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)

I have owned three projectors in my life. Viewsonic, Epson, and a mini 720p projector by 3M. I have used them for presentations in meetings, watching movies, and playing games.In short, given my experience, I highly recommend the JIMTAB M18.I did my research. I watched hours of YouTube reviews for about 20 of these budget Chinese projectors before I settled on this one. The thing that sold me on this model was the common denominator... everyone seemed to love this projector. They have good reasons to!Here's what I like:1) It is bright enough. When running a presentation in a lit environment with blinds open and lights on, text and graphics are still crisp and readable. With the lights off, the picture is phenomenal. I know there are cheaper native 1080p projectors on Amazon, but what suffers as a result? Would you sacrifice deep blacks for a higher LUX rating? Would you sacrifice color fidelity? I think the contrast and color representation on this model are wonderful. The blacks look black in a darkened room. The colors look natural and even.2) The fan is quiet enough. I am used to hearing a fan run while using projectors. I feel like many of the reviewers who complain about fan noise on these projectors have no experience to guide their opinions. This is not the loudest projector I have owned, nor is it the quietest. I have owned PC PSUs that were louder.3) The speaker is loud enough and the sound is good enough. You should not rely on any projector to deliver a high-fidelity audio experience, and this projector is no exception. For presentations, watching YouTube, etc., it will work fine. I recommend a separate audio solution for watching movies and listening to music. The speaker can be heard well over the fan.4) The picture quality is very good. Running various screen tests, I can confirm that I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of the picture. I did these tests with an 82" white projection screen in a darkened (but not totally dark) room. I noticed a little blurring at the edges of the screen and slight dimming of brightness at the extreme edges. I see these as common traits of all of the projectors I've used. I suppose you can buy projectors costing thousands more that do not have these issues, but I am happy to save that money for something else. When using the manual keystone control, I noticed some bowing of the image at the top and bottom, and more variation in the focus of the image, but overall, within the acceptable range for my use.5) The price is excellent. In a crowded market of budget projectors, it can be difficult to choose the "right" one. The fact that this one costs less than $250, but offers features generally found on name-brand projectors costing $300-400 more is impressive.In summary, if you are looking for a great projector in the crowded field of value projectors, you should seriously consider this one. Let's be real. You can't compare this to a $1000 projector, and nor should you. This is the right projector for business presentations in environments where lighting can be controlled. This is the right projector for a kid's room. This is the right projector for a backyard movie party. This is the right projector for watching TV, and movies, until you can afford to step up to a $1000 system.

Very good value for money. Bright, reliable, good connectivity, good adjustability (keystone, etc.). Very happy with this purchase.

The title doesn't do it justice. The Projector isn't little, in fact it's actually decently sized. It's not really a Portable projector at all. With that out of the way, lets get onto the actual review.I received the projector on the estimated day, even after having some technical difficulties with Amazon. That has nothing to do with the actual product, more of a note about Amazon's warehouse.The projector arrived, and i set it up and used it right away, and was blown away with how clear the image was compared to another projector I ordered. This projector is TRUE native 1080P, which i was really concerned about, after getting burned by Venkyo's projectors.I rated the Picture, and Value for money a 3 out of 5 stars based upon my own testing. One side of the image is always blurry, but I suspect that has nothing to do with the projector, and more about my setup, and once I'm able to get a more substantial setup, and do more testing, I'll change the star rating accordingly. My current setup is just a Plain white sheet stretched and nailed to a Wood paneled wall (the wall is not 100% True/straight, so that probably affects the image. The brightness is amazing, though it still requires a pretty dark room to see the image clearly, it is possible to view it in a adequately lit environment.I used a Blu-ray player, my Macbook Pro, and Xbox one on this projector, and each time, i was surprised with the quality. It's easily able to play 60FPS videos/content with out any ghosting that I noticed. all in all, for the price, I'd say this is easily a steal.the customer support is also very amazing. They have good live support if you contact them through their Facebook page. At the time of my purchase, they were doing a special, where if you give them your Order #, they will send you a gift free of charge. While the gifts are just novelty items, it's still something that shows they care about their customers. I would rate their Customer support 5 out of 5 stars. They checked in with me after I received the gift, to make sure I got it, and to check on how the Projector is working out for me.

I've had this projector for 3 years and counting and ill tell you this , I'm running my fire tv stick and my xbox series x and external immersive speakers from this bad boy and I cant wait to get home from work just to turn it on . Picture is sharp and beautiful , movies give me the theater experience i was looking for and with the extra hdmi port one push of a button on the remote and I'm gaming instantly. I'll also add No input lag for competitive games or chill games . This is definitely one of the best purchases I've ever made and I'm considering purchasing another one for another room in my house. The fan noise is non existence to me being that I use external speakers and or headphones at night when the spouse is asleep. I hope this company continue making this projector and maybe in the future create the first 1440p native projector 😉 . But as of now I'm in love with my 1080p jimtab , highly highly recommended. No regrets
