[1000 ANSI & Audio by DBX-TV] Alvar 4K Projector with WiFi 6 and Bluetooth, 30W Speakers, Netflix Certified & DoIby Audio Outdoor Proyector, Auto Focus Native 1080P Smart Projector, Black

Great product for the price point
I recently purchased this projector, and I couldn’t be happier with its performance. The 1000 ANSI lumens make for a bright and vibrant display, even in rooms with some ambient light. The colors are rich, the contrast is excellent, and the sharpness brings movies and shows to life in a way I didn’t expect from a projector at this price point.What really sets this projector apart is the audio by DBX-TV—the built-in sound is leagues ahead of most projectors I’ve used. The clarity, depth, and balance make for a truly immersive experience, eliminating the need for an external speaker in many cases.Setup was a breeze, and the variety of input options made it easy to connect my devices. Whether for movies, gaming, or presentations, this projector delivers top-notch performance. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a high-quality home theater experience!

Great Projector. Great Value. Gets the Job Done.
Bought this projector with plans to use it primarily for outdoor movie nights this year. Pictures show tests of the video quality when the projection size is about 100” and 200” under various media and lighting conditions. I have been thoroughly impressed with how well it performs. The video quality is very nice and respectably clear. The Dolby Audio speakers are also pleasantly powerful. The fan is noticeable when there is no sound but once you start watching something it pretty much fades into the background. My friends and I decided that for movie nights we would most likely still use our own sound equipment but for any outdoor watch parties for sporting events the internal Dolby speakers would be more than sufficient. The auto focus feature is very nice but I did find myself having to do only the slightest manual adjustment from time to time afterwards in a few of my test runs. But that only takes all of 2 seconds with the remote to do the finishing adjustment if it’s even necessary. The pre-loaded apps; Netflix, YouTube, and Amazon Video; I was able so use with no issues. However when I tried downloading Hulu and Disney+ from their “App Store” I was unable to get the apps to open properly. Thankfully, the projector comes with 2 x hdmi ports and a usb port so I just plugged in my Roku stick to use its apps instead and this solution worked fine. I did not try the Bluetooth feature in either direction so I cannot speak to how well that performs. Also it does not come with a protection cover for the lens when not in use so be mindful of that.Overall, for the features and the quality that you get at this budget-friendly price point it is truly a great projector. I am completely satisfied with my purchase and hope it lasts a long time with no issues.

