@huntd
If that’s 250 lumens over the ANSI-spec screen section, it’s damned good. And if it was 250 lumens of light output from the projection light source, the screen would be dim enough that nobody would buy it. I’m going to figure that it’s the former, based on the other reviews I’m seeing.
@smkarizona it took 3 comments and a full hour to get to the obvious and appropriate response. You guys are slacking! Thanks @smkarizona for saving our collective reputation.
@Euniceandrich the specs listed on this one have a contrast ratio of 499:1 where the side deals one has a ratio of 5000:1. Of course this could be just an error.
@braveit1@Euniceandrich
Or it could be like those flashlights on eBay that claim to have military-satellite-killer death-ray light output levels; one or more of these figures is a lie.
@Narwalt
Looks like hooks that stick on to a vertical surface. How well that would work on a backyard fence or some such is anybody’s foolishly optimistic guess.
They say "easy tabletop assembly, but I don’t see any mention of a frame of any kind, so I’m guessing that they only give you a pack of stick-on hooks, and you’d best hope that you never need to set it up in a second place (assuming that the first one works).
Also, photoreflective surfaces tend to be really touchy about being folded, in my experience. I’d call that a tarp, myself.
@werehatrack
It’s the appearance of it just being a sort of tarp with either Velcro or shower curtain hooks in the photos combined with the talk of the “tabletop” assembly that was confusing me. When I think tabletop I think it stands on its own, and this, as you’ve noted, doesn’t show any proof it can.
@ArmchairGamer
I think I’ve figured out the “earing port” thing; looks like a bad translation of “earphone jack”. There’s a headset jack on the side in the photos and diagrams, but no mention is made of one in the specs. so I’m going to figure that’s what they’re talking about. This device and its docs just reek of “we don’t actually make these, and we’re not even sure what some of these specs mean ourselves.” Given the number of functionally identical products coming across the big pond with a zillion different brand labels slapped on to the box, that’s not surprising.
@haydesigner Our set up is outside (we have a similar projector, different manufacturer). There is no place in the house where we can run this.
Compact, for sure. The top box has the headphones and wires, the second box has the projector, the roku and extension cord, the bottom box has the Blu-ray dvd player.
I blogged about it and make changes to the blog as we figure out what works better for us. Maybe it will give you some ideas.
A Youtube review pretty much gives it a “meh” review, so I guess it fits right in! You do get 1080p which is better than the other sub-$100 units that only display 720, or worse, 480. REVIEW
The well-designed speaker system produces clear, stereo, and all-around sound which complements your viewing experience
Umm, the specs show one small speaker grille on the rear. This is a speaker system how? This is stereo how? There’s a headphone jack on the side, which one could presumably run to an amplified speaker setup, but nothing I saw gave any details about that.
Looked at reviews for this and saw that it had the same OSD menu as the 720p Medion model I got from Aldi for $130. I liked it enough but took it back because I wanted 1080p. This looks like the answer. If it’s anything like other cheap projectors cranking up maximum settings crushes similar colors together. Lower brightness and other settings for best results.
Just got it. For $80 this thing slaps. Quieter than a jet engine and brighter than a free flashlight from harbor freight. Screen looked worse than a bare wall. Kept it Incase I want to project somewhere there isn’t a bare wall.
@calpdavis you must have received a lemon because the one I got is so bright it’s clear even with the lights on and that’s when being projected onto a bare eggshell finished wall. I do agree it’s a bit on the loud side but you hardly notice when connecting a good quality sound bar

Something seems fishy about this deal.
@yakkoTDI I think you might be projecting.
@awk @yakkoTDI I think you should focus on the deal here.
@yakkoTDI
I’m sure they screened this before agreeing to sell them.
250 lumens says Waldemart.
@huntd Isn’t that The Company that must not be named?

@huntd Under ‘Additional Specs’, it lists 200 ANSI Lumens
@alanv73 @huntd That’s actually pretty decent.
No Vankyo
Hmmm… wasn’t some other recent product linked to the same Walmart third-party seller? Coincidence?
@craigthom more from Himalaya Trading Company

