I find it sad that there wasn’t as many positive reviews for this product as it deserves. This is my first ever projector at 36 and I love it. I am picky when I buy something, I’m not rich at all but am willing to pay extra for quality if it is worth it in the long run.It took a few purchases to find the right one, there aren’t many reviews out there for this and this brand was unknown to me. Dangbei has been making projectors for awhile now and was my favorite. I compared it to 4 other popular portable projectors. 2 were on the pricier side $1k + , 1 in the middle price (Atom was one of them) and 2 cheaper in price range below $500 but quality should be as good. I’m not going to name the brands bc my review is for this, I kept one on the cheaper side for ultra portability but quality not as solidFinding the right projector for me was tricky and what’s right for me might not be for you. You can Google, what are the best portable projectors? It’s really what is important to you, to me cost, screen brightness and clarity, focus and screen adjustment, short throw, portability, ease of use were important. Also important to have Netflix and YouTube apps on itI found so many cool nice and really impressive portable projectors but if all I can do is project what is from my phone or need a dongle connected to it for it to play Netflix, it is not portable enough for me.I thought paying for a more expensive bulkier one had great picture but I want to be able to play my picture on the ceiling or wall whenever I want with easeDangbei’s Atom hit all the marks and I love it. It is very easy to use, less than 3lbs, bright picture that is good enough for me to use in my room with 3 semi-opened windows. It is a little more than I would’ve wanted to pay but really worth itThey have a case, 3D glasses and projector stand, I personally recommend them all. If you are on a budget buy a compatible case for half the price but invest in their gimbal stand made for their Atom projector. You can play video at almost any angle, I was hoping to find one similar and wish it folded into it itself otherwise it’s very good quality, sturdy, holds the picture and projector well at most angles.Connecting it was easy, the remotes control took minute to get used to with the two side buttons but love it, one is to adjust the focus and the other for settings.*Although it’s considered portable it does not have a rechargeable battery- most small projectors with rechargeable batteries sacrifices certain qualities to make up for the battery space

This is the best projector that I have ever had. The automatic focus feature is neat. The images are bright and clear and saturated and in focus across the entire screen for both text and movies. There is no laser speckle. I could do work on the projected screen as an external monitor. I recommend getting a camera tripod that is about 3 feet or 1 meter high. You might also want to buy a projector screen if you do not have one, because a projector screen is not included. I purchased the Dangbei Atom projector and Dangbei 3D glasses combination. The package includes 2 AAA batteries that you have to put in the remote control by sliding down the back of the remote control about 3 millimeters and then pulling the back of the remote control off to reveal the battery compartment. The 3D movie viewing experience, once you get it working, is better than using the PlayStation VR headset on the PlayStation 4. Unlike the PlayStation VR headset, there are no screen door video artifacts when you view 3D images projected by the Dangbei Atom projector. That PlayStation VR headset is heavy and squeezes my head like a vise while the Dangbei 3D glasses are comfortable and light and feel like a pair of sunglasses. The only downside is the totally unintuitive multi-step process for viewing 3D videos or movies. You have to first charge your 3D glasses by plugging the small end of the USB cable under the nose piece and plugging the bigger end into a powered USB A port in a computer, a powered USB hub, or a USB AC adapter. The light in the white button on the 3D glasses will be red at first and will eventually go off when it is fully charged. After the glasses are charged, you press the white button on the glasses once to turn it on. You hold down the button for 3 seconds or so to make the button blink 3 times and turn the 3D glasses off. The glasses also seem to turn off automatically if they do not see a 3D image for a while. You have to hold down the Home (white house) button on the right side of the remote control, navigate to Projector / Image Correction / Reset to Default Image. You can then press the white left arrow button until you exit the menus. I don't understand why the user has to do this. This should be done automatically for the user any time they attempt to activate the 3D setting. You make selections by pressing the center depression of the circular control on the remote control that lets you move up, down, left, or right in the menu. Dangbei also recommends holding down the Home button, selecting the cog symbol to enter the settings menu, selecting Projector / Focus / Advanced / Auto Focus When Moving. This will turn off Auto Focus When Moving. The selection is off when it is white to the left instead of blue to the right. The presence of the 3D mode option in the Home / Picture menu gave me the incorrect impression that I had to set 3D mode first before viewing a 3D video or movie. I was wondering why the 3D mode setting selection that I made in the menu never worked and kept changing back to Off. Instead, what you have to do is start to view the 3D video or movie first. When you see double images side by side or one image on top of another, you have to hold down the Home button that has a white house symbol on the button. That will then reveal a menu on the right side of the screen where you can select the Picture menu option and scroll almost all the way down to select the 3D mode. There are 3 options for turning on 3D mode where the images are on top of each other, side to side, or coming from a Blu-Ray player (such as a PlayStation 4 connected to the projector via an HDMI cable). After changing the 3D mode, you have to press twice the button that has the white arrow pointing to the left on the remote control. The Dangbei video on YouTube does not seem to show this last part, which is necessary or your 3D mode selection will return to Off. The PlayStation 4 requires some changes on the PlayStation 4's menu on the far right side for Settings / Sound and Screen / Video Output Settings / TV Size to specify the size of the projected screen. If you are off by 1 inch, the 3D image might not look right, as if you were crossing your eyes. For some scenes, I have to select 80 inches, and for other scenes, I have to select 81 inches. When you go back to viewing the video or movie after selecting the screen size, the 3D mode will be Off again, so you have to go through the process of holding down the Home button on the remote control, going into Picture, and selecting the 3D mode again after each try of adjusting the screen size in the PlayStation 4 settings. That is a really tedious and time-consuming process of trial and error. The reward is a clear 3D image.