Right off the bat, the usability gets 5 stars. The projector really does all the work and the app and settings menus are super simple to use. Fan noise is lower than on my smaller 1080p projector and the resolution is clearly better. I haven’t tested 4K video just yet, but all the 1080p content I’ve played works flawlessly. Unfortunately, there’s only one little screw knob on the front underside for tilt and it’s kinda cheap. The lens also doesn’t come with a cap which was a bit of a surprise since it’s always good to have one for storage. Nevertheless, none of the components came scratched or damaged out of the box so that’s a plus.Although the initial settings include an auto-focus adjustment, as well as every time the projector moves, you can turn it off in the settings and use manual (remote) only. Since everything is basically controlled electronically, the remote is key and it’s paired to the projector through Bluetooth (BT), so it doesn’t really matter where you point it as long as you’re within the BT range. If you turn BT off in the settings, the remote will cease to function. That’s just the tech. But if it’s a concern, you can always just use the touch-sensitive buttons on the back of the projector. No biggie.As for the inputs, I haven’t tested the second HDMI, but both the USB and first HDMI function flawlessly. Super happy they included an HDMI cable too because my supply is limited. Of course, with the on-board decoders, you can play media off of a flash drive directly and there’s absolutely no lag in the data stream. Hovering over each thumbnail/file will only play audio though.The in-video options aren’t many and are kept pretty simple. You can pause the video at any time and zoom in as well as fast forward through preset increments. There’s a memory function too, so if you accidently go back to the files menu and click on the media file again, it’ll resume where you left off. A good feature imo. You can access the picture and audio settings at any time of course, even while the video is playing.In terms of the picture, you can choose the picture mode of course (vivid being my favourite), but I strongly recommend using the custom settings because the standard is pretty dim and cinema cuts the brightness while upping the contrast. All the modes keep the same gamma so if you want to play around a bit, definitely go custom. The higher the brightness, the better imo; although it also ups the fan speed. Just be sure to have the projector EXACTLY perpendicular to the wall or screen, otherwise the focus will be off on the nearer side. And a white/ivory background is always best imo. Eggshell will dim some of the brighter colours.Audio actually has a few more options, including a couple dolby outputs and the ability to use a BT device like a speaker or headphones (there’s a 3.5mm jack on the projector that I never use). The on-board speakers are actually remarkably good, so you can easily use them for regular television, YouTube and news casts; but once you start watching movies and the fan steps up, the noise can sometimes interfere with the quieter sounds. Personally, I like to run a small soundbar and it works great. Pairing takes about 60 seconds which is longer than most, but remember that it’s also always running the remote at the same time. With wifi OFF and running movies from flash, there’s negligible audio lag. Basically none. Once you start streaming from your router, while running a BT audio output, that’s when it becomes slightly more noticeable. Not by much though. Quite impressed actually. But be aware that you have to crank the audio volume any time you connect to a BT audio source. Not sure why that is, but it’s over double than what you need for the on-board sound. Of course, you can always do the reverse and connect to the projector from your phone and run both audio and video out of it, but I really haven’t experimented with that option.As for the apps, I’ve really only been using Youtube and it works just as well as on my LED TV. They’re so similar that there’s actually little difference. You can’t side-load any Andriod apps unfortunately, but I’m not too fussed. Most of my input comes from either YT, flash or IPTV through HDMI.Overall though I have to say that I really dig this thing. The front tilt could’ve been better of course since it’s so cheap, but everything else – from the packaging to the manual, to the power adapter and remote are all great. Ease of use is amazing since everything is done through thumbnails and the only +/- controls are the focus and volume, so it literally takes no extra learning. The fan is relatively quiet, there are 2 HDMI outputs and BT audio has negligible lag. Really good stuff. There are multiple options for mounting of course so you can hang it both in front or behind a screen if you choose. The rest is taken care of by the projector itself. Honestly wasn’t expecting something this good, so nearly all of my expectations were exceeded. Full marks so far.

First off I would like to say I think the unit I received could have been a return just for the fact that the lens cover film that in the instruction manual states to remove, was not on the lens.With that out of the way I can say that this is one impressive projector. I know nothing about projectors and ordered this to see what the hype is about them. I can see it now along with some negatives.The positive thing about this is it’s movability. I like rearranging my furniture once in awhile. Takes some of the boredom with cleaning. So have a projector that is smaller than a 65″ we have, gives me more options lolThis projector offers 4K with 1080P/16:9 ratio with pretty good results. I started this review with it being outside as the listing states it can be used outdoors as well as indoors. As you can see the image was after I set up the wi-fi and some settings is not the greatest but it was still light outside and the viewing range was not ideal as I have a small deck and no screen. But even with that, it was good.I did try it indoors, both upstairs and downstairs where it will probably be and on just light grey walls the image was even better that what you see. My husband was even impressed with the image quality that he wanted to run out today and get a screen.Setting up the projector was fast. Connecting it to Bluetooth was as easy as putting in the wi-fi password after choosing my internet provider. Make sure the device you use (phone/tablet are on the same network) and follow the steps. The remote is sensitive so be careful when you do your password. Mine wasn’t connecting so I unmasked the password (on the screen keyboard you will see and eye with a line through it) as I must have press a letter twice. Once I saw my mistake going forward was a breeze.Like I mentioned the image quality is very good. The audio I will have to go into the setting for the DBX function as the functions have a ‘Total Sonics’ that suppose to ‘improves sound quality’. You can also hook up an external audio source like a sound bar/ sound system with a HDMI cable.There are 2 HD (high-definition television) ports as well as a USB and headphone jack. It does come with a HD cable, however as this projector is rated for only ‘front view’, meaning the projector has to be in front of the screen and does not recommend rear view, the HD cable length is too short for the sound system downstairs. I would need a longer one. The speakers on the projector are 30w.The remote that comes with the projector is very responsive as mentioned above and needs 2-AAA batteries that are not included.Overall impressed with the ALVAR 4K projector and what it can do.
