Good, buy when on sale
So far it's been a good projector. The color is great, and sound is good too. I wish it came with a cap to protect lense though.

WOW Very Impressed
Considering the price this is very impressive. Pros of the HAPPRUN 9500L:It's bright, in a good way. I am projecting on a white ceiling above my bed. Why sit on the couch when you can lie back and watch a movie? The colors are bright and clear. I have the settings picture mode MILD, color temperature MEDIUM, and noise reduction OFF.Even with a table lamp on it's still plenty bright but it's better to turn off all lights to cut down on other light reflectionThe remote works well but you'll need two AAA batteries as they don't come with itThe unit is compact, very sturdy well-builtWatching movies was as good as my laptop but way bigger on the ceiling. I would say comparable to lower-end big TVIt does have some fan noise but extremely reasonable if you're not sitting on top of itYou get a lot more bang for your buck than your expected.Marketing versus reality: (issues with all manufacturers)Pretty much all the video projectors quote ridiculously high numbers as to their lumens or brightness. Read the reviews they're much more realistic than the manufacturer's descriptionsShowing people with their smartphone mirroring content... The reality is you cannot mirror Netflix or apple TV etc to projectors. They don't want you to become the neighborhood movie theater.I use my laptop and a long HDMI cable and I can watch anything I want Support 4K- notice it doesn't say projects 4K because it doesn't. That would cost you a couple of thousand dollars. even saying it projects 1920*1080 might be pushing it... Since the reviews I watched showed the HAPPRUN had better resolution than many of the competitors I agreeTHE CONS:If you're looking at text, from a website you will notice out-of-focus areas and it's somewhat difficult with the focus wheel to get that dialed in exactly. It's not an issue when you are watching a movie but around the edges can be out of focus no matter how much you fiddle.±15° Keystone Correction... Keystone or deskewing allows you to adjust angles when viewing on a screen that may be higher than the actual projector or in my case on the ceiling. The Keystone on the HAPPRUN is very limited. And I must say my older projector had better Keystone. The top screen goes off your projector area when the bottom fits in with room to spare. key adjust that somewhat. Keep in mind it's under a $100Color Black - the colors are very Vivid but the blacks tend to take on darkness all to their own. This creates a really Vivid contrast but as an example, if a newscaster is wearing a black shirt with black buttons the buttons pretty much disappear. This oversaturation of black might be corrected by changing the contrast but I got used to it pretty quicklyI'd first studied some reviews on YouTube and came across HAPPRUN which beat out 12 other video projectors... got third place for great projectors under $100. I had an Auking video projector for 4 years and used it every night but was not bright like the HAPPRUN

You cannot resist this one
I had few projectors before but let me tell you that this one provides you with pretty much everything you can ask for a projector.First, the quality of the video. Whether you're connecting tru wifi or bluetooth, it provides a really high resolution that we see in smart tv nowadays.Second, the sound. I am very picky when it comes to sound. There are times that the show is too quiet but the commercial is too loud on other devices. Well, this beast maintains balance & clear sounds!Third, the user manual guide, remote & good size storage bag! The guide is very detailed unlike others. If you're new to this, you will definitely appreciate these 3 mentioned.

Not quite loud enough for my outdoor theater
Its a good speaker with clean sound and popping bass. I wouldn't say it has booming bass though. The only problem is that it just doesn't have enough output. Usually I have to turn it at least 2 clicks away if not all the way up when my phone is connected over bluetooth to hear it well enough when I work in the yard. And I had hoped it would serve well as a speaker for my projector for some indoor/outdoor movie nights but it just isn't loud enough. I mean indoors its okay but just expected a little more sound. I have to turn it all the way up for comfortable hearing when gathered with friends

Chronic illness bestie
I got diagnosed witha chronic illness earlier this year and having this small but mighty projector makes life so much nicer when I am stuck in bed. I hook up my fire stick and I can watch movies in bed when I really literally can't get up. I put the image onto my blank wall and the image is clear and crisp. I don't need additional speakers or anything, the sound is good and the volume comes through nice and strong.I've had this for a few months and am still impressed. When I am not using it I tuck it in my nightstand drawer. Take up no room at all.

