when you turned on the unit (cant see them on the screen). Trying to clean them with a microfiber cloth revealed that theyre internal, either in the lens housing on the backside or on the image itself. Im going to have to take the unit apart to clean it properly and am not sure if thatll still give me access to remove them. QA could use a bit of work here. Images here are from a 100 diagonal screen projected on a wall which works perfectly well, but will look better once I mount a screen. Overall, pleased with the purchase, annoyed with the fingerprints.

UPDATE (left the original review below). The replacement had the same issue with Chromecast (crackling sound, sound ahead of picture) while working fine with a Roku. The real problem? I use this for about 1 to 2 hours an evening. This replacement came is early March. It is now early April and in the middle of a film last night the picture died but the sound kept working. I tried all the troubleshooting steps and nope, just a dead visual. Suffice to say, this time its just a return. I guess you really do get what you pay for... And yes, the fan is LOUD. For the price, the picture is fine; probably not true native 1080p, but if youre only looking to spend a couple hundred bucks you could do much worse. The issue here is the sound. The fan is CRAZY loud. But thats not my issue. After about two weeks of using about 2 hours a day for movie nights, the speakers started crackling and popping like when youre on a road trip and youre just starting to get out of range of the radio station youre listening to. Amazon was great about an exchange, so when the replacement comes well see if I just had a bum unit or if this is a product-wide issue. UPDATE So it seems the issue is casting. If I plug a Roku into it, no problem. But a chromecast? Bluetooth? Sounds lags behind the choppy picture. Deciding whether or not this is reason to simply return the product and find something else.

Late 2019: I ran into a couple issues with my first projector where it was making some extra noise when powered on. It sounded like the fans were grinding a bit, this ultimately caused there to be a burn in the light bulb where the center of the screen would be a white circle and the outer edges would be a dark shadow. I also ran into an issue where the projectors sleep timer does not calculate correctly. It would divide the time selected by 5. For example, if you selected for it to sleep in an hour, it would turn off in 12 minutes. The projector is good when it works correctly. The support was great!
