【Auto Focus & Keystone】 1080P HD Portable Projector, WiFi6 Bluetooth 5.2 Projectors, YABER Pro V9 Smart Projector, Home Cinema Projectors for Bedroom/Smartphone/TV Stick

I bought this projector after having used a cheaper projector for just over 12 months.The other projector had a noticeably lower resolution, so I wanted something that was more clear.I bought a different brand of projector before this Yaber one. Unfortunately it was damaged so it had to be returned.NoiseTo start with, I can say that all three projectors make about the same amount of noise. This is from the fans to keep cool. It is certainly noticeable. I have an app on my phone that measures sound. Obviously this is not calibrated but at least gives a frame of reference. With the projector on, and about 5 ft above and slightly behind me, it registers 50 dB. When I switch it off, this drops to 30. Seems pretty standard for projectors in this price range.FocusThe autofocus setting is excellent. You can fine tune it. I have tried the smallest increment up and also the smallest increment down. In each occasion I went back to the original setting that the projector had selected.I use the projector everyday, and it is in the same place, pointed at the same wall, so there is no reason to adjust the settings. By default, the projector sets the focus every time it switches on. I have turned this off. To save time, and also to save wear and tear. (I have a small security camera that used to do this as well and after a few years it broke down.)PictureThe picture is very clear. When it says 1080p, I'm not sure this is quite right. I have watched a few things at 720p, and this is only slightly more blurry than the same thing at 1080p. Nonetheless it is a very good picture. With cheaper projector that I used for the last 12 months, there was no point in going above 480p. Nothing improved beyond that. Despite the other projector saying that 1080p was supported. With this projector, I do recommend using the 1080p option on YouTube etc.I have the projector just behind my bed, projecting onto the wall at the foot of my bed. So the projection distance is less than 7 ft. Because of furniture and curtains, I have reduced the size of the projection to 96% of maximum. It is now the equivalent of a 69 inch TV. As I say it could be bigger, and if I was projecting from a greater distance onto a bigger wall, obviously even bigger again.It is surprisingly bright. Compared to the last projector it is so bright that I have actually turned the brightness down. In a dark room, it is almost a bit overwhelming.FunctionalityIf you play about in the settings, you can get the projector to switch on and select a particular HDMI port. It has two. This means that all you need to do is turn it on and it is projecting from your TV stick or whatever. There is no need to select HDMI or make any changes to the settings. Power on and go.The projector interfaces well with HDMI. I use a fire TV stick. You can press the Alexa button on the remote control and tell Alexa to turn the projector on or off. To turn it off you have to say it a second time as switching off is a two-step process.You can press the Alexa button and say turn up the volume or turn down the volume to adjust the volume. This only works for the volume on the projector. If you link a fire TV to an echo dot for example, the volume that is adjusted is the volume of the projector, even though those speakers are not being used if you are using an echo dot.The projector has two speakers. These are at the back of the projector and face backwards. Turned up to maximum, again using my phone sound app, the volume shows as 89 dB. Loud enough. Setting the volume to 66% of maximum seems comfortable. 50% is a little low.Remote controlThe fire TV stick remote has infrared options. To set, either scroll down to set up the projector as Yaber TV (scroll to the very bottom of the TV options when doing this) or the IR code is 5575, group 2.This means that you can program a fire TV remote to switch the projector on and off. And also change the volume.The fire TV stick remote works much better for the volume control than Alexa voice commands. If you are using the projector speakers, the remote will adjust the projector volume. If you are using an echo dot, the remote will adjust the echo dot volume.To switch it off there is a two-step process. Just press power button twice. You don't need the OK button from the Yaber remote.Overall I think this is an excellent projector for the price. The picture is clear and bright. The cheaper projector was noticeably more blurry and pixelated and did not interface with the remotes properly. Also there were more steps to get everything switched on and onto the correct screen. With this projector I just need one remote to run the whole thing and many of the instructions can be verbal so just one button. The one and only downside is that it is a little bit noisy. That is not unique to this projector and to avoid that I think means spending a lot more money.

After 8 years my JmGO projector decided to retire so my initial research to decide on a replacement led me to expert online reviews, but most of the recommended machines were either super expensive or had their own limitations. So instead I decided to look in Amazon for sth in my intended price range and filter for top buyer reviews in Amazon. This is how I ended up chosing Yaber and I have no regrets. This is unbelievable value for money with decent sound and a really good, bright, crisp picture. I only use the white wall in my bed room and was surprised how much better the picture was compared to my old JmGO. The most amazing features are keystone and auto focus. It makes it so easy to adjust the picture, even with my unusual constraints at home (projector is 5.5m away from wall but screen size had to be max 2.5m. The menu is easy to navigate. I can also do screen mirroring with both Android and iPhoneiPad. Plus, this marvel comes with a 3 year warranty. Can't get any better.

The media could not be loaded. In this price range you’re not going to find a better projector, Im quite picky but Im pleased overall with this one and it makes watching stuff a whole different experience. Honestly its a joy to watch films and series again on this. It comes with a cool little rucksack for it and all the needed cables and cleaning bits. Pro tip - hang on to the lens protector they ship with and use it to protect from dust settling on the lens.I’ll give you the benefits and any drawbacks below:Positives:Very bright, copes with ambient sunlight well enough.Auto focus and remote control focus are good, if you’re mounting on a shelf it saves reaching up for adjustments.Picture quality is great sound quality is good too but I recommend bluetooth speakers for the full experience. It pairs and connects to mine easily.Connectivity is fine, 2 HDMIs and USB plus WiFi and mirroring options & more. At this price thats very good.Colour quality is decent, it does differ from the source but you can select picture modes and adjust to taste. Again don’t expect a high end cinema quality projector at this price just appreciate what you’re getting for the money and its more than good enough.It runs quiet with a low fan noise which is good.There are access panels should you ever need to clean dust off the internals or blow air through to do so.Slight negatives:In darker scenes theres some ghostly letterboxing around the picture this isn’t usually visible and Im being picky pointing it out. But it is there. It seems the projector has a bigger picture capability than what its using for my source and you can sometimes see this around the picture when the room is very dark. This will be more so the case when you’re using more extreme keystone (like me) and it wol be with most widescreen formats to differing degrees.Also I don’t think the manual focus screen is good there’s not enough detail on it to get the right focus.All that being said this is your choice at this price point and that’s coming from someone who trawls the internet and amazon and tries different products before setting. The only way you’ll get better is paying more for a name brand and most of us aren’t gonna have the home setup to make that worthwhile.