Surprisingly clear picture on my basic apartment w
I was surprised how clear the image on my wall was when using the PJ10. I thought for sure the image would be poor in quality because I didn't prepare any special projector surface but it looked almost as good as my 1080p Television.The unit itself seems very well built. There's no play in the outer plastic panels. They feel thick. The buttons feel sturdy when pressed, as opposed to flimsy and ready to fall apart like a lot of the A/V stuff you find on Amazon. You can tell this company takes its products seriously.The menus are easy to understand and navigate. The instructions are written well also. I love having so many different options for connecting to media. I opted to simply plug my PS5 in via HDMI but it's nice knowing I can stream from a pc wirelessly or even play straight from a USB storage device. Very convenient.If I had to make any complaint it would be that the sound quality coming out of the unit is not great, but that is to be expected. It was not as bad as one might think either. I watched a documentary and all the dialogue was easily audible.All in all I'm very happy I took a chance on this projector.

Great, but…
So this is a great budget projector. Good quality for picture. A bit loud for the fan but not terrible. Bluetooth works great for external speaker. My only concern which I’m returning and getting a replacement is the remote control. First time using it, twice one of the AAA batteries got super hot and burned off the battery skin. Take a look at the pictures. Pretty dangerous as I removed before it got really bad. I hope the replacement unit has a better remote or else I will find something else.*Update: I asked seller to send a replacement and they sent it asap. Remote seems to be totally fine with the new unit. Works very well and we’re happy. Thanks for the quick shipment of the replacement unit. FYI unit is good quality in picture but not too bright. With lights mostly off it’s great. During the day not so much.

SINCERELY IMPRESSED!
SINCERELY IMPRESSED!We planned and went through with a Halloween Movie Night in our driveway, social distancing rules in place, and a table with treats for our (very) few limited guests. We knew we needed a basic projector, but which one?We didn’t need all the fancy bells or whistles and had no intention of using it for an inside theater or whatnot, so we knew going in it needn’t be top of the line. Something that can project a movie onto a garage door – clearly – with decent sound – nothing more, nothing less. Because it suited our budget (and many of the positive reviews) we went with the Goodee – and so glad we did.As you can see in the attached pic we got our money’s worth – nice, big, clear picture on the door for the movie – just exactly what we wanted and needed. (The pic was in focus, it’s my shaky hand that produced the focus faux pas.) We played an MP4 Movie File for “Hocus Pocus” (via external zip drive) and the picture was quite good, and the sound was more than adequate (we had an external Bose speaker, but the internal sound was a touch louder.) Next time around we’ll probably attach a louder external speaker but as for “Hocus Pocus,” it did the trick. (I see what I did there.)Haven’t used it since – and probably won’t, until the next outside movie night – but I can sincerely endorse this projector as a great choice for your basic, “just show me a movie outside” option, no hassle, little fuss. I’m pretty sure we’ll be doing a few outside flicks for the holidays, and will try and update my review with a new image or two at that time. If you’re on a budget and looking for a decent projector that will meet kids’ needs, I can highly recommend the Goodee!

Good buy!
I have been considering to buy a projector for a long while, and finally decided to buy this one. I got it during traveling, so I just did a quick test in my hotel room.It has everything that I wanted! The connection is easy and straightforward. The image and audio qualities are satisfying. It also has the digital 4-point correction. So easy to adjust the image. I kept it on for about 2 hours, and it didn't overheat. It also has a remote control going with it, but I don’t have batteries with me now. It seems really easy to use, though! I can definitely see that will be helpful when I get the batteries for it. So I would consider this a good buy! (BTW please ignore the wall decor in the hotel room!)
