    This is my second edit:I need to really point out at the beginning, how much FUN this projector is!

A tripod and pull up screen (front or rear projection) help, but a wall will do. A perfect way to beat the heat in the pool or have some fun after dinner on the patio. Or take it to a party. I am getting a PS TV to stream my console.

    I really want to give 4 or 5 stars to this product but the software is buggy and product is not well tested which prevent it from reaching its hardware's full potential.

    Pros:
    1. Very easy to start with. Just power on the product and my living room is instantly transformed into a movie theater. No installation, external speaker, or power outlet is required. Very convenient and very impressive concept.
    2. It has Android operating system, which opens up tons of possibilities in terms of usage.
    3. Its resolution is the highest on the market. Don't be fooled by other products' "supported resolution". Native resolution is the metric you should look at.
    4. Bright enough to be used even during day time (without direct sunlight)
    5. Its build-in JBL speaker has decent sound quality, enough for movies, but not as good as high-end bluetooth speakers.
    6. Supports external speakers via Bluetooth
    7. Supports external keyboard and mouse (via the USB port)
    8. Works with Western Digital My Cloud Android app. I have a Western Digital My Cloud hard drive, so I can steam movies from the hard drive to the screen. One problem about this app is that I need to use a mouse to click the button to sign in.
    9. Plays videos on websites via the build-in browser.

    Cons:
    1. Wifi connection drops occasionally and I don't seem to find a pattern. I have to turn off wifi and turn it back on to gain connection. This defeats the purpose of having an Android operating system to some extent.
    2. Wifi and bluetooth (for external speaker) can't work at the same time. You have to choose only one of them at a time. This problem happens on my cellphone (OnePlus X) as well, so I don't think it's a defect of the particular item I received but rather a design problem.
    3. It doesn't work with Amazon Prime Video Android app. Specifically it doesn't work with the video player in the app (I guess it's a Flash player). It plays the video for a second and then paused. And often when that happens, Wifi connection also drops. Considering Amazon video is so popular and I am a Prime member, this prevents me from watching a lot of movies. I haven't tried Netflix app and not sure if it works.
    4. It doesn't work with VLC Player. Works with MX Player.
    5. It doesn't work with Google Play Store app. After installing the app via APK, I can't open the app. I also tried apkpure but can't load the list of apps. So the only way to install app on the projector is to download the APK onto a USB drive and plug it into the projector. This works but not convenient.

    I wish the wifi problems can be resolved and software environment can be well tested. Then this would be a very powerful product.