@craigthom
ITYM Himalayalineacoke there.
SEEMS LIKE A GREAT DEAL, JUST HAVE NO USE FOR THIS UNLESS I’M MISSING SOMETHING , TY ANYWAY TEAM MEH GREAT JOB ON SUPPLYING GREAT ITEMS LATELY.
@mellowirishgent BUY IT NOW, FIND A USE FOR IT LATER. THAT IS THE meh WAY.
{Didn’t you buy an extra caps-lock release key for use when you needed it? Now would be a good time.)
@mellowirishgent you seem to be missing the fact that the caps lock key is reversible.
@warpedrotors MY KEYBOARD IS IN BRAILLE. I’M TRYING TO GET USE TO IT, THANKS
@mellowirishgent @warpedrotors That could explain why you don’t need a projector.
I don’t have any place that can fit 100 inches.
@hchavers Have you asked yer mum?
@lowlypeon i hope it’s the alcohol talking.
@hchavers That’s what she said.
@hchavers That’s why you had your door frames widened.
@smkarizona it took 3 comments and a full hour to get to the obvious and appropriate response. You guys are slacking! Thanks @smkarizona for saving our collective reputation.
Speaking of SideDeal, looks like same price, but I don’t see mention of the screen over there …
@Euniceandrich Right… thats why we’re here at Meh… we get the better deal here, but only ONE thing
@Euniceandrich the specs listed on this one have a contrast ratio of 499:1 where the side deals one has a ratio of 5000:1. Of course this could be just an error.
@braveit1 @Euniceandrich
Or it could be like those flashlights on eBay that claim to have military-satellite-killer death-ray light output levels; one or more of these figures is a lie.
So, how does the screen actually set up? Velcro basically?

@Narwalt @werehatrack
Picture from the Waldemart site:
Hey @Meh people… the link to “Additional specs” above seems to link to your internal Salesforce instance. Ya might want to fix that.
@blaadnort I’m not sure at meh is at meh.
But you are 100% right about the link.
https://mediocre--c.na170.content.force.com/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=00P6e00001UxPy9
I get a salesforce login screen too.
Is it @thumperchick that works there? I can’t recall.
@blaadnort @Thumperchick oh wait… @dave maybe?
@blaadnort @dave @stinks @Thumperchick No idea what you’re talking about, the link works fine for me…oh no.
Give this a shot while someone with more edit power figures it out.
@blaadnort @dave @ExtraMedium @stinks @Thumperchick
This link works, but now I’m really curious about what an “Earing port” is for.
@ArmchairGamer @blaadnort @dave @ExtraMedium @stinks @Thumperchick
The user manual doesn’t mention it. Maybe that’s a ludicrous translation of “speaker opening”? The place from which what one “ears” emerges? I’ve seen worse manglings.
@blaadnort @dave @ExtraMedium @stinks @Thumperchick Earings…duh.

@tinsami1 It worked! Your order number is: yellow-guttural-desire
/image yellow guttural desire
I’d like to use this in my backyard, but then it’d be nowhere close to any video source.
@haydesigner
Use a laptop…?
@haydesigner use a firetv sitck, computer, dvd player, cell phone with USB-c to HDMI output adapter, DVR/VCR.
@haydesigner Our set up is outside (we have a similar projector, different manufacturer). There is no place in the house where we can run this.
Compact, for sure. The top box has the headphones and wires, the second box has the projector, the roku and extension cord, the bottom box has the Blu-ray dvd player.

How much does it weigh? If it’s not portable, it’s not useful.
@Dizavid it’s above in the specs. It’s a little under 6 lbs. If you have the carrying case and all the cords it comes with, it’s about 8 lbs
Where’s the stand for it?
Its the same price at walmart if you buy both the projector and screen… Why would I buy from meh?
@npopat
Because they aren’t Waldemart?
A Youtube review pretty much gives it a “meh” review, so I guess it fits right in! You do get 1080p which is better than the other sub-$100 units that only display 720, or worse, 480.
REVIEW
@TheMonkeyKing That review is at a $250 price point.
For 80 clams that looks very, very good.
@TheMonkeyKing This is the one I got on Amazon (the Topvision). It’s $72 for black Friday.
I was surprised at how good it was.
100 inches is too big
@fairchild521
I’m just going to quietly sidle off to a safe distance…
@fairchild521 That’s what she said.
Umm, the specs show one small speaker grille on the rear. This is a speaker system how? This is stereo how? There’s a headphone jack on the side, which one could presumably run to an amplified speaker setup, but nothing I saw gave any details about that.

This looks like the answer. If it’s anything like other cheap projectors cranking up maximum settings crushes similar colors together. Lower brightness and other settings for best results.
Since “specs” isn’t one of my languages, can someone tell me if I can hook up my iPhone to this thang?
@gjrupert I bought a USB-C to HDMI cable for my Android phone so get a lightning to HDMi and you should see your phone on the projector
@Larry1977 Thank you.
